word that Danny utters during a con- ference That's what makes 1t stick out from the general babble like q sore thumb and sink into the listeners
 Up on Inside Baseball. Danny is one of the most earnest workers on the most earnest working baseball team in the wide universe, and while a strict disciplinarian in ev- cry sense of the word, IS not the type who will carry this dlsciplinarian gag to the point of officiousness. What his players do for him they will do be- cause they respect his ideas Tn the matter and because they feel that they have to. Thoroughly familiar with the @inside points'' of the great national froIic and with the faculty of originat- ing plays to suit existing conditions, he like his predecessor on the job, Harry Davis, is the type of leader who will tend toward welding together a machine that will work in harmony for the common good instead of each part pumping along on the path to- ward individual glory,
 Joined Mack in 1902
 Tn point of actual service, the new field leader of the Worlds Champions has something on every other member of his team with the exception of Ed die Plank. Murphy came to the Ath- lteics in 1902 when he was purchased Manager Mack to fill the shoes of the peerless Lajoie, when Larry was grab bed from the Athletics through the mandates of the courts.
 Filled His Collar from the Start.
 Now, anybody gifted with the aver age perspic1city can see without much of a mental strain just what kind Of a tough proposition a young player from the bushes is stacking up against when he jumps the breach that has been chopped out by the absence of as great a ball player at Lajoie- The chances are that the surrounding at mosphere will be filled with odious comparisons for the next few weeks that fellow can breathe without choking on a handful of these tNing.s But Murphy at once played himself into popular favor with the Philadel- pTlia fans, and there was nothing do- ing in the odiouS comparison stuff In fact, the ''odious comparison" business went right into a complete and definite stagnation.
 Runners Dread Murphy's Wing.
 Murphy held down second base for the Athletics until moved to right field to solve the problem caused by the passing Of Socks" SeybOld in the spring of 1907. and for the past five years has played the "Sun field" and earned for himself the reputation of being the sureSt ''sun fielder and most consistent thrower in the Outfielding business All opposing base runners have learned not to take chances on the bases when 'HMuph" is handling the pill out there.
 Hits Them to the Boundaries.
 At 35 years of age, the batting eye of rubbing Dan" has lost none of it's acuteness. And be it known that t'sun fielderS" are generally supposed to lose this acuteness of the swatting orb at an earlier stage in their career tions. Murphy slammed the leather for an average of 1928 during the past

POINT HAD BEEN CONSIDERED.
Rules Committee Had Decided That Situation at Princeton Could Not Happen.

Philadelphia, Nov. 14.-Dr James A. Eabbitt, chairman of the central board or officials and member of the football rules committee, says that at a meet ing of the rules committee someone suggested that ruling be made for Just such a play as that with which Princeton beat Dartmouth Saturday The members of the committee. ac- cording to pr. Babbitt, considered the play an impossible one and laughingly dismissed the suggestion.
 Now the very play comes up,' said Dr. Babbitt, "and in such a way that 1t decides an important game. This together with several other things brought out by the games this year. will give the rules committee an op- portunity to make further legislation to improve the present game and to perfect the rules"

Yale underestimated the strength of New York university in the game Sat urcay the result being another black mark against her. The game also showed that the Blue team is not the dangerous factor that it IS expected to be. She has a compact scoring ma chine, but the masterful strength that has made her tower above other teams iri previous years is not evident from her play thus far this season.

NEW STRANGER COMET is
PLAINLY VISIBLE NOW

Have you seen the new stranger
comet? It was plainly visible In
the northwest last night for about
an hour and half and the nucleus
showed with considerable brilliancy.
The tail which was about rs degrees
long was not so bright although 1t
was still visible. This visitor can
most likely be seen again tonight be-
tween the hours of 900 and 1880
about 80 degrees above the horizon.
The moon is getting brighter and
after tonight will not set until SO
date that it will interfere greatly
with the view OF the comet, y
The comet seen here is supposed
to be the visitor announced by the
astronomers sometime ago when they
first sightd it with their instru-
ments. 1t has not been named and
as it can not be associated with any
of the regular visitors 1t is supposed
that 1t is a stranger that has found
its way into the influence of our
planetary system.
