MORAN MINUS STAR BATTERY

Manager of Philadelphia National League Team Playing Without Alexander and Killifer. Pat Moran, a former catcher, succeeded Charlie Dooin as manager of

the Philadelphia Nationals in November, 1914, and won a pennant with the team in 1915. j Pat is for-ty-two years old. He was with Montreal in 18991900; Boston Nationals, 1901-1905; Chicago National s , 1906-1909, and Philadelphia Nationals ever since. Pat caught for three pennant-

winning Chicago National teams (Chance’s champions). Pat’s Phillies finished second to Brooklyn in 1916, and second to the New York Giants last year. The loss of the Phillies’ star battery, Alexander and Killifer, sold to the Cubs last fall, will weaken the club this year.
