PILLS WON'T
LET DOLAN
SLIP AWAY

All reports that "Cozy" Dolan. the
Phillies able and efficient substitute
third baseman, was going back to the
Rochester International League Club
were denied by Manager Charles
Doom last night. The official state
ment sent out by Secretary Farrell,
Of the National Association of Base
ball Clubs, that Rochester had been
awarded Dolan was misleading to the
general baseball public What Farrell
meant was that Rochester had first
claim on Dolan provided the Phillies
intended to let him go But this the
club does not intend to do. Dolan
thinks well of the youngster, who is
making his econd re-entry into the
big show, and intends to give a thor
ough trying out
Dolan at the fag end of the 1912
canter jumped in and PLAYED third
base so we'll that he opened the eyes
of the Quakers as to his ability He
hit with the eye of a Wagner and
fielded with a Jimmy Collins grace.
In the few games he performed he
convinced Doom that the club had
picked up prize which had been
foolishly cast adrift by the New York
Highlanders early last spring. Dolan
opened the 1912 race with the Yam
KEGS. but Wolverton never gave him
much of a chance to show what he
could do, sending him to Rocheter,
where he fired the International
League by his wonderful work. Then
he became a Phil later in the season
and may now gain permanent berth
before 1913 fades into obscurity
