his long, varied and tempestuous ca

Starting out as simply a question OF
Judgment between near-president of the
club and the manager. the trouble over
the deal between the PhiIlies and Gin
cinnati Reds has reached such proper
tons that il has split the National
League in factions. and August Herr
mann, chairman of the national com
mission, has given notice that II FogeI
does not step aside there will be more
trouble in the next few days than Fogel
ever dreamed OF.
In this column It was pointed out yes
terday that blame for the whole matter
could probably be traced to Charles
Webb Murphy, the man Friday Of the
Chicago Cubs Today writers through
out the East have awakened to the fact
that the whole trouble has been caused
by the cOmmercialization of baseball by
a syndicate which is interested in both
the Chicago and the Philadelphia Ma
uonals, and which declines TO permit Of

yond the reach Of The Cubs, m their

about the purchase Of stock in the Phil

Johnny Heydler. of this city, as presi-
dent Of the National League. a posi-
ton he obtained when Harry PuIliam
died.
Brush. Of New York, and the Taft
Murphy delegation from Chicago
thought that by beating Heydler and
electing John NJ. Ward as head Of the
circuit. they would be more favOrably
treated. In order to do this il has al
ways been claimed that the Tafts and
their man Murphy got control Of the
PhillieS and put Fogel I'm to cause the
defeat of Heydler. and the election

sible for HeydleT To remain at the top

SO serious is the situation in the
National League that il would not be
surprising TO see il all settled by slow
music and no fUrore. Garry Hermann
