1. Uiriiiliigliam. Ala.. March 'So.
hrOV never can tell v,hat will happen to n ball club It? studying the advance
'I dope shipped out during the cold, dr.v winter. Karly prognostications mndc
with all sincerity usually bo Uooio when the athletes nppcnr In the nrenn and
perpetrate performances which cauc even the most somber critics to sit up and
pay close intention. And thereby hangs this tnle. which deals exclusive) with the
jicunant chances and the lO-'O prospect of the Phillies.
Last winter it was possible to get gurgling sissies from the audience when
the Phillies ball club wus mentioned. Ou paper, it looked as if Oavvy Cruvath
Would bo lucky If his leam finished in Ausut or t-omcthlng like that, lhc
dopestcrs agreed it wouW be a hard job to keep the other clubs out of last place,
but It could be done. 1'w Phillies were awarded the tun shoes with pearl buttons
alopg with the choc polish early in .laniiary. for it was figured it the Phillies
couldn't, shine at the head, they could shine at the foot.
IJut things have changed, ns they say in many of our best cellars, liowu
here In the sunny South, the young gentlemen bossed by Mr. Cravnth arc show
ing more stuff than any one dreamed of, and while a critic, even In his wildest
moments, will not hand them n jilacc in the first division, it i nln.ost a cinch that
komc one else will occupy the dump, dark pot ut the bottom of the ladder. J he
Phillies do uot look like a last placv ball club.
The signing of Casey Stengel virtually made the outfield. The eccentric
athlclo fits in well with Cy Williiimx and Irish Mcuscl. iind the trio should form
It strong defensive nnd aggressive set f gardeners. Mcusel has been out on the
roast working with the Vernon club because his arm has been troubling him and
Cravath thought it best to Keep his star .slugger within reach of his physician, who
.has been treating him all winter. Mcutvl says h!n arm is ju4 us strong as ever,
and l such is the case, ho should be ouciof the star outfielders of the league this
Tear.
N VJILL1AM8 also lipoid, especially early in the srasnn. and Stengel
W should mate quite a name for hwriclf in the Phils park with that
short right field fncr. LeBouncau, the' leading slugger of the Three t
League last year, icill be the utility man.
Jack Miller Going Good
THE infield was a big problem beforo the training trip started. Second and
third base had to be filled and no one knew how it wns to be done. Jack Mil
ler was purchased from St. I.ouis and is doing iiiorly at the keystone position.
The TCterau has lots of speed, knows the game nnd wjll be the best man the Phils
have had in that spot since the days of Otto Knube.
Third base, however, looked rry sad and forlorn. Manager Cravath decided
in the winter that Blackburn would not do. to he sold I.enu to Toronto, llarrv
Pcarce then wns tho leading candidate, but the old utility inficlder jumped tin- club
for the Oil League, nnd Cravath was left Hat. (Javvy, however, did not worry.
He knew he had to develop a good third baseman some time, and started work.
He corralled three youngsters Wrightstoue, who plajcd with Idein Chocolate
last year: Halph Miller, a kid from Poit Wayne, and Ilcilmnn. the former bat boy
and ground keeper in Cincinnati.
Wrightstooe and Miller stepped out m frout in the first week, llolh nrc good
fielders and show promise of developing into pretty good hitters. In fact, their
work was to good that Cravath was satisfied the hot corner wonld be well taken
care of. In addition, he has "Stuffy" Stewart, the infielder. who wns sent here b
St. Louis in the Stock trade last year, but failed to report. Stuffy looks good, but no
one knows what he can do with the bat. When he was in the big league before he
played in a few games and amassed the healthy batting average' of .000. This, we
tnight add, is something of n record.
C.lT.tV DAVY I1AXCROFT. briny about thr best shoitstop in the
league, tcill fill that position ami irnrk smoothly irith ,lnek Miller.
That keystone combination looks mighty strong ami will be n bear on the
defense.
' Ludy as Good as Ever
tTUItST base still i a problem, but liawy should worry. He has two very high
X. class persons battling for the job in dene l'nulettc. formerly of St. Louis, nnd
Fred Luderus. Last winter the wise birds chirped about Ludy washing up and
passing out of the act because of old age, but that dope is incorrect. Ludy is just
as good as ever, still has his batting eye ami no one would bo surprised to see hiin
at the initial statlou. He is too valuable n man to bo kept on the bench.
But Paulette also must be considered seriously. (Jeue is n first sackcr par
excellence, nnd in addition, is one of the best all-around uthletes iu the garni-.
Two years ago he played eery position on the St. Louis club, which means he
did some pitching nnd catching. Last year he plucd In tho outfield nnd second
base for the Phils, and nv he is at first It is strange that two such good men
are trying for one job when players are .cnrc. and that is why Crntnrh is opti
mistic, lie knows first bate w ill be well taken enre of
There are but three cut hers in camp Walter Trngressor. who was purchased
from Bostou last y-ar ; Muik Wheat, of Brooklyn, and Witherow. the btar of the
Rockford team last season. Wheat looks like the first string receiver, but Withe
row is likeh to come to the frout when Jeast expected. This youngster was the
first, gpcond aud third-string catcher for ltockford lat year, lie caught in 1125
games, which is worthy of mention, because Kockford played but J'Jii games. Tra
gressor is a seasoned, experienced baikstop, bo the receiving cud of tho club is
well taken care of.
funny whut a difference oue new ninn makes on n ball club. W hen it looked
sad and gloomy for the Phils. I Veil Algernon Cutisej . traded to Boston by t he
tiiants last year, had a scrap or something with Stalling-, and lieorge promptly
asked waiters on tho sorrel-topped bliuger. Only six clubs claimed him aud

