the team.
Charles Weeghman, one Of the
hackers of the Chicago Federal league
team was for Years an ardent Cub
rooter. He soured on Murphy, and so
dld thousands of other patrons of the
West Side ball park.
Now, just a few words about the
way Murphy handles ball players.
When Evers was in poor health one
spring. Murphy found out hat he
would not be able to play the entire
season. lie wired me while the team
was in Pittsburgh to hat effect. And
right there Murphy showed his hand.
. "EINers. who had been with the
team for years, and who had played
great ball, would not have received a
cent Of salary that year If Murphy
had had his way.
Murphy. in his message, said that
ne did not believe E;vers should draw
his pay for the season. | would not
stand for giving Evcrs a raw deal Of
that sort. and Johnny got his salary,
every dollar of it, for the entire yea
tie played only a few games for us
that season.
Brown and Tinker were both bad
ly treated by Murphy. I'll not men
ton tho treatment received, for
that's past and gone. and life is too
short to let things like that embitter
one and spoil his life"

move was a verbal protest to the

Then the doctor sought to make

League Issues Statement
Regarding Jumpers.

New York. Jan. 22.-Prcsident Ed.
arc Barrow of the International
league said yesterday that the few
players of the league who have
jumped to the Federal league will
have until. the opening Of the season
to reconsider their action. After that
date they will be. eliminated as far as
the International league is concerned.
He said:
The international league will bear
the brunt of the fight so far as actual
competition is concerned IL the Fed
erals start, but we will not make any
attempt al retaliation SO long as com
petition is fair, above board and on
its merits.
The stories being sent out from
the Federal league headquarters re-
garding certain players and umpires
being signed are frequently reports
made out of whole cloth, with the
evident intention of deceiving the bali
players and encouraging them to Join
the Federal organization. AS an illus
tration 1 can state that umpire Brick
Owens, whom the Federal league
claims to have signed up was signed
some ten days ago to an International
league contract"

CHISANA POOR
 MEAT MARKET

Darcy Arden who fook a drove of cattle to the Chisa1a country last fall, says the Whitehorse Star, ar rived here the latter part of last week, from that place and left Tues day morning for his home in Otta- Wa from which place he will return in about six weeks on his way back to Chisana.
 MT. Arden did not find the Chis- ana a good market for domestic meat, owing to the abundance of wild game obtainable there. The result was that he slaughtered his cattle and cached the pleat in cold storage in tn. hope that the mar Let will be better later in the spring and when the season for game is over.
 MT. Arden is not discouraged with the outlook in the Chisana but is convinced that it will develop into good mining camp with the ad- vent of spring. He says a few new discoveries have been made during the winter ana thinks many others will be made early ill the spring when the working season op- ens.
