Eastern Wing of National
League COnfers, but
Not for Peace.
DEFINES POSITION OF
MURPHY IN CHICAGO
Negotiations Between Taft and
Weeghman Did Not Con-
Germ Organization.
BY HAYWOOD BROUN.

The eastern wing of the National
League conferred with Governor Tener
at the Waldorf yesterday, and their
discussion revealed the fact that in
this part of the country there is small
demand for peace with the Federal
League. At the meeting were Harry
n. Hampstead, Of the Giants; jim GAIT
ney, owner Of the Braves; William S.
Baker, of the Phillies, and Charles ii.
Ebbets and Edward McKeever, of
Brooklyn.
what are the chances for peace ?"
was the question put to the president
of the National League when he came
out from the meeting. 81 can't say"
answered the Governor, shaking his
head, but the position of the Federal
League reminds me a little of the old
story about Nellie the beautiful cloak
model and the villain in the melo-
drama.
an the first act the villain ties Mel
lie In front of a subway train, in the
second he locks her in a burning build
ing, and in the third he throws her
from an ocean liner, yet when he meets
her in the fourth act he asks: Nellie,
why can't you trust me-?
THE Federal League promoters have
done their best to disrupt baseball and
TO disgust the baseball public, but now
they are asking: why can't you trust
u.s. That seems TO me to be going a
little too far"
In discussing the reports from Chi
cago that Charles Webb Murphy was
taking an active hand in the affairs of
the Cubs, Governor Tener said: "Mr.
Murphy Is connected with the National
League IN no way more than that
table" and he dealt the piece of furni-
ture a resounding blow to emphasize
his point.
"0f course" the Governor added,
"Mr. Murphy is a warm friend of
Charles F. Taft, and it is quite possible
that he advises him at times on base
ball matters. Also 1t is true that Mr..
Murphy is interested in the Cubs to
the extent of owning so per cent of the
realty on which the grounds stand, but
he is not connected with the club itself,
and that we are in a position to know.
The criticism that something has been
put over on the National League is
unfair and untrue"
Taking up the question of the con-
ference between Hermann and Weigh
man, Governor Tener declared that the
owner OF the Cincinnati Reds was act
ing in his personal capacity and not as
chairman Of the National Commission.
mo proposition has been made to the
league or been put forward by the
league said the Governor. He added
that the negotiations between Taft and
Weeghman did not necessarily concern
the league as a whole, as there was no
denying the right Of any one at all to
buy the stock of any club in the league.
The Governor thought it possible that
.his deal might be taken up again in
spite Of the fact that the option grant
ed by Mr.. Taft has expired. He under
stood that Mr. Taft had stipulated that
the owner must be agreeable to the
National League.
$50 far as the National League goes"
continued Governor Tener, eve have
nothing TO worry about The season
last year was undoubtedly an artistic
success in every sense, and financially
it was a good year"

81 never follow any strict routine
in training. There is danger of going
stale and burning yourself out in
swimming quicker than in any other

Swimming more than any other
exercise tends to an even. develop

a foundation with which one may

Among women it is conceded that
swimming tends more toward round

London. Feb. 2s.-Members of the
American colony and Engiish athletes
and sporting men: gathered at the sta
ton today. to bid farewell to the Amer
ican basebalI teams. The players all
expressed regret that they could not
stay longer In London. whore they had
been extensively entertained at din
ners, luncheons and theater parties.
John J. McGraw, in few words
spoken from the train, thanked both
Americans and English present for the
cordfals way in which the tourists had
been received here. Among the other
passengers on the boat train were the
members of Japanese government
commission headed by Baron Kohoror
Takahira, former ambassador to the
United States, which has been investi-

BALLY GOOD CAME
British Press Says Baseball
Can't Equal Cricket.
Admit Cricketers Have Some
thing to Learn.

London, Feb. 2S-Too much happens
In baseball that counts for nothing.
according to several British newspapers
this morning, and their reference was
to the game played yesterday and not
in a National League meeting.
Another terrible charge brought
against the national pastime is that it
is too slow and now Mike Donlin says
he sincerely hopes and prays that the
writer that pulled that charge did not
base his judgment on the performance
of the Giants centerfielder yesterday
who. by the way, happens to be Sir
MiQue.
The British will have it that base
ball is merely glorified FOUNDERS. speed
ed up considerably. deah fellah, but
still retaining the form of game that
is popular with school children. AS
novelty our cousins on this side OF
the deep blue say the game was bally
interesting but really was no challenge
to their sense of superiority OF cricket.
Fair enough.
They admit, however, that cricket
players have something to learn from
baseball in regard to fielding, but COM
plain because in our game only few
runs were made in over an hour. They
also acknowledge that the throwing
was amazing, both as to speed and
| accuracy and if it were as good as
cricket and the catches were made with
the same certainty as in baseball. why.
so runs would be knocked or every
inning, which is undoubtedly the tip
of on cricket.
sThe Americans here say the fact that
the game did not stop for tea upset the
Britons whole order of things and
spoiled the afternoon. Some of the pa
pers even contended that the game
lacked excitement, although it was ex-
citing enough for the Americans that
were present.
Bill KLEIN, the Fay-Muss umpire, de-
clares that a good deal of the atmos-
phere was removed from the pastime
because he was prohibited from exercis-
! ing his voice in introducing the players.
