Relieves Dusty Cooke
From Temporary’ Role
PHILADELPHIA, July 26 (UP) —Eddie Sawyer was named manager of the Philadelphia Phillies
him from the Phils’ Toronto International League farm to the parent club. The appointment was announced by President Robert Carpenter, who also listed other transfers and “promotions” in the Phils’ farm system. Dick Porter, manager of Utica of the Eastern League this season, was named manager of the Toronto team, succeeding Sawy Other changes in the Phillies’ farm system were Manager Pat Colgan™ from Terre Haute to Utica, and pitching instructor Dale Jones from his field position to Terre Haute as manager. The Phillies management said the appointment would have been announced sooner, but was held up until the other farm changes could be arranged. Sawyer, who never played major league baseball but who managed minor league clubs successfully, takes over the Phils in place of Ben Chapman who was fired by Carpenter July 16. Since Chapman's release, the Phils were handled by Coach Allen “Dusty” Cooke, whose head man role always was conceded to be a temporary one. Choice of Sawyer. over a field of other candidates gives the Phillies a “nice guy” in contrast to the fire-eating Chapman.
