PH|LLY MANAGER
Confident WILL Be
IN The FIRST DIVISION

Bradenton. Fla. March 14-(AP)-
With strengthened infield and a
pitching corps he regards as more
formidable than that of 1925 despite
the loss of Jimmy Ring, Manager Art
Fletcher of the Philadelphia Nation
ais looks forward to an improved
showing in this years pennant race.
The Phillies finished seventh last
season but Fletcher, in an outline of
his prospects for The Associated
Press, expresses the belief that they
will be fighting for first division
berth in the coming campaign.
we will be stronger at first and
second base this year." Fletcher de-
clared. Bentley at first is a veteran
and sure fielder as we'll as a slug
ger. Freiberg will help us a lot at
second. He will field far ahead Of
any second sacker we have had since
l have been with the team. l ex-
pect him to have a fine season. Then
in Leach, the young outfielder who
joined the team last summer, I have
conner. He is a fine fielder and a
mighty good hitter.
i have lost Jimmy Ring from the
pitching staff but l have five of the
most promising young pitchers in the
game today and / am confidently
counting on a much stronger staff
than last year. In place of Ring I
have Wayland Dean, a fine young
pitcher with a world of stuff I also
have Maun, drafted from Indianap-
oils. Both of these boys have had
big league experience under McGraw
and should be ready for regular SER
vice this year.
I'm Willoughby and Pierce have
two youngsters who pitched in SEN
sational fashion for me last fall
against National League teams. Both
have shown well down here this
spring. especially Willoughby, whom
look to as a regular and a winner
this year in spite of his short league
training. Then there is Ulrich who
pitched for the Waterbury champions
in the Eastern League. He is a fast
ball pitcher and is developing a curve
this spring.
"Of the veterans Carlson is in bet
ter form than 1 ever have seen him.
Bentley will pitch some games for
me in the summer. If our young
pitchers do what we now have a
right to expect them to do we will
fight for first division berth this
year clear to the last"
