SOLAR PLEXUS BLOW
FROM NATIONAL HEAD
Governor John K. Tener Says
Charles W. Murphy Is Not
in Baseball
Special to The Telegraph
New York, Nov. 21.—Another solar
plexus blow was handed to baseball
peace disturbers yesterday. Governor
John K. Tener, president of the Na
tional league, delivered the blow when
he announced that Charles W. Mur
phy, of the Chicago Cubs, was no
longer identified with National League
baseball. The statement was made at
the close of a meeting of Eastern
League owners. Governor Tener said:
"I do not know what was the finan
cial agreement between Mr. Taft and
Mr. Murphy when the club changed
hands last winter, - ' said President
Tener, "but I do know that from that
time on Mr. Murphy has had nothing
whatever to do with the league, either
by word, letter or otherwise.
"We have the word of Mr. Taft that
he put-chased Mr. Murphy's stock in
the Chicago club, and although Mr.
Murphy may have again cropped into
the public prints, there is no reason
why people should sneer and think
they have an excellent joke on the Na
tional League and say 'He never was
out.'
"When a man buys a house and the
former owner takes a mortgage on the
property no one can say that the pur
chaser is not the owner. It is true Mr.
Murphy owns some of the realty of the
Chicago National League club, but
does that make him a partner in the
Chicago club."
Iu speaking of the proposed sale of
the Chicago club to Charles Weegh
man, owner of the Federal League
club in that city. President Tener said
there was nothing in the Nationul
League cbnstitution to prevent any
club from selling its stock to any one
f who desired to buy.
Goyernpr Tenex said he could not
tell, nor cotlld any one tell, whether
there would be peace in baseball dur
ing the winter.

sition at Steelton
With an overflow of grit and brimful
of spirit,' the Central Higji squad left
this morning for Wilkes-Barre. A vic
tory for Central is the hope of Central
High officials and players. Winning
to-day's game would make Central a
strong favorite for the Thanksgiving

No one who has seen Central at*
work denies that Coach Paul Smith
has material. Things broke badly for
the varsity eleven on many occasions.
Accidents put players out of the game
and Central lost an opportunity In not
having a stronger schedule.
Interest in Harrisburg to-day was in
the Tech-Steelton game at Island Park.
Both elevens finished a week of hard
practice yesterday. Steelton is anxious
to get revenge, for the former defeat
at the hands of Tech.' The local eleven
is just as anxious to keep up its good
work and add another victory. The
weather was ideal for a football game.
The Tech band was out early and
helped to boost the game. The teams
lined up as follows:
Tech. High. Steeltoh.

from the Connecticut hills. Jt was
snapping cold and the ground in the
bowl was like asphalt early in the day.

ing the crowd to New Haven. The
gathering of so great a multitude,
numbering nearly two full army corps,
occupied practically three days, vet
nine-tenths of those who came planned
to leave within a Tew hours after the
