MANAGER PICKS UP PLAYERS

Pat Moran Will Not Pay Fancy Prices for Ball Tosser*—Halts on Expensive Star*. Since Pat Moran has been in charge of the Phillies he has purchased only three players —Pitchers McQuillen and Karl Adams and Outfielder Good —and for each of these he paid the waiver price. He did not draft a man last fall, and he obtained the right to sign Outfielder Cooper for nothing. Moran picked up Chief Bender and George Chalmers when they were free agents. He traded Dooin to Cincinnati for Niehoff and let Lobert go to the

Giants in exchange for Stock, Demaree and Jack Adams, catcher. He obtained Whttted from the Braves, together with Infielder Dugey, in a trade for Sherwood Magee. In other words, the building up of the champions has Involved an outlay of not more than $5,000 for players’ releases. Moran does not believe in deals for expensive stars, and as a result the Philadelphia club is a moneymaker for the first time in a great many years.
