MURPHY IS KEPT VERY BUSY President of Chicago National League Club Hits on Unique Plan to Secure Recruits. "Almost every mall brings me let ters tolling of some undiscovered won der," said President Charles W. Mur phy of the Cubs, who recently hit up on the most unique ,nn ever attempt ed to recruit young ball players and today has 3,000 fans working for him. The plan of the Cub president is as simple as it Is unique. He wrote a personal letter to these 3,000 fans requesting them to forward Krf rw l-- PAID $12,000 FOR RUSSELL?

VETERANS OUT CF AMERICAN Elmer Flick Latest of Old Timers In Ban Johnson's League to Drift Into the Minors. Only a few days ago Elmer Fllrk, one of the veterans of the American leugue, was sold by the Cleveland club to the Kansas City club of the Ameri can association, calling to mind the fact that for several years the Ban Johnson organization has been weed ing out the veterans, until today there are very few originals left in the Amer ican league ranks. New blood has gradually but surely been taking the place of meu who were in their time among the most fa mous In the business. Of those who wero lu the American league when It dropped the name or Western league.

Topay Hart soli of the Athletle4 and Kid, Conroy of the Washlngtons. It was In 1901 that the American league got its big boost. The an nouncement that Jimmy Collins of Boston, Napoleon Lajoie of Philadel phia, Joe McGlnnlty of Brooklyn and Clark' Orlffltb of Cbloago bad Jumped from the National league to the young er organization caused a big stir. Of these only Lajoie remains In the league.

JUMP STARTED "ART" H0FMAN Started In Baseball to Reach Some Othor profitable Business George Huff Pound Him. Dy ARTHUR HOFMAN. I always played ball for the pleas ure of It until I saw that there was a chance for me to get Into fast com pany and make a better salary than I could as a bank clerk. Also I de cided early In my career that baseball was tho best means for me to reach some other profitable business. I started playing ball with my broth ers and the neighbor boys around St Louis and Joined a wernl-professlonal team before I vns sixteen. That led me to a Job l:i a bank, which main tained a baseball team. I noticed that I received more attention and was more thought of because t whs a good ball player anil decided to become n better one. I had no Idea of devoting all my tlmo to the game. I played Saturdays. Sundays and holidays and worked la the bank the rest of the time. I got Into tho Trolley league and played good ball, but nover had an Idea of becoming a big leaguer. . 1 was getting $10 a game for play ing, with a proviso that. If weather did not permit the game to be played, I got nothing. One 'day we were playing in East St. Louis and the river rose suddenly and swamped the ground. I wanted the $10 and claimed the weather did not prevent the game because the sun was shining. The management kicked and I Jumped. It was that jump which made me In baseball. I went to Alton and there was discovered. Pittsburg got me, but they put me on the bench and I never f I "Art" Hofman. was a good bench player. Pittsburg never gave me a chance but sent me back to the minors and finally George Huff found me and brought me to Chi cago. There I had a lot of trouble un til Selee left tho team. That shows how lucky a player. may be. If Sales had stayed with the team I probably never would have been beard from. He did not think I could play ball and wanted to let me go. Chance, bow ever, had confidence In me and I think Chance's confidence did more to make me a ball player than anything else. I felt that he was risking his own repu tation on me and wanted to make good for him as well as for myself. ' It la that confidence, ono In another, that has helped make the Cubs a great ball club. A young player Just start ing In the business should think first whether he fits into a team and is In sympathy with It, and seek a berth with some club he likes and feels will like him. Frnnk Sparks, the old time Phlllle pitcher, is making good as a Southern league pitcher. "Texas" Covington of the Evansvllle baseball team. of the Central league has been sold to the Detroit Tigers for $1,500. Jlmmle Doyle of the Louisville team has been purchased by the Cubs. He will not report until the end of the American association season. President Comlskey dons not think Meloan will lose his batting eye as the result of being rapped on the coco by that "bean" ball the other day. Down at Areola. III.. Ernest McDow ell pitched a perfect game against Lovlngton, allowing no hits, no runs, and no base on balls. Areola won over Lovlngton, 3 td 0. Arrangements have practically been completed for a post season series between the two NVv York clubs at the end of tho regular baseball sea son. There la a lot of rivalry between tho clubs. Happy Smith, who Jumped the Brooklyn team recently, has been lo cated In the outlaw Pacific Coast league. He quit the Sitperbas because he was In love wKh a girl In the far west, it Is rumored. The Sr.n Francisco and Oakland teams are fighting it out for tbS pen nant in tho Pacific Coast league. It Is the first time Oakland has been In the running for years and Harry Wolver ton Is getting all kinds of praise from the fans across the bay. Manager Jennings predicts that the Athletics arc sure to bare a slump. "Every team ha Its slumps. We have had ours and the Philadelphia men are bound to have theirs. Our men are rounding to form and will be go ing right in a few days, for they are hitting the ball hard again. 7 am satisfied with my men at they are." Mike Kelly, manager 'of the St. Paul team of the American association, was In Chicago tho other day. Mike say he Is golug to try to have some law passed to Gtop the big league castoff from "coming back" hereafter.
