Infieldcr on Donovan s Staff New Manager Must
Reconstruct Team Not Hard to Get Players
n IlOnKUT V. MAXWRMi

WEI5I" it tint for ovru other bait clubs. e could conic right out llatfootctl
tod aii'I mi 'lint thf 1'lillllrs would uin the NntiotiHl League pennant.
Rut th !cmii ntlicr cIubH on the llcjdli'r circuit have domctliing to smy about it,
hrncc ift prdnl nn the opening cliorus.
HnUnK lakon a tool,, uc ran astcrt without rccrrvntion that the I'hiln
will bo a pennant u limine ball club In the cason of 101M. It will try to win
the pennant for u lot of hall clubs. Just us our noble Athletics have anslsted
other American I .on gun teams in the past. 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. True,
he made owc big inistiikes. but in n wbn he couldn't help It.
THIS ii ;m ahbi for rAr fco.i of Ihe 1'hih. h'tt a plnm statement nl
I lorts. With nil due rrtircf tn hm fornirr wniif)rr, they irerc
vnnblr tn help him f'nnmb rfM tint hut long tnmiqh tn finU nut irbnt
it lent till tihntit, Crniath Inrknl executive ahility and Unlcr mid Vnt
Unrnn nnrr cnuld net 1101117 tngcthir. 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. DOOVA criertj tu get a real line on An men on the trip north
when games will be played irith Wnihmgtnn, Hoche'ter and the
Alhlettci. T nlil thev Willyum refuses to do any predicting. You
cannot blame him for that

MRS. HOPE GIBSON;
Play on in Second Round of
North and South Tourney
at Pinchurst
KIRKWOOD IN OPEN MEET,
rinrhurst. N. C.. March IS. Mrs.
Doroth.v Campbell ITurd was prepared
today to resume hrr most remarkable
golfing career confident that within
lireo more dajs she would add another
north and south championship to her 1
long list of wins. 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. Champion
ship golf tournaments nrc one circus
after another with them.
Klrkwood Enter
J. H. Kirkwood. the Australian open
golf champion, has joined the profes
sionals who arc gathering for Ute Nortb
and South open championship. Ho dem
onstrated in an exhibition match with
Emmett French. II W. Wuittcmeyer
and Tom Kerrigan that he has a real
game and is capable of giving the best
American and British profc-slonals a
tussle.
Kirkwood was well under SO in his
first tr at Pinchurst II0 gave an ex
hibition of trick shots which amazed a
large gallery of harsh critics.

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

PENN NINE LEAVES
ON SOUTHERN TRIP
Moots Georgotown This Aftor-
noon in First of Four Qatnos
Around Capital
HARVEY CAPTAIN PRO TEM
Eighteen strong, the University o(
Pennsylvania baseball squad left West
Philadelphia station this morning for
Washington, where they play George
town University this afternoon.
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. Mahaffcy and McMullen
are two capable substitutes ready to
jump into the breach nt a moment's
notice nnd piny the same sort of game
as tho regulars.
"Mahcr, the freshman catcher of
last year, will do the receiving. He is
brainy, can throw to second with the
speed of n machine gunner'n bullet nnd
hit with the best of them. Plnncy will
do tho relief work.
"I think Sheffcy if he is right when
ho warms up this afternoon will do the
pitching. Tf not Sinister will get the
cell. Larsen, the lefthander, will see
action before the trip In over, ns will
Llewelyn. That about completes the
team," concluded the coach ns he dashed
for the train
Saturday afternoon Penn handed
Howard Horry's professional team a .1-to-1
reverse In u well -played game on
Franklin Field. Hitting at opportune
times spelled victory for the Ited and
Hlue. Mahnffey subbing for Herman
Harvey in center led with the stick
connecting for two doubles. He nlso
K'orcil two runs. Hud Myers had n dou
ble, while Whitehlll, Peters, Conrey
and Hlnckle made singles,

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.
