own.
Murphy, according TO the American
heads, has given baseball enough
black eyes and they demand that he
be brought up with round turn.
One rumor that was seriously con-
sidered for a time was that Murphy
would be forced to relinquish control
of the Cubs, and the team would then
be offered to Charles Weeghman,
local hacker of the Federal League.
This one move would crush the Feds
and Murphy at the same time.
Weeghman killed his end of the
deal by declaring he would stick to
the Federal League, no matter what
happened, and would not accept a
franchise in organized ball.
Murphy read letter from EVers
before his fellow magnates which he
said amounted to a resignation. The
magnates couldn't see it that way
and sat on the president.
Then he arranged a deal with

said he would not agree. John said
he would refuse to be party to any
trades which benefited Murphy.
And he holds the whip hand. His
contracts will stand, and the National
magnates, to save the face Of their
league, must back John up in any
action he takes.

which he intimated the fans could |
