Nobody can kick en the snowing et tlie locals, ler winning u series jm early in the season is something new, strnnttc and unusual. The Phillies and the Athletics are much stronger than hut year. They heuld net occupy the cellar this year unless beset by a inn of the hardest kind of luck. The White Sex, Ited Sex and Detroit arc net se strong ns lust year, and thia gives the Mackmen an opportunity te slide into fifth place. And if they get that high it wouldn't be surprising te see them hop Inte the Irst division. Cennie's club is en the verge of making geed, and this seemi .te be the year. The Phils get off, te a flying start something which was entirely unex pected. According te the early dope, Bosten, New Yerk and Brooklyn had very treng teams nnd the home folks wouldn't get any easy pickings until they irent West nnd played Cincinnati and Chicago. It was figured they might win a few games this month, but only a few. Therefore the outcome of the BoMen series was a big surprise. Wilhclm showed three pitchers who delivered beautifully, and nle n hard-hitting, aggressive ball club which compared favorably with any in the league. In the four games twenty -seven runs were scored and the base lilts totaled forty three. Bosten hit safely thirty-two times and scored but fourteen runs. This was very geed work when one considers thnt the Braves are one of the strongest clubs in the league nnd their pitchers were in fairly geed shiipe. The outstanding feature of the work of the l'hlls was the spirit he.wn by the players. They act as If they were really interested In the game nnd were trying hard te win. Net once did they let up in the series nnd looked geed even in the third game, which the Braves wen C te 'J. Indifferent play ing has been forgotten, and if the spirit keeps up the l'hlls should be a big surprise in the league. JflOBODY can tell tehen the players trill crack or lehcther they new ere vlavinn ever their heads, tfe wiaffer what it is, Wilhclm has EXPERTS ALL SET Seme Think Tee Is in Cup and Driver Is Chauffeur, but Big Tourney Expected AT LANSDOWNE ON APRIL 24 e meeWoeAifi7 team; in fact, the lest since 1018. license te become enthused. The fans have 'a . Wilhelm Handling Pitchers Well MANAGFK WILHELM did something in the early games which deserves special mention. It is the way he has handled his pitchers. Meadows, Ring and Hubbell arc varsity hurlers, nnd Wilhelm knows it. He also knows that mere than three pitchers are needed during the season If the club intends te get any plncc. Therefore, he has been experimenting, and, best of all, he experimented in the championship games. It takes a let of courage te use a rookie in a league game, but thnt's the only way te find out whether or net the player lias the goods. Furthermore, It's better te iind it out new rather than wait until Inter in the season. Fer example, take the game en Friday. Welnert looked geed in practice, seemed te have everything and Wilhelm decided te use hlui. Lefty get off te a peer tart and was removed. Winters succeeded him nnd pitched n geed game. Wilhelm new knows Winters Is n fairly geed pitcher nnd can be used for a time in his regular turn. Hubbell was saved for Saturday's game, and every one knows hew he came through. Yesterday in Brooklyn KIe tried out two mere hurlers. The Dodgers had been walloped by New Yerk, their pitchers nppenred te be going bad nnd Geerge Smith started. Geerge was net se geed, and Behan, who replaced him, was net much better. The result was thnt our heroes were rocked and socked and departed en the short end of a 10-te-2 score. Lee Meadows was ready, but he will be needed today in the opening gnme against the Dodgers here. Wilhclm figured he had n chance te win with Smith, aad he took it. All of which gees te show that one or two mere high-class pitchers will strengthen the ball club considerably and convert it from a tall-endcr te a Int-division contender. WJIFTEEX pitchers teere tried out in the training camp in Lecsburg, ichich sheics that something ii being done te strengthen that de partment. And the funny part of it all is that Wifidm leeks le be about the best hurler m the bunch of new ones. Beve Is Batting Ball Timely LEBOURVEAU has shown great Improvement ever last year's form and new is one of the stars of the team. Beve has been hitting the ball and Bli wallops huve counted, because most of them came In a pinch. He has driven in mere runs than any man en the team and made himself solid with the bleacherltes in left field. He's as popular out there as any player we ever have had. Beve should be one of the best outfielders In the league. He Is fast and lias a great throwing arm, but his fielding can be improved upon. He is a trifle weak en balls hit in front of him. Whether he loses the ball in the stands or doesn't start seen cueugh Is a question, but he is net se sure of getting these short pep-ups as the long flies hit ever his head. Still, u little thing like that can be overlooked se long as he hits the ball. Cy Williams also is coming through nicely. His two homers en Saturday were terrific clouts nnd several of his hits which crashed against the right ield wall would have been geed for four bases in larger ball parks. Cy is net In the best of shape. He has a fractured finger which is giving him a let , of trouble, but bis playing hasn't fallen off. 1IFILLTA3IS, Beve and Curtis Walker form about the faitcit out. f field in the league. Rapp Has Strengthened Infield BUT there 1 eiie plnjer who has strengthened the club, and as jet has net been given a tumble. He is (ieldie Happ at thlid. fioldle ls'phijlng that het corner ns It hasn't been played since Milten Stock was sentenced te St. Leuis. He gets these short bounders like Heinle Ornh and really Is playing n star game. He is much better thnn his last year's record showed and will be a valuable asset before the bcasen is ever. Geldle has had a career of ups and downs mostly downs. He was tried ut by Cincinnati two years age, and nftcr n brief leek Pat Mernn shipped Urn te St. Paul. Them be bcrnme the best third baseman In the league and Jehn McGraw purchased his release for $15,000. Thnt gave him a let of pub licity and when he joined the Giants Inst jenr tee much was expected of him. ffAPP tried hard, but after a couple of bad dam, uhirh breuaht him u let of panning, he began te icerru, and the rciult u ai that hit ( , playing fell off. lie improved u-hen hr Joined the Phih and new is going as tcell as in the days when he burned up the league in lit.

