Leesburg Citizens Plan Royal Greeting for Members of
Our Phils en Wednesday Baseball Training
'' Season Gets Under Full Swing This Week
flHE streets have been swept, the
A ermythlng la In rcadlnees in this
J2Z edition of the Phils. Manager Unclm una ntt ueck are expected nera
- en Wednesday, and the natls arc prepared te turn out and welcome Presi
dent Baker's hired men in true Flerida style. Mayer McKcnzle baa been
atudylng plana for the entertainment of the ball players for some time, and
laberate fishing trips and historic journeys have been mapped out.
As was the case In St. Petersburg, the natives have been dlwufslng the
Chances of the Phils in the National League pennant race. In St. Pcte the
.Brtvca have been awarded the 1022 championship, and by the eame token
the Phlts have been given the flag in Jehn Ileydler's circuit. This presents
a great chance for an argument if a citizen of Leesburg ever meets tip with
a voter from St. Petersburg.
The citizens of this town are well acquainted with the records of the
Phila and knew their backsliding habits, but despite all this they are willing
te tear the rubber off the bank roll and place It en Baker's club te show n
big improvement ever its work of last jear. This is because the natives nre
thoroughly sold en the climate here. The eun shines eery day in the year
and the mercury always hovers around baseball temperature.
A new ball Held has been built hrre. Sam Payne has been working
faithfully en the layout of the park, and all the latest Improvements In the
way of conveniences have been made for Maker's athletes. Despite the elze
of the town, the players v. Ill lind nil the conveniences of a bis leauge park here.
The ulte of this training camp ng picked out by Bill Shettsllne, the
genial business manager of thn Phils, v. he knew Mayer McKenzie before the
Mayer was old enough te vote. The two have been friend? for numerous
yeafa, and it was threuph the Influence e the town's executive that the Phils'
ecfetary came here te leek eer the town as n probable site for the training
caxrfp. Shcttsline wa. impressed immediately with the national beuuty in tha
tevfa and surrounding suburbs, and was convinced that it would be an excel
ling place for tbe Phils te treln cen before he was told that the fishing
wa gteat.
I
I CUETTSLIXE came here last December and then reported back te
, , President Baker at the meeting of the National League losses
i staged in Xcte Yerk before Xctc Year's. Leesburg teas accepted by
I a unanimous vote.
. ' Fletcher Should Help Phillies
rnpE news that Arthur Fletcher has been reinstated by Judge Lnndia was
J. -hailed here with great enthusiasm, probably mere se than the thrllli that
treated the announcement In Philadelphia. It Is. expected that the former
Giant star will arrive here some time this week. He is reported te have left
. hia home in St. Leuis already and will ceme direct te this town. If aueh is
the case, he should arrive almost at the ame time ns thePhlls.
Fletcher is net under contract with the Fhlls ns yet, but President
Baker probably will net have any trouble in signing hlra. It Is said that he
Ja anxious and willing te play baseball this summer and is glad of the chance
te et back with the Phils. Arthur reported for bprlng training last season,
but was called West by the death of his father. It was thought that he would
rejoin tha club In a few weeks, but shortly after the season opened he an
nounced that he had "retired" permanently from the game. One year away
from the diamond was enough for Arthur.
"Fletcher is a veteran whose experience should count for a great deal.
Be has been through the fire of a large number of ball games and he should
beible te steady the youthful Baker infield. As it leeks new, Jack Leslie,
tha) youngster from New Orleans, probably will be stationed en first base,
Jiipmy Smith en second, Fletcher at short and either Parkinson or Goldle
Hatp at third. If Leslie doe net live. up te expectations, Cliff Lee will be
. ealkd from his outfield position and placed at the iiitlal sack. Cliff swings
a ; seau bat and also covers a huge acreage in tbe outfield. He also can play
th first-base position, se that Leslie will have te show real big league form
te kct the job.
i The outfield will be well taken care of with Cy Williams, Lee King.
Wjjghtstene, Lebourveau and Curtis Walker. Lee Meadows Is the ttar of
th pitching staff, but he will have setnu able assistants in Jimmy Iting,
Geirge Smith, Wally Betts, Lefty Wrlnert, Hubbell, Winters, Pinte and
L7 Sullivan. There also are bcveral ether young fllngcrs who should show
aee atutt here at the training camp.
JNene of the Thlls has arrived here as yet, but some of the athletes are
wected te ptft In their appearance tomorrow. There are no catchers ached ached
u2.te.Iave Wlth the Wilhelm athletes from North Philadelphia Station to te
JrW't but three are slated te appear here net later than Wednesday. Hen-v-i
titn and Witherow arc looked for at any moment, and it is probable
tht they will beat their chief te the scene of activities.
.
. f 1UAJOR HeKEXZIE has teen raving about a youngster tunned
4FJ Apperson, and he will be given a chance by Wilhclm. He is a
S pitcher. Yes, he has been nicknamed Jack Rabbit.
Baseball Army en Way Seuth
rptlE baseball season will start en April 12, but this week is really the be
, -LJfinnlng of the baseball year. Virtually ery club In the two major
leagues will leave or have left the North for this section, and within another
wek the major leagues will be playing exhibition games below the Masen and
Dixen Line.
J Texas seems te be the popular State for training this year, and it is
denied that the Lene Star entry has been selected because of the distance from
Mexico. Six major league clubs will train in Texas, four in Flerida, two in
Arkansas, one in California, one in Georgia, one in Louisiana and one In
Alabama.
i Tbe Giants and the Tankpcf, left New Turk today and arr dti te nrrivr

