eral League Club, according to Joe
Tinker, manager Of the Chicago Fed

NATIONAL LEAGUE
MAY DROP MURPHY
President Tener Calls Meeting
to Curb Activities of
Cubs Owner.
WANT HIN TO SELL OUT

The National League has a big task
on its hands tomorrow, for it plans
to either curb or drop Charles w.
Murphy, of Chicago, as gracefully as
possible or sever its harmonious re-
lations with the American League.
President Tener has called the meet
ing primarily to handle Murphy, who
probably viii be requested to sell out.
Secretary John A. Heydler of the
National League, and President
Charles H. Ebbets, of Brooklyn, will
leave for Cincinnati today. Every
club owner has promised to be there.
President Hampstead of the Giants,
will go from Indianapolis. With dis
-sension in the National League, the
stock of the Federal League has
taken a boost. It is believed by base
ball men that if Murphy was elimi-
mated from the game, peaceful rela-
lions would be resumed and the Fed
eral League would not be able to
live against the opposition Of the
major organizations when they are
running smoothly.
American League club owners look
upon the National League, or GER
tain members of 1t, as being respon-
sible for the Federal uprising. Start
ing with the Tinker case in Cincin-
natl, when he was deposed by the
Cincinnati directors because of a
wordy spat with one of the mem
bers of the board, trouble has been
brewing in the league.
The Brooklyn Clubs failure to land
Tinker when it could have signed him,
followed by the Evers affair has
aroused feeling against the National
League. No one realizes this more
than President Tener, and it will be
his effort to get rid of the disturbing
element.
The league will be willing to pay
| Murphy well for his stock in the Chi
cago Club, and also to satisfy hin
in the matter of the Evers transfer
to Boston. The Chicago Club Is very
valuable, but the other club owners
view with alarm the manner in which
it has been deteriorating during the
last few seasons. Last season every
club in the league was affected by
the decrease in popularity of the Cubs
in Chicago.

crandalI and Hartley FIirtinr.

Pitcher Otis Crandall, rescue man

and traded to St Louis only TO be
called back by McGraw because of
the strenuous objection the fans
made, is flirting with the Federals
and may sign a contract. Crandall
was at the Federal League Office in
Chicago yesterday. accompanied by
Chick Hartley, former catcher of the
Giants, who was traded to Cincin-
natl. and he, too. may become a Fed
eral. An effort may be made by
President Ward to sign Crandali for
his team, as the Giant pitcher is a
popular favorite with the New York
fans. Neither Crandall nor Hartley
has signed contracts, hence they are
open for negotiations.
