Mote: This is another OF q
series Of stories on major league
club prospccts.)
BY ALAN GOULD

Winter Haven Fla, Mar. 15.-P-
The gaunt, weather tanned figure of
one of the finest right-handed pitch
ers Of all time and the greatest ar
ray of slashing young hitters that
any major league club ever has had
furnish the principal drama in the
1880 prospects of the Philadelphia
NationalS-no longer foolish or futile
but now the ferocious Phils.
Helped, Win Pennant
Back on the IN club he helped
pitch to its last pennant under the
late Pat Moran In 1915, 43-year-old
Grover Cleveland Alexander will at
tempt to contribute some of the hurl-
Ing help that the Phillics require to
make their terrific l~ong-range firing
effective In the games won" column.
With Alexander as q valuable coach
and aid to manager Burt Shotton in
the development of the new twirllng
talent. whether or not "Old Pete" wins
many games himself, the club has
.hig hopes of crashing into the first
division.
Il still think I can win quite a
few ball games" declared Alexander.
AS a whole. the Phillies easily pre-
sent n of the most interesting pros
poets in either league because of their
array Of sensational hitters.
The Phill;cs have 800 hitters in
every regular post except shortstop,
where Tommy Thevenow.s- defensive
skill and ability to hit in pinches Off
sets any lack of smuggling. talent.
Tommy's infield mates, Arthur Whit
ney at third. Fresco Thompson at Sec
Ond and Don Hurst at First will help
the outfield combination of O'Doul,
Klein and Southern take care Of the
hitting.
Pills Arc Confident
Along with the punch, the Phillies
have developed a keen spirit of on
fidence under Shotton. The clubs
progress will rise or fall on its pitch
ing. Shotton has confidence that
Lester Sweetland and Claude VIII
loughby will repeat their good work
of 1929 and that Ray Benge, q winner
in 1928 but the victim of a sore arm
last season, will stage a big come
back. Phil Collins. minus his topsilS.
may improve on a better than 500
record last year. Harry Smythe,
a southpaw who made an impressive
debut last season. is expected to be
poison to a few clubs, including the
Pirates. Sam DALEY. obtained from
Des Moines last year; Earl Collard,
once with Cleveland secured from
Shreveport: Harold Elliott and Lou
Koupal, FOLLOWERS, are counted upon
for righthanded assistance. Aiding
them is the wise old head and arm Of
"Old Pete" Alexander.

Secretary Hurley announced today
that all available Army cots and blan-
kets would be placed at the disposal
of unemployed to relieve acute distress
this Winter
In the absence Of legal right for the
department to do this, Secretary Hur-
ley has personally assumed responsible
ty for issuing the equipment. On pre-
vious occasions the lack of legal justi-
fication has precluded the granting OF
requests for such equipment, but q
statement by the department said that
IN the future all such requests for aid
would receive careful consideration.
Wires Gov. Emerson.
The Secretary's decision was con-
tanned in a telegram to Gov. Emerson
of Illinois.
Your telegram November received, y
the Secretary's message to the Governor
said. You ask that the Army loan
cots and blankets and other Army
equipment that may be indispensably
necessary to assist in Chicago and
throughout the State in coping with
unemployment situation. You state
that equipment furnished will be re-
ceived and accounted for by your Com
mission on Unemployment.
f. 1890, by the Acting Secretary of War
states the law correctly. I am without
legal authority to comply with your re-
quest. Under existing conditions, how
ever, assume the responsibility for
authorizing the use of all available
Army cots an" blankets without I'M
duly depicting supply for the armed
forces and, in .ar opinion, necessary
to relieve conditions of acute distress
due to unemployment.
Suggests Use Of ArmOries.

cots and blankets you direct the use of
armonies and other public buildings and
keep equipment in control of your State
military establishment Where equip
ment passes from under control of
military authority you should require
bond from parties responsible for its
safe keeping and replacement I am
sending a copy of this telegram to the
general commanding the 9Th Corps
Area and am directing him to use
Regular Army cots and blankets for
the same purpose and under the same
conditions where in his judgment, after
conference with the Unemployment
Commission and yourself, it is found to
be necessary. The commanding gen.
eral, 9Th Corps Area, has been instructed
to communicate with you"
