NEW YORK. February 1s-Neither
side TO the long-drawn-out wrangle over
the National Leagues playing dates had
given any sign of yielding when the van
guard of the weary magnates put in an
appearance today at the Waldorf. where
the annual schedule meeting is supposed
10 be In session. Both the factions were
firm as ever in their declarations that
they were in the fight to the finish.
Rumors. were circulated, however. that
behind the bold front of the contesting
groups a move for compromise was under
way, and the prediction that the 154-game
schedule, with some modifica tions. was
soon to be adopted persisted throughout
the morning
1t was suggested in some knowing
circles today that If the conflicting dates
of the Chicago teams on their home
grounds could be fixed up to the meas
urable satisfaction of President Murphy
the deadlock would be broken in short
order.

MURPHY BARS WRESTLING.
Too Many of Pennsy's Foot Ball
Stars Injured.

PHILADELPHIA. February 1s-"Mike''
Murphy. the famous athletic trainer. has
decided that wrestling is too dangerous
for foot ball players to indulge in and
will no longer permit the University OF
PennsyIvania's gridiron men to grapple
with the strong men of other universities.
Murphys reason for turning against the
sport is the many injuries sustained this
winter by Pennsylvania wrestlers. most
of whom are foot ball players.
Heilman, one of the big linemen, broke
the drum of his ear and was out of the
sport for six weeks; Burdick was out an
equal length Of time because of a torn
ligament; Payne broke his arm. and.
finally. Pike. the giant guard, broke his
right leg above the ankle. This was the
last straw, and Murphy ordered Burdick,
who had recovered from his torn liga-
ment. to give up the sport. Coach Waite
pleaded with the trainer for a long time,
but Murphy was obdurate.
