Besides being able to sing and get off

George NJ. Conan, which Doom is doing
at the Temple Theater this week, the red
head is the best backstop in the National
League. After he managed the club for
about six weeks they classed him with
the other Little Napoleons'' of base ball.
These NapoleOnS are nearly all red
headed, freckle-faced and Irish. Doom
has all three characteristics of the base
ball Napoleon.
Many will always believe that Doom
had the best ball club in the National
League in 1911. But Doom broke his leg.
Alexander, the best pitching prospect the
big leagues have looked upon in years
land this statement goes without excep-
tom, became seriously ill; Titus was in
jured. and Sherwood Magee, one of the
great htters in either league, got into an
argument with an umpire by the name of
Finneran one day and separated four or
five of Finnerans teeth from their roots,
for which the National League directors,
aided and abetted by the national COM
mission, ordered Magee out of the game.
With a crack battery and two sluggers
missing. the Phillies' pennant hopes were
swept away.

Although Boston is never seriously
considered. said DOOM recently, with
two or three good pitchers that team
would be a first division club. 1t has

Doom claims his leg feels stronger

the game next spring. Odds are that
Charlie will be looking after Alexander's
curves and the managerial end of the
Phillies when the National League race
of 1912 starts.

Boston capitalists have offered Doom

release from the Philadelphia owners

of getting away from Philadelphia. Doom
is under two-year players contract. His
managerial contract was for one year and
expired with the 1911 season. He has not
signed new contract to manage.
Doom sent telegram to Horace Fogel,
owner of the Philadelphia club. He asked
Fogel whether there was chance OF
buying his release. 1t is quite likely
that Horace will tell Charlie that he will
look better in Philadelphia uniform.

traded 10 Boston last year, claims that
he has Kansas money in back of him