needs lots of strengthening.
Phil Squat! Smallest in South
EPPA .ILPTHA KIXKY, who iilinn-t wns trailed to the Cubs ln-t month, is
back again, and appear to be dinging m his old tune form. (Jawy tried to
dispose of the lanky left-hander, not because he was on tho down grade or any
thing like that, but because more pitchers were needed, nnd it wni, figured that
Chicago would give three men for him. Now tho deal is all off. Cnusey is on the
job and IlUcy also will stay. If he can win for another club he alto can win for
the Phils. , ...
Lee Meadows should be better thau last year, and Cravnth has hoped that
George Smith will come through. Oeorge has been coming for three year, and if
he doesn't make good now. he never will.
Of the new men, Uav Lingrel, of Mnssillon, Ohio, looks like n very good man.
It still is early to judge him, but his work thus far has been high class. He wns
recommended by Gene Packard, and it seems us if Gene made a good guess. Mike
Cantwell and Bed Wcinert, two kid southpaws, arc getting ahiug nicely, but they
will have to improve some to stick on the payroll. The same goes for Walter
Betts and Pat Murray.
Of course, everything depends on the pitching staff, and there are three who
are bouud to make good, two good prospects nnd three who have yet to show they
can stnnd the gaff. If Lingrel nnd Smith develop into major league hurlers, tho
club will make u good showing in the race. Boy Suunders nlo should he Included
in the list.
Cravath has the smallest squad in tho South this year, with twenty-eight
candidates. There are nine pitchers, nine infitlders, six outfielders and three
catchers.
Oavvy. however, should be eonsidered a player, us ho will bust into tho line
up quite of'teu. He led the league in homo runs last yenr, (.watting twelve, three
being in u pinch. But he will devote most of his time to managing, and here's
hop lug ho will make good.

More than DOOO persons nltcnded the
Ice Palace, Forty-fifth aud Market
streets, last night to witness tho first
ico-skating carnival for the benefit of
the Beed Street Neighborhood nouse.
Tho affair was onn of the most success
ful ever held on indoor ico in this city.
Leading the program of clnssic ice
dancers were Nathaniel AV. Nlles nnd
Miss Theresa Weld. This pair made
their first appcaranco in public last
night nftcr winning tho national ama
teur championship in New Y'ork Satur
day night for waltzing. Nllcs is rated
among tho greatest tennis stars of the
country and resides in Boston. Miss
Weld is also from Boston. They skated
singly and in pnir beforo tho appreciative
crowd last night.
Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Chapman, lead
ing flguro skaters ot tho Philadelphia
Skating Club, exhibited some poetry of
motion ou bkatcs. Charles dn Bergen,
who enmo all tho way from St. Moritz
to show Phlindclphlans how to fall on
tho ice, performed with several difficult
glides. Pour couples of the New York
Skating Club skntcd thn lancers.
Alan Murray, perhaps the most ar
tistic individual skater located iu this
city, was disappointed, likewise thou
sand Jn attendance, when it was an
nounced that do Bergen objected to
Murray giving an exhibition. Several
women of the committee exercised their
influence without effect on tho manage
ment to permit tho Pacific coaster to
perform.
Aside from tho talent on hand there
were several hundred skaters of Fair
mount Park production who drifted into
the gayety of tho public performers. 0.
Stanley Bogers obliged with nh indi
vidual exhibition.
Joseph Kasx1, who has been giving
Bay Jack soma close races in tho nuar-
ter milo and distance events, came
through last night over a small and slow
field by winning tho -1-10 in the time of
41 seconds. Jack did not compete.
Jack was beaten by Bomkey in tho
half mile in the time of 1 minuto 31
seconds.
The hockny match, which was the
final event of tho program, and which
was played in short periods, resulted in
a victory for Quaker City over a picked
team of local stars.

