MURPHY PLAYED
FOR CRITICISM
BY FRANK CHANCE
Owner Of Cubs Called Liar and
migrate by Peerless
Leader.
NO GROUND FOR CHANGES

New York. Sept. S-Angered by the
| charges of President Charles Webb
Murphy. of the Chicago Cubs. that the
team had failed to win the worlds S
| championship in 1909 because its men,
bers were addicted to drinking. Frank
L. Chance, the p,anager-captain, this
afternoon hayed Murphy for his cr!ti-
cism.
Chance recently underwent an oper-
alton on his head, but was well enuogh
| to-day to rake his chief fore and aft
Il want to say that the only time Muir
ply thinks much of his team is when
We are winning worlds championships"
he said. THE trouble with Murphy is
that he does not like his team except
when they are winning He is trying
to hurt not only the team, but the in
dividual players as well by making them
look like a lot of tramps to the public.
He's an Migrate.
IF President Murphy or any one else
says that my team lost the pennant in
1900 through drink. he is an migrate and
a liar.
IF any one ever says that the Cubs
lost a pennant because of that reason
he is a liar. Murphy included.
I believe l have the best team in
either league. Take collection of
twenty-five men from any walk of life,
ball players. business and even minis
tiers. and keep them together for eight
months of the twelve. and some will be
sure to break strict training rules.
1T is true that most of my players
IKE a glass of beer after the game. il
1t beneficial and not harmful, and bet
ter then water for them. But 1 know
there is no drinking among my men be-
fore games or between double-headers.
Cigarettes Barred.
Murphy or anybody else can't force
me personally to sign a contract with
an anti-drink or an anti-smoking clause.
The other men of my team may do as
they like in this regard. l have MADE
II rule that none of my pitchers shall
smoke cigarettes during the playing sea-
son.
And further Chance added. Il
know that the men live up 10 this rule
do not believe in smoking cigarettes,
but II ball players cannot sit down after
a meal and smoke a cigar or cigarette
II desired / don't know what ball play
ers are coming to.
Murphy is sore because we lost the
pennant this year and he wants to raspi
somebody. but let me tell you he is not
going TO raSp me. No team whose men,
bers dissipated could have won a PEN
nant for four years and second place for
three

NO LET Up FOR
YALE CANDIDATES
Situation Is Regarded as Critical by
Old Eli Coaches. Hence the
Stiff Workout,

New Haven, Conn, Sept es-Yale foot.
ball coaches made no secret to-day OF
the fact that they regard the situation
as critical. They ordered the squad
through the longest and most grinding
practice of the season, despite the Cruel
lInG game with Wesleyan yesterday, and
the impe nding Holy Cross bout of next
saturday.
No shake-up was ordered, for the
strongest players on the squad have been
already recruited. but six elevens were
formed for the signal drill and before
practice closed practically every one in
uniform had been through plenty of work.
Every player was ordered out for duty,
even Bomeister. whose shoulder is weak,
and Walter Camp. jr., who has not Yet
regained his weight since his recent ILL
ness.
Bomeister was assigned sentinel duty
on the second eleven. and was kept in
the practice half an hour. Camp prac-
ticed drop kicking and logged around the
tleld for conditioning purposes.

The Independent, Silver City, New
Mexico, Oct, /; After brave struggle
! for life against tremendous odds, dur
ing which every available human skill
was brought to her aid, Miss Norma

beyond at II 80 Saturday afternoon.
Miss Norma was taken i'll on the eve
Of her departure to attend the Wheaton

to have been accompanied by her pa
rents. On the day set for her depart
ure she WAS ill, The next day she was
suffering so terribly that an operation
was decided upon. Following the OPP
Grafton she showed marked improve
ment, and ut one time she was consid
cred almost ont Of danger. Then it was
discovered that typhoid fever had set
in. Everything possible was done for
her without avail and after an illness
of almost three weeks the brave spirit
took its flight
Norma Louise Jones was Il native of
Silver City, having been born here on
the 2ith day of June, 1895, and was
therefore II years, 3 months and 4 days

of which Miss Jones was devout mem
Der.
The beautiful white satin couch cas-
ket reposed in bank of flowers com
posed of dozens of elaborate floral offer
ings sent by sorrowing friends. These
required Il seperate automobile to con
vey them to the cemetry. The funeral
cortege was one of the longest ever
seen in Silver City. During the hours
of the funeral all the business places
in the city were closed out OF respect to
the departed girls memory.
Miss Norma Jones will be kindly
remembered in Mineral Point, having
two years ago visited here with her
cousins Misses Helen and Grace We'll.
