Italian Anxious to

CHICAGO. Nov. Jimmy Murphy,
Chicago's ree-fngered gladiator, has
pugilistic designs on all the other Muir
phys in the ring. There ara too many
Murphys in the business" said this
particular Murphy in outlining his in
tentiOns,
There's Eddie Murphy, of Boston,
and Tommy Murphy. Of New York, and
Jerry Murphy, of Indianapolis, and a
handful of Bus, Mikes and Dicks all
over the country. | want to be the
only Murphy in my class. When I've
cleaned up all the others I'll have a
clear field for the rest of them"
Three fingered Jimmy's ambition will
start no iuternecine strife, owing to
the fact that the proud name he bears
Is no indication Of his native soil.
Jimmy is fun Of Italian blood. He has
distinguished himself in local circles by
a series of victories which have placed
him among the few real scrappers on
the map.
owing to his reputation as a hard
hitter most of the pugs he has select
ed as victims have sidestepped his Of
fers. He is now engaged in trying to
hook up battles with the three Murphys
mentioned.

MAN To FILL IN
At THIRD BASE
"Moose" Mccormick, However,
Expects Help From Either John
McGraw or Hugh Jennings.
X CHATTANOOGA, TENN, Nov. /.

y HATTANOOGA, TENN, Nov. !.
I Absolute assurance is felt To-
cally that Moose" Mccormick,
formerly pinch hitter extraordinary
of the New York Giants, will deliver
the 'kayo" to the Chattanooga man
managerial problem. but aside from
whatever aid the Moose" may sup
ply as a pilot, he has already sup
piled the local club with an asset
that can not be viewed with dispersion
by the most cynical critic-this is the
warm friendship Of Muggsy McGraw
and participation in the surplus ma
ter1al which is cut loose by the little
Napoleon each spring and which
Mique Finn has been corralling en-
masse up 20 date. What McGraw did
for the Gulls last season is matter
OF universal knowledge.
Reports from Memphis this fall are
to the effect that Finn will take a trip
to Marlin Springs this spring and
again secure the bulk of the surplus
Giant material, but these Statements
are not taken seriously here, as Nc
Cormick already has the assurance of
McGraw tht he will receive every
possible help.
About the only hole that McCor-
mick needs to plug, according to the
present outlook, is the one at third
base, which resulted from the recall
of Graft by the St. Louis Browns The
star third sacker has refused to re-
port to Oakland, to which place he
was sent along with Alexander, but 1t
is not thought at all probable that he
will return here, and strings are out
for another man, not. however, that
Graft would not be highly acceptable
if he were again offered by Hickey.
McGraw has two third baSemen
who are doing practically nothing but
bench duty in Herzog and Grant, but
1t is not thought probable that either
Of these will come to Chattanooga, as
1t would be impossible to pay them
the salaries demanded. Whether Nc
Graw has any further third base ma
terial on hand is not known at pres
ent.
Outside of the sack in question the
locals are even now fairly well pro
tected in every position, but, OF
course, in case the Giants could send
down man who would be an i'm
provement upon the one at present
intended for any certain location, a
change would be made.
With AcCOrmiCk in MCGraw's best
graces and with a working agreement
with the Detroit club still in force.
there is little worry locally about the
acquisition of Al material II needed

Of MONEY
MAY Be FINISH
Of WORLD TOUR
If Expenses Are Not Made in This
Country, Baseball Teams
May Disband.

n TEW YORK, Nov. THE Giants
" and White Sox-or, rather, the
two teams which are masque-
rading under those handles" for the
sake Of distinction, may not make the
much discussed tour of the world.
McGraw has not said so. nor has
Charley" Comiskey. It seems that
the trip may end at Vancouver.
When the itinerary was arranged
business acumen demanded that q
preliminary jaunt be made in this
country in an effort to make at least
enough money to cover the expenses.
If the expenses were not to be COW
cred before II was time TO leave this
country, there is every reason to be-
lieve the wind-up would produce a
deficit.
Since the trip was not arranged as
benefit for the players or to adver-
ttse the game alone, the logical rea-
soning has been advanced that unless
the attendances are greater than they
were in Cincinnati, where $500 per-
sons witnessed the games. and in Chi
cago on Sunday, when 1000 were on
hand, the trip will end at Vancouver,
which was to have been the last stop
before starting across the water.
In the smaller cities to be visited
the admission charge is not as great
and therefore the attendance must be
considerably larger to make any part
of an impression on the Golfers of
those who are financing the tour.
In the Philippines some money may
be picked up, but admission charges
in other countries are so small in
comparison with what is charged in
the major league cities here that 1t
is logical to believe that once this
country is left behind the picking will
not be very good
