MAGNATES UP II TREE;
MURPHY IS SICK
Cannot Take Up Case Today Un
less President Tener As
sumes Responsibility
Special to The Telegraph
Cincinnati, Ohio, Feb. 21.—Presi
dent John K. Tcner, of the National
league, and other magnates are here
for a conference in the case against
Charles W. Murphy, president of the
Chicago Nationals, but what the out
come will be is a question, as Murphy
will not be present, owing to an attack
of lumbago.
In the opinion of those present., it
would be folly to go ahead without
Murphy, as well as unfair.
The news that President Murphy,"
of the Chicago Nationals, would not
be able to attend proved quite an
upset to Herrmann. "I don't know
Just what we can do or what we shall
do." he exclaimed. Of course, it is
neither right nor legal to touch on any
affairs of Mr. Murphy in his absence,
and since Governor Tener has not yet
arrived the situation is perplexing.
Still I have great confidence in Tener.
I firmly believe that he has found a
solution of all existing problems, with
out prejudice or injustice to anybody,
and that he will to-morrow present a
decision which will be acceptable to
all of us, oven to Mr. Murphy, should
that gentleman be unable to attend.
If Tener has not yet reached a de
cision, however, I am unable to say
what can be done—whether the meet
ing would have to be postponed oi
carried on just the same."
A serious attack of lumbago will
prevent the attendance of Charles W.
Murphy, the Chicago Nationals' presi
dent, at to-day's meeting. This was
announced by his secretary, Charles
Thomas, who said President Murphy,
who has been suffering from lumbago
for some time, had found it necessary
to leave his downtown office and go to
his homo.
The meeting at Cincinnati, it is
thought, will concern the Chicago Na
tionals vitally, the transfer of Sweeney
and Perdue from Boston to the Cubs
being on the program for consid
eration. The Chicago club probably
will be represented by Charles P. Taft.
of Cincinnati, who is understood to be
a large stockholder in the club.

SATURDAY EVENING,
Houck's First Battle
Takes Place Monday;

Harrisburg fight fans are manifest
ing much interest in Leo Houck's first
tight on the Pacific Coast. The Lan
caster lad will meet Bill Murray next
Monday at San Francisco. The winner

looking after Houck's interests, has |
received an offer from an Australian
promoter offering Leo Ilouck five
fights in Australia at $1,400 for each
fight. MeGuigan is thinking over the

Philadelphia, Feb. 20.—Mack vet
erans and "rookies" will not want for
exhibition games against warring clans
during the time they bask and limber
up under a Southern sun. According:
to the list of battles listed on the
Athletics' schedule for the trip
through the warm belt the Mackmen
will engage in forty-five contests, not
counting the pair to be played here
with the University of Pennsylvania,
the nine interleague conflicts with the
Pbils and the two games scheduled
with the Brooklyn National League
club over in Brooklyn on April 8
and 9.
The bulk of the work will fall upon
the shoulders of the ever-willing and

for regular Jobs. The "rookies" who
get away for Jacksonville, Florida,
next Tuesday morning via train to
New York, thence boat to the land of|
oranges and flowers, have a seven-
