Murphy Not Gaining Admirers
GOSSIP OF THE GAME

pieces Murphy demanded results instanter
and was not shrewd enough in baseball
affairs to see that a team-a pennant
winning team-must be built from the
bottom up and that it takes time to do. it
When McGraw's Giants crumbled in
his hands the late Mr.. Brush had conf
dence enough in his manager TO wait
patiently for him to rebuild his team.
Connie Mack had the same experience.
Chance is a great manager and it is
predicted that he will do wonders with
the Yankees, Charles W Murphy to the
contrary Notwithstanding.
The sporting editor of the Chattanooga
Times thinks well of Baron prospects
for 1918. He writes:
Birmingham has perhaps the best filled
roster of any team in the league. Four
of last years pitching staff-Boyd, Hard
grove Foxen and Prough-will return.
Dilger is behind the bat with yonngstef
named Mayer, who is said TO be corker.
McGilvray, Marcan and F,llam of the in
field will be in their old positions and
Mcbride and Messenger will adorn the
outfeld.
This leaves Manager Molesworth with
only an outfielder, third sacker and one
more pitcher to corral to complete his
team OF course, when the -absentees are
found to be young Smith. the star pitcher,
and Jimmy Johnston, now with the White
Sox. and the almighty Almeda, who will
start with the Reds, the observer must
calculate that there is a big hole but
at the same time eleven tried athletes
are most certainly great nucleus with
which to start a bush league season.

RAPID PRODUCTION
OF IRON AND STEEL
Consumption and Produc-

WEAKNESS IN PIG IRON
Less Buying in Unfinished Material.

Carefully
WEAKNESS IN PIG IRON

New York, January 22-(Special.)-T
Iron Age will say tomorrow:
Consumption of iron and steel is undi-
minished and production continues at the
maximum rate. There is less new buying,
both of pig iron and finished material.
Consumers in all lines are disposed to
move carefully, since the trade has
passed the period in which buying is
stimulated by the expectation of higher
p,ices.
Naturally, when prices cease to advance
the reverse tendency is looked for. but in
finished material any such development
so far as contract prices are concerned
is not looked for for some months. 1t is
still true of a number of large steel com
panies that specifications are exceeding
output. The slowing down in pig iron has
developed some weakness, but as always
when the immediate future of that market
is in doubt, concessions do not make, but
rather cut off, business. In southern iron
the range of prices for first quarter is
still s13 50d14 at furnace for No. 2 foun-
dry.
Some producers are more disposed to
make sales abroad, the inquiry from Medt-
terranean countries being considerable.
Our English cable notes a weaker mar
ket for Cleveland pig iron, with reports
of the offering of southern iron at Man
chester. Heavy specifying by railroads
is still a marked feature in the Chicago
district. Rail orders are likely to fall off,
as most of the mills entered the year with
seven or eight months business on their

vania, which bids go in February a.

and old material are universally attrib-
ured to uncertain feeling as to the course
TO be pursued by the new administra ton

but there Is nothing alarming in the pres

and fewer superintendents eriticising from

able statement that the popularity or
unpopularity of an owner or manager
was not a factor in the success of a

Wonder if there Is any quicker thinker
or more enthusiastic manager in the busi-

How about John McGraw, who has not
been on the field as a player in SO many
years that the present generation of fans
cannot recall it?
Both of these are bench managers. And
the most successful in the business.
Clarke Griffith, the wizard of the SEN

The next statement that the popularity
or unpopularity of the manager does not

1t is fact Murphy will discover to his
sorrow before the season of 1913 has
