Philly fans have | seen nothing but} basement teams represent the Quaker town since 1918, when | the Philly Na tionals finished sixth. ‘The Athletics, whe Philly American leaguers, have been in the cellar since 1914, when Connie Mack broke up his famous teamy The Boston Braves routed the crack Quaker team {mn four straight games in the wortd series that year, and the Ath- letics have been cellar beauties ever since. Both Philadelphia teams are in the cellar at the present time. The trov- bie with the National league team seems to be with Willlam Baker, the owner of the club. He selis good players as soon as they will bring money in the diamond market. Connie Mack is said to be on the threshold for better things with his American league youngsters. Ever since 1914 he has been trying out| youngsters by the dozen, trying to find a winning combination. He has tried out nearly 400 players since 1914. Yea, brother, those Philly fans are | certainly getting an overdose of pun- ishment. GYM SPORTS OUTLOOK IS VERY BRIGHT With representatives from the Elke’ club, Y. M. C.

With both Brick Eldred and Charley See under the weather with injured = thumbs, Lafayette, who ts usually played at first base, will probably get a chance to play in right field in the Reaver series. Lafayette is a big fellow and o Raturai hitter, but he is a clumsy fielder and base runner. At iqast he was when he was with Seattle last year, Phil Hovey, who pitched for Ta- the coma during the P. 1, season just) closed, says that Lafayette wiil hit in this league, but he won't guar: antee his fielding.
