[ BY BILLY EVANS, | Leepdsrg, la, March 24.—Art| Fleteher, new manager of the Phillies, is an optimist. Fietcher reached the ranks of star-| dom as shortstop for the New York Giants. Trained in the school of John Me- Graw, Fletcher thinks victory all the! time. Defeat has no plage in his vo-| cabulary. Placed in charge of a team that! many ecriticic are wnkind enough to consign to last place, Fletcher is in no way discouraged. He plans to make a better showing than the Phil- lies did last year. e feels that he will be able to carry out his plans. Regardless of whe.e they finish the Phillfes of 1923 will play with a much better spirit than did the team of last year. PFletcher's aggregation will bat- tle all the way. When defeated they will go down fighting rather than meekly accept-| ing the reverse, with the thought, that the playing of the game merely brought the season that much nearer to the close. | Theories of Fletcher. Fletcher never fails to impress up- on his players that they did not finish last in 1922. The Phillies have held down the tail-end position for so many years that Fletchér wants his players to keep in mind the fact they did not finish there last year. The other point that he keeps driv- ing home is that by finishing sixth the club will 'show a substantial im- provement. In various ways he tries to show where the team is stronger than last year and should make a bet- ter showing. Sixth place is the wpot Fletcher is shooting at. There are some who,will insist that he he might as well shoot at the moon, but the Phillics manag- er refuses to see it ia that light. Keep out of last place. Fletcher keeps preaching that theory to his | THROUGH Leesburg, Fla., March 24.—Art Pletcher, new manager of the Phil- lies, once star shortstop of the New York Gilants, has definitely decided that he is through with active serv- ice. In some circles it was believed that Fletcher as manager of the club would make an attempt to get into playing condition in the belief that his presence in the lineup would strengthen the Phillies. Fletcher, however, has dispelled such gossip by the announcement that he isthrough. Only the direst emerg- ency will cause the new pilot to get back into the game. It will be remembered that Fletch- er retired from the game for a year. At that time he believed the retire- ment was permanent. The year's lay- off caused Fletcher to lose some of his sprightliness and despite every ef- fort to regain it he cannot come back to old-time form. $200,000 BASEBALL TWINS FIGURE IN GIANT-SOX New York, March 24—Two base- ball recruits worth $200,000 in the uggregate on whom fans everywhere | have their eyes, were opponents in | the exhibition game yesterday at San | Antonio which the Chicago White §ox (won from the New York Giants 5 to |8, making a second consecutive vic- | tory. | The two, Willie Kamm the $125,000 |inflelder purchased by the Sox and | Jimmy O’Connell the $75,000 outfield- |er, bought by the Giants both from {the Pacific coast played through the |game.
