SPRINGS NEW SCHEME
President Murphy Has Plan for
Training Ball Players.
Cub Magnate Says FulflIment OF His
Purpose Would Develop Many un-
known Stars-Would Revolu-
tionize Present Ideas.

Charles W Murphy, president OF the
Chicago Cubs. today IS SHINING IN
brand new role as an inventor. The
Cub chief divulged scheme which
may reyolutionize spring training trips
Of major baseball leagues. he mas
proposed the organization OF win
ter league" to train drafted and pur-
chased players for their debut in high
er society.
This league would be composed OF
towns in Florida where baseball can
be played the year around. The cir
cult will be composed OF eight towns
in Florida. The following places nave
been proposed for the new training
camps of the big League clubs: Key
West, Pensacola, Tampa, Miami, Or
mond, Palm Beach, st. Augustine and
Sarasota. ssE
These towns are winter resorts 10
which people of means flock when The
snow begins to fly in the northern
states. They are amply populated TO
give splendid support to teams schea-
uled for the proposed circuit.
President Murphy, in defining plans
for this winter league, said he would
recommend that it be composed OF
PLAYERS who had not been members OF
a major league club for more than
three months. All teams OF the Ma
tional and American leagues would be
eligible to send players drafted OF pur-
chased 10 these towns for the trying
out" process. It would do more to-
ward showing the real class OF play
er. he thinks, than training Trip
could possibly accomplish.
Thanksgiving, Christmas and New
Year could be reserved each season
for games with major league clubs,
the Cub chief thinks, and these games
would prove in time the leading sport
ing events of the winter calendar.
Advocates of substitute for the
present methods Of training the ia"
material for big league consumption
are increasing each year. Just now
many adherents OF this scheme Muir
ply can marshal for the movement is
doubtful.
The case of Charles Moore, an IN
fielder, who came as recruit from the
Pacific Coast league to the Cincinnati
club last spring, only illustrates the
Injustice of the present method" said
the Cub head.
Moore was with the Cincinnati
club just two days when he was re-
turned to the Los Angeles club. lie
proved a bright star on that club from
tho jump. Was no si~on a ehanoe to
,show what he had to deliver?
should say not The Cincinnati club
saw its mistake and wanted him back
this season.
They were too late. | had secured
the youngster through draft He will
be with the Cubs next season. II
there had been a winter league OF

istence last year, do you suppose
Moore would have been out on the
coast in 1911. ] think not. He Is
only one OF many players OF major
size VINO aren't given chance under
the present crude system in vogue foI

BITTER FIGHT ON
NJ NAMARA JUROR
Decision of Judge BOrdwell on
Bias Charge Is Anxious
ly Awaited.

Los ANGELES, cal. Oct IA
Further argument as to whether u. T.
Nelson should be sworn as juror in
the trial of James B. Mcnamara, in
dicted for the murder of Charles Hag
gerty a victim of the Times explosion
occupied a brief session of court to-
day.
On Monday Judge Walter Bordwel
will render d decision as to whether
or not bias or prejudice is contained
in Nelson's admissions on the stand
that he had formed certain opinions
concerning the blowing up of. the Times
building, which caused the death of &
score of men, and on which the indict-
ments for murder against James B.
Mcnamara and his brother, John j.,
are based.
attorney 6. Ray Horton conclude
the argument of the State that Nelson,
though admitting he held opinions
about the case, had shown his i'm
partiality by announcing that he would
waive these opinions in lieu of the
evidence introduced
Attorney Cyrus McNutt, of Indiana,
finished the discussion for the defense,
citing numerous cases where precon-
ceived Impressions admitted by tales
man had been regarded by the courts
as sufficient to disqualify him.
Nearly 800 witnesses, it is estimated,
will be sworn during the trial. More
than 200 were examined by the grand
jury which brought in the indictments,
and the defense alone expects to pru-
duce about $50.

White and Blue shields that decorate
the balconies of the stadium stand out
in conspicuous contrast to the more
sombre appearance of the multitudes
in the seats. The crowd in the grand
stand was remarkable for its absence of
the fairer sex. 1t Is probable that many
women who would otherwise attend the
opening game were kept away on ac-
count of the rush and crush. A fair
estimate of the women present would

Raise $3.50 on
Check.
SECURED BLANK FROM
LAUNDRYMAN BY RUSE
Youth COnfesses and Says He
D0sen't Care if He Gets
Twenty Years.

Earl G. Dare, 10 years old. son of a
c. A., is locked up in police headquar-
ters, charged with attempting to col
lect on a forged check on the Manu-
facturers' National Bank, over the
name of Allen E. Unger, for $3.50.
Reckless and desperate, he made a
complete confession to Captain Carroll
and Detective Sergeants Fohs, Dono-
van and Meehan, who had captured
him, saying that he attempted to raise
the money because he was hard up,
and added that he didn't care if he got
a twenty-year sentence.
A romance is back of the story, the
police believe, for with the four checks
found in his possession was tefe-
gram to a girl in Connecticut making
an appointment to meet her tomorrow.
1t is thought by the police that he
wanted the money to hire an auto in

had been away from home, at Ledge
wood, Morris county, for only a month,
and had letter from his father, a
Ledgewood minister of recent date.

name to it. He sent 1t to the bank by
youth whom he had never seen before
and the check was Immediately sus-
pected.
The paying teller asked the lad who
had given him the check and Dare was
decoyed into the bank on a pretext
The detectives were summoned in the
meantime and Dare was arrested.
The evidence against Dare consists
of four checks besides the one he tried
to cash. the note to Mr.. Unger. asking
for the blank check and a note to the
bank, asking for large bills for the
check.
Dare also had copy of the follow
ing telegram to Miss r. NJ Wolfe of
