WANT DAVE BRAIN
AT PHILADELPHIA,

PHILADELPHIA, April 1S.-There
are two spots on the Phlllies' team
centre field and first base-that need
prompt attention. Thomas is physically
too weak at bat to hold down the
centre field position, and there is room
for much Improvement at first base.
The Boston Club is here today, and an
effort might be made to make a deal
for Davy Brain, who refuses to sign
with Boston. Brain is one of the star
players of the National League, and
would make a valuable man for first
base for the Phillies. Last season Brain
led the league in home runs, with ten to
his credit, and also drove out twenty
-four two-baggers. He ranked sixteenth
in the league, with an average of .279.
The Phillies have not enough men
who a drive in runs, and need one or
two more like Brain to strengthen the
batting. Mccormick has tho reputation
of a hitter, m will probably land in
centre field before long.
