Willoughby and Lench Fixtures On Minnis Club
Bradenton Florida March 11. The Phillies may not build a pennant run alone but will stir trouble for rivals. Manager Mec Innis brings 18 years of major league experience including five world series with three clubs. He has not demanded impossible wins and the team is not under strict managerial control. The threat lies in a strong pitcher from last year, a sensational young infielder, several better-than-last-year pitchers, and two minor league returnees. Thompson from Buffalo via the Giants is praised as Second Kid Elberfeld and will play second base. Heinie McInnis has Wrightstone at first, Elberfeld at short, Friberg at third. Outfield remains from last year with Clarence Jonard and others. The staff includes Baecht from last year.
