of the troop took fourteen-mile hike

An important meeting devoted to first

a good deal of time training through the

At the last business meeting a number
of the boys received their service

a climax in New York a short time ago
at the meeting of national moguls, when
Murphy summarily deposed the popular
Johnny Evers as manager OF the Cubs.
At the same time, the Cub president de-
ciared. Hank O'Day, veteran umpire OF
the league, would succeed Evers.
The magnates, whose tranquility had
already been upset by raids Of the Fed
eral League on organized baseball, were
further aroused when Evers was declared
to be in conference with Federal
Leaguers. 1t was generally considered
that Murphy had made a grave mistake
in ousting Evers when a fight was being
made on organized baseball.
Evers had a contract to manage the
Cubs this year, and he insisted that his
rights be preserved, at the same time
maintaining he would not again play for
Murphy. The Cub president, under cover
engineered n trade of his star second
baseman for Bill Sweeney. infielder, and
Hub Perdue. pitcher of the Boston Ma
tionals. With the Evers ultimatum that
he would not go to Boston if Murphy
profited thereby, the National League
was forced to pay Evers big money to
keep him in line.
cided Murphy should be eliminated for
the peace of their organization. The
matter was placed in the hands of Gov.
Tener. the head of the league.

. From Charlottesville comes the report
that Lambeth Field, where the Nationals
young pitchers will work out this week
is at present covered with snow, the
first of the winter, but that the white
covering is very apt to vanish after two
or three days of sunshinei
This means that the eleven Washington
twirlers who will inaugurate the spring
training season will be forced to work
in the college gymnasium, unless the sun
should happen to come out strong the
next two days, for 1t is claimed that
Lambeth Field can shed a coating of
snow quicker than any other baseball
park in the country.
The Herald's Charlottesville cores
pendent announces that until the recent
snow fell ten days ago, the University
c: Virginia baseball candidates had been
at work for two weeks, and added that
the fertilizer put on the diamond to keep
the growth of grass, was removed the
day before the big snow storm. All of
which means that unless warm weather

srcriaI 10 Tie MashiHgton Herald.

Special to The Washington Herald.
Cincinnati. Ohio. Feb, 2l.-President
Charles Webb Murphy. of the Chicago
Cubs. has been officially kicked out of
the National League. The big boot was
applied to Murphy this evening after a
long secret conference between Gov.
Tener and Charles P. Taft, the man who
bought the Cubs for Murphy. Murphy
has sold his acquired interest in the Chi
cago team to Mr.. Taft and will retire
from the presidency OF the club and as
a director of the National League.
Gov. Tener. in a lengthy statement
issued after the conference, declared that
a new president would be chosen to head
tn Cubs, who will be agreeable to all
concerned Harry Ackerland. who bought
Frank Chances stock in the Cubs Is
mentioned as Murphy's successor.
Every National League club was rep
resented at the meeting in the Sinton
Hotel today. The session began late in
the afternoon. Preceding the meeting
the presidents of the various clubs had
an informal discussion, from which all
outsiders were barred. Ackerland and
John Conway Toole, attorney for the
National League, participated in the con-
ference, which resulted in Murphy's resig-
nation. which means that Murphy is out
of. not only the Chicago club, but also
of organized baseball, temporarily at
least. He probably never will be able
to get back into the game.
Efforts to GUST Murphy, who has been
disliked by other club owners, came to

from purposely passing batters
with his four-foot catcher'S box.
The arguments advanced against
the Intentional pass are that the
star batters of the league are
usually the benefciaries. and the
fans like to see them hit in a
pinch because it is supposed to
make excitement.
Perhaps the careful follower Of base
ball has not observed one fact that. in
my capacity as a pitcher, I have This
is that when a twirIer passes a batter
who is rated to be a tough, bird in or
der to get some easier man, the next
hitter oftener than not drives one safe.
1t is my opinion that psychology is re-
sponsible for this. as much as anything
else. II the situation is pressing enough
to make the pass advisable, one run will

Section 5 of rule "a, in the rule
book, reads: The base runner
shall be entitled, without liability
> to be put out, to base if he be
prevented from making a base by
the obstruction of a fielder, unless
the latter have the ball in his hand
ready to touch the base runner"
All of which reads plainly enough and
really ought to prevent the blocking to
which l am objecting, but 1 have yet

does it happen that a man tries to score
