Mlkt MUdPhY TO SPEND
 WINTER IN WARM CLIMATE
Penn Trainer Broken Down in Health After Hard Foot
 ball Campaign

Philadelphia, Dec. 19.-Mike Mur- phy, Pennsy's great trainer, who has been selected to accompany the Amer ican Olympic team as coach when 1t sails for Stockholm next June, is in such poor health that he will be compelled to spend the winter in a milder climate than the Eastern States. Mike will leave here for Cali fornia, Florida, Bermuda or some other winter resort within a few days. He has been in poor health for years and recently has suffered greatly from the return of an old throat and lung trouble.
 Though he did not complain, it is known that Murphy was in a bad physical condition during the football season. He was i'll on his return to Philadelphia from Ann Arbor, where the Penn-Michigan game was played. Mike stuck it out until after the Thanksgiving Day clash between Cor nell and Pennsylvania. He left Franklin Field that afternoon, and has been laid up since. The news of his illness has been kept a secret even from some of his closest friends Dr. Stengel made it known, however, that he had advised Murphy to spend the winter in a warmer climate.

 Hartford has signed shortstop named Freeman w. Crowther He is employed as cashier of a life insur. ance office in Hartford but has de- cided to take a chance upon the dia. mond. Last season the New York Giants were after Crowther, follow ing the good showing he made with the Winsted team. He declined to sign with them, however, but instead played a few games with Hartford under an assumed name. Manager Connery is making a desperate effort to be in the running next season and with himself on first, Baker at second, Moves on third and Crowther, short stop he thinks the infield problem is solved.
 That the Connecticut league may at some future time decide to enlarge it's circuit is indicated by the fact that Owner Cameron of New Haven wants to incorporate in the constitution a phrase which designates the organi- zation as ''six club league with a privilege of eight clubs" There is no question but that the fans would pre- fer an eight club league but it may be several years before two suitable cities can be secured.

NATIONAL BANKS WILL OPEN SATURDAY NIGHT

To accommodate the business men of Bridgeport and to afford a deposi- tory and relieve the merchants of the necessity of caring for their Christ mas eve receipts from Saturday night until Tuesday morning, all the nation al banks in the city will be. open to receive deposits from 9:30 until II o'clock Saturday evening. Christmas comes on Monday this year, and if the banks follow the regular schedule of business hours they would be closed from Saturday noon until Tuesday morning. &
 Saturday is the last business day preceding Christmas, and the receipts on Christmas eve arc generally the largest of the Christmas trade days. Hence merchants will appreciate the action of the banks in opening on Sat- urday night.

GRIFFITH STARTED AS
 PITCHER AT EARLY AGE
Home Folks Thought He Could NotMake Good But
 He Did

Clark Grfffith started his profession al baseball career when he was not yet
 IS years old. Griff or the ''Old Fox as
 he is faniIiarly called in baseball. was
 born at, Nevada, Mo. November 21,
 1869. Ss Like. most boys he played on the lots just as soon as he was able to handle a ball. When still quite Young Csriffith displayed ability as a pitcher though his physique was not of the knd warranting any great fu- ture for him. y-4-. k, When Griffith left home in 1887 to join the Bloomington. H., team. pre- dictions were made that he would not be away longer than to partake of a cup of coffee. but Griff fooled these critics. as he did most batsmen who
 kee Gn 1SSS,a and remained there until the close of the season in 1890.
 The following year the war broke out between the National league and American association and Griffith join ed Comiskeys famous St, Louis Browns. He remained there but half the season. when he was traded to
 Boston. which team won the pennant that year. When the association was forced to hoist the white flag Griffith went to the coast, where he pitched for various teams, for in those days
 baseball was not a prosperous propo- sition in the far west.
 
 member of the Oakland. Cal. team,
 and his work attracted the attention of Old Cap Anson of the Cftcagos, who secured him. Griffith proved the star pitcher of the Colts and remained a
 member of the team until 1900. Tn 1901 he jumped the, National league
 and became manager of the White Sox in the American league. His team won the pennant. {t At the close of the following year Griffith took the management of the New York Americans, where he con- tgnued to reign until the middle of the season of 1908. when he was let out. He assumed the management of the | CincinnatiF team during the seasons of 1909. 1s10oand 1911, and this fa'l be- came the manager of the Washington NatfonalSshin which club he also pur- chased asblock of stock.
 | AS a pitcher Griffith was a mystery | to most batsmen. He was one of | the smallest men. who ever made a | success of pitching Gn the major lea gues. He did not possess great speed, | but was master at the art of out guessing the batsman. One of his greatest feats during the closing day | of his career as pitcher was the fam | ming of Ty Cobb four times in a sim gle game when that renowned play
 CT was just breaking into fast com | pany. A Grlfnth as manager has had a
 .checkered career. He won the pennant | the first year he managed, and for
 several seasoIs was the runner-up with his New fork team. He rebuilt
 team in Cincinnati, but resigned there just when he seemed to have gathered about him a lot of players
 who are expected to form a team which is expected to be a factor in ! the next race.
 Since taking charge of the Washing ton team Griffith has cut out nearly all the players and has started out or l policy of trying to build up a yuung team.

Kaufman To Meet
 Fireman Jim Flynn

Al Kaufman is going to have a happy Christmas. Yesterday after noon the handsome heavyweight from the Coast heard the glad tiding that James Coffroth wanted him to battle Jim Flynn. When his manager Billy Roche, told Kaufman the news the latter dropped into a dead faint. Kaufman wants to fight Flynn as eagerly as jail-breaker wants a two days start. It was not many months ago that Kaufmn fddled with Flynn, only to receive slam on the classic chin that, made him initiate a pan cake.
 Kaufman will have a good trial for Mister Flynn. He has been signed up to battle Al Palzer at the National Sporting Club, New York, on Dec. 28 in a ten-round battle. Palzer is a sturdy, rough battler, able to punch and take a wallop. If Kaufman trims Palzer decisively he will be fit to eat Flynn up.

BIG LEAGUE GOSSIP

Fred Penney believes that the Bos- ton Nationals will cut more of fig ure in next seasons race than many persons suppose. we had the queer est tail end team I ever saw said Penney. There was only one pitch CT that faced us in several games last year that we didn't knock off the rubber. The single exception was big Matty. We cou d never seem to get to hfm. I believe I had the best scout in the country last year. He sent me six men and they all appear to have class enough for fast com pany.
 Jackson was passed over by most of the scouts because he did not bat heavily in the minors; but he acted like ballplayer, and when he came to use he blossomed into a sugger. Then there is young Kirke. I don't think I ever saw a man hit a ball as hard as he does He bats left handed, but he hits to left field half the time. Give him bali close in, and he'll all but break it. We have couple of young pitchers who will develop into good men this year, and strength in the box is all we need''
 Horace Fogel, the Phillies' president, if reports be true, is anxious to put a big deal through. He's at outs with Dooin, and hell trade him, too, for all he wants is Fucker or Cobb, or he'll give big Matty a longtime job, or accept Hans Wagner or any mob composed of Chase, Clarke, Meyers who can all find places, if reports be true, with Fogel if only his deal goes through.
 After perusing in the back files what Cincinnati fans have had to say about former managers we're willing to admit that Hank O1Day is a game guy. If ODay stays a year in Red town he should be eligible for the Vic toria Cross, the Legion of Honor, the Carnegie hero medal and the ribbon of the Ancient and Honorable Arnfca Association.
