TRAILING
C&BIG LEAGUERS
PHIILIEs ARE BOUND TO OFFER
NICE BRAND OF BALL THIS YEAR

(By BILLY EVANS)
Pennant conjecture doesn't even
get slight rise out Of Manager Art
Fletcher of the Philadelphia Ma
tionals.
At present his chief thought in
life is developing a ball club that will
make interesting competition for the
rest Of the National league.
Manager Fletcher makes no pre-
tense fat pennant aspirations, but,
take it from me, any club presided
over by the former Giant star is GER
tain to play interesting baseball
That's his style.
Fletcher trained by John McGraW
natural aggressive ball player, has
no use for the drones. He wants
only athletes who are always giving
their best, regardless Of how good
or bad it may be.
Winning ball games is the watch
word of the Philles
mo We haven't got the pennant
fever" remarked Fletcher as | dis
cussed his ball club with him. The
big idea is to win every ball game
we can on the theory that you can't
worry about those you lose and
bring them back
Douglas daily dispatch., 1926-03-30
Strnnr for Tot.

Fletcher is also strong for a
youngster by the name of Willough-
by, who has shown great form in
the spring games. He is to start az
a regular.
Maun, a former member of the
Giants, sent to Indianapolis last sea-
son, is back with the Phillies via the
draft route. Fletcher believes he is
about ready.
Perhaps the personnel of the
Phillies on paper doesn't impress
you, but 1 am sure you would have
a much better opinion of Fletchers $
club if you saw it in action
Fletcher, smart ball player, IS
proving a smart manager and his
club plays snappy, aggressive base
ball, just the type you would expect.
