DUGAN SIGNS WITH
 MACk'S ATHLETICS
Holy Cross Star Changes Mind
 About Remaining in College
By Briggs

New Haven. June 18.-Joe Dugan, Holy Cross star. and recognized as ono of the best players ever devel- oped in New Haven, has signed a contract with the Philadelphia club of the American league. Dugan last night confirmed the report and added that he had been ordered to report to Manager Connie Mack next Satur- day. Dugan, it Is understood, came to terms during a conference with Manager Mack and Coach Ira Thom- as, after the Holy Cross- Brown game at Wooster Saturday. The figures in Dugan's contract were not made pub- lie.
 Dugan's decision to leave Holy Cross and play professional baseball created no little surprise in baseball circles yesterday. For some time it had been rumored that Dugan was contemplating such a move, but this was denied by the young player him. sS1f, who stated that he would finish his college course first. The signing of Dugan is another victory for the astute Mack who Is only one of ten big league managers who have been hot on Dugan's trail for several weeks.
 Dugan's first start was with the New Haven High school team, inci-
 dentally coached by Pat Cawley, a
 former Purple captain. Cawley in-
 duced Dugan to keep Holy Cross is mind, so that when he was through with his college course he would be tready. Dugan made . big hit in the
 interscholastic circles and later went
 with Cawley to the Colonials, and 1t
 was while he was here that college
 and professional scouts trailed him. Dugan's record to date show that
 he Is powerful with the bat, and his fielding is superlative. He has been at bat 75 times. crossed the plate 21. and made 32 hits, which netted him a total of 40 bases. This gives hin' mark of 412. In fielding he has taken part in 20 games. put out 3a men, and assisted in throwing out 40 He has made only misplays, his average being .924. Coach Burkett has a lot to say o1 Dugan's ability and remarks that he l Is the most natural ball player he has 1 ever seen and Is unQuestfonAbly tho 1 best second baseman of any of thu l college players he has taken 1 glimpse of this season. The blun coach asserts that Dugan with little l more experience will be star II l the big show.
