Show oo DAN MURPHY FOR ORIOLES, IS REPORT. Philadelphia, March G. According to a report from Baltimore today. Manager Man-ager Dunn of the Orioles has purchased purchas-ed Danny Murphy, outfielder of the Philadelphia American league team. Later Murphy denied that he had signed with Baltimore, hut this denial was said to have been made in order to obtain a better price for his cafe in Norwich, Conn., which he feared would probably be sold at a bad bargain bar-gain if it became known that he was no longer a White Elephant. There was general surprise among the Athletics hen it, became known today that Danny would no longer be connected with the club. It was supposed sup-posed that when Murphy left the Ath-letica Ath-letica he, like other veterans of tho club, would become the manager of some team. From Manager Mack's explanation of Murphy being let go, it is suspected that Murphy's shift to the International Interna-tional league club may be only temporary, tem-porary, and that eventually Mack will aid Danny In getting a managerial berth. The shifting of Murphy to Jack Dunn's club is likely to be one of the war measures to be adopted by the major leagues in fighting the Federals. |
