Evers Blames Murphy.

Johnny Evers, captain of the Braves, believes that the old Cub machine would still be in the runhing for the championship if it had not been disrupted by Charley Murphy. “With Saier, Tinker, Zimmerman and myself in the infield,” said Johnny, "Archer and Kling as catchers, Art Hofman, Jim Sheckard and Frank Schulte in the outfield, and the present pitching staff, the club would be in the world’s series this fall, instead of struggling along in the second division.”
