PH|[[|ES CARE
NOT FOR FEDS
Doom Says They are Un-
daunted by Raid-!Tells
What he Expects to do.

The hopes of Charles Doom. man.
,ager Of the Phillies, have not been
blasted by the Federal league raid on
his club. This is the situation of the
club since he has begun training in
Wilmington. N. c., as he has ex-
pressed them to some friends.
We are undaunted by the raid the
and will tackle our task with renewed
courage, despite the fact that we
have lost enough good players to
form the backbone of any club. 1t
was tough to learn that such pitchers
as Seaton. Camnitz. and Brennan, In
f1elders Knabe and Doolan and Out
fielder Duncan had been stolen from
MS and for a time we felt blue over
the outlook. But the material we
are working on looks good and be-
fore the race is half over am sure
we shall be making our presence felt.
No other club in either league suf-
fered as much as we did and we are
starting under a big handicap, but we
are making no alibis for future use
and will go along playing ball to the
lest OF our ability.
Serious Problem.
The absence of Doolan and Knabe
at the pivotal corner was a serious
problem. but I believe we have
iouIlu tIle answer fOr SnOrCSCOp we
have Herbert Murphy. one of the
most promising youngsters it has ever
been my fortune to handle. He is
natural ball player and thus far has
shown fielding form quite equal to
t'oolan's. His hitting promises to be
better and l don't believe we shall
miss Doolan for one day. For
knabe's position at second we have
Bobby Byrne. the third baseman we
secured from Pittsburgh. and his
work at second is satisfactory. Being
veteran he will help to steady MUIR
ply and predict that my infield will
not be inferior to that Of 1918.
For my pitching staff I have Alex
ander. Mayer. Chalmers, Rixey and
Marshall of last years team and they
form a pretty nifty start. It will be
hard to replace Seaton. who won
twenty seven games in 1913, but we
are lucky in having some youngsters
who look good, although we cannot
tell positively until they are tried
against big league teams. At that, If
my five veteran twirlers deliver the
goods I need not worry about the
kids. although shall continue to try
them out for al! they are worth.
Five Outfleld Material.
So far as the outfield is concerned
I have some fine material to draw
upon and with six men to choose
from there should be no weakness
there. Magee, Cravath. Becker, De
wore. Paskert, and Hiliey are the
candidates and there is no club in

the National league which has 4 bet
ter combination. Any one Of the first
named Ave Is likely to break up a
game with a home run and oil are
good f1elders.
Our catching staff is strong and
should be able to take care of itself.
Killifer Is the mainstay behind the
bat and his presence will be of vast
assistance to the team. Then I have
Burns and can also 90 in myself.
! don't think the Giants will have
the easy win they had last year and
1t would not surprise me IL we were
banging at the door. There are also
two other clubs which look danger

prove one OF the best in the leagues
history.
