Impresario of the Phillies, led Ills henchmen out of Philadelphia " this morning, herding them aboard a train for New York for the first Ick of the Journey to 8t. Petersburg, Fin., vvhoro they will prepiro foi the npproavhliiK drive on the National Leaguo Konfnlon. Tho denial Patrick Is likely to havo ft far busier, spring than he anticipated. When tho Reason ended last fall thero appeared to bo the 'same clement of doubt about the line-up of tho Phils tut there Is of the action of the electoral college every fouith jcai, but th!ng have changed, and Instead of enjoying an clegint loaf Pat will be n mighty busy mm for tho next six weeks. It Is the hold-up thing which gummed the works A ic.u ago Pat had Paskert, Cravath and Whitted for tho outfield. t.'iilerus. NlehofT, Bancroft and Stock for tho Infield, and diverse first-class pltchcm and tnlcheiH for the rest of; tt. At present ho has all except Stock Whitted nnd Niehoff It doesn't take long to repeat tho names of tho holdouts but the trio may repre sent the difference between a pennant-contender find a Fccnnd-dlvlsion team. There are no ball clubs cctant which can suffer the loss of threo regulars, two of whom are stars, and still retain their standing In fast iompan and tint goes for tho New York Giants as well as evorj other team Of course, It may be. It probably will be that one or two or all of the holdouts will come to terms, but It Is not certain, and until tluli names are signed to ton tracts Pat must work to fill their positions The leading cltli-en of ntchbMg must find a first-class second baseman, n good third sicker .mil n rattling good outfielder, which Is considerable of a task, even for the great Patrick Infield Problem a Serious One "DECAUSB two of tho holdouts are lnflelders, It Is evident that Mmnns nlggest -'problem Is to braco his Inner works If Niehoff and Stock full lo ceo the light and Insist upon spending the summer on the old farm he must find two men t" replace them. There need ho little discussion of third base foi Mornn has nn aged veteran with him who knows no more nbout plnsing the s.itk tli.m le ander does about pitching. We refer to Hobbv Hvrnc who piob.iblv Invented tho position. If there Is a better fielding third i-acker In the National I.eigue thnn Bobby we havo never seen him. a"d If Itobert totil.l hit llko Stock. Milton would probably be asked to ccrcIo his talents elsewhere There Is llttlo doubt that Brne will be asked to perfoim at the last corner If Stock continues to hold out. So much for the problem nt third base It Is answeicd much c-usiei than the others. If Niehoff stlck3 to his decision to remain outside the fold Mornn Ins but one man In view for the mldstatlon. His name la McGnlllgan, nnd he Is a oung eter T-ho has never et Wn under big league fire McCafilgin conies up well recommended nnd Is touted as a world-beater, but mi arc a lot of others nt this season of tho jear Midsummer lumally finds them pushing tho old plow onco moro, Howevor, McGaffigan looks better thin most of them nnd under tho dlrecv'r of Mrran he ma be nble to fill the bill In discussing the infield possl 1 bllltlcs It would not be well to forget Oscnr Dugev Oscar is f-omtthlng of nn lnflelder, but since Joining the Phillies he has had little chance to show his wares. 3wlng to tho ertlole-cy of the Incumbents' After a discouraging pair of ears Dt.gev was slated for the minors this winter had Niehoff and Stock come to terms, but with both nmong tho missing Oscar will be allowed to lnng nround the ball park one more season as ullllO min-a position he (Ills with praIevvoi th success. And tho outfield without Whitted the outer works will bo weakened nbout fifty per cent, and Cravath the Terrible will bo robbed of an opportunitj of decorating the bench a .d acting as pinch hitler. Moran had intended to pity Paskert In center, WhltteiL In left and Cooper In light this veir with Cravath Utility man and head mauler of the apple in times of stress With tho Durham fish sulking In his tent, however Crnv.ith will bo foi ceil to tike his rcgulai place In the trenches, with Cooper performing in place of Whitted , Braves Look Like a Good Ret THK same sterling pitching staff, the same eneigetic infield and the same Miappy, punchy outfield, probablj will be sen In action for the Br.ivcs again this jear. There are co tain