EARL MOORE TO Be

PhiIIies Willing to Take Pitcher
and 0utfieIder for
TWirIer.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PHILADELPHIA. August 24.-Believing
that he cannot win games for the Phil
lies. President Fogel has placed Earl
Moore. one of the greatest pitchers in
the National League, on the market. and
1t is believed that within the next twen-
tyfour hours the right-handed exponent
of the cross-6re will be traded to another
club.
Mr.. FogeI has made definite offers of
Moore to four clubs--Chicago, Pittsburgh,
New York and Brooklyn. The leader of
the Phillies does not underestimate the
value of Moore, and he will only part
stars In return.
Moore was offered to Chicago for Pitch
er Reulbach and Outfelder Schultz. In
addition, F'ogel was willing to throw In
an outfielder, but the Cubs demurred at
parting with Schultz and made a coun-
ter-proposition to Togel that the latter
rejected.
If you won't make a fair trade for
Moore" said Fogel to Owner Murphy of
the Cubs. then l am going to offer him
to your pennant rivals-Eew York and
Pittsburgh
True to his word, Fogel wired John r.
Brush and offered the Giants Moore for
pitcher who is said to be Marquard.
The Phillies leader also had talk with
Manager Clarke, and 1t is said that Moore
was offered to the Pirates for Pitcher
Babe" Adams and Outfelder Vincent
Campbell.
Pittsburgh expressed great willingness
to acquire Moore. and Tuesday night Nr.
Fogel went to Atlantic City to consult
with Manager Doom over A proposition
for Moore coming from the Pirates.
Owner Dreyfuss is also at Atlantic City,
and, while Dreyfuss and Fogel are not on
the best of terms. the Pittsburgh owner
visited Manager Doom in his sickroom at

ers for the giant right-hander. IT is be-
lieved that either Pittsburgh or Chicago
will be the fortunate club to land Moore.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, August alt
leaked out. when the Athletics arrived
here yesterday ready to start three
game series with the Maps today, that
Capt. Harry Davis had refused a most
fattering offer 10 manage the st. Louis
Browns. This is taken to mean that the
field leader Of the worlds champions will
become manager of the Cleveland club
in 1912.
Col. Robert Lee Hedges, owner of the
ST. Louis club. conferred with Davis on
several occasions during the visit of the
Athletics in the Missouri city. II is said
Harry was offered a sum far in excess
OF that which he can get from any other
club. but fatly refused to consider it.
Manager Connie Mack was requested
to use his influence to have Davis ac-
cept the offer. but this the Athletics
manager refused 10 do, saying Harry's
future was a question for him 10 de-
eide. Davis objected to the ST. Louis
berth because of conditions which exist
tn the city, particularly the heat which
caps the ambition OF ball players.
Davis has been persistently slated as
the 1917 manager of the Cleveland
team. and IL would not be surprising to
learn that he is now signed to a con-
tract. However. neither the Mack lieu
tenant nor the Cleveland management will
give any direct statement at this time.
The Athletics spent yesterday afternoon
1T one of the Lake Erie lighthouses, and
all appear fit for the series with the
Maps. John Coombs will probably pitch
today. and Chief Bender is expected 10

he is leady to catch Cy Morgan If the
