MURPHY NOT ONE
OF CLUB OWNERS
President John K. Tener of the
National Tells of Status
of C.. WepD.
MERELY OWNS CUB PARK
Interest in the Team Due TO Natural
Desire 10 Assure Income
From the Rent

New York, Nov. 2I.-After an infor-
NAL meeting OF the eastern club own
ers OF the National league, held yester-
day TO discuss business which will
come before the league at its annual
meeting and the general affairs of the
league. President John X. Tener gave
out a statement in which he declared
that Charles Murphy had nothing to
do with the affairs of the Chicago club.
as far as the league was concerned.
Il do not know what was the fnan-
cial agreement between Mr.. Taft and
Mr.. Murphy when the club changed
hands last winter" said President
Tenor. but do know that from that
time on Mr. Murphy has had nothing
whatever to do with the league either
by word, letter or otherwise.
No Joke on League.
We have the word of Mr.. Taft that
he purchased Mr.. Murphy's stock in
the Chicago club. and though Mr.. Muir
ply may have again cropped into the
public prints. there is no reason why
people should sneer and think they
have an excellent joke on the Nation
al lea que and say he never was out
When a man buys a house and the
former owner takes a mortgage on that
house no one can say that the pur
chaser is not the owner. II is true Mr..
Murphy owns some of the realty of the
Chicago National league club. but that
does not make him a partner in the
Chicago club any more than Mr.. Taft
is the partner of Mr.. Baker of Phila-
delphia because the former leases
Mr.. Baker his baseball plant. Does
that enable Mr.. Taft to be affected in
any way by Mr.. Bakers baseball earn
ings?
1T is also natural that Mr.. Taft
should consult Mr. Murphy on his base
ball business, as Murphy originally in
terested him in baseball and was for
years his partner. AS for us, we are
perfectly satisfied that Mr.. Murphy has
nothing to do with the affairs of the
Chicago club"
Can Sell to Anybody.
In speaking OF the proposed sale of
the Chicago club 10 Charles WEIGH
man President Tener said there was
nothing in the National league consti-
tuition to prevent any club from sell
ing its stock TO anyone who desired
to buy. but he added that the Chicago
interests did not negotiate with Mr.
Weeghman before finding out whether
they were satisfactory 10 the rest of
the league
Governor Tenor said he could not
tell. nor could anyone tell. whether
there would be peace in baseball dur
ing the winter.

FANS REQUESTED
TO.CAST BALLOTS
Should Not Hold UP Votes to
Plump at the Close-Will

Ballots received in The Argus can
vass to get the sentiment of fans as
between franchises in the Three-Eye
league and the Central association will
be counted by the judges once each
week until it is believed full express
sion of those who must be looked to
to support a local team has been reg
istered.
1t is known that many fans have
been collecting ballots for days and
are holding them back to plump at
the close. The Argus prefers that this
be not done. But every fan is urged
to vote his preference. There is every
prospect that Rock Island is to have
professional baseball next season. Al
ready the city holds a franchise in
the Three-Eye. though it has been
placed here without solicitation on
the part of any responsible parties in
the city.
The franchise shift from Spring
field to Rock Island was made by Pres
ident Al Tearney of the Three-Eye
league. On the other hand, the Cen
trail association stands ready TO vote
a franchise TO Rock Island in the event
the territory is abandoned by the
Three-Eye.
Mr.. Tearney has promised that he

San Francisco, Nov. Elf the peo-
pie of the world retain the love of
thrills they have evidenced through
the 1914 years of the Christian calen-
dar and during the several thousand
years of the older calendars. there will
be two days of the Panama Pacific eX-
position that will stand mountains
high above the 2SS days. crowded with
world appealing special events.
These two days are February %
of the Vanderbilt cup race and the
second is the day of the Grand
Prix automobile race. But the
mere fact that these races. will take
place on these days is not the source
Of ali the pleasurable anticipation.
For the first time in the many
years of their history they will be
held where hundreds of thousands
may witness every part of the
course. They will be held on
course without a single telephone or
electric pole along the edge. There
will be more cars than ever lined up
in a former race. The course will
be in the finest in many other re-
spects and it will have the features
that will make unusual thrills with
the minimum OF danger.
As an example of this the turns
on the plaza OF the Federal Con
course may be cited. Here the as
phalt roadway is 200 feet wide and
this is to be divided so that one
half of it is given over 10 the speed
demons going west and the other
half IN the racers ROing east The
division line will be a nine foot far
ricade of baled straw. burlap and
pads held to the center of the plaza
by anchored cables. If a driver
swerves into this wall the danger
Is minimized and it should no;
cause him to leave the race.
