FOGEL SAYSLYNCH
SHOULD Be HAPPY
At HAVING PLACE
Thinks Employe Should Not
Try to Fire His
Boss.
NO CHANCE TO SWAP
DOOLAN TO CHICAGO
Will Keep Him for Phillies
Says Talkative
Mogul.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Nov. 2-Presi-
dent Horace Fogel. Of the Phillies. says
he is one of the eight employers OF the
National League to whom President
Lynch should be thankful for the posi-
ton he holds. 1t seems ridiculous, says
Horace, that an employc should en-
deavor to fire one of his bosses.
rs such q thing possible?' says
Fogel. Not in my recollection have /
known where a worker could dictate
TO boss. j wish to make II clear to
all that l am one of President Lynch 8
employers, and mean TO remain In that
capacity. As to his assertions that all
the magnates are supporting him in an
Effort to. fire me. This Is foolish.
president Lynch is unpopular in the
cult task to retain the high office which
Is his at present. That ! am I'm sole
charge of the Phillies and will be at
their head until see fit to sell the club,
called at the special meeting which Is to
be held in New York soon.
Il am sure the other magnates will
support me through thick and thin. and.
70 far as ostracising me, l cannot put
u too strong that such n statement on
the part of President Lynch Is folly.
He Will Keep Doolan.
III ttBdlu 10 DOOl1n leaving the
phillies, this statement Is untrue. There
is no player on the Chicago team for
whom would exchange him. Doolan
IS valuable player, and proved himself
to be one of the best shortstops in either
league and has been one of the strong
supports of the Philies for several
years. To permit Doolan to leave this
city would mean q loss to the Phillies
and a gap that could not be filled.
Il know Doolan Is wonder. and
intend to keep him. because 1t is my
intention TO have my team as strong
as possible. realize that Manager
Evers needs valuable player. but we
need Doolan ourselves. / cannot under
stand why Evers had the audacity to
Doolan when he knew the player is
under contract to the Phillics.
Such declarations are bound to make
dissatisfaction between cmploye and
employer. This case Is particularly true
In so far as Tinker Is concerned. I
fully believe that Garry Hermann
should not have endeavored to procure
his services when he realized he was
a valuable ,hn asset to the Cubs; Az a
tween Hermann and Tinker there is
sure to be hard feelings in the Cub
camp, as Tinker will always think he
has not received the chance to better
himself when the opportunity was pre-
sented.
Has Disrupted Club.
Il am sure Tinker could not wei! give
his best services to Chicago IL he were
compelled to stay there. Hermann act
cd unjustly IN the matter. for he has
disrupted the Chicago team to GER
tain extent"
When asked whether he had seen
President Murphy, Horace said that he
had not seen his friend for some time.
From accounts, ! know that MUIR
phy is in New York, and that II he
were in this city at any time | am sure
ne would pay me a visit. Whether he
intends to come to this city l cannot
say. However. there would be no talk
regarding trades. II would simply be
q friendly chat
When questioned regarding his future
plans for the Phillies. Horace said they
would train either at Southern Pines OIL
Cuba.
The players seem to be favorable tc
cuba. AZ they found the place ideal or
tnCir last trip there. 1t Is altogether
likely that we may spend n part of thc
lime there. for 1t is my determination
to have the boys in the best OF condi.
ton for the Forthcoming National League
season"
