The report that Tommy Leach will

threat of President Murphy of the
Cubs to use the courts in an effort
to prevent detection among his en-

Pittsburgh officials of the third
league are mu mon the matter of
Leach, and say that any news about
the matter must come from them to
be authentic.
Leach was a popular idol on the
West Side last season, both because
of his grand playing and his conduct
toward Evers. While warfare was

on the field every afternoon, working

Leach is nearing the end of the
