Last vear in a ten club league he finished at the top of the second division This year with but elght clubs In the circuit it's the boast of his friends in this city that he fin- ishes even better and that he forces Gene McCann ,manager of the mill- ionatre ball club over in New London, to go some to repeat his win of last ¥ Banny dropped out of major league ball at the end of the 1913 geason. The following year found him with the Federal league, where for a time he Was menager of the Brooklyn team, a position Into which John Ganzel later stepped. Even with the Feds he con- tinued s a hitting flend, for his aver- age with the Brooklyn club was well over the .300 mark. Folks in Norwich and all over New England and major league baseball circles are exceptionally well ac- quainted with Danny Murphy's career on the diamond. They recall _that early in life he worked in the mills in Olneyville, R. I, for the munificyt salary of $2.35 a week. All the whie he played ball in the lots down home and developed into a fairly well fin- ished inflelder and a whale of a hit- ter. They recall that when Napoleon LaLjole went from the Fall River New England league team to the Phillies that Danny stepped into his berth With the Mill City bunch. In 1898 he ven- tured into North Attleboro to play, and on making good moved up to the Nor- wich club of the Connecticut league. ‘Then it was a couple of years later that Danny recelved his first chance with the majors. The Glants bought his contract, but after a tryout turned him back as a trifie green for the big show. It Jooked then as though he were done, and he passed up a great chance to sign with the Boston club of the then youthful league. Still be- ing anxious to return to the Giants, Danny refused to sign with the club that subsequently became the Red in a Poston hospital when the opportunity came his way, and on recovering returned to Norwich to play. Connie Mack having learned that the Giants had passed Murphy up, stopped off at Norwich on July 7, 1802, saw him play a game, signed him up immediately after the game was over and took him to Boston to start his real big show career. And what a start it was! Fans who saw the Athletics play that day_and were fortunate enough to recall Mur- phy, etill talk about the upstart who clouted the old onion safely six times in six trips to the plate. and on one of those trips belted the offerings of Den- ton Tecumseh Young for four sacks. All that happened at the old Hunting- New Haven Club Under Murphy Will be a Strong Contend- el N ton avenue ball yard. Of his six hits that afternoon, July 8, 1902, to be exact, four were singles, one & double and the other the four ply clout. . From that minute on thers wasn't a question as to his sticking in the big show. Connie was hailed far and wide as being the astute judge who had once more gathered in a star, with one 100k, who had been passed another major league manager. that day untll the coming of Eddle Collins into the $100,000 infield Danny Murphy was an i star with the Macks. Once more, to revert a trifle into th realms of anclent history, we'll tell the world that Connie made futile efforts to make Collins, a lad fresh from Co- lumbla college, into an outflelder. And we'll pause to say that he failed di: mally at that task. Thus it was that Danny stepped from the inner work: to the outer garden, there to star for several more seasons. And it wasnt until along in 1913, when his legs began to bother him, that he displayed signs of slipping. For more than ten years he had been a star and had played ball on five cham- plonship teams. In his initial vear, 1902, he clouted the pill for .313. ~The next championship came in 1305, when his hitting fell off to .278. Then came .300 even in 1910 and .329 in 1911. In 1913, though forced to remain idle for 2 goodly portion of the year, he clout- ed .322 in 40 games. Thus it can be seen that his grand average for the five champlonship teams he plaved on was .30, Danny’s career in the big show easi- 1y netted him in excess of $45,000, and added to that one can safely credit him with a few more made in the Feds and then top it off with his earnings in the Fastern league. By and large any way one looks at Murphy’s base- ball career he can’t help but feel that he made good. And by the same token folks in Norwich claim he has made g00d In business and will always con- tinue to do so. Murphy is a married man and has resided in Norwich for more than 20 years. Each fall, however, he finds time to step away from his business cares and home ties for a long enouzh time to get in a little hunting. Then when the fish are biting good he's al- ways got time enough to make use of the several fine fishing rods that have been given him at one time or an- other. Danny’s strong for old Ireland, and can ays be found at an A. O. H. celebration when he has the time. In addition he belongs to the Foresters, Elks. Fagies and Bastern Connecticut Chamber of Commerce. College Baseball. At Boston: Boston College 2; Mid- dlebury College 2 (13 ihnings.) MARKET CLOSED STRO G On a Calmer Survey of the Govern- ment’s Taxation Policy. New York, May 10—A calmer sur- vey of the government’s taxation poli cy, the highly prosperous industrial conditions indicated by the United States Steel Corporation’s record- breaking tonnage report for April, ac- companied by further advances in fabricated iron and steel and the re- celpt of more foreign gold were among the factors which caused pro- fessional Wall Street to revise its market estimates toda. Leading stocks opened at gains, fell irregular back before noon to_lev- els well under final prices of the previous day, but bounded briskly forward in the last hour. Mich of today’s improvement was again effected at the expense of the short interest which felt impelled to cover on rumors of “good news” from Washington. The character of this news did not develop in the course of the session. U. S. Steel closed at 116, a net gain of 1 1-2 points and within a fraction of its top price of the past week. Af- filiated equipments and _munitions were 1 1-2 to 2 1-2 points higher, not- ably Lackawanna, Crucible and Re- public Steele. Oils, motors and some of the metals gained cne to two points, Industrial Aicohol made an extreme advance of three points and shippings rose an average of a point. Utllitles were released from their recent pressure, Brooklyn Transit recovering 3 1-Z points and other local tractions one to 1 1-2, with materiai rallies in_Ohio Gas and Consolidated Gas of Balti- more. Delaware and Hudson made further response to the improved outlook for that property, advancing 3 _points to 114. Union Pacific held the greater part of its 2 5-3 point rise on main- tenance of the “extra” dividend and other leaders of that division made more modsrate gams. Tota 1 sales amounted to 560,000 shares. Adverse features of the day includ- ed a new low rate of rubles and a decision against higher lake znd rail rates to southeastern points. Bonds jfollowed the course of stocks, some |raflway issues scoring sharp rallies. Total sales ( par value) aggregated $3.250,020.

BROWN PLANNING FOR ROWING SEASON. Arrangements Being Made for Boat- house on Sekenk River. Had' not war occurred to interfere, Brown would have gone in for rowing thie spring, says the New York Post. For a year or two the success of Princeton in conducting aquatics at comparatively small cost had inter- ested Brown alumni, and there was a general feeling that the Providence university should be represented not only in intercollegiate boat ra%es but that_opportunity for intramural sport on the water should be opened to the students. Dr. F. W. Marvel, the athletic di- rector, had gone so far as to make arrangements for the use of a boat- house on the Sekonk river, where Brown crews of an older day rowed, and it had been planned to put two shells into commission for spring row- ing. The idea was to proceed slowly, as Princeton did, making aquatics in’the first few years a pastime for the un- dergraduates, with no effort to form a crew for outside racing. But this, of course, would have come later. It is absolutely certain that the end of the war will see the carrying out of the echeme. Rowing need not be an expensive sport: it is only when a university goes in for highly paid coaches, training camps on _some course outside college environment and the like, that the cost of maintaining the sport rises to formidable figures. and children ? most laymen ?
