END 0F WEEK FINDS PHILLIPS IN FINE TRIM FOR BATTLE Cravath and Stengal Lam- bast the Cover Off the Old
 Apple-Weinert Is
 Going Good

After week of hard practice the prospects for Gavvy Cravath's Phillies are indeed growing brighter. Where the play was at first ragged, the rough places have been somewhat smoothed out by the careful training of Cactus, and now the perspective Phillies are presenting something on the order of good base ballistic appearance at the workouts held each day at Redwood Park.
 Gavvy put his players through an un- usually hard practice period yesterday Ideal baseball weather was served up to the players. and the Philly manager de- cided to make the best of his opportuni- ties. The damp weather which has been in vogue< somewhat the past week has taught Gavvy that day of real baseball weather. when the sun is shining brightly is not to be despised, or to be passed lightly up.
 The Phillies assembled at Rickwood shrtly after noon, and after preliminary warming up practice, took the field In batting and infield practice. The re- cruit pitchers served up the offerinjSs for the other players.
 WEINERT DOES WELL

Born in 1885, Britton first donned the gloves in 1900 as an amateur His per formance was such as to attract more than passing interest. Eventually, in 1906 to be exact, he Joined the professional ranks of pugilism. And even since then he has been one of the most conspicu- ous battlers
 Britton has seen countless thousands of fighters come and go since he be- came a professional He has seen young sters rise up from obscurity to fame, and then has seen them pass quickly out of view. Through the years he has iearhed that the price of success for most fight CTS is to fall for the temptation of easy life.
 CLEAN LIVING
 And my observation of what happened to others is the thing that has kept me living straight" declares Britton. When I adaDted the ring as profession I de- cided I would stick to it as long as it was humanly possible for me to do so. 1 knew that the greatest asset which had was my health and strength, and that as soon as l surrendered either one my days as a fighter would be over
 Through the first ten years I was never fortunate enough to get a real crack at a CnamplOn at time when a victory would have given me the title. It was, in a certain sense, discourag- ing. But I kept it up and eventually, after sixteen years of ring work, be- came the leader of the welterweight. Since then I have tried my best to be a real champion and to give a crack at the title to anyone who had aspirations.
 ''I am now g. and still san fight with as little exertion and seemingly with as little strain as I did ten years ago. This probably is because I have given every care and attention to keeping my b6dy fit to keeping it in tip-top form at all times. Between fights I never slip away from the rigid training schedule that i mapped out for myself years ago. Of course when there is no fight in sight for a long time I don't go through the same strenuous routine that l do With a fight week or so off. But all the time am keeping fit so that l could fight at AS hours notice and do myself justice.
 Britton's case is an argument in favor of the scientific side of pugilism. He is not Knockout artist and never has been. He has put many men to sleep. but. i'll the main, never has strived to murder his man To win on points. but to win decisively. that has been Britton's ambi- tion And in this way he has conserved his strength and health. and saved him. self.
 NO KNOCKOUT ARTIST
 Britton realized early in his career that the vital need for every fighter was & perfect defense. He experimented with

Manager Coleman arrived here from Taylor Texas where he has been training with the St. Louis Browns and looking over their young ball players. Settlement of the third base prob lem will be welcomed by Mobile fans, as they had worried great deal over the man who will tend Joe Schepner's old job. Manager Coleman states that he has already secured third base rsan but cannot announce his name al his time. Although Tom McMillan is holdout to date. his demands are no siving serio~1s concern. At first base, Walter Golvin is expected to return, but if not another first baseman can he secured.
 Bob is especially sweet on his out field He is satisfied that Guy Tut weller will hit and field as well ass ever. and he also believes that Moon" Iucote, with years experience un- der his belt. will be a much more valu able man.

It was a terrible wallop to deal out to any old apple, and especially to nice new one like that Stengal sent flying over the fence.
 In infield, practice was fast and snappy, the men at times showing flashes of form which is attained only in mid-season. Stuffy Stewart is showing up especially we'll as an infielder.
 The Phillies are ready for an exhibi- tion game now, and are only waiting for Carleton Molesworth to assemble his Bir- mingham Barons. The local manager has had his squad out only three days now, so of course the players are in no condi- aion to stage an exhabition game at

Tannehill is keeping close eye on these youngsters, as he hopes to develop some real twirlers from among the bunch. Ray Lingrell, the Tad of the stock build, has been turning in some good work lately.
 Two of the old-timers exhibited a fierce and intense desire to lambast the cover off the pill yesterday. These worthit1 were none other than old old friends, Gavvy Crabath and Casey Stengal. Gavvy sent several long drives right down the prove in center field, any one of which would have gone for a home run In any ordinary baseball game.
