Charles Bazoo Murphy, who doesn't
figure much in the papers these days, is
going to Ireland to look over prospective
twirlers, and will not be at the annual
meeting of the National League in New
York, December 9. He Is bit peeved
over the attitude of the Chicago papers
toward him. They have tired of his
bombastic utterances and refuse to
print his junk now.

Il see that Ban Johnson wants the
three leading teams to engage in
SERIES" says the Old Fox. Il don't
agree with that scheme, though L do
think those teams finishing second and
third should receive some reward
When you come down to it, the only
series that counts for anything is the
worlds series, played off by the two
winning teams. The public isn't inter
ested in any other series. Chicago sup
ports its city series, but that is the ex-
ception proving the truth of my state
ment. The fans want one series be-
tween the pennant winners. .--
However, the second and third
teams should be rewarded. 4 team
nosed out. for instance, by a pennant-
winner ought to get something. The
third place team, too, should be re-
warded. Frequently hard luck keeps
team from winning pennant and it
quits the season with nothing to show
for its good work
Il think a reward. say $4,000, should
be given to the second team and s., 0G0.
to the third team, to be divided among
the players. / don't know where this
money should come from, from the
league or out of the receipts of the
worlds series. Perhaps the worlds
series receipts would be able to spare
this amount best.
