Brother of former President Taft
performed a good service for the Na

terest of Charles W. Murphy in the
Cubs of Chicago. Thus Murphy, to
whom most of the National League
club ,owners and many in the Ameri
can League objected on the ground
that he was a disturber in organized
baseball, was quickly eliminated.
Mr. Taft already owned a large
share of the Cubs, having staked Mur
phy to buy the club many years ago'.
Murphy himself has said his own
share was 53 per cent, and that Mr.
Taft paid him on a basis of a value
of more than $1,000,000 for all the
stock.

Eastern League Basketba'l
Is Impossible in Harrisburg
There May Be a New Circuit Formed With Six or Eight
Good Towns; Plans to Be Taken Up at an Early Date
An Eastern league basketball team
In Harrisburg is out of the question
for several reasons, but the formation
of a leaguo here Is believed to be a
certainty early next Fall.
Harrisburg would have to arrange
for a seating capacity of at least 1,500,
to make Eastern league basketball a
paying enterprise in this city.
Furthermore, it is said, there is no
likelihood that a vacancy will occur
This Man a Samson;
Can Lift a Street Car
Marion, Ohio, Feb. 28. Walter
Hutchinson, the big young pitcher
signed by Frank Chance of the New
York Americans, will be the strongest
twlrler physically In the major leagues
the coming season if he still retains
the phenomenal strength he displayed
here when he was a raw recruit with
the Marion Diggers in the Ohio State
League club. Hutchinson could lift
one end of a street car without much
effort, apparently. He also could lift
the hind quarters of a horse with the j
ease that a blacksmith pick up an ani
mal's hoof to shoe it. Edward C.
Staiger, a director In the old local Ohio
State League club, says he has seen
Hutchinson perform both of these
feats of strength.
"If Rube Hutchinson could ever
learn to control his delivery he could
be the world's greatest pitcher," Staig
er declared. "Jack Taylor's protege
| stands six feet and one inch. He's a
i blacksmith by trade and strong as an
! ox. When he played with Marion he
j was more verdant than paris green,
but mighty proud of his strength. The
I boys used to kid him about it and get j
j him to lifting. That's how he happen-1
ied to life one end of a street car,
j standing out on a siding at the ball;
park one day. I saw him take a horse
j at the fire department and life it clear
! up so it almost stood on his head.
| "Rube Hutchinson has a world of
I speed and curves with it. If he ever
| gets control he'll burn up the Ameri
-1 can League."

Hassett Boys Won;
Result Is Disputed
< >fficial records of last night's game
between the Hassett five and the Alt.
Washington Lyceum tossers, of Pitts
burgh, show a score of 32 to 32.
This result was vigorously questioned
by Manager Burke, of the Pittsburgh
team, who says the referee blew his
whistle to close the game before the
final Hassett goal was tossed by Sour
bier, which would have made the
score 32 to 30, in favor ol' Pittsburgh.
Manager Burke went home much
displeased following an offer to play
the game over on any neutral floor
for a purse varying from SSO to SIOO,
with an Eastern League official as
rel'eree. The timekeeper denies that
he blew the whistle on the final goal.
The Forney Grammar School girls
played a remarkable game, winning
from the Lincoln Grammar girls;
score. 13 to 12. Kathleen Robinson
was the star of the Forney team.

The mayor had charged the four
