BY O. b. Keller.

YHEN the late-the very late
w and unlamented Richard III
came a final cropper at Bos-
worth Field, some contemporary his
torian was moved TO remark that
nothing in his whole life became him as
well as his manner of leaving it. For
it really had to be admitted that
Friend Dick was some scrapper.
In a somewhat similar vein we are
moved to remark that few things if
anything, in the baseball career of
Charles Webb Murphy became him
to the extent Of his sudden decision
to leave it.
AS baseball magnate, c. w. Muir
ply is one of the most popular little
resigners the sport ever has produced.
NE do not pretend to say whether
w Mr.. Murphy was actuated by
any motives having to do with the
good of tle sport 1t may. or may
not. have been that Mr.. Murphy quit
simply because he saw that the quit
ting was good and likely to get worse.
Mr. Murphy's career in baseball and
his whole campaign of running a
shoestriag up to a million bucks. can
not be taken as indicating a warm
and tender solicitude for the welfare
of the game, or of his compatriots,
or of his players, or of anything else

for several days his life was in de-

~ mCAGO, Feb. 23.-Baseball
isn't going to lose Charles w.
Murphy. At least, that is what
rhe ousted Chicago Cub magnate said
ro-day. Financially he will soon be
Through with the sport that enabled
him to run a shoestring into $1,000
hoo. but he says his heart is in the
game and he's going to fight for base
ball from now on as a real loyal fan.
He declares he will be at almost
severy game and that If the umpires
ferr, they will find him one of the big
Ikickers.
And I'll not only criticise the UNI
pires if they err, but also the play
ers and owners" said the West Side

rive fought hard, but my style of
battling was not welcomed. I'll look

There are plenty of breakers ahead
on that troublous sea of baseball for
4 he new owner or owners of the Cubs.
Fans are ready to criticise, but they
little remember the good things
player or magnatc does. It's worry
about a new grandstand, players,
managers. the jeers of the fans, the
Threats to move Cub Park from its
present site, etc, for somebody else
now. Running Il ball club in chi
.cago isn't easy"
THERE was ring of sincerity to
Murphy's words that he is glad
he is out of baseball.
I'm out of the game forever" con-
tinued Murphy. And now much
brighter the world looks to-day. No
worry. no care Baseball to me has
teen a continual squabble and its
been trouble and trouble
Either to-day or tomorrow Muir
ply will call a meeting of the board
of directors of the Cub team, when
he will transfer his stock and at
which meeting a new president likely
will be named. Murphy says he be-

the position.
Charles W. would not say what he
was paid for his interests in the
Cubs. He admitted buying the club
from Hart for 100000. II is now
rated as being worth $1,O0O,OOO
'HWILL not say what I got" was
his answer, but on the ratio of
what l got for my SO per cent. of the
stock, the Cub ball club is worth more
than $1,000. 900. And that doesn't in
clude the ground where the park is.
I still own a half interest in the real
estate of the West Side Park, as well
as a half interest in the Philadelphia
grounds. The rental from those two
pieces of property would furnish me
all the money 1 could use for the rest
of my life, and 1 have no intention
of disposing of the property in either
city, because its going up in value

Three Cheers for c. W, Murphy
AS an Ex-Magnate He's Popular

with the single exception of Mr..
Murphy himself.
AND yet we have it from people
q who know Mr. Murphy quite
Well that he is personally a likeable
chap; genial thoughtful, impulsive
quick TO a rather generous sort of
anger and equally quick to get over
it, ready to forgive faults in others
and even more ready to ask forgive
ness for those Of his own
This is not the picture of rhe I'M
grateful magnate who canned neon
siderately the four men-Chance,
Brown, Tinker and EVers-who did
the most to earn him his million, and
who made the Cubs the greatest
baseball machine the National League
ever saw
IT'S an odd picture. a sort OF Dr.
Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde affair and
we don't pretend to reconcile or eX-
plain it.
All we can suggest is this.
Mr.. Charles Webb Murphy's deci
sion to get out of baseball and his
prompt action on that decision have
made him more popular than any Of
those who knew only his baseball
side could ever have expected him
to be.
Mr.. Murphy as boss Of the cubs,
is a widely popular figure in the base
ball circles of this country.
And what a publicist he was.

FRATERNI7IES
 DESERT OLD
 HEADQUARTERS

An altogether unusual and excep. tional thing in the general run Of lodge history will occur today. when the Knights Pythia of Bisbee will move out of the quarters which they nave occupied for years and which upon erection was deemed SO certain of being their permanent home that the erectors of the building dedi- cated 1t to Pythianism and placed appropriate papers in the corner stone.
 The Knights move today 10 the Odd Fellows building. where their home will be until they erect a build ing of their own. Plans for the build ing are now being drawn and it is probable that it's erection will be commenced before the end of the present year. It will be valuable building and a decided gain to the city. With the removal to the odd Fellows building another change of importance to Pythians will be made. this being in the meeting night. which beginning with tonight is changed to Thursday nights. In, the past the Bisbee lodge has always met on Tuesday nights. The change Is made because of hall lease neoes- sities.
 With departure of the K. P's. from Pythian Castle. the hall is deserted by fraternal organizations. which in past years have looked upon it as favorite location. The Knights are the last of half dozen fraternities to leave the hall since it was leased month ago to the Western Fede- ration. The latter organization found use for the ante rooms and made i'm possible the privacy which the fra ternal orders required The remov- als followed.

One of the greates: purely dramatic productions ever placed on the screen is scheduled to appear at the Royal Theater this afternoon and evening The picture is called "A Leaf in the storm" and the leading role is played by Miss Marion Leonard. one of the best known actresses in the movie" world
 Perhaps the most sensational fea- ture fin this picture is a real storm at sea and shipwreck which follows the storm. An actual storm at sea was filmed in order to get the proper effects for this part of the film and it is said to be wonderful in every de- tail
 A pleasing love story runs through the entire piece. Miss Leonard is one of the best known women of the screened square and anything in which she Is featured is always good.

 Compared with tho season of 1913. over the state as a whole, the water supply for the spring and early sum mer of this year appears to be much more promising.

 At the end of February. 1914. the higher levels of the White Mountains and the northern part of the Blue Range are covered to a depth of about feet. There Is little snow on tho south slopes below the 9,000.foot line, while at that height on the north sides there remain from to 20 inches.
