TAFTVILLE SWAMPED NEW LONDON Whalers Badly Beaten by the Score of 28Y, to 4—Murphy Individuel Performer of the Game—G. Noble Was the Mainstay of the New London Team. The New London basketball team met with quite a beating Wednesday night in Taftville. The Whalers put up a very poor game, their passing and basket shoeting was poor. The ame ali the way throwsh was loosely ‘play- | ©ed and all one-sided: At all stages of the game Wafiville simply carvicd the Whalers off their feet. Murphy, the steady ferward, with his teammat White, did the heavy shooting of game. Murphy got nine te White's cight basiets. Sianley at center se- cured seven baskets. Jackson not enly held his man but shot four baskets. George Neoble for the visitors was the whole show, heiped by his brother, J Voble, did ihe work for the Whalers.

Evers Is inclined to believe | that he is a free agent; Charles W.| Murphy of the Cubs declares that he | is the property of the Boston Nation- | als, and the National leagua is on rec. ord as scting in the capacity of guard- fan to the peppery second baseman. This complicated sitnation develop- | | seph Tinker, manager of the Chicago | ers, is speeding to this city at the or- | ed as the result of Murphy's aciion in niring Henry U'Day as manager of the Cubs before he legally released.Evers from the same position. At a special meetlng of the board of directors and the National league as a whole, that body of magnates decided that Evers had not resigned, as contended by M and that his f year contract \s manager and player was valid and binding. The league further agreed to ‘ake over all rights and responsibili- lies under the contract, thus helping phy out of an embarrassing posi- The Boston club immediately entered nte a contract with Murphy to trade Infielder W. J. Sweeney and Pitcher Hub Perdue for Evers, but the latter declared that he would not be a party ‘o the contract. He insisted that un- less arrangements acceplable to him were made he would sign with the Federal league, which, he stated, had made him a liberal propoxition for three years of piay, including a cash bonus to be delivered upon the signing of a contract. Ivers stated emphatically that he had no grievaice against the Boston club, or the Natlonal league as a whole, and in fact told President James E, Gaffney of the Bostons that he would rather play with that team than the Federals. His refusal to be a party to the deal, he declared, was | because of the fact that if the trade were effected, Murphy, against whom he is extremely bitter, would secure two valuable players, thus profiting by the move, something that Evers is de- termined he should not do. _ The Boston club exnressed its will- ingness to assume the full provisions of Evers' two contracts, which call for | a total payment of $10,000 a year, with four years yet to run. As player he received $6,000 from the Chicago club and $4,000 additional as manager.

With a holiday st hand and in the ab- ! sence of new incentives for taking & | position one way or the other, profes- sional traders were inclined to c tract their operations. Early day there was & general advance,which reached fair proportions in some cases, | but in the late session gains were scal- ed down until, at the close, net changes In most cases were of no sig- nificance.

Rock Island issues were steady and Mercan- tile Marine securities made up part of their severe losses of the week.

London traded in less than 10,000 shares here, closely divided between purchases and sales.
