Murphy doesn't use any field glasses

TO gather his information. other
than a keen sense OF observation
and the ability to think quickly-~
/ To me Danny Murphy is one Of
the most remarkable characters in
baseball Standing on the third base
coaching lines when the Athletics
are at bat. he Is far from an impos-
ing figure His position Is usually a
careless one. and he emits no wild
yells like Hughey Jennings did In
the days OF old.
As a matter Of fact Murphy prob
ably impresses the average fans as a
player who had but little interest in
his work. Usually as the pitcher
starts his delivery. Murphy can be
seen uttering a few apparently un-
Ineligible remarks TO the batter,
While the fan can't hear, and
doesn't understand what Murphy is
