MURPHY OPPOSED
TO CUBS GETTING

Boss Says Dissension
Created When Players Are
Consulted on Subject.

ObV~s - A~O S'SuAn8 vWAoJ
Chicago Oct. J.
TORE than a half dozen times this
w year stories have emanated from
" different big league cities that
star members Of the Cubs were being
besseched by team owners with offers of
managerial berths. The Cubs who were
approached regarding such positions
were Joseph Tinker, James S~heckard
and John Evers. There has beer more
talk regarding this trio coming from
andnnau than from any other point.
The star players on every team in both
the American and National Leagues
have had slluring bats hung up before
them.
President Charles Webb Murphy rea-
LEES this creates dissension In any win

future DO everything he can to put 4
stop to the practice.

East Coast Shippers
Benefit Most BY
Rate Reduction

On last Saturday the Interstat"
Commerce Commission rendered an
opinion at Washington favorable to
the Florida Fruit and Vegetable
Shippers Association against the AT
lantic Coast Line and also the rail
road commission of Florida against
the Seaboard Air Line.
This is one Of the most important
decisions made for some time by the
commission. The commission intend
ed to reduce the rates from all Flor
ida points on vegetables and citrus
fruits, but the decision provides only
one base, Jacksonville, and will in
trease the mileage of the West Coast,
thus providing a joker for that Sec
ton of the State.
A representative of The Metropo-
lis had an interview with J. c. Case,
secretary of the Florida Fruit and
Vegetable Shippers Association who
brought the suit in behalf of his Or
,anization.