WUP 10:
By LOUIS II. JAF11S
A little disadvantage like twelve and
one-half pounds didn't btop Willie
Jackson from pumping out nil orts of
socks nnd slams to tho alleged Kuglish
lightweight. Johnny Shepperd, nt the
Olympia Club last night. Jackson re
fused to administer the walloping to the
Briton until an announcement was made
to the effect that Shepperd had weighed
1-10 pounds, while tho New Yorker
tipped the beam nt 133.
Despite Shoppojd'a exceedingly big
advantage in weight, he failed to show
any real class against the smaller man.
Jackson was till over Shepperd, scoring
with his dangerous right cross, right
wallops to the body nnd left hooks to
the jaw. Hhcpnerd proved one thing,
and that was thnt he had no tin jaw.
A number of times Jackson clipped the
Knglibhman flush on the chin, stagger
ing and shaking him up, but at no
time did Johnny go down for a count.
Jackson deserved two knockdowns in
the first round, although Shepperd did
not go down hard. Shortly after the
start of the bout a right-hander made
his kneo lilt the canvas, und later Shep
perd was forced to drop both hands to
the mat iu order to save himtelf from
going down.
In tho last two rounds Shepperd
brought into play a good right cross, but
Johnny didn't land this blow very often.
Outside of being a tough fellow Shep
perd failed to display nuy class more
than that of an ordinary boxer.
Three Britishers were on tho Olym
pia program, and besides Kheppard,
Tommy Holt also went down to defeat.
Bobby Doyle, of New York, socked Holt
for a silk shirt in the second round, a
left hook spilling the Britisher for the
full count. Bddio IDirvcy, another
Englishman, outpointed Jimmy Austin,
thus mnklng the bcore 2 to 1 iu favor
of Uncle Sam over Johnny Bull.
Mike Burns dealt out a terrific
trouncing to Pntsv Conwnv nnd Johnny
Perry drew with npy Ennis.

The reverse last night, while a ter

by no means was a slap at' tho ability
of tho eastern champions. They played
snappy ball, but they were n trifle too
lato with their usual second -half rush
to overtake tho Chicago five.
Pcnn Still Confident
Chicago had tho advantage of playing
on their own court and before n friendly
crowd. Thu tables will bo turned
Thursday night and Coach Lou .Tourdet
and his pupils feel suro that they will
bo able to" even the scries. Tho third
game, if necessary, will be played on the
Princeton court.
To Miko Sweeney, the speedy Quaker
iorward, goes the credit for keeping.thc
Red nnd Blue score up. Out of the
twenty-four points scored by the east
erners, Sweeney accounted for eighteen,
caging six two-polntcrs, netting Mxout
of eight frco throws.

Sturtcyant. Multivane Fan'
;
STDRTEVANT has always been
foremost in. designing ventilating
equipment. Large public buildings,
plants, offices end churches all over
the nation enjoy the better, air condi
tions Sturtevant apparatus makes pos
sible. Architects and engineers have for
years known that the longer life and
more reliable operation of Sturtevant
Ventilating Equipment are what make
a Sturtevant installation the better
investment. Sixty years experience in
putting air to work is built into every
Sturtevant product and is behind every
Sturtevant recommendation. No matter
what type of building is to be ventilated,
Sturtevant machinery can supply it with
clean air in the most economical andeffi
dent manner.
The Multivane Fan was developed
by Sturtevant especially for ventilating
work. Each blade has cup-shaped de
pressions which grip the air and prevent
it from slipping along the blade to the
side of the wheel opposite the inlet.)
This insures evenly proportioned pres,
sure along Jie entire blade and makes st
higher efficiency possible.
Let a Sturtevant representative tell
you how good ventilation has increased
production in others' plants. Write,
phone, or wire for him.
