Ben Chapman Hopes To Bring Phillies Out Os Cellar Spot

<Editor’s note: — This is the 18th and last in a series on the IS4B prospects of the major league baseball teams.) BY LEO H. PETERSEN (United Press Sports Editor) New York. April 11—(UP)— Pennant winning days are at lea*’ a couple of years away for the Philadelphia Phillies and no one Chapman. 80 he has anly one alm Chapman. 8 he ha’ only one aim thl« year—to get the club out of the cellar. His Job is a tough one. The youngsters upon whom he is planning to bring the Phillies national league championships eventually need minor league seasoning, so he is trying to start the difficult climb out of the cellar with the best players be can pick up from the other teams. Those players aren't discards exactly, but neither are they stars. Chapman knows that he can't build pennant winners around them and refers to them as stopgap piayers.He will go along with them until his youngsters acquire the necessary seasoning. He hopes they will be good enough to start the long road back. Owner Hob Carpenter and his general manager. Herb Pennock, shelled out some SZ.'u.OOO in buying Prank McCormick, Jim Tabor, Hkeeter Newsome, Roy Hughes, Art Lopatka.

were with the team last year when Chapman took over from Freddie Fltslmmons in mid-season. Tha* was nart of Chanman's plan to rid the club of players who couldn’t heln but acquire a defeatist at titude by playing with a losing team year after year. The Infield will be ail new with McCormick at first, either Hughes or Danny Murtaugh at second. Newsome at short and Taltor at third. Ron Northey. a pre-war star. Is the only outfielder sure of regular duty, although Vince DI Maggio probably will get the call in center If he can shake off the slump which overtook him last year. Wyro«tek or Lou Novlkoff. up for another major league trial, probably will be the third gardner. Chapman is counting on Hemsiey. near the end of bls playing davs, to give his pitching staff a lot of help. Hemsiey will share catching duties with Andy HemInlck with Hal Splndel as the No. 3 man. Pitching prospects are fair with such huriers as Tom Hughes, Ken Raffensberger, Hugh Mulcahy and Frank Hosrst back from the service. Others on the staff will be Schoolboy Rowe, who also was in the service; Anton Karl, the league's leading fireman last year; Oscar Judd, Humphries, Jurisich. Lapatka, Ross. Charley Rchanx, Jack Kraus. Dick Mauney, and a rookie, Charles Ripple. There is one thing Chapman is sura of—that staff can’t be as bad as the one he had last year. D promises to be a lot better—good enough. Chapman believes, to get the Phillies out of the collar if I the‘ , stop gap" players hold up.

April 11—(UP)—Allie Stolz, bridegroom, commercial artist, golfer and thrice retired prize fighter, grinned happily a« he autographed the contract that gave him a second shot at the lightweight title. "This time l”ve gotta win II for my bride." he laughed through a Biaml Beach tan. eliciting hearty nod* of approbation from a retinue that would have done Justice to a heavyweight champ Instead of a lightweight challenger. "I should* won It before when I fought Sammy Angott.” Allie added with a grimace, as the heads | nodded again. Stolz Just had signed to fight for the crown at the Garden May 17 against Bob Montgomery of Phil adelphla. the lightweight champion In New York and affiliated provinces. It was on May IS. four year* earlier, that he had lost to Angott. "You wouldn’t of lost if I'd been there,” interrupted manager Hymle Caplin. "There'd have been a ca«e of murder if you had seen that decision.” one camp follower, a sixth assistant manager, said. "Well, we’ll win it this time.” Hymle continued. "This will he my . Uxth world champion and my third lightweight champ. 1 won this title with Al Singer and Lew Jenkins—and now with Stolz.” Without tossing a punch or even starting Stolz in training. Hymle had it wrapped up already. Allie grinned again, thinking of how It would feel when the ref raised his hand in victory over Montgomery. Stolz never has fought Montgomery. who has had but a couple of bouts since being discharged from the army last winter. But he has tangled with Beau Jack, the Georgia shoeshine hoy who fought a long and lucrative series with the Bobcat. Beau Jack stopped Stolz in their cue fight with an eye cut. "But we wuz winnin’." Caplin said. Stolz *ince then served in the army and went into hi* third retirement because of a sinus inferDON’T leave your tires on the pavement! When wheels are aut-of-llne —your tirea suffer.
