It would suit Wilmington fans
about as well if the Phila. Times kept
its brilliant dope artist, H. Perry
Lewis, home when the Phils come to
Wilmington to train next year. The
following is the article from The
Times:
"Are the Phils in Condition?
"This is about the easiest question
we have yet considered. They are
not. Baseball players cannot be in
shape working two days and then sit
ting around a hotel watching the rain
drops fall and listen to the wintry
winds whistling around deserted cor
ners the third day. It can't be done
without sunshine and lots of it, and
that is just what the Phils have not
had since they filtered into "Wilming
ton some four weeks ago.
"There is comfort in the news that
with the exception of a few teams
that have trained far south, the other
major league clubs are about in the
same condition. It has been a severe
season in all parts of the country .and

followed a period of fair weather that
caused much joy on the part of the
Phil athletes and the town boosters
and led the scribes to a path of op

was of short duration, and the lat

was as dark, cold and desolate as the
forepart.
