Ah niattort Mimtl. there in ocr) reason to believe that Willjum DonoMin. the new manager, will be wilder and more fcroHoin l-'foro the season i over In other words, the 1'lilN would look good if one hadn't seen the other National League clubs There i u reason for this. In the past, the 1'hlN have not developed nny new talent apparently mailo no effort to add an rogcric strength, took few rookies of nbllitj to the training campn and stood pat on thp few regulars on the ptyrnll President Hakor lias been blamed for nil of this; he has been punned and rnnsteil for not going out ami getting a hall club, hut I do not think ho i to blame He has been badlj adusod eer sine c lie stopped into office.

Therefore, the icouting iJfrm trat nlloicttl to on to 'red, the mnnntjen did tint insist on tjettintj nfir ilnyers. find now the club n paying for it. Bill lias to Build IS A way Tresiilent llaker and the t'hils are on trial tins year Hill Dono van, the new manager, has the confidence and respect of his boss and Kill has been tMd to go ahead and rebuild the ball club. When Hill ultimately finds out where new Mood should be Inserted in the make-up of his club he will make every effort to put It there He says in his constructive program he will spare "0 one. He has taken the job us manager and will do everything in his power to build up n club which will not drag iu the mire of last place. And here is where President Bnker comes in. If he backs Donovan to the limit, it will not be long before a lot of new faces will be in the line-up, for Wild Hill will go out and get the men by trade, purchase or draft. Thej snv it is hard to get players. Chicago didn't find it difficult when the "Hlaok Sox" were kicked out and seven positions had to be filled. Cleve land didn't sit still and howl about hard luck when a new shortstop and a left handrd pitcher were needed to win last year's pennant. Anybody who travels around the. big league training camps will see many high-class players who were lifted from the minor league and semlpro ranks The plajern can be pro cured if an effort is made to get them. This talk of not being able to get good plajers is all bunk There is no use denying the fact that right now the Phils look no better than a seventh or eighth place club. We are willing to concede that they might go through the season with the present line-up and not finish last, basing the con clusion on the fact that the spirit of the club is by far the best that hns been evidenced since the departure of Pat Moran. i f.7 HOl'dll Ihnoian is nx neie to the I'hils in they are to him. they hare eonfidtme in his ability. They realize he Knoxcs baschall and iJ 0 real Iratlei . Fhey alio knnte he intend to strengthen the elub. ithich means that some time somebody will hate to go, and apparently none irnnls to drpnrt. However the seventh-plaee stuff is based on the assumption that the other clubs are the same as tn 7920. Looks Like Cellar Again A8 A matter of fact there has been a big improvement all along the line, so, after allowing the Phils to stay in seventh place for a couple of para graphs, we will t.ow drop them to the eighth notch. The Phils must show a big improvemmt to finish nny place this season. The outfield, with Williams. Neale. Mouse, Stengel and I.ebourveau. looks good, although there are too manv left-hHnded hitters. The other departments are weak. Pnulettc has been canned by Judge Laodls and Donovan now needs n good first, second and third baseman "Greasy" Neale may do at the first ack He uls. needs a couple of real pitchers and n high-class catcher. Fletcher is the only dependable inflelder, as flaw lings. Ilalph Miller JohD Miller and Wrightstone cannot deliver the good-- The only new infielder Donovan has down here is Frank Parkinson prank played with the Paterson Silk Sox. Toms Hiver and other well-known teams. lie is a good semipro athlete, but far from being a big leaguer. He lacks the experience Lee Meadows, fleorgo Smith Cecil Causey. Lefty Weinert, Stan Baum gartner. Walter Rrtts. Walter Hubbell and John Enzmann are the pitchers. Jimmy King; also is among those present, having conic here with Neale in the Ilixey trade. Meadows. Haumgartncp and King look good now. and the others must Improve Tltr. rookir hutlcrs are Hob David, Howard Ciandall. Johnnu Singleton Hill Timmic and George Morgan. Jimmy Kecnan also 1 here, but he looks too small for the big set. Holdouts a V JTOUrt catohois lire 011 the payroll J- year's nine; John Peters, of Birmingham, and Prank Ilruggy. of Buffalo. Peters and Druggy are the best, and probably will do most of the receiving. WI throw is improving, and Wheat is about the same as last season. Donovan was handicapped at the start bj the holdouts. Mcusel, Wheat and S'cale took their time signing the papers, and Cy Wil liam could not leave the farm in Three Lake, Wis. That put the profession out of stop b'-eauso Wild Wtllyum had tn get acquainted with his players, and this whs impossible bv correspondence Therefore the practice games with Washington did no' reveal much because five of the icgulars were missing anil pit hers were used 111 the out field.

The second round of , match play provided Mrs. Hurd with tin ' opponent front Canada, Mrs. Hope Ctlb- I son, w-no was not credited with being nhle to give the Westmoreland plaver much worry. The only golfers remaining capable of making n match nf It against the ehnniplon were Miss Sarah Fnvvnes. of Oakmont. and Mrs. I- C. Letts. Jr.. of Onwontsia, the western champion. As Miss r ovvnes and Mrs. Letts, Jr., are in the lower half of the draw, Mrs. nurd will mil meet one of these, mid should win Manv who have ohcrvrd the vounger generation of women golfers in America are inclined to believe that thev never will attain to such perfection us Mrs Hutd and hold their game for such a long period of time, unless they elimi nate r number of features which appear to go with tournament plav in this country. Some Faults Thev appear to think they can dance until 'J o'clock in the morning the night before they are scheduled to play Im portant matches, go on long rides and devote but little time to the practice of shots in which thoy are deficient. This was noted in Clev-elnnd at the last na tional championship, in Florida this winter and at the nortb and south championships now in progress. Miss Alexia Stirling, of Atlanta, who has been woman's champion of Amer ica since 1SMIJ, appears to be the onjv golfer on this side who is able to defeat Mrs. Hun and she is one of the few who has devoted a great deal of time to practice The women cracks from the Chicago district certuinly take their golf easv mid enjo.v all the side lines.

