HANDICAP TO MORANMEN
By ROBERT W. MAXWELL
ST PETEUSBUUO, Kla., March 23.
Lack of suitable opponents to play at the
training camps Is likely to no a severe
handicap for the Phillies to overcome this
year. Situated its they are upon tho et
Coast, with Tampa as tho nearest town,
there Hre no teams In this vicinity capable
of offering strong enough opposition to give
the big lenguers oven batting practice. Last
vcar the Cubs trained at Tampa and the
preseason series aided both clubs, but now
that the Chicago crowd has moved to Cali
fornia no one. has taken Its place
Karly season biushes aro a great aid to
a major league club, as It gives the mali
nger a chance to look over his new mate
rial and weed out bcfoie the season begins
Mnnv phenoms who pla wondeifnl ball In
practice but lllv terribly In competition
have been discovered In this manner. Man
ager Motan Is up agalnt it this enr and
his task Is a hard one If he puts nut n
championship club. Theie - a gap to he
filled nt Rppnml base and a left fleldci muil
be discovered before the season opens. The
pitchers all look good, but no lino can bo
had on their work through the medium of
practice scrimmages between tho legulars
and the Yanlgans. Mornn has disposed of
three pitchers, a catcher and outfielder
thus far, but be will have to wait until the
northern trip before ho llnds out how good
the other twlrlers ore.
Yesterday a ga-io was plaed with South
ern College, but it could not be taken serl
ouslv The s-corc resembled the outcome
of a footbnll gamo and the Phils romped
thiomrh tho nine Innings. The college
jouths suffeied from an acute attack of
stage fright and didn't get over It until the
third man had been put out In the ninth
Inning. In tho meantime the Phils scored
twenty-one runs and allowed the exponents
of higher education to gather eight hi ores,
whether they wanted thtm or not.
Harvey, who pitched for .Southern, had
lots of "stuff" on the ball, but didn't know
what to do with It. Ills catcher, too, was
a trifle nervous and some original work was
put on Harvey couliln t work very well
when there were men on bases, m to alle
viate this condition he would uncork a wild
pitch nnd clear the sacks. He made live
wild heaves during the game and was ably
assisted by his catcher, who had the sumo
number of passed balls Near the end
Morau loaned Kathcamp to the enemy to
work behind the bat, but Bath did not le
main long enough To even learn the college
jell.
