Dugan, it is understood, came to terms during a conference with Manager Mack and Coach Ira Thom- as, after the Holy Cross-Brown game at Wooster Saturday. The figures in Dugan'’s contract were not made pub- le. Dugan’s decision to leave Holy Cross and play professional baseball created no little surprise in baseball circles yesterday. For some time it had been rumored that Dugan was contemplating such a mdve, but this was denied by the voung player him- #¥lf, who stated that he would finish his college course first. The signing of Dugan is another victory for the astute Mack who is only one of ten big league managers who have been hot on Dugan's trail for several weeks. Dugan’s first start was with the New Haven High school team, inci- dentally coached by Pat Cawley, a former Purple captain. Cawley in- duced Dugan to keep Holy Cross is mind, so that when he was through with his college course he would be ready. . Dugan made a big hit in the interacholastic circles and later went with Cawley to the Colonials, and it was while he was here that college and professional scouts trailed him.
