By BILLY EVANS

LEESBURG, FI;.-. March 24.-ArJ
Fletcher. new manager of the Phil

Fletcher reached the ranks Of star
dom as shortstop for the New York

Trained in the school of John Nc
Graw, Fletcher thinks victory all the
time.
Placed in charge of a team that
many critics are unkind enough to
consign to last place. Fletcher is in
no way discouraged. He plans 10
make a better showing than the Phil
lies did last year.
Regardless of where they finish the
PhilHes of 1928 viii play with "a much
better spirit than did the team OF last
year
When defeated they viii 20 down
lighting rather than meekly accepting
the reverse. with the thought that
the playing of the game merely
brought the season that much nearer
TO the close.

Theories of Fletcher

Fletcher never fails to impress
upon his players that they did not
finish last I'm 1922. The Phillies have
held down the tail-end position for
so many years that Fletcher wants
his players TO keep in mind the fact
they did not finish there last year.
The other point that he keeps driv
ing home is that by finishing sixth
the club will show g substantial i'm
provement.
Pitching that is certain to be bet
ter. An infeld that viii be % per
cent better. Catching that will be
worthy Of the pennant winner. An
outfeld that will show a much I'M
proved player in Curtis Walker
picked up by Fletcher to soon develop
into a real star. There you have
the reasons for Fletcher's optimism
Fletcher feels that Boston is better
than an eighth place team. How
ever. since the Phillies beat out Eos-
ton last year. Fletcher sees no rea-
son why they cannot repeat. In
cidentaIy BrooHlyn is the other club
that he feels he has more than an
even chance to nose out.

The Probable Line-Up

The club VIII present practically

exception Of Sands at short and Holke

In all probability Williams. Wal

The ability of Williams is well
known. Lee has promise, while Cur

star. Walker is the younEscer secured

Public School Notes

The report of the school nurse for the month of February was as fol- lows: New cases, 6 1; discharged, treatments for skin diseases, II: treatments for injuries, 2; home calls, 45. Exclusion, one for humps, one for prevention, two for severe colds one other case of humps reported, one case of scarlet fever.
 The majority of the home calls are follow up' visits to impress upon the parents the importance of having the children's defects remedied. The people seem to appreciate this ser vice more end more, for they have been very kind, and I am sure that having met these parents in their homes has been mutually beneficial. It is expected that large percent age of the enlarged and diseased ton sils may be removed this summer by Dr. Foster.
 All the children have been exam ined this month for skin diseases, as usual.
 Physical examinations have been begun in Israel Putnam school.