"I am net sure, however, whether you held the stick like a cue or n bat, Which end de you held in your hands, the Mick pnrt or the knob?"

The scene will be the verdnnt links of the Lansdowne Country Club, neatly bobbed nnd thoroughly mnssaged for the occasion. Eighteen holes of medal play, no handicaps, every man for himself. Seme think they will find the tee In the cup. "I knew there is a stroke in golf," sns our rowing expert, "but who is the coxswain?" It's hard te convince the lady scribes they ought te play. They've heard part of the course Is quite rough. Se" it gees. But, though net nil of them nre familiar with the game, they're willing te take a chance. A full at tendance Is expected. Heady for Circus Lansdowne Is prepared for anything. The natives nre prepared for a sort of circus.

Surprises were handed out when Merrill walloped North Thlllles and Forty eighth Ward trounced Urldcburg. "We should worry." Ik the attitude assumed by the leeis, who took the games merely ns practice tilts, but they must be scored n defeats, nevertheless, and go down en the records ns uch. Merrill surprised North Thlls nnd wen by the score of 4 te 1. The North Phils worked three hurlers, nnd of the let Harry Seibold. formerly of the A'h, looked the best, for he struck out four in the two innings he lnbered. Smith, a home boy, wns next given a chance, and he surprised by his clever hurling. Cetter then went te the hill, nnd it was against his pitching that Merrill did its best. ,, The winners expect te cut a big figure in the independent rnnks this Reason. Scotch Sheridan was en the mil for Marty Wolf son in four innings and al lowed but ene hit.

With this abundance of material en hnnd thcre nre bright prospects of a speedy junior eight and junior four-eared gig crews being developed. This year's Vesper oarsmen are te be coached by Harry De Baccke. He is a former world's champion, having rowed In the famous Vesper eight which went te Paris and wen the title In 1000'. In spenklng of his plans for this season, Coach De Baecke said today : "We will lay great stress en the work of the juniors, ns they will be our future seniors and If they nre correctly taught the fundamentals of rowing, prnctice will make them smooth. The trouble Is some juniors get Inte bad habits when they first start te row, which arc dif ficult te eliminate, nnd If they are taught the correct catch, pull and re covery at the start the reBt is easy." W Ith five Intermediate sweeps and Contain Hanna. Myers, Jehn Costelle. Rabbltt and Falleen. who are all seniors, a senior eight and four will be made up te row In the American Re gatta, nnd Coach De Baecke expects te have a fine senior eight for the People's and National Regattas, both of which will be held here. Costelle Training Dally Paul Costelle will take care of the single sculling. He Is out dally work ing hard te get In shape for his race en June 3 with Walter Hoever, of Duluth, Minn., for the Philadelphia Geld Chal lenge Cup. He is going better at pres ent than ever before this early In the year, and his fellow members are con fident he will be successful In keeping the cup in Philadelphia. Mjcrs will row with Costelle in the senior double events. It Is doubtful If Jehn Kelly will de much sculllne. h he hopes te get In seme of the crews If Business win permit. Fer some yenrs Vesper hns wen the annual Navy Day regatta and Coach De Baecke hopes te be able te put enough winning crews in the races this year te capture the cup again. Jim Flanagan nnd "Wash" Engel, former national champion oarsmen, are active in assisting the coach and endeavoring iu kui eijuiiiim-iii in Kuue Biiape. Leuis Kenney will lend the Malta Club for the fifth time, and nlte will coach the crews, with the assistance of Os Moere, Billy Hnmmlll nnd Harry Sherwln. During the winter virtually all the equipment has been put In geed repair, imriiuuiuriy me ringie weraing beets, which were thoroughly scraped and re varnished. All the sculls and sweep enrs hnve been put in geed condition or renewed. Te Examine Oarsmen It Is the Intention of Captain Kenney te hove a physician examine all the men before allowing them te go in crews, se that no harm will result from racing. Anether Innovation will be the use of stripes te designate n mnn's standing. If a man wins a junior rare In sculls he will be allowed one stripe en the right shoulder, nnd when he wins an intermediate event he will have two stripes, and when a senior event Is cap tured he will wear three strlnes The sarae rule will nnnlv in -n oarsmen, except that the stripes will be en thu left shoulder. After a coxswain has steered in a rowing crew he will be allowed te wear a white (', in i,- middle of the blue maltese cress, worn en a white jersey. The club probably will make Its first entries In the Harlem Regatta In New Yerk en Memerial Day. The main thing just new Is te get crew-H together for the Navy Day Regatta, and Captain Kenney Is in hopes of getting nn eight working every night very shortly. Several of the clubs have a number of junior scullers, and it has been sug gested that a junior octepedo race be added te the Navy Day program. Octo Octe ncde rowing has been mere or less popu lar, hut the main drawback Is thnt only two or three of the local clubs have ectuple scull shells. It Is necessary te strip en eight of outriggers and put en eight sets of scull riggers.

