| Wow RELUCTANT ABOUT MENTIONNG CLUB WEAKNESSES Forced to Sell Outstanding Players to Meet Payroll, Says Hans Lobert 19-YEAR RECORD VERY BAD Last Won Pennant in 1915 With Bancroft, Alexander, Tincup in Lineup By HARRY GRAYSON Winter Haven, Fla., Apr. 8—(NEA) —He stood there watching his Phil- lies, who appear more futile than ever. Perhaps Jimmy Wilson was thinking of happier days with the world cham- pion Cardinals, and wondering why the took on the Philadelphia headache in the first place. “What kind of a club have you this trip?” I asked Wilson. “ask Hans,” replied the famous catcher, as though he hadn't the hheart to properly describe the Phils of 1937. Anyway, bow-legged Hans Lobert, the third base coach, ankled ‘up, and started to tell about the time he picked Mike Donlin off third base. “T was breaking in with the Cubs ‘and the Giants were calling me ‘Bush,’ and there was Donlin, and Johnny Kling putting on the play by throwing a handful of dust in front of the plate. Three-Fingered Brown ‘wasted one, and we nipped Donlin ‘with feet to spare. ‘There Was a Man’ “Turkey: Mike threw a fit and hop- ped all over me, and John McGraw, coaching at third base, won my ad- miration by remarking, ‘Stand your ground, kid.’ That was the start of our-long friendship. Ah, there was @ man, John McGraw.” But, we wanted to know about the Phillies. “J feel sorry for Jimmy Wilson,” asserts Lobert. “He'll tell you that hhe doesn’t worry, but he does and the situation is so hopeless, Patsy O'Rourke combs the minors and comes in with what is left after every other. scout in the business has had his pick, “7, we do get going well in June, and have an outstanding player, we hhave to sell him’ to one of the weal- thier outfits before the deadline in “for Gerry Nugent to meet the payroll. That has been going on since the. Philadelphia days of Grover Alexander,; Bill | Kille: end Dave Bancroft. Alex and Killefer went to the Cubs, Bancroft to the Giants, and bringing it. more up to date, Chuck Elein to. the Cubs, and last season Curt Davis and Ethan Allen to the Bame club.” ‘Nine.
