Chicago, Feb. 12.-Johnny Evers
will not be manager of the Chicago
National league club this season, ac.
cordlng to a statement given out in
Charles w. Murphy's Office here. 1t
was said that Evers will be succeeded
by Henry O'Day, umpire and former
manager of the Cincinnati club
Murphy's statement bore a New
YORK date line, but evidently was writ.
ten in the Cub Office.
The statement gave no reason for
thu change In managers, other than
in saying that O'Day had made good
showing with the Cincinnati club In
1912.
Differences between Murphy and
Evers have existed ever since the mid
die of last season. The loss of the
city series to the White Sox last fall
was blamed on Evers by Murphy, who
thought good baseball judgment on the
part of the Cubs would have given
them the winners end.
Evers in statement from New
York City says he will never play for
Murphy again.

STUNTZ SUED BY HIBBING
Mine Pays $13,195.61 Taxes In Five
Years to the Wrong
Town.

Duluth.-Because Of an oversight on
the part of the tax assessor at the
village of Hibbing, the town of Stuntz
for four years has been receiving taxes
collected on valuable mining property
which has been part of the village of
Hibbing corporation since Jan. 1, 1909
The total sum thus enormously paid
to Stuntz is $13,195.61.
In district court here, the village
of Hibbing began suit against the
township to recover the money. The
mine owners petitioned the village
council to incorporate their property
in it's limits. This was done, but the
property remained on the assessment
rolls as part of Stuntz township. Re-
Gently the mistake was discovered and
the village began clamor for its
money. Stuntz township officials re-
fused to pay, and the suit is the re-
suit.
