except those who were present, for the Phils were not expected to shine
brilliantly at thin enilv date.
Yesterday the National Leapiors looked better than at nnv other time

excellent shape when he reported to CoombR nt Charlotte He replaced (')
"Williams in center bee aime the elongated farmer had not let become
acclimated. Meusel looks much better than last jtar and should be one of the
stars of the league He is much faster than he looks and certainly can
wallop the old pill
Leo Callahan looks like a good outfielder and will do most of the pla -Ing
in right field this jear Claixy Crauth will be available when needed,
but the youngster probably will hae the call. Leo got on base three times
yesterday, clouting two Mingles and drawing a base on balls. Down South
he also hit the ball well.
Doug Baird played a good game at third, and the players sa he will
do better than Milton Stock at that position. The former Cardinal is a
quick thinker and u brain j plajer.
Today the scene shifts to the Phils' park, where the second battle will
be put on if the weather man is kind. Joe Oesehger and Frank Woodward
are likely to do the twirling, and Connie probabl) will start Xajlor if his
arm feels good. If Oesehger and Woodward come through this afternoon the
Phils will feel better, for with good pitching the club does not look so bad.
Heinle Cnsazzas, the southpaw pitther from the sand lots of Ilrookljn,
said last night that he was going on a journey and soon would be toiling
for Wild Wllyum Donovan in Jersey City. Heinie is just a kid and has
promise of deeIoping into a prettj good hiuler if he takes the game seriously.
On the training trip be made a lut the cry first day when he appeared
on the street wearing a siUer medal on his watch chain. He explained it
vn3 won in a sprint race, thereby treating the impression he was ery fast.
The next day he wore another medal, which was presented to him after a
successful season in the grammar school league. Engraved on the back were
the figures "501," which Heinie explained was his batting average.
IRISH MKt'SKL, teho neiei has heard of Frank ilerhitcell or other
baseball heioes, traj skeptiral when he joic the jewel.
"That 50' don't mean muih to me," he said scornfully. "That
ain't no batting average it's the number of your house in Brooklyn."
Earl Smith Is Not Living Up to Reputation
XTOW is the time for those promising joungsters who threatened to burn
- up the league a few weeks ago in southern training camps to explode
with a loud bang and go back to Oshkosh or Oskaloosa nnd other points in
the tall grass belt. Fortunately, there were few raw recruits in the big
league camps this year, but they were heaily advertised and much was
expected of them.

Tito Winning Type
HIMIH Is one rare type in baseball represented by two men which
serves exceptional creflit npart from mere genius on the diamond.
Wc refer here to Eddie Collins, of the White Sox, nnd George Burns, of
the (Hants. ,'
You may recalt how fragile the average star is how frequently this star ,
or that drops out from injury, accident, sickness or what-not, especially.
what-not. -wSrl
Here nre two citizens ot Halldom's Republic who have shown they could
go the distance, not from week to week, but from jear to year. We haven't
the exact figures before us, but Eddie Collins failed to miss a battle in some
thing like fiOO games, who remained camped on top of the job for more than
three jears without skipping a timo at bat. Burns, who traveled 478 games
before he took n day off with the pennant won, has missed only eight games
In seven yenrs, nnd these holidays w ere given him to rest up for a champion
ship ahead. Burns has never been forced out of an inning by an accident or
from nny illness. ,
When j 011 figure that most stars can rarely play a mouth or two with- j
out cawng in from one cause or another, the stamina nnd condition that can
stand sccii jenis of campaigning without'a quiver is something to think about.
BOTH Collins nnd Hums belong to the hard-playing basc-rttnniinj
class, lehcrc jolts, wrenches and siuldcn ticists so often abound. s
Time for Ancient Rumor
ISN'T it high time some one was starting the nncicnt tumor that Walter. n
Johnson is going back? He has been firing high explosives for eleven
years now and the supply can't last forever. But for some reason few ex
press any burning desire to leave their heads In front of his fast one. Johnson
seems to have slowed up in the same way that John D. has gone broke.
Both have lost something, but they still hae enough.
