Doom stuck, and caught almost every
game that season. In the fall he was
sought by several major league clubs.
Owner Van Brunt, man of independ-
ent fortune. allowed Charlie to pick his
own club. He chose Philadelphia after
he had secured a contract calling for
$500 salary for 1902, with a bonus of
$1,000 if he was released. Those were
in the days OF the baseball war. Doom
has been a member of the Phillie ever
since.
DOoing was born of Irish parentage
on June y, 1880. in Cincinnati. where
his father, who died when Charles was
two years old, was painter. Charley
played on the lots and with kid teams
while attending public schools. He
tried for the nine of Xavier's col
lege, which he attended in 1S94-96, but
did not make the team because, as the
captain explained, he did not want any

The Gallaudet eleven is composed
exclusively of deaf and dumb pupils

great difficulty in stopping the plays
of the men who have been deprived OF

Coaches Make the Game.
While much of the success of the
