Off for his eighth spring training trip with the Philadelphia Athletics, Dan Murphy left his home here on Sunday, taking the trolley to New London, where he expected to take the federal express for Philadelphia With his usual modesty and dislike of a fuss be- ing made over him. Dan ducked any farewell ceremony that his many friends might have rendered, but he startS off with the best wishes of a srsalkkarny of local fans
 MoItday morning in Philadelphia Captain Davis gathers a bunch of if teen of the veterans of the Athletics and leaves with them for Hot Springs Ark, where they will stay for ten days, for a boiling out to put them in general good condition. They will then move on to Atlanta to complete their spring training, and return to Phila- delphia in time to play the dntercity series with the Philadelphia Nationals in April.
 In the squad of veterans will be Pitchers Plank, Bender, Coombs, Nor gan, Krause, Dygert; Catchers Thom- as and Livingstone; Infe1ders Collins, Barry and Baker; Outfelders Murphy. Haastsel, Oldring and HeitmulIer.
 Connie Mack with the recruits will do their spring training all dn Atlanta. It Is reported that there is a pitcher among the new ones whom Connie Mack has signed up for next season who is going to mix them up with eith- CT hand. Here is what they say about him:
 Charley Friene has come to terms with Connie Mack and mailed back his contract. The Philadelphia club will have in F'riene a young pitcher of un- usual ability. He is an aznbidextrous thrower. There are few pitchers who can shoot the ball over the plate with either hand but Friene has done it. He has pitched part of a game with his right hand and finished up with his left It is only when he is tiring or has some dangerous southpaw hitter that he smokes them over with his left. John Reilly discovered the youngster, who is graduate of Santa Clara col lege, and recommended him to Connie Mack

JUDGMENT FOR PLAINTIFF
 FOR BOTH NOTES. R. A. Lowe Wins in Suit Against p. E. Hendrick for $2,650 and Interest.

On Saturday Judge Gardiner Greene handed down a decision in the case of R. A. Lowe of Waterbury vs. F. F. Hendrick. which was recently heard in this city. In the memordandun of de- cision, he says:
 The substituted complaint contains two counts. The first is on a note for sI500. date Jnue l, 1909. payable two Lowe, the plaintiff, at the banking house of James Staples & Co., for value received, and signed by Philip E. Hen- drick. the defendant.

 the proceeds to his own use. When the note came due the defendant did not pay 1t, and the plaintiff with his own money took 1t up and now holds it. plaintiff on said note s1,500 and inter- est at 6 per cent. from August 1, 1909.
 The allegations of the first two para graphs of the second count of the com plaint are admitted by the answer. The only questions on the second count of the complaint arc those raised by the amended defense of it. i e., whether the defendant, with the knowledge and con sent of the plaintiff and for the plaintiffs benefit. paid $1,150 due from defendant to plaintiff on the contract set up in the second count aforesaid, by the various items of payment set forth in said amended defense, and whether he fully accounted to the plaintiff for the monies so paid.
 I find that the defendant did not pay any of the said items for plaintiffs benefit and with his knowledge and consent, nor account to the plaintiff therefor, and that there is due from defendant to plaintiff under said sec ond count $1.150 and interest at per cent from June 1, 1909.
 Judgment is rendered for the plain tiff to recover of the defendant on the first count s1.500 with interest at 6 per cent. from August l, 1909, and on the second count $1,150 with interest at 6 per cent from June 1, 1909-
