Danny Murphy, one of the most popular players that ever performed on a baseball diamond has started his second season as manager of the New Haven club. Last year in a ten club league he finished at the top of the second division This year with but of his friends in this city that he fin ishes even better and that he forces Gene McCAnn manager of the mill ionaire ball club over in New London. to go some to repeat his win of last year.
 Danny dropped out of major league ball at the end of the 1913 season. The following year found him with the was manager of the Brooklyn team, a position into which John Ganzel later stepped Even with the Feds he con- tinued as hitting hend, for his aver over the 300 mark.
 Folks in Norwich and all over New England and major league baseball circles are exceptionally well ac- on the diamond. They recall that early in life he worked in the mills in OIncyville, R. l., for the munificeA t salary of $2-25 a week. All the whae he played ball in the lots down home and developed into a fairly well fin ished infelder and 8 whale of a hit ter.
 They recall that when Napoleon LaI1O1e went rom the Fall FlNeT New England league team to the PhillieS that Danny stepped into his berth With the Mill City bunch. In 1898 he ven tured into North Attfeboro to play, and on making good moved up to the Nor wtch club of the Connecticut league
 Then it was a couple of years later that Danny received his first chance with the majors. The Giants bought his contract, but after a tryout turned him back as a trif1e green for the big show. It looked then as though he were done, and he passed up a great chance to sign with the Boston club Of the then youthful league. Still be- ing anxious to return to the Giants, Danny refused to sign with the club that subsequently became the Red Sox.
 He was sick in a Boston hospital when the opportunity came his way, and on recovering returned to Norwich to play. Connie Mack having learned that the Giants had passed Murphy up, stopped off at Norwich on July [, 1902. saw him play a game, signed him up immediately after the game was over and took him to Boston to start his real big show career.
 And what a start it wasi Fans who saw the Athletics play that day and were fortunate enough to recall Mur- phy, still talk about the upstart who clouted the old onion safely six times in six trips to the plate. and on one of those trips belted the offerings of Den ton Tecumseh Young for four sacks All that happened at the old Hunting

ton avenue ball yard. Of his six hits that afternoon, July 8, 1902, to be exact, four were singles, one double and the other the four ply clout.
 From that minute on there wasn't a question as to his sticking in the big show. Connie was hailed far and had once more gathered in a star, with one look, who had been passed up by another major league manager. From that day until the coming of Eddie Collins into the $100,o0o infield Danny Murphy was an infield star with the Macks.
 Once more, to revert a trif1e into the realms of ancient history, we'll tell the world that Connie made futile efforts to make Collins, lad fresh from Co., we'll pause to say that he failed dis mafly at that task. Thus it was that Danny stepped from the inner works to the outer garden. there to star for several more seasons.
 And it wasn't until along in 1913, when his legs began to bother him, that he displayed signs of slipping. For more than ten years he had been a star and had played ball on five cham pionship teams In his initial year. 1902, he clouted the pill for .313. The next championship came in 1905, when his hitting fell off to PTS. Then came 300 even in 1910 and .329 in 1911. In 1913, though forced to remain idle for d SOOC1y POIllOn Ol lh6 year, ii0 ClOul- ed 1922 in 40 games. Thus it can be seen that his grand average for the five championship teams he played on was 1908.
 Danny's career in the big show easi- ly netted him in excess of $45 900, and added to that one can safely credit him with few more made in the Feds and then top it off with his earnings in the Eastern league. By and large any way one looks at Murphy's base ball career he can't help but feel that he made good. And by the same token folks in Norwich claim he has made good in business and will always con- tinue to do so.
 Murphy is a married man and has resided in Norwich for more than 20 years. Each fall, however he finds time to step away from his business cares and home ties for a long enough time to get in a little hunting Then when the fish are biting good he's all ways got time enough to make use of the several fine fishing rods that have been given him at one time or an- other.
 Danny's strong for old Ireland. and can always be found at an A. O. H. celebration when he has the time In addition he belongs to the Foresters, Elks. Eagles and Eastern Connecticut Chamber of Commerce.

The major league annals for the past

The major league annals for the past IT years show that the greatest mum Der of no-hit games pitched in any one season was in 1908, when there were four in the American and two in the National league. Tn 1900, 1905 and 1916 four such feats were recorded. With virtually five months of schedule play ahead, it would appear as though the 1917 corps of twirlers had an un- usual opportunity to establish new figures in this direction, since three more no-hit games will surpass the total made in 1908.

Barleycorn had been given blow on

to turn over new leaf if it ever ex-

Why did Baraboo go dry? In the
first place the prohibition wave is in
the air King Alcohol is losing his
crown in many quarters the world
over. The drive begun in the west
and south is penetrating Wisconsin
and it. is only~a question of time I'M

IS AN ARMY WANTED ABROAD?

The United States is virtually at
war with Germany, and what are the
steps that will be taken by this gov
eminent? War vessels may be used,
shipping craft may be employed, arms
may be furnished, and money may be
loaned 1t is not believed that an army
will be sent abroad. If Germany is de-
feated, and it looks as if that would
be her fate, it is not likely that Eng
land, Russia and France will want
Uncle Sam at the treaty table. Those
three nations expect to have the final
word when the diplomats meet to
sheathe the sword. That will be a
world event, and those who have suf-
fered most will want front seats when
the great day comes. If foreign ar
mics were to be in the field, no doubt
Japan would have been invited long
ago. There would be nothing for the
United States to gain by sending an
army to Europe, for the United States
is not looking for territory in that
quarter There are other reasons, the
freedom of the seas, and all that,
which drive this country to action.
Those who expect to follow the flag
under French skies should put aside
the thought, we believe.

WHY THE. EASTERN CITIES ARE
EXCITED

A recent visitor in Washington and
New York says the whole converse
ton, morning, noon and night, is war,
war, war The eastern cities are
frightened, and we'll they may be- That
is the trouble with the whole situa
ton. Germany will not attack Chi
cago or other cities a thousand miles
from the sea very soon, but the war
spirit in the east has invaded Chica-
go as we'll as other inland places.
Were it not for the English fleet the
German warships would soon be
throwing hot shells into Atlantic coast
towns. That is why the east is ex-
cited. A military expert points out it
would be no great difficult matter for
Germany to land 100000 men in the
United States in thirty days if she
were master of the sea. These troops
could land at some point beyond the
range of coast defense guns, if Uncle
Sans fleet were put to flight. About
what is the first thing that Germany
would do? She would demand an in
demnity Of five billion dollars, more or
less, and the coast cities would have
to pay or be blown up. When Ger
many captured Paris in 1871 she car
ried away a billion dollars in gold,
she has taken big indemnities out Of
Belgium in the present war, so the
reader can see there is serious dan
ger, providing the Kaiser could reach
this side Of the sea. Germany may
make peace in Europe, if she can, then
attack this country. 1t is the business
of this nation to get into the war game,
join the allies, and aid in crushing the
military power Of Central Europe be-
fore it is too late. When peace is
made in Europe it should include
peace and freedom for the remainder
of the world. Can you blame the atti-
tude taken by the east? What would
you do if you owned property on the
Atlantic coast? What if your proper
ty was in danger of being blown up?
That is the situation. The nation is
for defense.
