Clarence Murphy is a placeholder name for a one gamer who appeared for Louisville in Cincinnati. There is no evidence the player's first name was Clarence. One theory is that the player was Joe Murphy, a St. Louis semipro pitcher who was on trial with Cincinnati at the time and he was used as a last minute fill-in for Louisville. I am skeptical since one note in the Cincy papers mentioned that Murphy had returned to St. Louis on the eve of the game. I doubt that the mystery Murphy is one of the Minnesota players either.
