BOSTON. Sept. 3O-Now that he has
won the National League pennant, Pat
Moran's object will be from the present
time until the end OF the season to keep
the PhillIes on edge for the series with
the Red sox. To be sure, the local Amer
lean League club has not mathematically
clinched the flag yet but will as soon as
It wins one more game or Detroit loses.
Moran said this morning that he would
go out to Braves Field this afternoon
Just as determined TO win as he was yes
terday, for he realizes that the players
must keep going at top speed to be at
their best when the worlds series begins.
81 have not mapped out any particular
plans for preliminary work for the worlds
serIes." said the Philly leader, but am
going to do what 1 can each day to see
that the players are in the best of con-
dition when they begin against the Red
Sox.
THAT series is going to be a hard one
and we must be at our best to give them
the battle that we expect to give them.
"There are several men on my club that
I win give a short rest because / think
they need IL. Gavvy Cravath, who has
had bad knee for some time, needs
few days on the bench. His knee is all
right but then the strain of thinking
little of the edge off him and l want
him, of course, to be In the best physi-
cal shape possible. Then there Is Ban
croft, who also needs to get out of the
game little while at least. l may give
Eddie Burns some rest, too, and use
lack Adams behind the bat, but even
hese men out you can be assured
are going to play the best ball
mat we are capable OF so that we may
not be caught off form as some club0
have been In the past
"You know that the Braves and the
Brooklyn Club are both anxious to fin-
ish second, because that means some
thing to a manager even II he can't win
the pennant. Now, IL they are playing
their best ball against us and we are
putting our best against them, you can
see that we are not going to lose out
much in form in spite of the fact that
we have won the pennant.
''All my pitchers are in pretty good
shape. and 1 will keep them working in
regular turn, just as have been doing. "
While Moran did not mention George
Whitted, 1t may be that his left fielder
will also get some rest. Whitted Is
afraid that he fractured a rib in Brook
lyn Tuesday, when he fell in a vain at
tempt to cut off Getz's home run In the
ninth inning. Mike Dee has plastered
Whitted up with tape. and he was feel
had the x-ray Put on himAyet
While Moran is preparing his team fol-
the big series, Bill Carrigan is far from
idle. He had Jack Barry and a number
of his other players out to the game yes.
ferday afternoon with him. They were
doping out the Phillies' style of play
from which they hoped to plan a definite
line of attack and defense.
Barry. VINO is considered by Bostor
fans. and by Carrigan himself. as tn,
ablest baseball diagnostician on the club
will be of great assistance to his man
ager. There is not wiser man In base
ball than Barry. and his value to th'
Red Sox cannot be overestimated in tbs
game itself and In regard to the advice
ne can give all the members of his cul
an their worlds series play.
Barry is a great friend OF Pat Moran
II am delighted that Pat has done 81

have a high opinion OF Pat Moran as
man and as a baseball player. He hal
made many bali players who are nov
playing on other clubs. A lot of thes'
may not give Pat the credit. and few
people know what he really did for them
but know that he aided lot OF them
and without his help they would be II
the minors today"
Further than saying that he though
all the Red Sox pitchers were In gooC
