are as rule many applicants for
positions where necessarily but one
man can be chosen. And yet there
are many clubs and the work is pleas

professionals are interesting indi-
viduals, and they form at the present
time a large class in this country
wnere they receive, perhaps, the best
aii-around treatment in the world.

He's the *'Sick Man Of Baseball"
Murphy Needs a Drastic Remedy

NJ OF that we are going TO pan Mr.,
4 Murphy 1t would do no good,
and 1t would work no harm. Mr..
Murphy has been thoroughly toasted
on warmer typewriters than ours.
Rather we would say that the Sick
Man of Baseball really appears to be
in need OF something-somethin diff
ferent than he has had since first he
began to fritter away the greatest
ball club the National League ever
owned.
There was a wild story out the
other day that plan was on foot to
separate Mr.. Murphy from organized
baseball, If the National League had
to be torn apart and amalgamated
with part of the Federal circuit to
do It.
That would be going a long way to
find a remedy. Yet there are times
when some people might agree 1t was
worth IT,
Organized baseball is initiating the
baseball fans of Chicago and of the
country in at least one point-it is
getting tired of Mr.. Murphy.
7 N the same connection we should
judge from the published accounts
of the fracas that Mr. Evers landed
on a fairly fiowery bed A contract
for four years at $4,000 per. with a
$4,000 bonus. and more II the team
runs one-two- three sounds pretty
soft. even flowery. Allowing the GUS
tomary discount, 1t seems evident that
Mr.. Evers is not losing anything by
being bounced from the command o,
the Cubs.
Now, let us hope that Messrs Per-
!
in the Southern League. will not be
sentenced TO work it out under the
misunderstanding of Mr.. C. Webb Muir
ply.

In the series of a thousand and one ad

multiply himself to nonplus his enemies
by pulling hair from his body.
Suffice ii to say that, after a wear
isome journey, they arrived at the land

For this long pilgrimage Don Son was
given a set OF canons. Unluckily, the
party was upset while In the middle of

was destroyed, with the result Don Son
never brought back the whole truth to
the Emperor Tang Tai Tscong, who
recorded the event by establishing a
memorial tablet. The religious moral
