Cronin passed through here

The trip has convinced him

of soldiers, answered their ques

thousand of requests, ha de

By JUDSON BAILEY
NEW YORK, Feb. 10 W) The
question In baseball still is "Who
is going to buy the Phils?" But
there is a new meaning today in
the old familiar query.
Acting as a broker, the Nation
al league yesterday bought up
the slock of its Philadelphia
problem child for-rcsalc to f;
syndicate and thus ended a
weary 10-year reign for grey
haired, handsome Gerry Nugent
as president of tho club.
How soon the ownership will
be passed along to a group of
Philadelphia and New York men
no ono could say today, but
there was every likelihood that
the deal would be completed
quickly possibly today.

other club owners and Nugent
wrestled with the sale all day
yesterday at tho annual mooting
of tho National league.
They had r bonafldo bid for
the club, and in order to transfor
a clear title to the new owners,
free of the many obligations that
had encumbered Nugent, the
magnates voted to have the
league buy all available stock,
amounting to 4685 shares of the
5000 issued.
Debts of the club have been
estimated at $130,000 to the
league treasury and $60,000 to
others. The league assumed all
of these and paid Nugent a speci
fied rate per share for his 52
per cent Interest. The best guess
on the price was $12 a share.
which would have brought Nu
gent $31,200 for his 2600 shares.
This made the purchase price
pproximately $250,000, but It
was apparent that Nugent was
greatly disappointed by - the
agreement. There were reports
that, until the league proceeded
last November with steps to
force a sale, Nugent wanted this
much money for his stock alone.
The identity of the prospective
buyers could not be learned ex
cept that Furey Ellis, Philadel
phia broker, was mentioned. It
was understood the league had
made some minor changes In the
proposition offered by the syndi
cate bidders and immediate con
clusion of the deal was delayed
because one of the buyers could
not be reached by telephone.
