league club. had left the city at the
time of the arrival of the Chicago dis
patch in which Charles w. Murphy,
president of the Chicago club, was
quoted in criticism of B~rcsnahan's re-
ported interest in a world tour of the
New York Giants and all-American
league stars. Bresnahan's connection
with h plan is said here to be only
In a way of prospective manager of
the All-American team.
In baseball circles Mr.. Murphy's
declaration that the New York team
would not win the National league
pennant without undue assistance
from other teams was read with sur
prise. 1t was pointed u that Bres-
nahan's cub had been playing the
fastest kind of bail against the Giants,
having won five out of the seven re-
cent games between the two clubs.
1t is understood here that the world
tour, for which a managing company
was Incorporated at Albany last week.
will be undertaken regardless of
whether the Giants win either the
league or the worlds pennant.

TO BEAT
CUBS IS CHARGE
Frameup to give Giants First

Allegation.

Chicago, Aug. lin a statement
issued today. Charles w. Murphy.
president of the Chicago club in the
National league. charged that the New
York team would not win the National
league pennant "without undue assist
ance from other teams"
The statement was issued in regard
to a dispatch. sent from New York
Saturday, which stated that Roger
Bresnahan, manager of the st. Louis
club in the National league. was in
terested in a world tour planned for
the New York club providing the
Giants" won the championship:
In his statement. Mr.. Murphy says
in. part:
Il am surprised to see Bresnahan's
name connected with such an enter
prise. 1t looked like a simple and
harmless plan TO puck up a little easy
money, and, so far as l know, there
had been no opposition against it.
But when they incorporate, become
a stock selling possibility. and use the
name of such mon as B~rcsnahan-
manager of a team that IAN help us
or hurt us a whole lot in the present
pennant race-thc matter takes on an
cntlTely dlIlefent dSpcct.
a a matter of fact, the Giants
haven't won the race, and l don't
think they will win it-without the
undue assistance from other teams.
Il want to see rhe Cardinals PLAY
the game against the Giants and play
it right up to the hilt. | can hardly
believe that Bresnahan would ALLOW
himself to he drawn into a financial
scheme whose success might depend
upon his own team losing and a rival
team winning 1t Is contrary to all
traditions of baseball.
The race in III. National league
must be run out strictly on its merits.
Not even a suspicion can be permitted
TO creep into the situation right now

The philosopher, however. with a
bit of leisure to lean over the fence
and watch the other fellow work, finds
plenty of romance about the scene. The
birds caroling 8 forth their joy at this
season of eternal renewal of life, ami
mate and inanimate. The sun battles
the world in a radiance that sets all
the earth aglow without scorching.
The renew al fertility of the earth,

II We should rummage among the ole
tablets which they are digging up in
Babylonia, dating back 10000 years
before Christ, we would probably find
that some of them contained scientific
treatises on seed time and harvest,
handed down from the fathers of a
still more hazy antiquity.
Somewhere back in history dawn,
some half human creature discovered
that if instead of devouring the nuts
and fruits and grains which he found
ready-made for his use, he should drop
them in the earth. they would be re
produced a hundred fold, and serve
him through seasons when earth's fer
tility is for the time being suspended.

The first game Of the season was
