More Philly Cheer. Lee Magee, who played side side, as they often put it, with young Claude Cooper, believes Pat Moran has picked up one of the star out- fielders of the game. “Cooper,” says Magee, ‘‘has cve thing to make a great outfielder which, as Hughey Jennings sa: all any outfielder needs. ‘“He fine hitter,” adds Lee, ‘a brilliant fielder and a fast man with a great arm.” If Texas Claude de- livers as mugh outfielding mer- chandise as Magee believes he will those desiring to see the next world series might as well wire on for Philadelphia accommodations now. Ior the early report that the Phillies were Mostly Junk has al- ready been answered in the Standing of the Clubs. The Unsuppressable. Eleven springs ago Hal Chase, the Jos Gatos Genius, joined Clarke Griffiths Yankees. Hal was the game’s Stormy Petrel from the start. Elven as a youngster just starting he Lkept Griff in suspense for over two weeks by delaying his arrival. Since that date eleven campaigns ago Chase has known the most vivid career in the annals of play. Always a grand ball player, the famous Mexican Jumping Bean was a sta- tionary object compared to California Hal. He jumped the Yanks twice 2nd the White Sox once. He painted with streaks and stripes of gray the domes of Griffith, Stallings, Wolver- ton and Chance. On at least three occasions he was ordered to oblivion by the dope of the game and the ver- dict of the fans. But today he is not only back in the big league, but is starring with even greater brilliancy and batting beyond his usual force. Chase was born on Friday, Febru- ary 13, 38 years ago. This may account for his erratic temperament. Put those who believe that Chase is ?vbout through have not been follow- raign. The Duffer Interjects.
