MEADOWS LEE reasons for Fletcher’s op- Fletc ey finds that Boston is bet- ter than an eighth place team. However, since the Phillies beat out Boston last year, Fletcher sees no reason why they cannot repeat. Incidentally Brcoklyn is the other club that he feels he has moer than an even chance to nose out. The Probable Lineup Unquestionably the Phillies of this year will be a considerable im- provement over last year. The elub will present practically the same lincup of last year, with the exception of Sand3 at short and nds looks good. In all probability Williams, Wal- ker and Lee will start in the out- field. The ability of Williams is well known. Lee has _ promise, while €urtis Walker looks like 2 sure enough star. Walker is the youngster secured from McGraw in one of the several deals; made by Philly with w York. Fletcher’s ball club dcesn’t look so much on paper, but it is display- ing a spirit in training that will ‘be something entirely new to the Phil- ly fans. Even that shoutd help. Sarazen ‘Totes Eighteen Clubs In His Golf Bag Golf experts teH you that it is |foolish to carry too many clubs in your bag. Most of them say that a half dozen is plenty. Others stretch the figure to 10, allowing for duplication of certain clubs in case something should happen to! your driver, brassie or mid-iron. Most professional playérs say that the amateus are too fussy about their clubs, that the moment they go bad the blame the slump on the clubs rather than their poor playing. Of course such a system makes busi- ness good for the club professional and they really shouldn't offer ang advice to the contrary.
