no hunting can be cone from it after
two days following the close OF the
season.
Maryland authorities look for much
less hunting in the State this year than
last, due to the curb on duck hunting,
and to the present economic conditions
within the State and the Nation. While.
with the exception of ducks, a good
supply of other game Is reported. is

Federal hunting license, the money to

Since 1920, when the seriousness Of

M'QUADE TO PLAN
BOXING IN GARDEN
Moves Into Bigger Job as
Johnston Gets Control
of FiStic Plant.
BY WILBUR WOOD.

N YEW YORK. October 16.-When
~ Jimmy Johnston moves into
Madison Square Garden after
the rodeo to assume control Of
boxing, Samuel L. McQuade will be just
a step behind. Samuel is the man
selected by Johnston to serve as match
maker, Tom McArdle having resigned

Johnston arrives.
McQuade has been associated with
Johnston steadily for the last nine
years and off and on for Is years before
that His name went on the contracts
as matchmaker for other clubs con-
trolled by Johnston In the past.
McQuade has been mixed up with
boxing in one capacity or another for
more than 40 Of hts 81 years. Born in
Greenwich Village, little more than a
stones throw from the birthplace OF
Mayor Walker, Sam naturally turned
to amateur boxing. as all the boys In
the neighnorhood did.
Sam quit throwing leather as an
amateur to handle professional boxers.
For years he was one Of the lieutenants
of the late Leo P. Flynn, who some
times had as high as rs fighters under
his wing. When Flynn was made match
maker In the old Garden he took Sam
with him as one of his assistants. That
was in 1920. Now, II years later, he Is
to take over the position once held by
Flynn.

MURPHY, ONCE CUB
CLUB OWNER, DEAD
Storm Center of Base Ball
20 Years Ago Had Great
Aggregation.

BY the Associated Press.
~ HICAGO. october 17.-Charles
4 webb Murphy, former owner
of the Chicago Cubs, who
boosted he had run shoe
string into a Million" is dead.
Murphy died at his home here late
yesterday, the victim of a stroke Of
apoplexy suffered last June. He was
So years old.
He owned the Cubs during the famous
Tinker to Evers to Chance" days, and
during his eight-year reign, the club
won two world championships, in 1907
and 1908, four National League titles,
finished second twice and third another
two seasons. He was one Of the most
picturesque characters Of the sport, and
often engaged in bitter quarrels with
the powers of organized base ball.
Starting his career as a sports writer
in Cincinnati, Murphy resigned in 1904
to become publicity director for the New
York Giants. While affiliated with
the Giants, he learned the Cubs could
be purchased, and induced the late
Charles p. Taft, former Cincinnati pub
Usher. to advance him $105,000 to buy
the club.
In 1913 Murphy sold his interests
after a storm Of protest, which followed
his dismissal of Frank L. Chance, the
peerless leader" as manager, and later
the firing Of Johnny Evers, who had
succeeded Chance. He engaged Hank
O'Day, veteran umpire, to replace
EverS.
Murphy was reported to have sold
out for the sum of $750000.
Among his other holdings was the
base ball park in Philadelphia. in which
the National League club plays.
He was born in Wilmington, Ohio,
and Is survived by his widow, Mrs.
Louise Murphy. and his father, John
Murphy, Of Wilmington.
