When Joe (Reds) Murphy of
the Forestville team in the Old
Dominion League got beaned last
Sunday it marked the first
serious injury he's suffered in
some % years of baseball.
Murphy, a fullback at George
town in 1867 and the follow
ing year an infielder with the
Senators farm team at Char
lotte, received a cut over his left
eye that required II stitches
when hit by a fast ball that got
away from highlander Guy
Brill of Colonial Restaurant.
II saw the pitch all right"
Murphy recounted. land thought
I stepped far enough out Of the
box to get away from 1t but either
I didn't step far enough or soon
enough. One thing I'm sure of
though. I got a king-size head
ache out of it."
Murphy was X-rayed yester-
day at Arlington Hospital and
fortunately no fracture was re-
j. vealsd. However. the peppery
redhead will miss today's game
between Silver Hill and Federal
Storage in the Industrial League
and very likely Sundays game
between Forestville and Atchison
q Keller.
BY coincidence, Murphy was
playing against the team that he
managed to the Old Dominion|
championship last year. This
season he is playing second base
for Forestville on Sundays and
