FOGEL ONLY THE GOAT NEW RULES FOR RIDERS
W. G. Forman Says Murphy Is
Man Behind the "Story."

Chicago, Nov. 26.-Undcr the caption
w. c. Forman sporting editor Of The
Chicago Evening Post" IN a signed
statement. to-day charges Charles W.
Murphy. president Of the Chicago Ma
tional League baseball club, with being
the instigator Of the STORY" which re-
suited in charges being preferred against
Fogel.
Mr.. Forman is in New York prepared
TO testify before the league meeting. The
"Fogel story" attacking President
Lynch and his umpire system, recently
appeared in THE Post" Regarding 1t
Mr.. Forman says:
Charles w. Murphy authorized me TO
tell Fogel that Murphy had suggested
writing the story. On this representation
Foge wrote II and signed 1t. He sent it
to Murphy, who read 1t before ever saw
It. 1t came to me from Murphy's office.
and il Murphy had not approved that
story it never would have been pub
lished. The man who is morally respon-
sible for that article and the charges II
contained Is Murphy himself, and | have
Fogel's own word for it that he wrote
1t simply to help Murphy fight his battles
in the National League"
The Forman statement, in addition,
says:
1T is not the first time Murphy has
made Fogel the goat. Previously MUIR
ply had sent me another article, signed
by Fogel. and told me Foge had written
it, and wanted it published. 1t was print
ed In The Evening Post on the under
standing that Fogel was the author of It,.
Months afterward I learned that Murphy
himself had written II. and Fogel had
merely signed it because he was requested
to do so by the Cubs president II was q
defence Of Murphy, who had been crtl-
cisod in a syndicate article sent out by a
Chicago baseball writer. We told Murphy
to send 1t over and, If possible, we would
use II.
1T was typewriter, but signed in ink
by Fogel. and contained lavish praise for
Murphy and his 'meteorlc rise in base
ball We published 1t under the belief
that Murphy was telling the truth when
he said Fogel wrote It."
Regarding the later "Fogel story" For
man says:
'One day, when the Cubs were playing
in Philadelphia, a Chicago newspaper car
ried a dispatch quoting Horace Fogel as
suggesting All important change in the
system of picking umpires for the world $
series He wanted the president OF one
league 10 select the arbitrators from the
rival league and vice versa. In the
course of this interview Fogel charged
that the New York Giants had been get
ting the best Of the umpiring all year.
II called him by phone and asked him
II he had read the interview
Yes, and it is very interesting. he
replied.
II reminded him that FogeI had written
one story for US. and added We'd like
to have a detailed statement from FogeI
on this umpiring charge, If he will sign
it,
Well said Murphy, YOU write 10
Fogel and tell him that suggested that
he write it pe will do It IL you tell him

Less Chance to "StaII" in Six
Day Bicycle Race.

The siX-day bicycle race will be harder
than ever this year. Through various
changes that have been made in the rules
governing the contests there will he a.
hours Of riding and no time taken out for
accidents 10 riders or wheels and riders
who stall for rest when the going is
hard aud they arc tired will be penalized
for every lap they lose while of the
track
This is not done with the intention OF
making the race brutal. but to make II
fdlr Tor all or the contestants. In years
past riders have purposely fixed wheels or
tires so that 1t was necessary to leave
the track for repairs. and while these
were being made they would take a COM
Portable rest while the others were still
riding. In many instances riders have in
tentionally fallen In order to get a rest.
To make this sort of thing impossible
the rules have been so altered that when
team Is of the track for more than
ten laps for any cause whatever they will
lose every lap covered by the other riders
III lIdl llInc.
Another rule that will improve this
years contest Is in reference to riders
who are in front blocking those who NAV
want to come from the rear and set the
pace. In all Of the past grinds around
the Garden saucer there have been riders
known as strong pluggers." whose only
chance of winning the contest WAS through
wearing down the weaker ones. For
their mutual protection the weaker riders
formed a "blockadng squadron" and
through a perfect signal service were
warned when plugger Jumped TO the
front. Immediately on receiving the tip
they would spread across the track, and
the plugger would be compelled to drop
back to the rear again.
A rule that will prevent many accidents
and help the scorers and officials to keep
track of the teams during the jams is I'm
regard to plck-ups. This year all pick
ups must be made on tIe pole and not
from the top Of the track. Other new
rules are in reference to riders wearing
their colors at all times and leaving the
track without permission of the referee.
Leaving the track and getting permis-
sion afterward will not he tolerated The
word must come from the referee first
this year The rule in reference to block
aiding will greatly enhance the chances
Of the foreign riders in the race this
year.
