MURPHY HAS NEW PLAN.
Chicago Cubs Chief Will Reform Sys-
tenn of Training New Players.

President Charley Murphy of the
Chicago Nationals has some criticism
to make of the spring training meth
DDS. for he thinks they could be I'M
proved upon, and intends to start out
on the reforming lay himself within
a season or two.
81 never realized until a short time
ago that managers Of big league base
ball clubs haven't enough time or op-
p%ortunity under present arrangements
to look over their new players and
decide whether they will be good ma
terial or otherwise" says Murphy.
Hereafter recruits will be sent away
at least a month sooner than the regu-
lars, so that the club may form some
idea of what to do with them. 1t
takes at least a month to see enough
of a player to pass Judgment on him.
The time is coming when all the major
league clubs will take this view Of 1t,
and when they do it will prove a big
help to baseball. Recruits will be
given a better chance TO make good,
and more players will be brought out
each season."
