BIG Trade Between Philadelphia and
Cincinnati is Turned Down, and
Doom Declares He is
Through.
FoGEL's INTERFERENCE
Wires Murphy and Then Refuses to
Sanction Deal Which Would Have
Changed Complexion Of
Two Teams.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, October 27-I
Charles W. Doom last night resigned
as manager of the Phillies. He re-
fused to accept the dictation of Horace
Fogel, president of the club, and OF
Chubby Charlie Murphy of Chicago,
the alleged power behind the throne.
Doom may remain as catcher for the
Phillies, but he prefers to quite the
club entirely. He is under contract
for two years as catcher His con-
tract for this position calls for $5,-
600 salary AS manager, Doom was
on a graduated scale. The smallest
he was to receive was $4,000 a year,
and this was to be increased to $4,000
should the Phillies win the champion
ship.
Blocked in deal which baseball
men agree would benefit his team,
Doom lost no time is resigning, when
he heard that Fogel and Murphy had
declared the deal finished by the red
1 topped manager could not go through.
| The deal in QUESTION had been agreed
upon between Doom and Manager
Clark Griffith of the Cincinnati club.
The men involved were: Pitchers
McQuillen and Moren, Third Baseman
Grant and Outfelder Bates of the
Phillies. for Pitcher Rowan and Beebe,
Third Baseman Lobert and Outfielder
Paskert of the Cincinnati club.
Foge Has Different Plans.
The announcement of the deal came
from Cincinnati two days ago. Doom
Immediately declared the report was
true. Then Fogel, after keeping the
/. wires hot between Philadelphia and
Chicago announced he would sanction
no such deal. Fogel would keep Nc
CULLEN He would give him contract
of about 81 900 a year with the prom
Use of a bonus If he would be good
OF course, the magnates are forbidden
to give bonuses. Fogel would accept
$4,000 for McQuillen.
Doom declares he would not have
McQuillen at any figure He declares
that McQuillen is not amendable to rea
son and spoils all discipline In his
club Dooin Is not quite so hard on
Pitcher Moren That young man has
more spending money that he knows
what to do with and playing ball with
him is just a pastime. He was In nc
condition to pitch most Of last season
and Doom decided a change of scene
might benefit him. Fogel thinks 9th
erwise, however, and Fogel likes the
millionaire daddy of Moren.
In speaking of his resignation las
night, Doom said:
81 have made up my mind to get rit
of two men who spoiled all discipline
in the club Fogel thinks he know,
more about it than I do. When be
came the Phillies' manager 1t was I'M
: derstood that would have free hand
Those were the terms when I tool
it. On my first big trade Fogel step
in and blocks it. Now I am done. N
more managing the Phillies for me
] told Fogel Il he did not o. K tina
deal he could have my resignation
He said the deal would not go through
In that manner he got my resigna
ton"
From source very close to Dooi
last night 1t was learned that Charlie
Murphy thinks the Chicago club is s
badly in need of pitchers right nov
that Mc0uillen might be big help t
the Cubs pitching staff. Doom re
fused to verify this, but It would SUI
prise none Of the baseball fans her
II McOuillen would land in Chicag
next season
