Show IT IS GERMAN RUTHLESSNESS Former Manager Dooin of Phlllie3 Thunderstruck at Sale of Alexander Alex-ander to Cubs. Charley Dooin, once manager of the 'billies and a man who did much to develop and bring out Grover Cleveland Cleve-land Alexander's great skill as a pitcher, calls his sale by William F. Baker to the Chicago Cubs little lit-tle short of German Ger-man ruthlessness. He is quoted as saying: "I was thunderstruck thunder-struck when I read the news. Money can never replace wonders like Alexander ky: r v A and Killifer. Al- Grover Alexander. exander was the greatest pitcher in the history of the game, and it is a matter of much personal per-sonal pride to me that I was responsible responsi-ble for his development. "Selling Alexander, to my mind, is something like the practice of the Germans Ger-mans In demolishing a cathedral or destroying priceless works of art." |
