The Phillies got two pitchers besides
Lobert aad Paskert, and Cincinnati was

but Lobert and Paskert played great
ball for Doom. while Grant and Bates
did little for Clark Griffith in Cincin-

Doom then sold several young play

Coach Fred Nielsen Is being congratu-

ing of his eleven this year. yet never
for a moment doubted the ability of
those lads trying for the team. Salve-
singers try to explain the marvellous
change In the men and in the team,
forgetting that the most discouraged
man In the world last October was none
other than this same Fred Nielsen.
Things looked very dim to him: he saw
no way out. Not till the Army game
did the eleven look worth while, but
against the soldiers they found them
selves: they became a welded machine
destined to run over Virginia and Le-
high. The players had the stun all the
