felt it pride and satisfaction to COM
ply with the invitation of the eoni-
mittee in charge to express the cor
dial. greeting which the people felt
for their townsman, Danny Murphy.
This spontaneous burst of welcome,
these Examinations and this immense
audience were indeed a welcome to
make any heart swell with pride, but
they We're more than that For they
were tribute of the great body of
the American people of their adinira-
ton for clean, manly, scientific sport
and particularly for our national game
of baseball Men and women admire
the expert player and where will you
find a more expert or scientific ex
ponent of our great game than our
friend, Danny Murphy? From the day
when Murphy moved out from under
the wing of Henry B. Davenport into
the major league, the local people had
always followed the popular player,
said DIR. Hartman, and they were
convinced that no small part in the
winning of the recent world series had
been attributable to the Norwich man.
DR.. Hartman reviewed the interest
shown by the Norwich crowds as
they waited with interest to hear the
results of the games, graphically de-

known that something was going to
happen, and it did happen in singles
and doubles and a home run great

Combined with his brilliancy in the
field, it meant that when this most
remarkable series of games was writ
ten up in the history of baseball, the
feats Of Danny Murphy would con-
tribute some of the most spectacular
features In scoring runs himself and
bringing in others of the Athletics,
Murphy had been accountable for more
runs than the Chicago team had
amassed in the entire series, and
Counsellor Edward T. Burke, that
wisest Of home fans, had doped it out
right when he said the CUBS were
outclassed.
DR.. Hartman then bestowed few
words of praise on the local committee
in charge Of the arrangements and
presented to Danny Murphy on behalf
of the home fans a handsome fishing
outfit, consisting of an A No. l nine
foot Bristol steel rod, six sections,
agate tip and guides, with reversible
handle. patent automatic self winding
reel and a fishing basket.
The burst of applause that followed
the doctors eloquent words swept Muir
ply off his feet as he rose in the box
to reply and he passed over to DR..
Hartman the duty of making his ac-
acknowledgements.
The doctor again caught the atten-
ton of his audience by a graceful ref

bands successful career and presented
her with an immense bunch of hand
some cbrysanthemums. She bowed her
thanks and the doctor again made a
verbal expression of appreciation on
her behalf. A big picture of Murphy
was then thrown on the screen and
wildly applauded while the theater or

Over the table in ribbons hung the bat
