aggressive style Of playing II takes
a little time for the men TO adopt his
methods, as was shown in Boston.
The PhIIIies. judging from their
recent ascension, have recovered
from their slump and are on the
road to duplicate the drive that
made StalIings and ETers IA
z1ous. Pat MOrRn's club is
sIImbinE and according to all re-
ports is playing n stronger de-
fenHive game than ever before.
It is said that Evers has virtually
created a new infield with his cley-
erness in shifting for batters, IN
breaking up hit and run plays and
in having the pitchers twirl a GER
tain way TO the opponents.
This is no reflection on the ability
Of Moran. It is a mark Of credit
to his wisdom. He realizes the
value Of Evers's brains on a club
and obtained him for almost that
reason alone. The pair have been
working and planning together every
day since Evers Joined the Phillies
and results are beginning to show
Whether the star second baseman can
do the same for the Phillies as he
did for Boston remains to be seen
1t would not be reasonable for one
to expect Evers to be the factor on
the Phillies' roster that he was with
the Braves. First, he IS not the
hitter he vas in 1914
Second, Moran does not possess
n Fred Mitchell to handle the
pitchers. Third, Moran has not
the fwirIers that Boston had that
year. All this makes n tremend-
Gus difference and Il is a noun
