low ow pitch from such position In the National league most of the umpires ride with the pitch. If it's low one, they go down and get their eyes on a level with it. As a result, a pitcher in the National has an advantage-and perfectly lega one-that an American league pitcher doesn't have"
 MT. x believes, and his reasoning seems sound, even to this pool judge of baseball, that the recogni. tion of knee high pitches as strikes would give the defense the aid il needs in baseball. A low throw is harder to hit than high one, and much harder to lift out of the park for a home run. Low balls are the ones hit into the dirt and the ones that make for double plays.
 It might not be a baG idea for Commissioner KennesaW Mountain (No Haircut, Just A Shave) Landis,, to have talk with his whiskbroom and thumb wielders befor the 1941 season starts, and explain anew to them the strike area laid down by the rules committee. In case the judge doesn't want to hurt their feeling, why would oe glad to have the umpires around to my house for tea, and, with Joe LOUIS pouring, tell them a thing or two.

 United Press Staff COrrespOndent) New York, Jan. 18.-(UP)-When the PhillieS finish out of the cellar, that's news. The Phillies aren't like ly to make any news in 1941.
 Four times in the past five years the Phils have finished last. What ever chance they had of coming up for daylight this season went glim- mering when Kirby Higbe, the strong armed young pitcher, was sold to Brooklyn for $100,000 and three players.
 The best they can hope for now is to improve somewhat on last years miserable record-50 won, 103 lost, pct. .327, 50 games from the top and 151a games behind the 'seventh-place Bees. The Phils need a reconditioning job all over but what they need most is first base man, second base combination, power hitter in the outfeld, i'm proved catching and a couple of pitchers like the one they sold to the Dodgers.
 Doc Prothro, who never finished last until he arrived in Philadel- phia, does the best he can with what he has to work with but his task for the coming year appears to be a hopeless one after glimpsing the PhillieS' roster. Nineteen rockies are listed but only seven are from class A clubs. Two are from class B, six from class c, two from class D and two others are semi-proS.
 Jig Puzzle.
 The PhilS infield makeup is any, body's guess. Nick Etten, once up with the As, seems ticketed for first. He hit 321 for Baltimore last season. Harry Marnie. who came up late last season from Ottawa (class O where he hit 1924, is likely to play second. Bob Bragan, last years shortstop, George Jumonville, Marnie'S teammate at Ottawa, and Larry File, semi-pro from Vir- ginia, will battle for the shortfeld berth. Merrill May, who led the Phils in hitting last season with .293, is sure thing at third.
 The outfield lineup is likely to be Johnny Rizzo in left, Joe Marty in center and Dan Litwhiler, who came up last season from Wilkes Barre, in right. Litwhiler played in 36 games for the Phils and hit .345. He is fasS and has power and looks like the brightest ray in the Phils' dull outlook. Other outfelderS are the veteran Chuck Klein, Stan Ben- jamin. who hit .305 for Baltimore and Walter Stewart, who hit .371 for Martinsville, Va. (class D.
 The pitching staff will be built around Hugh Mulcahy, who led the league in defeats last season witE P. He is major leaguer and could | win in better surroundings. Int other first line Philly pitchers iron i last year are Ike Pearson, Waltel Beck, Cy Blanton, Si Johnson. Sy Johnson and Charley Frye (wht didp't win game). Vito Tamulis the softball southpaw, ard Bil Crouch, Montreal right-hander, ob tained from the Dodgers in the Hig be deal, may both be regulars.
 Three Good.
 Of the newcomers Frank Melton whom the Dodgers tried to buy afte the Phils drafted him, Tomm Hughes from Baltimore and Ma. Wilson, a southpaw from Ports mouth, Va, seem the best. Meltol won 10 and lost 10 for Columbus Hughes had a 14-11 record and Will son copped 20, five of them shut outs, and lost 10.
 Others who'll be in camp ar; Frank Hoerst and Gene Lamber from Pensacola, Paul Mastersor and John Podgajny from Ottawa and Roy Bruner and Dale Jone! from Baltimore. Bruner and Poo.

REvOLTA MAKES GOLF COMEBACK IN FRISCO MEET
Illinois Veteran WaIIOps Cooper 7=6 for $l,OOO
 Prize Money

San Francisco, Jan. 20-(UP)- The winter professional golfing con- tingent packed it's duffle and headed for Del Mar, Calif., and Bing Crosby's 5000 amateur-pro invita- tional tournament, Jan. 24-26 today, still talking about Johnny Revolta S lop-sided victory in the $5,000 San Francisco match play open.
 Revolta, Evanston, H., veteran who hadn't won a golf tournament since 1888, found the winning way with 8 vengeance yesterday as he wal loped Harry Cooper of New London, Conn, seven up and six to play in the tournaments 36-hole final.
 Revenge
 It was the third meeting of the two at match play and the lanky, bushy-haired Revolta gave par and Cooper a sound drubbing as he wadded through a driving rainstorm to win $1,000 first money. Cooper who put Revolta out of the PGA tournament in 1887, one up, and beat him in the San Francisco 1885 tour nament, three and two, collected $500 as runner-up.
 Revolta whipped around the soggy course in 69 on the morning round to stand three up at lunch time and completed the rout with a sub-par 35 on the outgoing nine of the after noon round. Cooper had an even par 72 for the first 18 but could not keep up with Revolta's almost per feet putting which gave him F one- putt greens.
 Tony Penna of Dayton, O., was third money winner with $425 for being co-medalist and losing semi flnalist. Jimmy Thomson of Chico pee, Mass, the other semi-finalist got $250. Jimmy Hines if Lakeville N. Y., forced to withdraw after sharing the medal with Penna, won $250.

Williams Not Yet Signed By Red Sox

Boston, Jan. 20-(UP)-G General Manager Eddie Collins of the Bos- ton Red Sox, commenting on a Minneapolis report that Outfielder Ted Williams had signed his 1941 contract at a salary of $18,oO0, said today that no contract has been sent yet to the youthful slugger.