at Catallna Island In the Pacific, while the Robins are at work en the shores
of be Atlantic which Illustrates perhaps as well as anything hew really na

f. Much will be written In the next els weeks about hew the teams "leek"

THREE-CORNERED
A
EASTERN
Celtics' Defeats Change Entire
Complexion of Basket
ball Situation
CAMDEN PLAYS COATESVILLE
The New Tork Celtics are back in
first place in the Eastern Basketball
League, but the advantage of the Goth Geth
ami ten is slight. It is se little that
the race is once mere a there-cornered
nffair among the Celts, Trenten nnd
Camden.
The defeats sustained by Tem Fnrey's
aggregation nt Coatesville en Monday
and Wllkca-Barrc ou Saturday, changed
the entire complexion of the sltuntieu,
and with Krnie Reich out of the line-up
It is expected that the team will have
a hard time in winning second-half
honors.
They did mnungn te cop another
pair of contests en the home fleer yes
terday, defeating Reading 30 te 20, and
handing a reverse te Trenten 25 te 18.
but it was only their ability te cngp
reui tosses mat laimeu tucm a winner
ever the Petters.
Beth clubs caged the same number of
field tosses, five going te either side,
and It must be remembered that teama
appearing in New Yerk are under a
decided disadvantage en account of the
net, and a visiting club la certainly
entitled te at least a sporting chance
in winning en nn alien court.
The team that again looms te the
front in the mind of the fans is Cam Cam
den. The Skeetcrs have dropped three
games, but two wcre extra-period de
feats en the home fleer and by u single
point te the Celts and Trenten.
The Skeetcrs nre ene of the hardest
clubs te beat at home, and had they
come through with victories In these
games would have been en top. While
they are In third place, this la due partly
te the fact that they have net placed
as many contests as the leaders, else
tbev might be sharing first plae.
Tonight they appear in Ceatesvllle
and expect te defeat Leu Sugarman et
al. Then they play at home ou Wednes
day with Reailln3 and hope te muu be
back nt the top of the btuudiuge.

Sccretnry Richard Parcell has been
ordered bv President Jehn IT. Parrel!,
of the Allied League, te hare all the
teams taking part there at that time
as several important matters are te be
considered.
FittticutTs played a part 'in nt least
ene contest, while reports of encroach
ment en the field by spectators und
ether uucenvcntlnnalitics 'ive flickered
lu te headquarters.
Marshall E. Smith has protested its
game with Albien, played en the Wolf Welf
cudeu Shere grounds at Cardington, In
which the surprise of the day was
sprung when the stere boys were elim
inated, te 1. But Manager Jack
Mays claims spectators encroached en
the playing field and that tbe Smith
boys were continually Interfered with
by outsiders.
Referee Harry Baraferd will make hl
report and then the decision will be
rendered. It appears that charges will
be prepared against a played en n
prominent team who at ene time kicked
the ball off Jehnsen's feet when he
had a chance te make u try for u goat.
The Smith wing men wcre handicapped
continually by the encroachment of
spectators.
Play also was rough between the
Slayers and this kept the referee busy,
laggs, the Smith goalkeeper, declares
he was kicked en several occasions and
when he attempted te retaliate was
chased out of the game. The stere boys
then played with ten men and it wns
through this handicap that Albien nab
able te score both it.s goals.

by the auto-buying public, that they are
selling faster than we can get them, unless
we take such unusual and such unprece
dented means te keep a supply en hand.
Chevrolet Cars have been selling all win
ter. Sixty were sold at the Philadelphia
Aute Shew last month. There is a big de
mand for the new Sedan. With the ap
proach of Spring, the demand for all models
will increase. Put your order in early with
your nearest dealer.
If you delay, the chances are you will
be disappointed in obtaining delivery when
you want it. And fine weather is just ahead.
