OT only has Charley Murphy re- fused to help out in the efforts at peace with the Feds, but he bas started other players leaning toward an outlaw organisation by the sudden tossing aside of Johnny Evers for Hank O'Day. Charley, it is admitted, has the right to select any! manager ho pleases, but there are other ways of making changes than sending Evers out to round vp the Cub contracts and then slip him the double-cross while he is working night and day on what he thinks a mission of loyalty, Murphy's only excuse for putting Evers out of business ts that O'Day js an older man and that Johnny asked for a new form of contract to prove that he was a manager. At the end of last season Murphy de- clared that ho was tenmensely pleased with the Seewing Ped by Evers, and Rot so long @ pulled this: “There may be somo players who wilh jut to another league, but Johnny Hvere isn't that kind. You can always rely on his loyalt; @ rew for this loyalty, C. Webb simply takes Evers by the rpg! of the neck and hurls him out ofa som which woukl indicate that loyalty is another matter when ap- plied to the employers. RUMORED THAT EV ENT TOO MUCH MONEY. “The trouble started last fall," says “when, after the post-season hicago, Mrs. Evers and I dined with Mr. and Mra, Jimmy Callaban and joined them at a theatre party. Murphy didn’t approve of me being with Callahan, socially, because he was manager of the opposing team. ‘sia: Suly 1 Bept. 8, 10, 11 With Bosten Sapt.20; Oct. ‘With @t.
