12 NEWS OF THE SPO IfIURPHY IS NOT A FACTOR IN THEJNATIONAL GAME Tener Says Chubby One Is Out of Base ball—Former Owner Has Abso lutely No Voice in Affairs of the Chicago Team New York, Nov. 21. —After an in formal meeting of the Eastern club owners of the National League, held here yesterday to discuss business which will come before the organiza tion at its annual meeting and review the general affairs of the league, Presi dent John K. Tener gave out a state ment in which lie declared that Charles W. Murphy had nothing to do with the Chicago Club so far as the league was concerned. "I do not know what was the finan cial agreement between Mr. Taft and Mr. Murphy when the club changed hands Inst winter," said President Tener, "but 1 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 tho word of Mr. Taft that h ( ' purchased 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 National League and say 'He never was out.' "When a man buys a house anil 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 any more than Mr. Taft is the partner of Mr. Baker, of Philadelphia, because the former leases Mr. Baker his baseball plant. Does that enable Mr. Taft to be affected in an\ way by Sir. Baker's baseball earnings? "It is aiso natural that Mr. T.ift should consult Mr. Murphy on his base ball business, as Murphy originally in terested him in baseball and was for years his partner. As for us, we are perfectly satisfied that Mr. Murphy has nothing to do with the affairs of the Chicago Club." In speaking of the propose,! sale of the Chicago Hub tu Charles Weigh ■nan, owner of the Federal league club in that citv, President Tener said there was nothing in the National League constitution to prevent any club from sclliug its stock to any one who desired to buy, but he added that the Chicago interests did not negotiate with Mr. Weeghinan before finding out whether they were satisfactory to the rest <>f the league. Governor Tener said he could not tell, nor could any one tell, whether there would be peace in baseball dur ing the winter. Those present at the 'meeting be- l>r. K. Harvey Hoof.

FRANK FARRELL REMAINS Ban Johnson, Head of American League, Says President Will Lead New Yorkers Philadelphia, Nov. 21. —''The Amer ican League will have absolutely noth ing to do with the Federal League, the so-called war or plans for peace, and will never take back under any condi tions players who have jumped from any of its clubs," declared President Ban Johnson yesterday. President John- 1 son talked with President Shibe and Manager Connie Mack, of the Athlet ics, and left last night for Chicago. Johnson declined to divulge the na ture of the business which brought him here from New York, where, it is be lieved, lie had a talk with Frank 'Far rail and other stockholders of the New V'ork Americans regarding change of ownership in that club. He said there was nothing new in this matter, but de clared that Frank Farrell would remain at the head of the club. He said 110 action had been taken regarding Wil liam 8. Deverv, who, it was reported, was to be ousted from the club, but said that Deverv was not anxious to go much further in baseball after the past season's experience. He stated that there wore several men anxious to become financially interested in the New York club, but nothing had been done toward making a change. "The Fe.ieral League question is not bothering the American Leigue the least bit," declared President Johnson. "They are head over heels in debt and 1 cannot see how they can carry on their fight. \V e do not want anything to do with either the league or the players in it. "We are informed that every club in the Federal League lost money last season. How much 1 am unable to say, but 1 should think ou an average of from $70,000 to SIOO,OOO each. Their grounds are not paid for and I am told one club is so heavily in debt that there is no possible chance of its clear ing itself. It cost one of the principal backers of the league a half million dollars last year, and I don't believe he wants any more of it." Johnson also stated that it was re ported in Chicago that Weeghman was unable to raise the money ta carry out his part of the merger between tho Federals and the owners of the Cubs and that this was tho reason the deal did not go through. KOGKR ASSIMES DUTIES Will Not Part With Zimmerman or Archer Chicago, Nov. 21. Roger Bresna han, appointed manjger of the Cubs Thursday in < iucuinati by Charles I*. Taft, hopped off a train from the Ohio town yesterday moiu : ng and an hour later had donned tlie managerial har ness and settled himself to the task t of building a championship team for next reason. ''l'll be busv for the next few days getting in touch with the 'boys and in i laying plans for 1915,'' said the now leader "1 think the i. takings of a championship team are there right now. Perhaps there may be a trade or two later on, but it's a bit early to talk of that yet." Bresnahan declared that Heiuie Zim merman will not he traded under any consideration. Bresnahan said the third sacker is one of the greatest play ers in the game, and he would ni>t think of making a deal for him. One of Roger's first moves was to look up Jimmy Archer's contract. He discov ered Archer's signature is attached to a document which has two years yet to run and which does not include a 10-dav clause.

P Ousted Dismukes G Davis IKUST SEEP ROADS IN GOOD CONDITION TO SAVE THEM Counties Vftry Often Find It Easy to Borrow Money for Improving the Highways and Very Difficult to Re pay the Debt Washington, # D. C., Nov. 21. —'While it is frequently easy for a county to issue bonds and borrow money for im proving t'he local highways, the raising of the money to retire those 'bonds at maturity is of* en not so simple. Many counties, in borrowing money for bonds, figure that the amount of money raised represents the total cost of the road, forgetting that the road must be main tained and repaired if, at the end of the term of the bonds, the county is to havy anything to show for its invest ment. The question of financing country road building is discussed fully in De partment of Agriculture Bulletin No. 136, entitled "Highway Bonds," which is written by the Office of Public Roads in collaboration with James W. Glover, professor of mathematics and insur ance, University of Michigan. In this bulletin tho authors discuss fully the various methods of financing road build ing and retiring debts for road con struction, and also deal frankly with the actual cost of a road during the life of the 'bonds. On the total cost of a road the authors cite the following two examples as affording at least a basis for estimating the total minimum cost of a mile of road 'built with 20- year bonds: Bituminous-macadam—Cost of con struction ($10,500) under 5 per cent, serial bond, with interets for 20 years, $10,012.50; cost of annual repair and maintenance ($600) for 20 years, $12,- 000; total cost for 20 vears, $28,- 012.50. Brick—'Cost of construction ($lB,- 500) under 5 per cent, serial bond, with interest for 20 years, $26,426.73; cost of annual repair and maintenance ($300) for 20 years, $0,000; total cost for 20 years, $32,426.73. Tlie authors point out that the actual cost of building and maintaining a spe (iiic highway can be determine I only after the character and volume of traf fic and actual wear and tear liave be?n studied for a series of years. The lig ures quoted above, of course, will not aioly to ordinary macadam, gravel or clay roads, but in all these cases tho interest on tho bonds must be met, and there must be expenditures to maintain them iu condition. The poorer tho drainage and the less permanent the character of the road foundation, the greater must be the percentage that repair costs will bear t.o the lifts cost. 'Similarly the question of whether tlie actual surfacing is designed to with stand t'he character of traffic and weath er to which it is subjected also has ail important bearing on what it will cost the county to keep the road in sueli shape that when the bon Is are [aid the locality sti 11 will have a val- I.J'OIO property to sho* AS a result of its borrowing anil repayment.
