Lumber baron William B. Cox purchased the team in 1943. On March 9, Cox announced that the team would officially be called the "Phillies" again after former-President Gerald Nugent had named them "Phils" prior to the 1942 season. [1]
In 1943, the team rose out of the standings cellar for the first time in five years. The fans responded with an increase in attendance. Eventually, it was revealed by Cox that he had been betting on the Phillies, and he was banned from baseball.
The Phillies opened spring training on March 18 in Hershey, Pennsylvania. They used the baseball diamond at Hershey High School. [2]

... 37,176 spectators, the largest home crowd in the history of the Phillies ...
... 11 a. m. game for swing-shift war-workers.
[G]ame started at 11:00 AM to accommodate war workers from swing shift[.]
The Phillies were blasting young Harry Brecheen's offerings all over the lot in the first half of the sixth when time was called. They had scored two runs, had men on second and third and none out. But as the affair was called off the count reverted back to the end of the fifth inning with the score tied, 1 to 1.
[A] test blackout interrupted the game for 45 minutes[.] ... The Shibe Park management, prepared for the blackout, a scheduled test alert, kept the more than 6,000 fans happy with a program of songs broadcast over the public address system. The vast majority of the spectators abided by blackout rules but here and there in the stands a match flared as a smoke-hungry fan 'lit up.'
Game was called for rain, but Phillies protested that Cardinals did not properly cover field; Protest upheld, and game completed on July 29; only lineup change was that [Whitey] Kurowski replaced [Jimmy] Brown who was now in Army[.]
Bucky Harris, Philly manager, said after the game he was going to protest the umpire's decision to call the contest, inasmuch as the Cardinals made no attempt to cover the field. Harris cited Rule 24 to back his protest.
Game began several minutes late due to wet grounds ... [In the bottom of the fourth inning,] [t]ime called for rain for 10 minutes[.] ... Game called for rain, second game of doubleheader canceled[.]
[Babe] Dahlgren let himself HBP. That was disallowed; then Dahlgren hit a bases-clearing double & the phils 'won'; But [Mel] Ott protested that Dahlgren should have been out; that protest was upheld, game was resumed on August 6[.]
Before getting his two-bagger, [Babe] Dahlgren was hit by a pitch. The Giants argued he had stepped into the ball and should be out for leaving the batter's box, but Umpire Beans Reardon ruled he should bat again. This led to the game-winning double and caused Manager Mel Ott to say later he would protest the game.
After 11 innings tonight, an exciting baseball battle was called in accordance with a major league curfew rule which prohibits playing later than the midnight hour.
[G]ame called for curfew[.]
... the second game, twice halted because of weather conditions, and finally called at the end of the eighth because of the Sunday curfew, ...
[G]ame called due to Sunday curfew[.]
The New York Giants and the Phillies wound up in a 4-to-4 tie in a ball game that started last night at 9 o'clock and ended after 1 a. m. ( EWT) today. ... It finally was called at the end of the tenth under league regulations that prohibit starting a new inning after 12:50 a. m.
Interrupted by weather for a total of 95 minutes, the game was called at the end of the 10th because of the league rule prohibiting the start of an inning after 12:50 a.m.
[G]ame called for curfew at 1:05 AM; tie to be replayed as part of doubleheader next day[.]
