Charles Z. Wolfe, one of the best

Wolfe is one of the local cracks, and
has featured in interclty matches in

with Willie Hoppe when that worthy

MURPHY ATTACKS
FEDERAL LEAGUE

CHICAGO. Dec. 26.-ChaTles Webb
Murphy, owner of the Cubs, is the first
major league magnate to openly attack
the Federal League movement. Murphy
says that he has been carrying on a
private investigation of the so-called
outlaws status and that he is in a posi-
tion to say that the whole thing is
a bubble.
IF any organized league player is
foolish enough to sign with the Fed
erals" says Murphy, TIL wager 5000
that he will not remain with the organ
ization one day after the season opens
If il really does open. The story that
$500 has been offered to Tinker for
three years by the Chicago Federals is
a scream when 1t is knOwn that the
latter club is practically homeless and
must spend at least that sun to build a
suitable ball park.
Cleveland has no grounds, and there
is no real backing for Federal League
clubs In Baltimore or Buffalo. The sale
of the Indianapolis American Associa-
ton club to McGill, Smith and Hend-
ricks means the early death Of the Fed
erals in that city. The Pittsburgh Fed
erals lost $4,000 last year. and are try
ing now to find new hackers. IT Will not
surprise me If the whole scheme is
abandoned before the first of March.

Outside of Hamilton. the other lett

Tyler, of the Braves; Pierce, OF fhe

Cubs. who came from the Kansas City

The Washington Amateur Association
football team will dispute the game
awarded to the Sons of st. George
Christmas Day, played at the Rosedale
Fairgrounds, which lasted but twenty
minutes.
The Baltimore referee. not a league
official, it is learned today, forced the
players on the field, and with the score
to o in favor of the Baltimore team,
called off the game on account of the
fact that the field was in no condition
to play.
Baltimore had eleven men and the
Washington contingent could muster
but seven regulars. Two subs were
pressed into service, and nine Washing
ton men played against the eleven Bal
timore players The Washington team
intends to dispute the decision.
Baltimore scored four goals, the local
goalkeeper, Sted-nan, having no chance
to defend, as he was forced to stand IN
a pool of water ten inches deep. The
winning team was awarded two points
for the rather hollow victory.

Here's poser.
There are many followers Of athletics
who have seen records broken year

belief that the marks turned IN are 50
low that they will stand for a long time.
To this class 1t comes as quite

Is a possibility that he may nave u

are made to be broken, but Il Is seldom
that so many have gone by the poaras

Send it to Ban.
Fan Johnson wants a penalty innicted
on pitchers for giving intentionai oases
on balls, and IL you have good sug-
gestion let the American League presi-
dent know cf il. There are hundreds
and thousands of fans who have sug-
sestions to offer as TO the proper
method of penalizing pitcher for pass
ing a batter in a pinch to take a chance
on a weaker hitter. Ban says he is
stumped, and that the game should be
bettered with a change in this respect,
but admits that he has been working to
no avail. What do you think OF IN the
