HOW PHILLIES HAVE CHANGED
But Four of 1915 Team Left-Less
Than $50 900 Spent for New Men.

Pat Moran took hold Of the Phillies
in the spring of 1915. Today he has
only four members of the team who
reported to him that year Luderus,
Mayer. Burns and Cravath. In three
years Moran has won the pennant once
and has finished second twice, yet he
has spent less than 100000 for new
men. Moran secured Bancroft. Niehoff.
Whitfield. Stock, Adams and Dugey in
1915, and has been building up ever
since. The loss of Alexander. Rixey
and Killefer is a severe handicap. but
the veteran manager has obtained
other men who may keep the Phillies
high in the race.
