Philadelphla, 1eb, 3.—Hopes of |the Philadelphia Nationals, rising from a chronic second division team, this year lie in the ability of the cight players who have been obtain. {ed to strengthen the club. From Kitty Bransficld's Eastern championship = Waterbury Iteam have come Yordy, outficlder; | Metz, shortstop, and Ulrleh, pitcher. Walter Kimmick, who has seen ma- jor league service, was obtained in a trade with Los Angeles. Beaus mont of the Texas league has tur- {nished Huber, third baseman, and O'Neill and Fillingim, pitchers. “Chicken” Hawks, a first baseman, | has been obtained from Nashville. ! Fillingim formerly pitched for ths | Braves and a few years ago Hawks | was understudy to Wally Pipp of the | Yankees. The Red Sox clain O'Néill on option. | Manager Arthur Fletcher, former |shortstop of the Giants, so far has released three players who were with him in 1924, Pitchers Philip | B. (Lefty) Weinert and Lerton Pin- |to. and Andrew Woghrs, a third baseman. The Phillies finished seventh last | scason, avoiding the cellar by pro- |ducing some heavy hitting, but | Fletcher believes that he has as- | sembled a squad for the 1925 race | which will edge into the first divi- | sion, The team has been weak in | pitching and has lacked a reliable | third baseman. 1If these holes arc | plugged the club promises to make ta creditable showing. From present indications Walter | Holke, formerly of the Braves, will | appear again at first base, and Hor- |ace Ford, obtained from the same | club, is assured of his post at sec- | ond, with Henfe Sand who came into prominence with the bribery scan- | dal late last scason filling his accus- |tomed position at shortstop. Third |base is a question, with the prospect | that Russell Wrightstone, a eapable hitter, will be shifted to the outfield, leaving Huber and Kimmick to fight | for the place, 1 Harry Harper, one of the best fielding gardeners in the National league last season, will be in right {field "and Cy Williams, home run ' {hitter, expects to resume his duties in ecnter. Wrightstone undoubted, | ly will play left. Leach, Schultz, Mokan, Yordy and Henrich will en- | gage in the general scramble for | outfield work. | Fletcher has a capable trio of catchers in Walter Henline, Jimmy | Wilson and Lou Wendell and the pitchers remaining from the last |campaign are Jimmy Ring, Charley Glazner, Johnny Couch, Joe Oescli- {ger, Harold Carlson and Clarence | Mitchell On February 20 the Phillies will { hurry to their new training camp at | Bradentown, Fla. The pitchers and | catehiers are expected to leave a few days ahead of the other players and all will be in camp March 1. i FLACK ASKS REINSTATEMENT | " Chicago, Feb. 3.—Max Flack, out- | |'fielder with the St Louis Cardinals, | vesterday filed application for re- | instatement with Commissioner Landis.

Looking over the list of leaders for the coming scason, one finds only three who were also includad in the 1915 group. They are, Me- Graw and Robinson in the Natfonal league and Connie Mack in the American, McGraw has been managiig the fants since ‘1902 and Robinson the Brooklyn Dodgers since 1914, Mack tops them all, having been leading the Athleties from the inception of the Amerfcan league in 1901, Two Answer Final Call Some of the clubs have had sev- eral managers during the e ade, while other have seen but one or two changes in that stretch, Two of the game's greatest leaders have passed on, namely, Pat Moran and I'rank Chance. Both took the final call in 1024, Outside the so-callcd “Big Three,” Mack, McGraw and Robinson, Mil- ler Huggins has held his present, rost the longest. Huggins took over tife reins of the Yankees in 1918, And there he has been ever since, having his club right up around the top for the past several seasons, Then come Tris Speaker and Branch Ricke Speaker assumed charge of Cleveland in. 1919, the same year that Rickey was made manager of the St. Louis Cardinals. Two ycars later Ty Cobb and Bill Killefer gained the leadership of the Detroit Tygers and Chicago Cubs, re- spectively. Whole Quartet in 1924 In 1922 came Mec chinie with Pittsburgh, followed by Fletcher of the Phillies the next season, Last year saw the arrival of four new big league pilots—Harris, Washing- ton; Ssler, DBrowns; Baneroft, | Braves, and Hepdricks, Reds. This year Eddie Collins, one of the vet- n players in the game, joins the managerial ranks. Collins will pilot the White Sox. Another thing, too, years ago most of the managers directed their teame from the bench. Playing pilots were practically extinet. In 1 however, there will be six leaders {who will appear in active competi- tion. They include Cobb, Speaker.
