wv about the Philadelphia
' ' Phillies Is that they'll be
miracle men to stay out of the Ma
tional League cellar in 1887.
Riddled by player sales, which have
netted s350000 in cash and no player
talent over the last three years, the
Phillies haven't much to work on eX-
cept for Player Manager Jimmy Will
son and couple of pitchers. The
outlook Is darker than dark.
Wilson, who Dragged about a great
pitching staf1 last Spring and then
was criticized by Owner Gerald Nu-
gent when the mound staff begged
down during the season, is back shout
ing praises Of his hurlers again this
year. He thinks he'll have a pitching
staff second to none with Claude Pas
sau and Bucky Walter his mainstays.
Men must be developed for infield
and outfield duty, but no one with the
complexion Of good, reliable major
Lacquer Of flrst-rate caliber can be
found around the camp; of course, it's
early. and few finds may be un-
covered, but good ball players are
shaken OF the tree early.
Needed Southpaw Badly.
PH1LADELPH1A'S pitching weak
ness last season, when the hap
less club dropped to the cellar, ap-
parently has been patched up with the
acquisition of two southpaw pitchers
Bob Burke, who once pitched a no-hit
game for Washington, and Wayne La
Master. winner Of l3 games for Louis
vile in '36. If we'd had one decent
left-hander last season, we'd have
won at least is more games" de-
clared Manager Wilson.
The rest of the pitching staff un-
doubtedly will consist Of Orville Jor-
gems, Joe Bowman and Hugh Null
cahy, rookie who won rs at Halle
ton OF the New York-Pennsylvania
League. Wilson is high particularly
on Mulcahy, a big fellow with a lot
OF zip on the hide.
Dolph Camilli. at present member
OF the holdout union, and Pink Whit
ney have first and third base, respec-
lively, clinched. Del Young, up from
Oklahoma City, and Bill Andrus, re-
cruit from Little Rock, are battling
1t out for second, with George Charein,
purchased from Nashville. hot candi-
date for shortstop post. Leo Norris,
who didn't satisfy Wilson as a fielder
around short last year, also may get a
chance at second.
Digs Deep for Prospects.
THE outfield is set with familiar
faces who can hit but who aren't
exactly famous fly hawks. Chuck
Klein and Johnny Moore have two
garden spots set, while Morris Arno-
vich; Hershel Martin, q fine-looking
rookie from Houston, or the fleet.
footed Fred Tauby OF Dallas are out
for the third outfield job.
Wilson IS trying a new stunt this
Spring, and it may produce some
thing. Instead Of loafing and soaking
up Florida's sunshine for the last
month, Jimmy bought himself spy.

wouldn't mind paying their expenses
to camp for a tryout. Right now he's
got about Is Of them-none of them
on the club roster-and Jimmy's hop
ing he might discover at least a
couple OF prospects for development.
But If exceptional good breaks don't
come Jimmy's way the National
League pennant contenders are pref
ty sure to find Philadelphia a real
city OF brotherly love next Summer.

Maybe you don't recall Kolls readily.
I suppose the act for which he is most

BY FRANCIS E. STAN,

u RLANDo, Fla, March l2.-Joe
Tinker was sitting in the
J Washington dugout today
while the Nationals were
having their infield practice. Old
timers will remember Joe Tinker. 1t
seems he used to be shortstop with
the Cubs The younger generation
knows him as legendary figure
somebody who belongs with Wagner
and Lajoie, Evers and Chance.
Bucky Harris was sitting there, too.
On the field Nick Altrock started to
bang grounders to an infield composed
OF Buddy Lewis at third Cecil Travis
at short, Johnny Mihalic at second
and Joe Kuhel on first.
II guess you could give that young
fellow on short few pointers, Joe, "
said Harris. Tinker turned.
Say, I've been watching that kid
for a few days now. The way he's
going he doesn't need any pointers.
Boy, he is hot"
In sooth, Cecil Travis it hot. Kuhel
never was more graceful in his life
than he is now and Lewis seems vastly
improved But Travis, day after day,
is stealing the inf1eld show. He goes
to his right, almost in back of third,
and yesterday he made a pip of a
stop back of second 1t reminded you
Of Cronin in 1882 and 1888.

- He'll Hit Better, Too.

LEARNED lot I still have lots
more to learn, but at last I'm
making progress. I'm glad, too, to
hear somebody say they can notice a
difference, because I've been feeling
different and I wanted to be sure I
wasn't fooling myself"
This is big mouthful for Travis,
Bat the youngster, grizzled major
league veteran at %, wasn't finished.
When he was asked about his hitting,
he took that up with equal zest.
II may do a whole lot better at bat
this year, too,' he said. Mr.. Griffith
always wanted me to change to a
pull hitter and I've tried hard to
do it. You know what I mean-pull
to right field. I've always hit over
300, but somehow I've felt that if
could just bat natural I'd hit better.
None of that pulling stuff for me
this year. I'm going to bat like used
to hit at Chattanooga. I'm the kind
of hitter who waits till the last mo-
ment and then swings. When I'm
going good my drives go either through
the box or loop to left field I'm no
power hitter and I'm not going to
kid myself.
What's that? Maybe I'll hit $50
some year? Well, you know I've al
ways wanted to do that-ever since I
came up to Washington. And sort
Of feel I'll do it one of these years"
Myer, Bluege Are Ailing.
THE infield of Kuhel, Mihalic, Travis
and Lewis held for this steadily.
There was nobody breaking into the
drill, except where the catcher was
concerned, and reason is that Ossie
Bluege and Buddy Myer are on the
shelf.
Myer came up with stiff neck the
other day and can do nothing except
run around the park. He isn't taking
part in the batting drills and isn't
fielding. Day by day he becomes more
of q worry to the club. Everybody
seems to be impatient for Buddy to
throw of the wraps except Buddy
himself.
Bluege owns the first legitimate sore
arm of the training season. That has
eliminated him from drills and be-
tween Ossie's arm and Buddy's neck
the intra squad game listed for tomor-
row may not be played. Harris needs
more infielders for the second team
and rather than make joke contest
he prefers not to play at all.
That, in the opinion of playerx IA

charge of second degree grand lar
ceny before Judge A. B. Gislason
in New Ulrn last week. He was
taken to the institution by Sheriff
L. j. Kise Saturday.
Although it was difficult to
elicit information from Schweim,
who robbed several homes near
Walnut Grove and Springfield in
celebration day raids, Kise is
finding his loot and discovering
other victims. In all, the sheriff
says robberies at 18 homes have
been cleared up through Sch
VEINS arrest.
Two places not previously re-
ported are the Andrew Haak and
Albertson homes three miles
north of Sanborr. Schweim said
he stole rifle near Wabasso but
the victim did not report, prob
ably because the gun was not
worth much.
Three guns which he stole have
been recovered from persons who
bought them. One was found al
Morton, aLother at an oil station
in Belview and third at Lake
Crystal. Much of the loot has
been recovered from bitches
where he threw it after his forays
He also confessed that he rob-
