Willard Schmidt, a youngster who has been outshining Vinegar Bend Mizell, combined with the veteran Cliff Chambers to hold the Phils to two hits. Schmidt has hurled 20 innings this spring without yielding a run. The Phils only hit off him in his six-inning stint on the mound was a bunt by Forrest Burgess. Stanky teamed with Red Schoen-dienst at the keystone for the first time this spring. He pushed Schoendienst over to shortstop and played second base himself.
Schoendienst, the regular second baseman, made an error, but otherwise looked good at shortstop.
