PHILLIES THREE MOST EXCELLENT HURLERS

The Phillies have long been in need of a good left-hander. Eppa Rixey appears to be filling the bill this year. Eppa started out Impressively in 1912, but later fell off greatly in his work. This season Rixey started out as If he was going to equal or beat his record of 1912. He has pitched consistently good ball all vear, and has gained the poise and confidence to make a steady winner. Rixey is a wiry athlete and physically competent to do powerful work. As he is doing better than any other pitcher on the staff excepting Alexander and Demaree, Pat Moran has about decided to use the portslder in every series. A winning squthpaw who can stand lots of work will mean much to the Phils.
