Murphy. president of the Chicago
Cubs, in "a signed statement made
public here today.
Continuing, Murphy declared that
the popularity or unpopularity of n
manager or owner does not count in
the success of a club, as everything
depended on a winning team. He in
timated that his club had been re-
organized because some Of the play
ers were going stale with age.

Murphy insisted that baseball clubs
want fewer superintendents crittcising
from the bench, and more enthus-
iastic, quick thinking players He al
luded to Chance. when he said that
the time to remove a player Is before
a game has been thrown away, and
not after the game is over and lost.
McGraw. he added, saved many a
game by his quick wit. in removing
a weakening pitcher at the right mo-
ment.
My enthusiasm, however" contin-
ued the Chicago owner, ts pretty
much confined to those men who can
play the game. and not to those who
wish to darw pay for telling others
how to do it
He wound UP by saying that his
1913 club would be good for a bat
ting average Of 800 barring the pitch
ers, and that the lovers of the game
who are now deploring the loss of old
favorites would be the first to cheer
the reiuvenated organtZation.
Ed Walsh. the great White Sox
pitcher, is real iron man. The
records show that he took part In "
games last year. He was called upon
eighteen times to relieve his fellow
slabmen, was taken out of the box ten
times and won twenty-seven out OF
forty-four games. Walsh pitched 39S
innings. His opponents went to the
bat 1887 times, scored 125 runs and
made 332 hits He struck out 20 4
men. gave "a bases on balls and hit
two batters. Ten wild pitches and
five balks were recorded against him.

those coming from conditions not

FREIGHT RATE RAISES
WILL BE SUSPENDED
Commerce Commission to ACT IN Case
Of Increases by the Eastern
Railroads.
ACTION PENDING AN INQUIRY

There will be no immediate relief from
the Interstate Commerce Commission for
the Eastern railroads in the matter of
increased freight rates. 1t became known
yesterday thRt the commission has de-
cided to suspend all the proposed in
creases in freight rates recently filed
by the railroads in the territory east
Of the Mississippi and north Of the Po-
tomac and Ohio Rivers. The order of
suspension is being prepared and will be
promulgated next week.
The so-cailed per cent horizontal in
creases in freight rates that have been
filed were to have become effective No
vember 10, but the decision Of the COM
mission means that all OF these schedules
will be held in abeyance until the COM
mission can take testimony and hold
hearings on the proposed Increases. This
decision by the commission foreshadows
one of the most comprehensive investi-
cations ever undertaken by it in con-
nection with freight rates.
The commissions experts have been
busy ever since the schedules OF in
creased rates were filed comparing the
proposed advances with the old rates
II is asserted the commission has dis
covered that while the plan OF the rail-
roads was for a per cent increase, the
effect of the tariffs filed has, in many in
stances. been to make larger increases.
Many increases, II Is asserted, amount
to as much as 40 per cent. 1t is under
stood that the result of this comparison
Of the new schedules with the old was
what influenced the commission TO sus-
pend all OF the tariffs and enter upon
a general hearing.
