Athletics Look Good. Phils Uncertain
THE Philadelphia fans nre in a receptive mood this )ear. The war domls
have been swept away, conditions arc getting normal and there has been
a complete relaxation on the part of the public. Now the followers of base.
S ball will go out to the games, calmly look over the various clubs, select their

world will not help a player who has three or four errors in each game and
performs miserably while at bat. Also, the most severe panning will not
affect nn athlete who is out there every day pln.ving a sensational game and
knocking 'em n mile every time he steps up to the plate.
Philadelphia crowds are educated in sport and no one can tell them how
to shape their views. They have their own favorites and do not hesitate
to express themselves. The same goes with the big league bnll clubs. The
fans arc hoping the Athletics nnd Phillies have good teams this year, and
"Wthin another month that tpiestion will be settled in their minds.
The A's look good this )car nnd the Phils are rnther uncertain. Bight
now every one is entitled to n guess on how the home folks will finish in the
race, but it is almost impossible to predict what will happen a month from
now. Perhaps the Phils will discover n wonderful pitcher, Bixey might come
baek and the tenm jump to the front in the pennant derby. The A's may
stark up stronger or weaker than was expected when the actual games begin;
bo it is entirely up to future developments.
Our Phils have everything to gain and nothing to lose. Tf they stick
'in fifth or sixth place during the season the fans will be perfectly satisfied,
to a certain extent, for the majority of guessers, as wc so-called experts nre
labeled, have handed them the cellar position. However, it is better to be
like that tlinn a club which has been unanimously selected to win the flag
and then finish ns low as third. If a team crosses the advance dope and lands
in sixth place instead of eighth, it will get more credit and more support
from' the fans. Therefore the baseball public is waiting to pass judgment on
the home clubs nnd do a little guessing on its own hook.
rVHE rhiU icill need lots of practice for the opening series, which
ocffiin a ireefc fioni tomonoic icitli the Xcir York Oiantt. The
A's, on the other hand, icill get in shape for Washington and tcill
t not have so much trouble.
Ray Morgan Lost to Phillies
T HAS been decided definitely that Itay Morgan will not play with the
Coombsmen this season. The little second-sacker, who was sold to us by
the Washington club last winter, has decided to stick around his place of
business in Baltimore instead of playing baseball, and nothing can change his
mind.' President Baker offered him a larger salary than he ever has received,
but there was nothing doing. Morgan is in a businehs which demands his
entire attention, as the stock must be disposed of before July 1.
That means Hurry Pcaicc will play second, and he will be satisfactory.
He is a very good fielder, but hns lots of room for improvement in batting.
But he will take care of his position on the defense, and that means some
thing. Tenrce has been one of the hardest workers on the team for two years
and his efforts should be rewarded.
Brandell, the University of Michigan infielder, has retired from the
";ame. This wiutcr he sent back his contract, stating he wanted more money.
He was given an advance and wrote back that he was satisfied. Then, at the
last moment, h sent another letter announcing his retirement. That's the
dope on the promising infielder.
President Baker yesterday said that Eppa Bixey probably would be
back within the next month and start training for his old job immediately.
.A. pitcher like Bixey, who stands out as a high-class man, will help the
National Leaguers immensely, for It will give Coombs a hurler who is good
for twenty-five victories in a season. Mr. Baker banked on Eppa to carry
the club along when he disposed of Alexander.

Concerning Pennant Contenders
No. 1 THE RED SOX
mHF. Old Maekian Machine was supposed long ago to have been dismantled
-- nnd scattered to the various winds of a windy universe.
Hut the bulk of it is still on guard under n. Bostonian banner. Eddie
Collins is with Chicago. I tank Baker is with New Xork. Eddie IMank and
Chief Bender have vanished from the reservation.
But of thoe still in harness, the bulk now belongs to Boston. Mclnnls
nt first, ,!nrk Barry nt i-econd, Strunk in the outfield, Bush and Pennock
pitching to AVnllie Schang jou still get a reminder of the old machine that
plowed up pennant pastures from 1010 to 1014, with only one flag defeat in
five years.
The Bed Sox, with five old Athletic stars, have nothing like the sleep-producing
wallop which distinguished the old club.
But they have the greatest defensive machine in baseball a barricade
that can stand up before almost any known assault.
Added to the defensive play of Mclnnis at first and Barry at second, they
iiave in Kvciett Soott. at short, one of the most remarkable infielders of the
last decade. And they have in Oscar Vitt, nt third, a cool, steady, brilliant
third baseman one of the best upon any roster.
Mclnnis Barry Scott Vitt if you can produce a finer defensive infield
thnn this combination we'll inhale your straw lint without the aid of a di
gestive pill.
It isn't a mighty batting array. It won't hit with the old Maekian output
from first to thiid. Outside of Mclnnis, there isn't a member who is likely
to pass above .'-'00.

