MURPHY INSISTS
ON SELLING CUBS
Threatens to Form Independent
Circuit If MiChieVouS Factors
in Organized Baseball Are
Not Eliminated.

CHICAGO, Feb. 13.-Whether or
not c. w Murphy and others remain
in organized baseball depends on the
attitude OF the New York National
league club toward a plan that has
been formulated to eliminate several
factors which the forces of organized
base ball consider inimical to the good
of the game" and TO terminate the
present warfare without the shedding
Of a drop OF blood.
The scheme is simply TO give Muir
ply a chance to dispose Of the Cubs
at a fair price and, if he refuses, to
spring an amalgamatiOn of five OF Che
present National league club owners
with three Of the embryonic Federal
league clubs, leaving the Chicago, St.
Louis and Brooklyn clubs in the Ma
tional league with the privilege of TAX
ing five other clubs into partnership
before the opening of the next cham
pionship season, to form an independ-
ent circuit
The first step was taken when the
wires carried to Pres. Murphy in New
York a cash offer for the Chicago
league ball club from a syndicate of
well known Chicago spOrtsmen repre-
scented by Commodore James a. Pugh
of the Columbia Yacht club, Charles
A. McCulloch, manager of the Par
melee Transfer Co, and VIM. Hale
Thompson.
The actual figures required TO rep
resent the bid Of this syndicate for
the ownership of the club, and wheth-
er it was intended to purchase merely
the stock controlled by c. W. Murphy
or the entire issue of stock, could not
be ascertained.
The attitude Of the Cub boss to-
ward the opportunity thus given him
to retire from baseball will he a he'll
ligerent refusal 10 accept it, judging
by interviews purporting to emanate
from him in New York.
If he proves willing to sell and to
withdraw himself from the game an
effort will be made to go along with
the present National league If Muir
ply declines TO quit under fire the
plan which cOntemplates the practical
wiping out Of the old National league,
which has existed for nearly 40 years.
will be put in force.
