There is a story going the rounds that
men in organized base ball are anxious
to rid the game of Charles W. Murphy.
owner of the Chicago Cubs. 1t is inti-
mated that Murphy will have to agree
to the placing of an American Associa-
ton club in Chicago. during the joint
conference of the two major leagues
in New York next week, or there will
be trouble There is no denying the
fact that Weeghman is very popular
in Chicago. and, having a lot of money,
he is very anxious to invest in base
ball There are those magnates who
think the game would be benefited if
Weeghman was substituted for Murphy,
though this, of course, would not be an
easy matter.
1t is understood that Weeghman
might be willing to take an American
Association franchise for Chicago and
give up the Federal League scheme.
This, of course. would virtually put
the Federals out of business. but
Murphy has opposed this plan. probably
because he fears that to have both
Comiskey and Weeghman who are
very popular in Chicago, oppose him
would mean his undoing.
If Murphy takes stand against the
placing of another club in Chicago he
is to be subjected to tremendous pres
sure by the leaders of organized base
ball who favor this move.
That Federal League affairs are still
rather uncertain is indicated by the
rumor that the Toronto club is to be
dropped and the franchise shifted to
