Locke takes charge of aft airs at Broad
and Huntingdon btreeta.
It is just ten years since the Phillies
first became tainted with synd'icate
ball It was in 1PP; that the American
League, had Its old rival, the National. |
on its hip. In the hour of triumph!
Ban Johnson and his associates had no!
desire to crush th? ir rival. There were
certain men in the National League
that they deaSred to drive into retire?
ment, but they warned to see two
eight-club leagues in the big cities, j
The flag of truce had been waved and
ttrras of peace had been proposed and
accepted. B? fore the papers could be
signed it w.is found that the Phillies
were in a bad plight financially. Harry
Pulliam. who had graduated frem the
secretaryship of fh< Pittsburgh, club
into the presidency of the National
League, went to work to secure pur?
chasers for the club. Pull'am got
Jarms Potter to start negotiations for
tbe club. The latter secured an op?
tion on the Phillies.
Several subscriber-., all of whom were
members of the Racquet Club of thi*
city, were obtained. Despite this. It
looked as if the deal could not he
put through Then l'ulllam called to
his nid his termer employer, Prestdi n;
??racy Dreyfnss of P^tsburgh. Drey
fuss came here and worked nicht and
day with the local promoters. Twenty
four hours before tme was :ip on the
option it looked as if the Potter syn?
dicate would fail Then It was that
Pulliam and Dreyfuaa appealed t*
Garry Hermann, of Cincinnati, to come
tn the rescue. I.ate that night Mr
( ilcrrmnnn srlred that he would putt
la t u money seeded to ^? ln^ the deal.

it.i. . fi d Into the KtTMrr of the phillie.
M. ;...n. Herrmann and Drey fusts held

.iiih eras parrheerd bp senators Dur?

Western inasjantee always k<-pt their

i his veteran catcher. Charlie Zinnn"".
.should be appointed manager of the
?ju.iker> Zlnnn. 1 secured the posi?
tion, but faded to be as successful as
.. t. am leader as be was a backstop.
PI hl IW MM. the Phillies were never
harmed by the connecting links b*<
ta en the home club and rittst.urgh
j and Cincinnati capital.
la the fail of tttf symtleats bail
nsain crept into the club. This was
"lien Chartai r. Taft, of Cincinnati.
: who owns stock in the Chicago Na
i llnaala purchased the club and the
hall park, and '(Torts were made to;
convince the public that Horace S. To-j
gel was, the n el owner of the franchise
and playera The finger eif suspicion 1
from the first pointed to Mr. Tal t and I
the man he had given a start in Chi-j
?-ago. Charlie Murphy.
It was not until u few weeks attol
that Mr. Tail's ownership of Use Phillies!
eras admitted. AU the denials to the'
contrary could not convince certain
Philadelphlane.
Two of them were tn a room at the
Rellevur-Stratfoi-d ope night three
Mars ago. when Mr. Murphy, who was
in an adjoining room, held a long-'
?listance telephone conversation with
Mr.. TaXt. Mr. Murphy shouted BO j
ioud that, as one of thoae who heard
th. conversation afterward said.
I "Charlie could have been hoard on the
roof garden of the hotel.H The con-|
?ersaUoa was about the purchase ofi
; the Phillies, and these Philadelphia!? !
j got practically all of the details,
j In an unguarded moment afterward
i Mr. -Murphy declared to a well known t
j American I^eaguer that he would make I
. Philadelphia a "fifty-coat city." That
: t! s rhlrapnan kept his boast is known
to all patrons of tin- Phillies. A few j
wf.ks after Mr. Taft secured the elti".
the grandstand was enlarged until it!
took in all of the right tie Id bleachers j
and part of the left field bleachers.
With the purchase of the Phillies by
the IxK-ke syndicate the Murphy laflu-l
<nce in the affairs of the club will be
wiped out. That the Phillies can be ?

SAFETY PUY IS
TO BfJpEO
I
National Billiard Association
Rules Committee Reaches That i
Conclusion at Meeting.
N< w Tark. January ft?Safety play is'
to be retainci as permissible in bil?
liards and not to be penalized in the
rules about to be astahllshod hp the
National Association of Amateur Bil
llat.i ['layers, according to a decision
reached by the rules committee and an?
nounced to-duy. it was learned Baal
a number of prominent amateur play?
ers had realste red their opposition to
the proposed rule on the ground that
it would take from billiards what,
amounted to its only defensive cle- j
ment.
Although it is believed by the com-,
nilttce that the new rule was misin-,
tc I peeled. Its elimination has been dc-j
t ided upon. The idea was to do away|
with the deliberate wrecking of a b?- i
liard match by a player who was un-,
able to get his stroke and who would,
not allow his opponent to make any-j
thing out of his turns at table. Play ;
lasting for live hours or more lias often
resulted from such exhibitions.
The meeting of the national asso?
ciation to be held here January Z(>, will
have other new- rules to consider, but
it is expected to take no further action
on the oltauatton of safety play.

Performances booked of "UttlS Miss
Brown." a farce by Phiilp Bartholo
mae. author of "Over Night."
The story is buMt around the predic?
ament in which a young girl is placed
i when, arriving alone and late at night
at a hotel, she la led into declaring
j herself married, and is given an apart?
ment ro. rvcd for a man and his wife,
whose name she has ass-invd. and

I discover until morning that a strange
? girl has been occupying his wife's j
' room, and before he has time to
j straighten out the situation, his wife
appears upon the s'cne. as a matter
j of course.
I The wife calls for her lawver; he
f turns out t > be the girl's affianced. Tb.?
husband sends for his counsol. he Is
an old friend of the girl. Then the
husband's rieb un<le and his wife, who
appeared in the first act for *hat very
purpose, come bulging in to give hus?
band a lot of money because he is auch
a goe?d boy. Husband's wife is also his
friend, so she doesn't want him to lose
the money. Neither does the girl, who
is a good little sport. So everybody
lies, and lies, and lies, except the
uncle and aunt, and everybody gets
caught.
