Both questions were expected to furnish no small amount of work. It was realized that Murphy and Taft, with about $700,000 (valuation approximated) worth of Chicago Na tional league stock in their pos3ession, would be difficult personages to extin guish. After the fiasco of last year when the National leaguers solemnly announced Murphy's extinction and the latter recently bobbed" up with great handfuls of Jub stock, the mag nates were determined to settle the question, this time fairly and openly, for all time. There was plenty of talk about the Waldorf corridors, and in other spots that are not so dry, that Murphy must go some time and it might as well be now. The gossip was that the magnates might compro mise by ridding the league of Murphy In soma way, and making no fight on Taft, who, toy the way, has a pretty strong following in the league. As to the interment planned for the Federals, even more trouble is expect ed. Despite the fact that the league has been pronounced dead for over a year, there were evidences of life re maining in the corpse today In the shapo of Fed scouts who haunted the Waldorf to entrap and ensnare any of the meandering baseball players who were flocking about the National league magnates in droves, as they league magnates in droves, as tney always do on these yearly gala ght, refused absolutely to be quoted, warfare to wbieh the American league en on the weather.
