BY J. HERBERT ALTSCHUIL

PHILADELPHIA. March B (AP) -- lil war-torn 19%, full‘ of its base-bail uncertainties, Philadel- phia Phillies celebrated the 30th anniversary of their only National League championship.

And itie 1945 edition of the 1on8- time league doormats contains the best Phil prospects in many Years.

"I don't like to Drvphesy,” says general manager Hero Pennock, but he added that if Selective Ser- vice “doesn't take a big dent out of the roster. we'll be considerably better than last year," when the lPhils ended at the bottom of the e

agile pile.

The Phils are an odd assortment of Youth and are. speed and tried

ualities. If veterans Jimmy Foxx,

us Mancuso, Bill and comp- any can be whipped info good shape, the Phils may develop into a. pennant threat.

And then there are the flashy Hamner brothers —— Garvin and Granv‘ plus Elisha (Bitsy) Mott arnd Daniels. the Utica. NY» keystone combination. all expected to fur- nish plenty of speed in the infield.
