MCMILLAN GOES BACK.
Farrell Sends Shortstop to Rochester
and Gets Martin.

New York, Dec. 3.-President Frank
Farrell, Of the New York Americans, has
released Shortstop Tommy Mcmillan to
Rochester, of the International League.
In return the Hilltoppers get Jack Mar
tin. who played here the greater part Of
1912. and who went to Rochester in part
payment for Mcmillan. To-day's deal
was virtually a swap, though occasioned
by a slight misunderstanding between
Frank Farrell and President Chaplin, OF
the bronchOs.
and considerable cash for Mcmillan. 1t
was over the money consideration that
difficulty arose. Chaplin claimed he had
been promised $500 boot; Farrell said
the sum WAS to have been only $4,000. The
r:agnates finally compromised by calling
off ali bets. Martin returns and little
Tommy departs.

Dufey Praises Murphy.

Every one will be sorry to learn of the
passing of Mike Murphy" says Arthur
Duffey in the Boston Post. Mike was a
great coach. In fact. / doubt if he ever
had an equal. He was a great student of
human nature and knew an athletes
strong points and failings intuHively.
There was no chance for the sweIl-headed
chap or the gutter with Mike.
Personally it was my lot when a col
lege athlete to be always pitted against
Mike or one of his champions. But Mike
was great in victory or defeat.
Il recall a little incident that happened
at the A. A. l.. championships at River
side, back in 1900 when happened to be
a starter for the national sprint cham
pionship. Mike was coaching Bernie
Wefers and KraenzIein for the dash. He
thought they were going to win. Before
the race he came up to me. and he said ::
Kid, l am going to beat you to-day.
''Kraenz' and Bernie" are running like
the wind. You will have to beat 9 As
seconds to trim them
"a All right l said to Mike. If they
can do that time they certainly must be
flying, but they will have to show me-
THE race was finally held. 1t was a
co:ker. Al the 50-yard mark I was
leading by half a yard. Behind me l
could hear the, heavy crunch on the Gin
ders of the Mercury Foot representatives
at my heels. 1t urged me on Neck and
neck we raced the last half of the dis
lance, but in the final burst I managed
10 gain a scant lead.
The best part Of it all was after the
race. One of the first to come over and
grab me by the hand was none other than
the veteran Mike.
You ran a great race, Kid he said
4 thought we could get your goat, but
you beat US fair and square. You de-
served to win. l hope you will win many
more races w.
This was only one of the little traits
of the great coach. Mike was a good
fellow above all. 1t win be many a day
before We will see his equal"

Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. S0-"Speed-we've

Clarke said when the Pirate manager was
here a fortnight ago and that is the ex-
PLANTATION of Mike Donlin's quitting the
Pirate camp and going with the Phillies.
That Is one reason. The other is, Artie
Holman is coming back. Artie gives the
information himself in a letter to Clarke.
Last season Mike Donlin batted ans in
