Danny Murphy Captain Of Athletics
Connie Mack Picks His Rightfeld Star Lead u Champions-Deserved Honor For His Long Service and Invaluable Support Given the Team, Says Connie.

direct from a conference with Manager Connie Mack of the Philade' phia Americans. during which this quiet and unassuming, but exceedingly pop ular Norwich baseball player had been offered and had accepted the captaincy of the worlds champions. As cap tain. Murphy succeeds Harry Davis. who goes next year to manage the Cleveland team of the American league
 Murphy's new honors come as the well deserved reward of nine years of service with the Philadelphia team, in all of which he has proved his sterling worth to the club in every department of play, but nowhere more impres- sively than with his bat in the last two seasons. Last year it was his terrific and timely clouts that did much to win the worlds championship for the Ath- letics, and this year his seasons aver age Of 1928 makes 1911 his top-liner.
 Danny said Friday night upon his return here that the announcement of his selection as captain would proba- bly, have been ready for the teams banquet in Philadelphia Thursday by illness in the family from attend ing the banquet But the rest of the team evidently had an inlxling of what was coming, for they kept slapping all the evening. At the banquet Mur- phy received an urgent message from Connie to see him Friday morning.
 They met at II o'clock, when Connie
 
 only man he had in mind for the place, and that the honor was due him for his long service and for the invaluable support he had been to the team.
 He proffered him the captafncy. and Dan accepted The salary was liked up at a nice advance over what Mur- phy has been receiving as right fielder. While Murphy did not care to state what the salary was, he admitted that $5,000 would not be a bad guess. Dan is the oloest member Of the regular team in point of service, and has made . name for himself in two positions on the team. second base and right field, while no more dreaded hitter to face the pitchers is playing on the Ameri- can league teams today. Lis host of Norwich friends will be more than proud of this new honor that is his.
 In Connie Mack's talk with Dan Ina made it plain that the Norwich man was the only player on the team he had considered as possibility for captain Some of the Philadelphia sporting writers went barking off on the wrong trail, predicting that Eddie Collins would be the choice, but Connie Mack kept his plans to himself until he was ready to announce his choice.

Jackson stani Bliss at guard. Elliott at tackle and Croker's sub at end who will be opposed respectively to Mccarthy Schwartz and Captain Costello of Bllkeley. Schwartz has the reputa- tion of being the best man in the Bulkeley line
 BuIl>eiey Fears Mccormick.
 One star in the game stands head and shoulders above anything that will be on the field. This is right halfback Mccormick of the Academy, whom Bulkeley fears like the plague He tore the confident BulkeIey team to small bits last season in the final game in New London and they know he can do it again. In the backfie1d with him are Coughlin at the other half, Swan at quarter, and Ricketts at full; their team work is great and they have a powerful system of interSer- ence worked out which gives protec- tion to any man in the squad who is carrying the ball, while they have treasured up a nice lot of modern football plays that are calculated to turn the tables on Bulkeley at any moment
 If Bulkeley wins, they will do so because they have the better team, but nobody here believes they have the stuff in them to do it.
 Manager Haviland will have the team go down on the 12.45 New Lon don trolley and will endeavor to have the company put on an extra on that trip to accommodate the students who will want to accompany the squad.

T will place Ty Cobb in centerfield. He is first class at everything. Nobody can say more for a ball player. He has the ambition to try to beat every rec ord in sight and is making good.

Ac- cording to the census bureau the Ameri can mills had in stock at the first of January 254,S66 bales less than at the same time last year. It Is hardly probable that there will be enough curtailment to represent the consumption of 254,S66 bales. The American mills have been buying from hand to mouth for some time, and this means that they will con tinue this sort of buying for the rest of the season. England has been an eager buyer. and England is still buying free ly.

 The anti-option bill is up again in the Tennessee legislature. Tennessee and Louisiana are about the only southern states that have not passed laws against dealing in futures. These two states. however, have taken a broader view of the matter than have some others. If Tennessee should pass thio law 1t would shut off Memphis, which has always traded in more cotton and wheat than any other city of it's size in the United States.

