Horace Fogel, in talking Of the sale OF
the Phillies yesterday, was quoted as
saying:
II have all the men that | want that
will buy the stock that is for sale. Natu-
rally. am trying to take the men In that
will retain me as the president OF the
club and from what / know now II looks
as though | will be able to engineer this
deal II do not, then II Will simply be
a case OF my accepting what / can get
for the stock that | own and retire from
the club.
There never has been any doubt that
It will be a good investment There are
many men who want to become inter-
ested in the club, but some OF them are
new to baseball. and those men might not
prove the best kind of stockholders
expect TO close the deal this week. One
of the men whom I have In mind Is
Young Philadelphia. who Is only await
ing the adjudication OF his fathers estate
in the Orphans Court when he will come
into possession OF his own money, and
that ought to be made this week. II IT
is, l will have his interest in the club
and announce his name next Monday"
While we do not want to antagonize
the National League IL Il insists on al
lowing Lynch TO press the case against
me in his own way II is quite probable
that my attorneys will go to New York
next week and simply say: Gentlemen.
we question your jurisdiction In such
matter as this and respectfully submit
that you have no right to subject pres
ident OF one OF the clubs TO a trial Of
this sort Understand, am ready at all
times to account for my personal opin-
ions. and will do so In the proper way,
but not at any trial such as Lynch has
proposed"
