Phillies Penny Wise and Pound Foolish in Keeping Players PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 16. A little matter of 35,000, which the Phillies re fused to spend, will cost the local club something Ilk 3100,000 before the reason closes. Five thousand dollars would have kept Seaton and Dolan for that club. In fact, the shortstop actually did quit over a matter of 36,000 bonus which he claimed Manager Dooin had promised him and which President Baker refused to pay. The profits of last year's campaign were In the bank when Baker booted the play. Either he did not want to spend money or, underestimating th attraction of the Federals, thought he did not have to. Aa a result, the Phillies are down In the race. " They are considered out of the pennant chase. But they have not been more than ten games behind the leading Giants at any stage of affairs, and It Is putting a fair value on the pair to say that they ar worth' at least ten games In seventy. Seaton alone might be worth that in the box. When it Is considered that the hole at shortstop has been Dooin's chief trouble all aeason, Dolan's value Is em phasized. This 35,000 would have augmented the gate all. tho way, because a club in the race Invariably outdraws a second divi sion team, and might very . well have brought the world's series' thousands Into the treasury. The sum of llJ.OOO In added salaries would have kept all the Phllly Jumpers, Seaton, Dolan, 'Brennan,- Walsh, Fin neran and possibly even Knabe, though the managerial lure is a strong one..
