MURPHY MUST PUT
UP OR SHUT UP

Forbes Field, Pittsburg, October s-The
national commission met at the Schnley
hotel but did not take the expected ac-
ton on the recpening of the Pfeffer case.
President Charles w. Murphy of the Chi
cago Nationals has asked for the reopen
ing OF the case for which he was fined
$500 for the alleged tampering with Pitch
er Pfeffer of the Toronto Eastern league
club.
1t is thought Murphy will be given 70
hours in which to pay the $500 or be read
out of organized baseball. 1t is also
thought be will be reprimanded for his
conduct in this case.
The commission decided how the UNI
pires were to work throughout the series
and especially cautioned the players of
both teams concerning rowdyism of any
sort during the series. 1t was announced
officially that tombstone would work be-
hind the plate today and O'Lougrlin on
the bases. Tomorrow Evans will work
behind the bat with KLEIN on the bases.
The commission adopted the following
resolution In regard to Harry Pulliam,
late president of the National league.
Harry c. Pulliam, one of the origina-
tors Of the series, has passed away His
counsel in this body will be heard no
more. Organized baseball never had a
more jealous, devoted sponsor. In order,
therefore, that his memory may forever
remain green, it is directed by the ma
tional commission that memorial card
be printed and that on the day sched-
uled for the first game of the worlds
series of each year the same be dis
tributed to all eligible players of the
contestng clubs, the official umpires,
scorers and business representatives, as
well as to the owners of the contending
clubs and the press; and that on the same
day in each year there be placed on the
grave of Harry c. Pulliam at Louisville,
KY, floral wreath as token of the es-
teen in which he was held by every one
connected with organized baseball.