AN UNFOUGHT DUEL
How the Father of His Country z, Avenged Blow

From H. A. Ogdens 'Washington's Ten
 Narrow Escapes" in March St. Nicho-
 las. .t 4
 It is narrated that on one occasion in his early manhood Washington came very near the settlement of dispute, so common in those days by fighting a duel. But as he was the one who should have issued the challenge, he had the still greater courage to apologize and admit that he was in the wrong.
 It was in the town of Alexandria. Where the young Virginia colonel was ,quartered with his troops, that an cleo ton dispute occurred, and in the heat of the party excitement Washington told a Mr. Payne that he lied. That gentleman at once replied with blow that knocked the young colonel down. Word having reached the barracks that their beloved commander had been killed, his soldiers rushed to the city to avenge him. He met them, however, quieted them, and they returned to- their quarters
 MT. Payne, on receiving a note from Washington the next morning asking him to call at his lodgings, supposed it was,. Of course, to give the colonel opportunity to demand satisfaction for the blow he had received, the day before Imagine his surprise when, instead of finding pistols passwords ready for a duel, Washington greeted him with outstretched hand, say- ing 1T believe I was wrong yesterday. You have already had some satisfaction. and, if you deem that sufficient, hero . my hand; let us be friends!''

MAN THE, MASTER
Some of the Mature Giants" That
 Man Has Conquered < j

Raymond Perry in March St. Nicholas.
 Many centuries ago mans achieve ments were limited by the strength of his make the forces of nature work for him. He knew that these forces existed. The wind, the rain, the lightning, all seemed to him the acts of great giants of the earth and sky-or even strange, powerful gods whom he wcrshiped through fear. When the wind waited his bark safely to port, or the rain gave abundant crops, he was grateful to these great giants for their aid; but when his ship was wrecked or his crops failed for lack of rain he sought to appease their anger with sac rfices upon his rude altar. s '
 Ages passed before man learned that these forces were as willing to work for as against him, if only he could learn the secrets of control f
 The history of tho world is largely the story of how man has obtained increasing mastery over these nature giants and used their powers in the tasks of prog ress. 9sss ss.
 Wind is the first nature giant that man tanned to his use. Probably, from seeing tree swayed by this mighty power came, at last, to reason that if the tree was aboard boat, the boat would move in the direction of the wind; so he made mast from a tree-trunk, and rigged up some rude sail from skins of animals. to take the place of leaves. and found that he could go much faster. and farther than with his paddle alone. Gradually, then, he learned ealso,. by ,paeans of tack ing to sail in any desired direction. no matter which way the wind blew. Thus he had discovered the principle used by every sailing vessel s.nce.. Later, he de- vised the windmill for grinding grain and drawing water. A balloonist, by going higher or lower. can likewise find cur rent of air that will take him in almost any direction and men have traveled thousands of miles by this means. The kite also makes use of the wind power and has suggested the aeroplane which man has now made possible through later discoveries. The vacuum cleaner is an other way in which the power of air in motion is used.
 As, yet, man cannot perfectly control the wind giant. for cyclones sometimes do great damage on land and sea; but even this occasioned danger may yet be sub- dued. 'st.f-e i.s,Te s-e5

From the National Monthly.
 A number of travelling men were sit ting in the hotel lobby relating experi- ences and telling stories. Theconversa- tion drifted to great inventions and the great men who had made them.
 One told what Fulton had done, an- other how much the world had been benefited by Benjamin Franklin. an- other was lauding the inventors of the reaper. the threshing machine and au tomobile. Still another spoke of the telephone, wireless telegraphy and the phenomenal minds of such men as Edi- son, Tesla and Marconi.
 After the praises of the various in .ventors had been sung and the enthu- siasm began to subside. Hebrew, who was sitting little to one side, and who up to this time had taken no part in the conversation, spoke up and said: "The man who invented interest was no slouch either"

Sydney, February 25.-(SpeciaL)-- Senator the honorable c. F. Pearce, minister of defense in the federal cab met, has paid a visit to the oilfields of New South Wales. He was greatly struck with the possibilities for devel- oqment and expressed the view that in few yaars time the output would oe such as to enable this state to supply the oil fuel needed for the destroyers and other vessels of the Australian navy. The bounty on oil production offered by the federal government would no doubt stimulate the industry.
