relates.
Another deciding factor, ac-
cording to Quesada, was that
Ed permitted the vast majority
of the Senators minor league
players to be signed without a
resemblance of recommended
ton or approval by anyone in
charge of the farm system.
"Out of 100 players signed
there were positive recommen-
dations for only So. We were
spending vast sums of money
with no orderly process to as
sure that we were spending
wisely" he reports.
Before Quesada's second
chapter entered the firing
phase, he reviewed the history
of the club, which he thought
was necessary. He selected Do
herty and Vernon on the opin-
ion of friends he respected, he
wrote.
The Senators president wrote
of saddling Doherty with toe
many tasks, and of Doherty's
grateful understanding when he
transferred some of his duties

writes. AS to the decision that
Doherty would be the one to
go, one factor was the sug-
gested conflict with Vernon,
and the other was the almost
total absence of Negroes In the
player development program.
No Facts on Signees
Quesada points out that the
farm teams had been estab-
lished at locations which made
it impossible for the Senators
to give equal consideration in
the selection of white and Ne
gro players.

The game was almost five

Il was again in a quandary,
but four days later I received
a second memorandum from
Doherty, this time an unequi-
vocal recommendation that
Vernon be dropped at the end
of the season on expiration of
his contract. His reason: A

get his blue jacket from the
dugout.
"The recommendation that

George Washington turned

performance of the season last
night and outscored heavily

field goals, but fell victim on
the foul line for its fourth
straight defeat, l00-97, by the

A near-packed house Of

long jump shot by Phil Arus-
cavage.
Ric Duques intercepted the
subsequent throw-in by the
Mountaineers, but was called
for stepping on the out-of

took possession. A foul shot by
Donnie Weir with 2 seconds to
60 settled the issue.
1t was the third straight
year West Virginia has scored

When Ed Doherty finally.
reached decision on Mickey
Vernon's future, he recon-
mended that the Senators man.
ager be fired for what Presi-
dent Pete Quesada considered
to be a trivial reason.
That, in turn, led to Doherty's
dismissal, Quesada relates to-
day in Part 2 of the second an
nual report to the public by
the president of the Senators.
Quesada has considerable
praise and some criticism
for the general manager that
he selected in a hurry, as he
points out.
But Quesada writes that he
put personal feelings aside and,
for the good Of his partners
and the fans, decided to make
a change when he saw there
was no possibility of accord be-
tween Doherty and Vernon.
Quesada, who says 81 felt l
had to give the real story" has
fond hopes that the petty har-
rassment on the subject will
stop.
He will conclude his report
next Sunday with the real
story behind certain distorted
news accounts written by a
small coterie of sports writers
during the 1862 season."
Reviews Events
After a review of the Sena-
tors first year of operation,
and with praise for Doherty'sI
contributions, the general re-
ports on the sequence of events
that led to Doherty's dismissal.
The Senators won their first
two games and then lost 13
straight. Quesada points out
that this was an emotional
burden on Doherty, Vernon and
himself.
Near the end of our diSas-
trous losing streak, I detected
in Doherty a tendency-slight
though it may have been-to
be critical of Vernon. I accepted
this as normal, perhaps be-
cause / felt a bit the same
way. At first I was not dis
turbed. but soon things began.
to change. Criticism continued.
At times it became harsh and
unreasonable. On at least one
occasion there was a threat of
summary dismissal"
Quesada emphasized that his
general manager has the right
to criticize the team manager,
but it must be accompanied by
constructive guidance.
Seeing that this situation
could not be ignored, Quesada
relates, he asked Doherty to
suggest a replacement for Ver-
non, or help correct the faults
that Doherty so often cited.
Retention Recommended
Doherty accompanied the
team on the next western trip.
and said he would make a
recommendation by phone if.
necessary, Quesada writes. But.
the trip was completed without
incident, and on his return Ed.
recommended that Vernon be
retained.
Then, to my surprise and
disappointment, Doherty's cri-
ticism reoccured-often violent
ly. The local press speculated
and predicted. The seasons end
was drawing near. and both
Doherty's and Vernon's con-
tracts were due to expire. My
friendship with both was firm,
and still is. I was in a dilemma,
to say the least"
On September IL Quesada
wrote a memorandum to Doher-
ty, asking him to put personal.
feelings and comments from
the press aside and to recon-
mend whether 1t was in the.
best interest of the Senators
to renew Vernon's contract.
Doherty's delayed reply was
disappointing, Quesada states.
