Announcement of the fact was made by Jawn recently snd judging from thd plans already outlined the fans of this city are in for a treat the equal of which has nev- er been seen on the local pasture. Every baseball fan in town from the oldest down to the youngest knows of Danny Murphy and his many feats in the big leagues. Not a few remember the day he broke into big league ball as a member of Connie Mack’s Athle- tics years ago and on the old Hunt- ington Avenue grounds in Boston laced six hits off the delivery of Cy Young, considered by many the greatest pitch- er of his day. Murphy one of Fall River's sons, like Larry Lajoie is an idol with the base- ball fans there. The Pianters will opposs the Cham- plons at the Rocky Thursday. Only one more chance to see the Murphy crowd In action after this afternoon. BELL-ANS Absolutely” Removes Indigestion. Onepackage provesit. 25cat all druggists.! LEGAL NOTICES.

The first heat was marred by numerous attempts to start, the fleld scoring at least fifteen times.

Many issues went under the low points of the re- cent setbacks, and in some Instances the lowest prices In & number of years were reached. Trading increased sub- tantially, the total sales amounting to $11.000. Although there was mo outstanding feature of the situation to account for the weakness displayed by the mar- Ket, the disturbances in Russia played a Considerable part in shaping senti- ment. The Petrograd. cables were fol- lowed closely in the street; and traders hesitated to make commiitments on the long side under th:e present un- settled conditions. Russfan bonds suf- fered a further relapse and the rate for rubles was depressed abruptly to a new low record to 11 1-2 cents, com- pared with about 52 in normal times There was a late recovery to 14 1-4 Bear traders operated confidently, meeting with little opposition most of the day. Greater significance. how- ever, was attached to the selling of conservative investment fssues which ordinar{ly are not associated ; with speculative manoeuvers. The lack of support of such stocks as these and the extent of their declines on com- paratively small offerinzs undermined the market after a stendy onenine, and prompted more genoral selling The movement gathered momentum in the afternoon, but the low level final- | ased | In the last hour the list re- | inc; 1y reached brought out an demand. bounded sharply. regaining a co erable amount of the ground lost.

Harry Weaver, rated as quite the best of the fine’ collection of Murlln pitchers, has joined the Chicazo Na- tionals 16 whom he was: sold severa. weeks ago by Owner Collins. Harry comes from Philadelphia and was the coach of the Niagara university nine carly last spring. Last year. he was tried out by the Boston Red. Sox but cventually linded. in New. Haven. He was_beaten only a/ few this summer. Rollfe Naylor is another pitcher de- serving of much in the way_of hon orable mention.. He came to New Ha- veén after the season opened but im- diately made good. He was with the Athletics a year ago and it is expect- Cd that he will be drafted svon by e majors. Recently he was drawn for the ne ‘my in his home ' town of Ardmore, Okla., but took his exams in West Haven and passed with a rat- ing_of 100. d Frank Woodward, the New Haven boy, who nitched in the Panama Canal Zone all of last winter, proved a real find for the club. A product of the jocal sand lots, under the tutelage of Murphy he has gone ahead with rapil strides. Fred Walker, who used to pitch for New Haven during the Colonial league Qays, was taken on by the Murlins several weeks after they had gotten under way, but he has proved a won- derful asse: since his advent. Walker is a ‘college boy and formerly played baseball and football at the University of Chicago. He played a position I the backfield on one of the Windy City elevens, on which Hugo Bezdek, the Pirate manager, played center. Harry Donovan, 'the “other hurler, was dug up by Murphy last season while the club was down east on a trip. . Donovan pitched in the In rial league in his home town of Law rence, Mass. and he was.signed after the New Haven manager had seen him work out. He didn’t go. very weil last season but bas had a better time this year. Mickey Devine, behind the bat, proved the same reliable backstop thai he did last year. Mickey joined the world’s champlons on their spring training trip this year and was kept by the Boston management umtil. the opening of the season. Devine has proved a ‘valuable man and his ag- gressiveness and spirit and pep have Peen noficeable in every game. _Mickey Flaherty, who used to play in Springfield and Tater in Bridgeport, was acquired by the New ilaven man- agement from the Marlin shop team in New Haven. Flaherty hasn't had much to do because Devine proved so reliable, but Collins retained him to the énd in case of emergency- Moose Miller is the same, first sacl er whe played on® the championship club of five’ vears,ago and the same £00d’ natured” player who has alwavs worked so_hard for New Fuven club interests. ‘Fe Is one of the most v. uable. inflelders New Haven' has ev had and-certaimly one of the best first sacRers who has ever plaved on the Prairfes 4 § Xeal Ball, former Yankee and Cleve- lane, Nap, although not as spry as he used' fo be, nevertheless with his sreat head for baseball and abflity fo stage some real inside diamond stuff proved o great 'steadier for.the team at his piace @t second.