Honor H. C. II. S. Athletes
Letters nnd numerals were awarded
to members of Cathplic High basketball
five yesterday morning in the autjitq,
rium of the school by Professor John A.
Pfister, The nevly appointed yice rec
tor, Bev. John .T. Bonner, made n
strong appeal to the students to support
sports.
THE attack is a vital department of baseball, but defensive play
carries even greater importance. Owning a ball club, ice'd rather
have n stronn defence and fairly ceak attack any-time than a strong
attack and a iceak defense.
In Other Ways
THK Bed Sox outfield isn't remarkable and yet it, is among the best.
With Babe Until playing left it has in Ruth, Strunk and Hooper. sufficient
power and speed to moie thnn hold its own. It has the punch against right
handers, and neither Strunk nor Hooper is any dub when a blow is needed.
Both are fast nnd sure. Their defensive play is only a shade below the de
fensive strength of the infield.
iA'f) there is Fiank Gilhooley at hand ichen Ruth is needed else-
tcirte.
The Pitching
Tun pitching stnff, with Bush, Moys, Jones, Caldwell and Pennock aided
nnd abetted by Babe Until whenever needed is good, but hardly great.
It doesn't strike us ns being as brilliant as many rank it. If Buth were
to be used exclusively ns a pitcher the case might be different. But switching
the big left-hander from one job to another may not leave him as effective in
the box ns he used to be. Last season, even in an off yenr, he turned in only
thirteen victories.
If Buy Caldwell has one of his good yenrs the outlook here will be much
brighter. But for all that, the present Bed Sox staff doesn't compare with
the old order which carried Ruth, Shore, Leonard and Mays for a steady diet.
The stnff is good enough to go through nnd win a pennant with fair luck.
But the reserves are not sufficient to stand much misfortune. If tho Ued Sox
fail to hold the crest again the slip will come through pitching.
POf icili Schang and Wallets back of the bat there isn't another
i
Miccr(ain finfc in the defenshe chain
Should Win
THE Bed Sox look good enough to win, despite their moderate attack. Be
yond their gieat defensive strength they have on abnormal allotment of
timely batsmen nnd they have an esprit de corps beyond any club we have
known.
Their mornle belongs to the winning order. They never quit. They have
the supreme confidence, that comes from a long tradition of victory. They are
nt their best against the clubs they have to beat whether at home or abroad.
And while their batting eyes may not carry nny .300 glow, any pitcher who
believes he has a light job ahead in facing Ruth, Schang, Strunk, Hooper nnd
Mclnnis may suddenly fall heir to a depressing shock.
Their offensive strength may (not be imposing on copy paper noi in the
Annual Guide, but on the ball field it has the habit of meeting the situation
when u precious tally 13 tequlred to round out a winning afternoon.
TH1H club, composed of old Mackmen and old Red Sox, has the
Victorious Habit of Soul. It is ntorfe up of those icho have found
the open highway to victory and who have never lost the main trail
leading to the top. This means more than a filmy trifle. Quite a bit.

Let the Whole Family Vote
Nothing pleases us better than to have a
chance to show the Briscoe to the whole family
at once.
For there's something about it that appeals
especially to every member.
Father appreciates the wonderful fuel and oil
economy. Mother is attracted by the beautiful
lines. The children like the roomy seats, which
mean that they won't be "scrunched up. And
everybody is joyful over the smooth, easy riding.
"Bring your family in any time.
