April 5 (P—Tt looks now as if the Washington Senators will open the season next Tuesday against the Boston Red Sox without Bucky Harris, their youthful pilot, in the lincup. Harris admitted here yesterday that his injured foot is bothering him to such an estent that he is not certain he will find it well enough to start the regular grind April 10 in Washington. The in- inry, sustained several wecks ago in Tlorida while sliding into a bag, has healed enough to permit Bucky to walk comfortahly, but he has dis- covered he can neither get on his toes nor run without suffering in- tense pain. Recves and Hayes have been tried out at second, but Harris is not yet re who will get the call if he is unable to pla Doth are rookies, although Recves played several games near the close of last scason.

PHANTOMS WONDER TEAM OF TOURNEY (Continued From Preceding Page) | when enmity developed hetween two | of the players, and one of them was promptly dropped to maintain -har- mony in the squad. The Phantoms entered the junior division of the Hartford County Y. | quarter. Every player has a world of a very small player for a guard, plaved a very few games with the Lions. The other guard, Levin, and the center, Ikowitz, have stuck to the Phantoms since they learned to play the game. None of these four is more than 16 years old. Crane, the other forward, is 17 and has had a great scason for a boy playing for the first time. Hewett, 18, has justi- fied his request to join the team and in the final game for the title he played all but a portion of the first time to develop further and achieve greater fame. The second team consists of Tru- han, Carr, Harry Baldesari, Victor Baylock, George Baylock, and Ber- llowitz.

Meanwhile it was playing independent games in | all parts of the state, and at the end | of the year it claimed the state title : by virtue of its 28 victories in 31 ganes played. The boys had a try at baseball | during the summer, but they did not excel in this as in basketball, and it | was with happy anticipation that they watched the approach of the | winter now drawing to a close. Most |of the old players were back when the | first practice was called, and there | were two additions. Tony Crane, a | oy who lived near the rest of the | players but who had never played | organized basketball, joined the | squad, and Alden Hewett was taken on at his own request when it was | seen that his height would make | him a good substitute center. Then another season, with 17 out of 18 games again played away from home, and with 14 of them victories. |Now the Phantoms had better trans- | portation, there were no fights in |the team, and a strong Phantom Re- serve team had been built up to pro- | vide substitutes if they were needed. | At last came the city tournament, and the players decided to enter the intermediate division, but they found they were too heavy, so the manager took a long chance and placed them in the senior division. | Considered Hopeless This was an absurdity to the other ams.
