AS LOSE IN eleventh

Ice Meadows. the pride Of wild Bill
Donovan's Phillie pitching staff, was one
Of some COM odd who saw our Athletics
the eleventh at the hands Of George
! McBridcs Washington Senators by n
| ! to 4 count. Lee, whose claim to fame
aside from his right arm, lies In the
fact that he is the only bespcctacled
hurler in the big leagues, left in the mood
of the boys who gather round the stoves
during the wintertimc. In other words
he did not mind talking.
II have heard that there is trade
brewing between the Phils and the
! Dodgers" said Meadows. ''but do not
know. except from newspaper reports,
who arc liable to be traded. We could
use Ed Konetchy very we'll at first base
now; "a matter of fact, much better
/ than either Miljus or MOZART the
| pitchers. who are reported 10 be on the
market for Cecil Causey. Ed is far from
being through and would just about
lend us enough to get our heads out Of
| the cellar. You krow we get Jimmy
| Smith from the Reds as part of the
! trade for Greasy Nealc. We were to
get sam Crane, but Smith wns finally
sent to us Jimmy has been n utility
indelder out in Cincy for the last four
| years.
Anent Wheat and Lebourveau
! All was not glorious on the recent
Western tour of Donovan and his band,
| Aside from taking wallOpings with al
most monotonous regularity the Phils
| suffered the loss of two of their best
men. and the Western sCribes never mace
| the wires bristle with a word of 1t.
Mack Wheat. the second string catcher
received a broken hand out in st. Louis,
when a foul-tip from Bin Doak's bat
| splintered the member. Wheat IL now
resting with his wifc's relatives in Gin
| Cinnati with his arm in n sling and may
| not Join the team for several more
weeks.
| Dewitt Lebourvenu, the dashing out =
| fielder, who soiourned around these
parts while the Phils were starting their
Western jaunt and who Joined them tr
| st. Louis, Is out Of the game agnin.
Before Joining the Broad and Hunting
don streets crew Dewitt suffered an in
Jury 70 his nose that has been causing
him great trouble of late, with the re-
suit that a physician advised him to
have an operation performed. This /.
being done in his home town. Dewitt
will probably join the club here within
the next two weeks.
Phils Return Tomorrow
The Phis return here tomorrow after.

July %. The Giants will be the party
Of the second part tomorrow afternoon
and It would not be at all surprising tt
find Konctchy on the initial sack wher
the teams line up.