CENTRAL EXPECTS Mirrors' Nine Looms Like Win ning Combination for This Season DICK WELLS IS CAPTAIN Prospects for Central High having a winning baseball team this your are bright. There nro a number of good ball tosvicrs trying to land positions on the Crimson and Gold nine, and "Doc" O'Hrien Is likely to find himself con fronted with a hard task when it comes time to cut the scpiad. Last year tho Mirrors did not make a very impressive rcqord. but thin sea son, by the looks of things, it should be different. The Broad und Green nthUtes wound up their league season in 1020 around the middle of the lad der This year, liowcrer, it looks like a ihamplonsbip for Central, but you never can tell Several of lost year's- performers are in line, and a snappy aggregation Is being prcilotcil fur the school this si. miner. Among the Tctcraus who will again appear in n Ontral uniform is Dick Wells, captain of the nine, and foot bill I star. The Outfield Dick Is a clever outfielder and will probablv be placed In center with Fisher, the tifteen-joar-old Hash, iu loft, and Stark in right, Other good outllolileis are Alloway, Pomcranto and Honsnll The nilield will include three vets. Tull lends thlH department of the teum at first base where bo is rated ns one of the lust initial suckers in the league. Rnvitch, at short, comes next in im portance, followed by Siirman, probublc gunrdiun of the hot comer. There are several cundldutes for the Kevstone bug, but Ziinm seems to bq the best of the lot Ho probably will get thii will Tour other inflcldcrN who may see action during the year are Gnmbel. Mulls, Helber nnd Murphy. The catching staff looks to be as well balanced as tho outfield.

Herman Harvey, of Mlnersvillc, Pa,, was elected temporary captain In the absence of Joe Strauss, who is ineligi ble because of scholastic difficulties. Harvey Is nn outfielder. The game today Is the first of four to be played In and around the capital on successive days. Tomorrow tho team plays Catholic University in Washing ton, on Wediicsdav, the Middles, in An napolis, and on Thursday, Johns nop kins, in Haltlmorc. The quartet of games wag listed mainly to get the lied and Hlue into shnpe for one of the longest schedules in baseball history at the West Philadelphia Institution. Thirty-one games in nil nro to be pluvcd this season. The home season will be Inaugurated Saturday nn Franklin Field with Bovv doln ob the attraction. Previous to leaving this morning Coach Cnrlfis stated that he looked for a wonderful season if tho pitchers come through as he expects. "The team looks great but I do not want to bo too enthusiastic for the season starts only this afternoon. How ever, if my pitchers come through I feel safe in saying that wc should have a better year than last when we won ten and lost the same number. "This nfternoon 1 expect to start Mike Whitehlll on first, Danny Mc Nlchol on second, Mrl Shrlrcr at short stop and Hlnckle nt third. That will probably be my infield for the trip. Hlnckle was suffering from n bad case of boils last week and I bad intended leaving him nt home. Mike Dec tells me that he has recovered sufficiently to take his place at the hot corner. He played n brilliant game Saturday after noon against tho professionals, his ticlding being particularly good. This quartet is one of the best Pcnn haa had in years. Third base was our weakest bector last year, but this year with Hlnckle at that post we have a well rounded infield. "In the outfield I shall probably start Al Mouradlan in loft. Herman Harvey In center, and Hud Myers In right. Afl three ore capable of covering aerca of ground and can hit with tho liest In th" college game.

BEAUMONT B W A AN MACK But Exportors Play Snappy Ball and Mako Winners Hustlo HOMER FOR RAY MOORE fecial Dtspatch to Kvenlna Public T.etSorr lAkt Charles, La., March 28. Tho Athletics were out on the field bright and early this morning nnd Connie Hnd his clan are elated over the general all round playing against the Beaumont aggregation. The Macklles again won yesterday, but the big score of Saturday was con splcuous by its absence. The American Leaguers came through with n fi to 1 victory, but the Exporters made them hustle to win at that. Not that the A'n did not pound the ball, but they did not put the binglcs across In clusters. All told, they com piled eleven safeties for a total of eighteen bases, but they were unnble to bunch them outside of the second ses sion when they sewed up the game. The losers played a snappy game In marked contrast of their exhibition the previous tiny. Boy Moore started on the mound for the tall tactician nnd had the Exporters at bis mercy with the ex ception of the third inning, when three hits, clustered with a pass, yielded the only alien tally of the combat. Beginning with the sixth, Bommcl went to the pitching peak nnd his work was nil that could be desired. He yielded but two safeties nnd wound up tho afternoon's performance by fun ning tho side in the ninth. The Athletics clinched the game in the second inning. Perkins opened with a single and went to third on Shan non's drive. Frank Walker's Intield out sent Cy over, nnd Moore scored Shannon nnd himself when he dropped the ball over the rightfleld fence for the circuit. Though Whltey Witt tripled in the same Inning nnd Tilly VnIfeor drew a pass, there was no more scoring. Things drifted ulong until a young semipro named Flnley went into pitch in the seventh. Then the Ath letics ngnin got into action by the nld of a pass to Dykes, n steal and Tilly Walker's hit, nnd ndded another in tho eighth after two were out on Frank Wnlker's double, n wild pitch, and Humphries' muff of Hommel's easy fly.
