DOOM TO JOIN BRAVES.
Phillies' Manager Through i,
Quaker City.

BOSTON, September 12-The Braves
may acquire Charley Doom for one Of
their catching STAFF for next season. The
red-headed manager of the Phfllies Is
about at the end Of his rope and knows
it. Since the Phillies opened their last
series here Wednesday the report was
circulated that Dooin's term as manase
would end with this season. The poor
position Of the Phillies this year Is
blamed on Doom. although he lost several
Of his star men by Federal raids.
Manager Stallings is sweet on Dooin
for a catcher. and Dooin's ambitions as
a manager have been satisfied. He Is
willing to work in the harness as a
plain, ordinary player. Charley has init
mated all over Boston that he knows he
is done, and he would like to play here.
President GafYney would neither con-
firm nor deny the rumor that Doom will
be with his team next year. But the re-
port comes from pretty authoritative
source, one very close to the sorrel-top-
ped heimsman. that Doom will wear a
Brave uniform next season.

the clubs best pitcher. who only few
weeks ago violated the clubs rules Of
discipline so openly that he was heavily
fined and left the club. There have been
several rumors of dissension between
Chance and the club owners.
Chance asserted that although his con-
tract did not expire until the end OF the
1915 season, he saw no reason why he
should remain here, because OF what he
declared was the unwillingness Of the
owners to spend enough money to build
the team up. Friction between Chance
and Farrell has ex sted for a long time.
but the trouble recently was centored on
Arthur Irwin, the scout Of the club.
Chance insisted that Irwin be discharged,
as he alleged that Irwin had been of no
use to the club and was interfering with
his management.
II see no reason for my remainine
here" said Chance today. II cannot hope
to finish any higher than sixth or sew
enth with the material at hand, and for a
team that cannot finish any higher than
that Farrell need pay no manager high
salary. He can get a ELECTROMAGNETIC
lar man to do that"

There is no doubt of that Though
we are eight games behind, l do not
figure us out of it by any means.
We will keep hustling in the hope that
the other teams will give the Attn
letics setback, and if they do we
will come pretty near beating them
out.
I'VE beat the Athletics because we
fight them We never let up and go
after them from start to finish, a prac-
tice which the Mackmen do not take
kindly to. Had Leonard been fit We
would have cleaned up over there this
trip, because we scored runs enough
to win with any sort of pitching. Joe
Wood was not right, that is why we
failed to continue our winning streak
against them"
Jack Bentley ought to continue his
winning streak against the Red Sox, a
team viii b is lament bly, weak against
a left-handed pitcher of ability, and
Bentley certainly has shown plenty of
stuff in his last two appearances on
the rubber. incidentally. both he and
Johnson will have plenty of rest since
they worked last and ought to be at
their best But Boston is, of course,
one of the strongest aggregations in
the league and is always one Of the
hardest to beat.
