Clean Up Eyers Muss.
Free of G. Webb Murphy the Ma
tional league was able to smile a little
today. The next step in cleaning up
the mess resulting from the firing OF
Johnny Evers is to find way to re-
imburse the Chicago club for the loss
of the crack second baseman. With
Murphy out, it is now understood the
club will not be left fat, but in the
end 1t will probably cost the league
at least cold $4,000.
1t is understood that Governor Ten
er believes $4,000 would be a faill
purchase price for Evers and in re-
turn for the aid given in the ehms
nation of Murphy may turn this gum
over to the Cubs for that amount. In
the end at least the league will wind
up in the hole financially, but saved
from being wrecked by Murphy.

will be given tonight at Marshalltown

has already been raised in support of
the club there for the coming season.

Frank Richards, last year manager
of the Kewanee Boilermakers, will
pilot the Marshalltown club this year,
according to word given out at Bur-

at Burlington Thursday and buzzed
around the boys, especially those from
