son by the Kansas City Blues. OF the

Pittsburgh Secretary Publishes
Letter From Leader of the
PhiIIieS.

Evidently there has been much taking
os pen in hand to write a few lines by
baseball players during the past months.
The Federals are getting to the place
where they are making public corre-
sDondence so that baseball is passing
through its Dear Senator stage.
Letters from Hughey Jennings having
been given Out, Charlie Dooin's literary
efforts are now exposed. and Secretary
Mccullough, OF the Pittsburgh club, Is
cut with the statement that the Fed
erals do not want Doom under any
circumstances. Even with the letter,
in which Doom offered to go to the
Federals for 5000 year, ana bring five
players with him, before his eyes, 1t
is not likely, however. that President
Baker. of the Phillies, will insist on
his re6-topDCd catcher trying to square
himself with the Federal management.
Secretary Mccullough, OF the Pitts
bGrgh FederSls, says: "Dooin is one
of the few bali players We nave met
during the last few years whom the
present Federal League does not want
under any circumstances.
My actual experience with Doom
oates from November, 1872. At that time
he was appearing at local theater in
this city. After the plans for the
launching of the Federal League in 1915
had been perfected 1 sent a short letter
10 DOOM at the theater where he was
appearing here. His answer was as
follows:
. Pittsburgh, Nov. L, 1872
Since talking to you at your office
over the proposition of joining your club
in the Federal League L have given the
subject lots Of thought and will make
You the following offer: l will bring
three to five men, namely, Knabe, Bren-
nan, Killifer and Eppa Rixey, with me.
The latter is young fellow and is only
getting $500 a month from the Philadel-
phia club, and he would not have got
that much had not Rigler insisted that
FoSel live up to the contract made with
him. l will want for myself a contract
for three years at 5000 per year and
will guarantee you one of the strongest
clubs in the new Federal League, as
am in touch with players in both
leagues and know the ones who have
grievances. My act is going a little
fat here, but ! am getting by with it,
and that is all / care for.
Kindly keep this as strict confidence
and let me hear from you as soon aas
possible. CHARLES DOOM