"" Big of body, big In character, they all loved him. Ne black ntrk ym set sgalnst his name during a long and honorable career. He was sober iJ honest. He loved baseball. He played the game honestly; giving bis I? aggressively. Se aggressively, In fact, that they sometimes termed him a "etA.' But that was en the field. ' , Off It he was known for his sunny disposition, his humor and geed uhn. In many ways his start was like that of "Babe" Ruth. "Pep" Anten bttb in as a young giant with the nickname of "Babe."

"DASEBALL and boxing are the peer man's sport. Sitting in en then -- games day In and day out, It is the peer man after all who foots the bill and makes them possible. With big money for the athletes, the moguls must leek te the peer man's steady patronage In the end. Beware lest the salaries are mere than the fan can afford te pay. Sounds Like a Jeke TpHE New Yerk State Boxing Commission can be placed under the heidlit of Y's Krax, nnd get a laugh at that. During the hearing of thnt body when Lew Tcndlcr was exonerated Ut nis auegeu iota in nis recent oeut wiin uneriey ruts, the commission IntlmtM thnt the Philadelphia southpaw should change his style in the ring. ' Tendler was criticized for boxing with His right hand and right feet exteote. It was pointed out te Lew by a member of the commission that Tendler's peceliu style baffled bis opponent and enabled him te deliver body blows that took ii tne steam out or tne recipient. That's a fine flaw te pick in a boxer's attack. Just like suggesting tlit "Babe" Ruth bat from the right side of the plate because he hits tee many hoot runs in uia usual Eiyie. "linTH a number of 6ur boxers going abroad, It might be a geed mere ' for some of our ineligible baseball players te de likewise. They are starting a baseball league In Paris. They CHANGE FOU ILRULE IN COLLEGE PLAY Much of Present One-Point Scoring in Basketball Will Be Eliminated A change has been made in the foul rule In college basketball. It was de cided at the eighth annual meeting of the Joint Basketball Committee, and the change will eliminate fullv a third of the present scoring from fouls, and should, tn the opinion of the commit tee, materially improve the game. The new rule, which is ttie adoption et ene of the suggestions of the sub committee headed by Dr. Rayereft, of Princeton, provides a pennlty hitherto never used In basketball namely, the giving of the ball Inte the pov-csslen of the opponents. This penalty, however, Is Inflicted after tcehnlenl fouls only, personal fouls being penalized under a second new rule. The reading of the rule regarding technical fouls fellows : "When the technical foul Is made the ball le nwarded te the opponents nt the point where the foul Is committed, with the right te put the ball into piny with an ungunrded past. They shall net be permitted te dribble or snoot for goal. This rule does away entirely with the free tlnew as n penalty for tech nical fouls. The pcnulty for personal fouls dif fers according te the point en the court where the foul is committed. If the pcrsennl foul Is committed within n certain urea, at either end of the court, the pennlty will be greater Hum if the foul he committed eiUMdc thnt space. The pennlty area Is a zone formed by the extension or tne present tree-tnrew line te either side of the court. The present free-threw line Is fifteen feet in front of the bosket, or seventeen feet within the court, se thnt the pen nlty zone, which will be formed by n line seventeen feet from the end line of the court, parallel te the back line, will be ns wide as the court. And for personal fouls committed within this 7ene, tlie price paid win ue two free throws. Fer a prsennl foul committed outMile of the zone, the penalty will stand ns at present, namely, a single ftee threw.
