Many fans In New York are of the opin-.
lon that Pat Dougherty is playing for his
release, writes Mercer In the New York
Globe. Nothing is further from the truth.
At his best Dougherty never was a star
fielder, and naturally his shortcomings are
many when he is not In the best of health.
Griffith Is seeking man who can hit and
field, and when he secures such man he
will allow Dougherty to go home for a rest.
Dougherty has not been In his usual spirits
for two weeks or more and has not been
strong enough to play the game that Is ex-
pected of him. AS long as he plays every
day he has not much chance to improve,
and 1t is his own suggestion that he be al
lowed to go home for rest. He Is not
playing for his release, for he would lot be
able to do better anywhere else.
