THE WASHINGTON TIMES THURSDAY DECEMBER 3 1908 10 Their Use of National Guard Name Confusing to Amateurs MURPHYS PLAINT- IS UNAVAILING National Commission Will Go Right Ahead in Ticket Scalping Case By THOMAS S RICE There to b d on MM moon in Wash- ington amateur athletic circles because the National Guards twwe both ft ama- teur aM H professional basketball team In the field President Ttteedore Straus of the South Atlantic Association of the Ama- teur Athletic Union hi coming to Wash- ington thte week to took into the mat- ter and will put some pertinent ques- tion to the military managers The trouble seems to he largely due to the tart that when the professional team was oravnliM it was allowed to uw the name National Guard as an adver- tisement Had the team been composed guardsmen but playing under a name that would not contuse it with tilt amateur quint of the same or- ganization it is hardly likely that there would have boss a chance for the A A V to get busy There to no reason why- a militiaman should not engage in as many professional sports as he chooses and the A A U would be foolish to in- terfere with that privilege but it is that seeming active support of the pro- fessionals which is causing President Straus so much mental stress Ban Johnson comes right back at Charlay Murphy of the Chicago Cubs and announces that Murphys windy howl about his club being the victim of persecution in the tkket scalping matter will not in the least prevent the rational commission trom fanning the aforesaid Murphy As far a can be learned from the unofficial statement about what the commission found in its investigation the cwner is due for a severe roast and if the charges are sustained there will no 7npathy coming to any of those in- volved It was a bad piece of busraes all around and the warning not to re- peat the trick should be driven home as forceful as possible The real truth about Hal Chase is tifflcult to obtain because of the bias ot some of the New York writers who are furnishing the storks Last spring ch m the New York Americans led the league for awhile these writers got oil n lot of gush about them being the fastest teem in the history or baseball Ihe critics and writers In other cities l ughed heartily at such vaporings and kidded the New York scribes not e little All of a sudden the club hit the toboggan and in a short time wa so deep in the cellar that rescue parli i could not find it When the tad slunni became a continuous performance the busy pencilers of who had been so fulsome in their boosts for the Yankees felt foolish and looked that nay Thereupon they began throwing the hooks into Griffith Elberfeld Chase aid everybody else in an effort square themselves That the animoslt against Chase and Elberfeld remains is THrefelljr clear In many of the dis- patches and New York clipping jo you cWt tell exactly what to believe TO mere provincials like us down hern- In Washington it would appear that tle national commission would be nothing but an expensive jest if Chase were allowed to return to organised baseball without heavy punishment of some sort He quit his team cold in tile height of the season jumped hi agreement and went to play with an outlaw team on the Pacific coast If lie can get away with that for a nomi- nal line the decisions of Garry Herr manns court will not be worth news- paper space in the future ANOTHER GRIFFITH RUMOR IS ABAOAD This Time He Is to Manage Brooklyn National League Team NhW YORK lCUxrk Griffith former manager f New York Americans to now slated to manage the Brooklyn National League team D xt seasun Although neither President C H Eb- b ts f Ute club from across the East river H T the Old Fox would con- firm tha report in circulation about the latter being the next leader of the Dodgers friends of both were around town only too willing to wager that Griff to going to remain right in York this coming season There to only one thing in the way of Grin being next manager of the Brook- lyn team That to that Gbbets will give Wild Bill Dahlen the position If President George Dovey of the Boa ten Nationals turns him over to Eb bets as the latter claims he promised to do as the of the board of directors of the National League In Cin last September the pro- tected GiantsCubs game ws settled Hut to reports from Boston I jblen does not want to manage the Dodgers