to De n few changes, but for the moat pait the Uraves lwlll be Just as they finished a ear ago Such a t-olldltv of purpose, a bulwark of defense nnd an angle of attack have been developed that to tear nvvaj part of the machine woild bo to damage It baillj, in the opinion of C.eoigo Stsjlllngs. He made a gamo fight a jear ego and he figures he will be able to deliver tho Fame punch ngn'n this jear The catching staff again will depend upon Hank Gortdy, the backstop who plajcd with such amazing skill during tho world.s se.'cs of 1913 Ho will hnve as assistants Illnckbilrn. n good joungster. and Tragresser. IUcco will be given a tr-out, but is not pcctcd to hnin In ahead of the others. Stalling remarked a short time ago that he has hea-d fiom Hill .Tames and that the pitching star believes he can get his arm into sh.ipo for a season this summer. James was useless In the last campaign but was kept un In the hope that he would develop something So far It has been a hope, but ho will be given plenty of time to get In shape this oprlng Dick Rudolph. Nehf. Hughes, lutein, Tyler and Davis are expected to hold up most of the pitching This st iff is plenty fur most an club Stalllngs, In fact.

Thej will meet the thletlcs in a scries of three games at Miami, beginning March 22 Here's a Golf Run for Linksmen to Shoot At 0J 1NE of the finest records for a straight has been entered on tho lists In some when Norman Maxwell was finally beaten last week on the nineteenth green at Plnehurst In tho spring tournament there Maxwell, now the golf prldo of Philadelphia, had won the finals of four straight tournaments and was well on his way In the fifth In the semifinals when the a was handed him bv a joungster, Hobert Hunter, whom he had beaten In the clush for tho gold medal by u matter of six wide and comfortable strokes. "Nineteen" was the unluckv combination, for It was Maxwell's nineteenth match as well as the extra hole which spelt his down fall from the heights of glory. He was simply caught on an off golf di, which every golfer has had, and from an easy lead In the match things suddenlv tool: a turn the other way and Maxwell was through Maxwell started on his run when h landed out In front In the local competi tion for the Gelst Cup at Whltemarsh There was an exceptionally large field entered and most of the best Philadelphia plajers were In tho going Maxwell won the cup for the second time, with a Ictor over Meiedlth Jack, Philadelphia Junior champion. His next tournament was tho fall invitation Jousting nt Shawnee. He wandered along careless-like till he came to Mat Marston, one of the first ten golfers of the country and the personage who was already conceded tho trophy as soon as he laid his name on tho'startlng table But Now Our Pride Has Come a Cropper H E HAD four straight tournament finals meant sixteen straight matches, and streak. He then entered the spring tournament nt Plnehurst, one of the out standing favorites, though the field was one of the largest that has ever started In a tournament In the history of American golf. Maxwell got n seven on the first hole of the thlrty-slx-hole qualifying '' - . A A .1 A a. & Ti 11pA1 taxing vnree Biroives iu kcv uuu ai iuui?u imo i ivitut-nuui, uu. i. iumicu wui thirty-three strokes 'more to turn and a thlity-flve for the home Journej. Golf like that was a tonic for any one and Maxwell responded with another seventy five tho following flay, winning one more gold medal He carried off his first two matches In elegant fashion and had Hunter, his most dangerous opponent, two down at tho fifteenth tee. It looked safe enough nnd Maxwell eased up. "This guy Hunter Is a young feller," was his thought, perhaps. But Hunter took a brace, squared the match In two more holes, nnd then looked gone again when Maxwell easily won the next hole ami only had to halve the eighteenth for a win and entrance to the finals. Hut ho lost It and then badly messed up the nineteenth, or first hole, which had been his hoodoo nt the start of bis medal round. There are two styles of play In most every tournament, medal and match play. Winning the one Is almost as much as winning the other, nnd thero Is a common belief that a medal winner can seldom win tho match play. Maxwell got tho medal at the tournament, so he has that for comfort. His has been a wonderful showing.
