WhitehiII's COACHING

Pilot Boost Club
BY TED MEIER,
Associated Press Sports Writer,

PHILADELPHIA, May 1O.-After
33-year-old Bill Cox bought the
Phillies back in February every
body laughed when he insisted the
team would finish sixth or higher
in the National League.
"You can laugh if you want"
Cox told sports writer's, but I'll
bet carton Of cigarettes We'll fin
ish at least sixth"
At this early stage of the season
the Phillies president appears on
the way to winning his bet. Vic
tors in four of their last five games,
the Phillies have jumped from
eighth to sixth, now have won 7
of IS games.
And, an important clue to base
ball proves, they're winning the
close ones. Yesterday 24,934 fans,
the biggest early season crowd ever
to watch a National League game at
Shlbe Park, saw the Phillies trip the
New York Giants twice, 80 and 81.
What's making the team tick after
SO many years in the cellar? OBJ
servers say it's a combination of
Cox's enthusiasm and the quiet
leadership of Manager Bucky Harris
and Coach Earl Whitehill.
Harris, the boy wonder" of 1924
when he led the Washington SEN
ators to their first American League
pennant, has quietly inspired many
OF the players. Under him the club
has become a good hustling ball
club as one player expressed it.
The atmosphere on the field, on the
bench and in the clubhouse has
changed from dont-care depres-
sion to lets-get- there and beat
those-guys.
I'VE won't be setup for anv
team this year. said veteran
Pitcher ST Johnson. We've got q

great ball. And look how White
hill has brought the best out of
Jack Kraus."
But older Phillies fans. perhaps
taxing a tip from Berlin, are keep
ing their fingers crossed.
They're waiting for that first in
vaslon from the west.

Confident Mats Will Hit

Bluege is equipped with the fastest
team in the league and he's taking
advantage of it. His chief COM
plant is that the Mats aren't getting
on base often enough. The Mats
have the speed but Bluege would
prefer more batting blended with it.
III have to confess our pitching
has been a pleasant surprise says
Ossie, but, on the other hand, our
hitting has been a great disappoint-
ment. Fellows like Case, Spence.

Fourth for Carrasquel
Alex Carrasquel won his fourth
game in the nightcap. He was
staked to a 81 lead in the first
inning when the Mats produced two
runs off Ken Chase on three errors
and four walks. The Mats picked
up another run off Oscar Judd in the
sixth inning, then slammed Judd and
Anton Karl for five runs in the sew
enth as Carrasquel was scattering II
hits. Washington obtained only six
hits.
The two triumphs moved the Mats
back into the first division. They
will attempt to improve on their
fourth-place status starting Wednes-
day night, when they open an inva-
sion of the West with a night game
at Cleveland.
Owen Scheetz, rookie right-hander
who failed to impress in several re-
