NEW YORK, Feb 10.-The ques-
ton in baseball still is who Is going
to buy the Phils?" but there is a
new meaning today In the old IA
miliar query.
Acting as broker. the National
League yesterday bought up the
stock OF its Philadelphia problem
child for resale to a syndicate and
thus ended a weary l0-year reign
for gray-haired, handsome Gerry
Nugent as president of the club.
How soon the ownership will be
passed along to a group of Phila-
delphia and New York men no one
could say today, but there was
every likelihood that the deal would
be completed quickly-possibly to-
day.
Alternate Proposal Refused.
League President Ford Prick,
other club owners and Nugent
wrestled with the sale all day yes
terday at the annual meeting Of
the National League. Prick and
the other owners had determined
on a showdown and refused to be
deferred by an alternate proposal
OF Nugent by which he would have
continued in control of the club.
They had bonafide bid for the
club. and In order to transfer a
clear title to the new owners, free
of the many obligations that. had
encountered Nugent, the magnates
voted to have the league buy all
available stock. amounting to 4,685
shares Of the 5000 issued.
Debts Of the club have been esti-
mated at $4,000 to the league
treasury and $4,000 to others. The
league assumed all Of these and
paid Nugent a specified rate per
share for his 50 per cent interest.
The best guess on the price was $12
a share, which would have brought

Who Will Purchase Pills Now
Is BoseboIITs Big Question
Club on Leagues Hands, Quick Sale Seen;
Prexy Nugent Is Disappointed Over Price
Nugent $31 400 for his $500 shares.

Nugent $31 200 for his $500 shares.
This made the purchase price ap-
p1oximately $3.50, 600, but 1t was ap-
parent that Nugent was greatly dis
appointed by the agreement. There
were reports that, until the league
proceeded last November with steps
to force a sale, Nugent wanted this
much money for his stock alone.
Soon after Prick announced "Nu-
gent is out" the Phil president went
to his hotel room and refused to see
any one. Much later when he re-
turned to the meeting to sign some
papers he commented, I'm going
home and take long rest"
The identity Of the prospective
buyers could not be learned except
that Furey Ellis, Philadelphia
broker, was mentioned. It was un-
derstood the league had made some
minor changes in the proposition
offered by the syndicate bidders and
immediate conclusion of the deal
was delayed because one Of the buy
ers could not be reached by tele-
phone.
New Owners Must Hurry.
Before the meeting adjourned
resolutions covering every conceiv-
able contingency were drawn up by
the league so that Prick would be
empowered to make q sale. One OF
these resolutions, 1t was learned,
had to do with q different group Of
prospective purchasers which might
come into the scene If for any rea-
son the original deal should fall
through.
The new owners must name q
manager, send out player contracts
and make arrangements for spring
training within few days.
The last major league club to
change ownership was the Boston
Braves, which J. A. Robert Quinn
and syndicate bought In 194l.
