HIGH SCHOOL PLANS GAME
WITH SILVER CIV NORM A

Negotiations are under way for a
basketball game between the high
school quintet and the team from the
Silver City, n. NJ, normal school for
next Saturday. The game will be
played at the Y. NJ. c. A. gym if salts
factory arrangements can be made.
Bringing the Silver City team here will
involve considerable expense for the
high school, so a subscription fund is
being raised.

VuaIILIcauuu- Anu therein lies one Of
Murphy's greatest faults Murphy's
undiDlomatic, unvarnished remarks in
the past are largely responsible for
the storm that ragged around him.
Murphy is fearless. His worst enc

cided that the interests of the Chi
cago club would be served best By
letting Frank Chance go a year ago.

ability as a leader as 1t Is to an agree
ment among the magnates, made back
IN 1901, that made each magnate agree
that he would sell out his interests
and quit the league at any time that
the majority of magnates decided that
MS connection with the league was
detrimental to its interests. And. as
we get it, it was COmiskey, not John
son, who had the foresight to frame

Johnson is pointed to as a great
leader, because, as its president he
led the American league to recogni-
ton by the National league. Until
the present time it looked like a great
achievement, but compared to what
mas been done by James A Gilmore,
president of the Federal league, his
success in a way was remarkable.
Johnson's league waged war at
time when there was a real demand for
a second. big league. At that time the
ball players could be secured for half
the amount that the Federal leaguers
must pay to get them. At that time
johnson and his American leaguers
had to fight only the National league.
But GilmOre's case is different. His
league comes along at time when 1t
must fight an organized enemy;
comes when there is little need for
new league, and comes when unlimited
DankrOlls are necessary, and when
most men with these bankrolls thought
the fight a hopeless one.
