served for the April 1s opening
this year, there being 10000 avail
able all told ranging in price from
SIS cents to $1.65 for the box seats.
With his trusty aid, Johnny
Morrissey, Eynon has gon e
through every letter Of applica-
ton. So far none has been rejected
although in many instances as de-
sirable seats as requested have not
been available. ...
The greatest difficulty has been
with those who requested an un-

Reasonable group allotments
are receiving favorable considera-

established fans, but otherwise
precaution is being taken lest
scalpers and price mixers enter the

BY EVERETT v. GERRY
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 28.-The
perennially hopeful Phillies this
year again will be battling man.
fully to keep out Of the National
League cellar.
Flushed by their 1887 success
they edged past the Cincinnati
Reds to finish seventh-Jimmy
Wilson's stalwarts will try to
climb higher in the 1888 stand
ings. Whether he will use mirrors
in the attempt. Jimmy did not
say.
THREE SOUTHPAWS
The fact remains that the
Phillies' squad reporting at Biloxi,
Miss. for training pretty much
resembled the 1887 aggregation.
Excepting wild Bill" Hallahan,
the sidewinder, newcomers on the
squad are youngsters eager to
break into the majors.
The acquisition Of Hallahan
gives the PhilS three southpawS.
The others are the durable Wayne
La Master and AL Smith, Giant
castoff.
Also slated for a regular turn
on the mound are Bucky Walters,
Claude PaSSeau, Syl johnson and
Hugh Mulcahy. For relief duty
there is slender Hal Kelleher.
Toiling under Southern skies for
a job with the uncertain Phil
pitching corps has Rockies Robert
Allen, brought in from Ports
mouth, in the Piedmont League;
Elmer Burkhart, who labored for
Albany last season; Pete Sivess,
recalled from Baltimore; Tom
Refs, the lanky Kentuckian who
won 18 and lost 8 for Wilkes
Barre, in the N. Y.-P. League, and
Bill Ehrensberger, with Beaumont
last season.
PROMISING SLUGGER
Probably the most promising Of
the seekers after a place with the
Bakermen are Art Rebel, the 23-
year-old Cincinnati slugger who OBJ
tanned his release from the Bar
tlesville (Okla.) club at the end
of the 1897 season, and Frank
Morelaouse, a Rochester, product
whom the Phils obtained from
Milwaukee.
Rebel, who bats and throws left
handed, last year led Western AS
sociation hitterS with a .341 aver
age. Morehouse has played all po-
SitionS in the infield and outfield
and in 70 games in 1887 hit 1866.
He comes here as a second base.

For catching duty Jimmy Will
son again will have Bill Atwood,
