CANNOT DECIDE
 SITE OF COMING
 ARMY-NAvY GAME

Definite action has been taken By the Athletic Board at West Point fav- bring New York city as the place for holding this years Army-Navy foot ball game, it was said yesterday.
 The West Point Athletic Board, it is said, was content to allow the au-. thorities at Washington to decide the question, until so much pressure was brought to bear for the selection of New York. The Washington authori- ties then shifted the responsibility to the athletic boards of the two aca- denies
 After a thorough canvass it has been found that New York city is the general favorite, even among the nav al officers many of whom were in- clined toward Philadelphia because the n1idshipmen wished that city to be selected. A meeting of the two ath-s letfc boards will be held soon at which the Representatives of West Point will urge that New York city be selected for all future Army-Navy football games. If the Annapolis representa- tives insist alternating the games between New York city and PhiIadel- p1lia, the West Point representatives will accede to their wishes

SKATER DECIDES
 TO our M'GRAW
Manager HustIes to Marlin to Find Successor to
 Infielder.

Arthur Shafer, the Giant inf1e1der. has notified the New York club that he will not play baseball any more. Just as soon as Manager McGraw got word on Saturday night that Shafer had de- cided to quit, he decided to hurry at once to Marlin, Texas, where he will have the difficult task of rebuilding the left wing of the Giant inf1eld.
 Shafer is in Los Angeles and has de- cided to go into business with his fath- er He ifs naturally a. skil1ful. grace full ball player, but he would not take the game seriously. Manager McGraw has often said that if Sh4fer had to play ball as a livelihood and not as a recreation, he would develop into one of the best players of the game ~s Shafer made name for himself at St. Mary's College in California, and in 1909 McGraw signed him as 8 'Iroo- kie'' at the recommendation of Fred Snodgrass, who played on the same team with him on the coast.
 With the trading of Herzog and the quitting of Shafer, the Giant infie1d has received a hard blow. Manager McGraw. however, believes that he can
 fill up the gap with Eddie Grant or Milton Stock The latter player has had tryout with the Giants before, and has since been in the international League.

DANNY MURPHY TO
 MANAGE BROOKE YN
Former Norwich Star Jumps Philadelphia Athletics to
 Join Federals.

: Danny Murphy, formerly field cap tain of the worlds champion Ath- letics, has signed a contract with the Brooklyn club of the Federal League according to report sent out from his home in Nofwich, Conn. last night. As Murphy's playing days are over. he will be 4appofnted bench man ager.
 Last week, as soon as 1t, was an .nounced that Murphy had been re- leased by the Athletics to Baltimore of the International League. the Fed eraI League officials got busy.
 Murphy for several seasons has been a. member Of the worlds cham pions, and has been of great aid to Connie Mack's board Of strategy. Murphy is 36 years old. and first at- traoted attention as a player with the Norwich club in 1900. He was pur- chased by the Giants and played part of the season of 1900 and 1901. He went back to Norwich for part of a season, and was then bought by the Athletics as a second baseman after Lajoie had been enjoined from play ing in Pennsylvania kAs a second baseman he played great ball with the Athletics, both at the bat and as 9 fielder. It was always his desire to play the out1eld, and when he went to the outgardens, he proved the most valuable hard-hitting outf1elder on che club. After doing great work in the worlds series against the Giants in 1911, Murphy injured his knee, and was out of the game during most of the season of 1912. Last year, Murphy played a few games. but he never re- covered his old playing form after the injury.

OLD TIME FIGHT FANS ARE
 SORRY FOR TOM SHARKEY

Tom Sharkey's conviction Of running an illegal resort, which resulted in the assessment of a fine of $500 and sentence of thirty days in jail, has caused a lot of old time fight fans to suffer what the damage-Suit lawyers call mental anguish The for mer able seaman and strong con- tender for heavyweight pugiIfstic honors, who has been running a cafe in East Fourteenth street, New York, since his retirement from the ring, has a multitude of 2 admirers who recall his maSterful and artistic ring performances Of late years, since he began dispen- sing punch instead of punches Tom hasn't been famous as a free and ready two-handed spender, but it came out at his trial that he hasn't held on to all of the coin that has passed into his cash registers. A priest testified that Tom gave up $500 to help build 8 gymnasium for the kids of the neighborhood, and had also done ing astray by giving free boxing lessons several nights a week.
 Everybody in our set knows that Tom was a sailor bold who roamed the seven seas and Long Island Sound before he went into the ring and gave the best heavy weights of the period a hard run for their honOrs. He won on fouls over Corbet antd FitzsimmOns, and licked Joe Goddard, Peter Maher, Gus RuhIin and many other famous heayyweights.
 Sharkey fought JeffrieS twice, and gave the champion about the Hardest tusSles of his career. In the memorable JeR-Sharkey bout at Coneys Island the mariner car- ried the fight to big Jim for eigh- teen rounds, and looked like a sure winner. After that Jeffrfes got his second wind and sailed fn- to Sharkey with such effect that at the end of the bout the sailor had two broken ribs, a crippled hand and a nose smashed almost as flat as the proverbfal pancake. Referee George SiIer gave Jeh the decision, but Tom set up a great cry that he had been job bed and robbed. Tom left the arena in an ambulance and was taken to a hospital to recuperate. but Jeff was opening joy water for the boys within an hour after the bout.
 Sharkey doesn't think much of present-day heavyweigf1ts. ssOld Bob Fitz," he says, could have stopped all these white hopes in one ring the same night, and the same goes for me. I'd have eaten lem up in one big guIpi"
