White Sox Appear As Mystery Club Hooper, Mostil Fail to Return Signed Contracts Team Has as Much Pitching Power as Any of Amer ican League En tries. By NICK FLATLEY. Winter Haven. Fla., March 25.— Misfortune se^ms to hover over the camp of the White Sox here and the t'omiskoy crew, one of baseball's big disappointments last season, will finish well down in the scramble un less a few miracles occur. The club Is without an official manager, and It is impossible to tell whether or not Frank Chance, signed for the Job, will ever appear. He was reported at a sanitarium in his native California last week, and the evidence out that way 1* that ho has no intention of coming back to base ball. But the club officials have It that he will show up eventually. Meanwhile, peppery John Evers Is doing the directing, a manager with rut effect title. Johnny, it might be mentioned, is in better health than he has been for years. And is get ting along very well with the boys. Be might succeed this time if he is given the chance. Evers’ Future Mystery. But the future for Evers and eteryone else on the club is a mys tery right now. Nobody knows, and nobody seems to care, as the song has it. Two regular outfielders, Harry Hooper and Johnny Mostil, are holdouts. According to players’ gossip, both were offered greatly re duced contracts and have decided to retire. Hapenny, a very good utility infiolder, has also resigned for rea sons supposed to be similar. With the exception of a young pitcher and a couple of catchers, the club Is exactly the same outfit that finished the season of 1923, and that outfit doesn't strike any particular fear In the hearts of other managers. Faber, Hobertson, Leverette, Blank enship and Cvengros are the veteran pitchers. The latter two have had enough experience to deliver this leason. Evers expects a whole lot from one it his kids, young Lyons, picked up lest fall from Baylor university In Texas. This young man has a lot it pitching craft and looks anything out a novice. Douglas McWeeny, with the club part of last season. Is now a finished performer and probably will break into the reular mound work. Cndore’s Arm O. K.

Time does not seem to have affected him much. The infield will be as It was. and a mighty good quartet it is, with Sheely at first, the remarkable Eddie Collins at second baae, McClellan at short and Kamro at third. With the holdouts out of the picture nnd Bibb Falk being converted into a pitcher, the outfield Jobs will fall to Bill Barrett, youngster; Maurice Archdeacon, the fastest runner In baseball, and the veteran Amos Strunk. Elsh and Ostrgard remain for utility service. The club Is a mystery. It has ss much potential pitching power as any club in the league, except the Yankees, but It has a bunch of veter ans. with no youthful horde to spur them on. wows tcTmake PRACTICE TRIP Woodmen of the World Baseball club, last year's city champs, are trying to schedule a week's practice trip with nearby towns and colleges.

CALDWELLS^ ^SYRUPPEPSIN vigor by morning How To Keep A Child Healthy A GENERATION ago parents thought that sickness was a Krt of a child's life, but we know tier now. The secret is in the food the mother allows the child to eat, and in watching that elim ination occurs regularly two or three times a day. Mrs. J. Russell of 19,141 Havana Ave.. Detroit, Mich., keeps her family of two young children in perfect health with Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, and Mrs. R. L. Smith of 519 Maple Ave., East Pittsburg. Pa., says her family of three children have never been sick a day since giving them Syrup Pepsin. A Substitute for Phpaica Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a scientific compound of Egyptian aenna with pepsin and suitable aromatics. The formula is on every package. You will find you do not have to force children to take it, and it it much better for them than caster oil, calomel or eoataar drugs like phenolphthalein even U covered with sugar or chocolate. Syrup Papain is mild and gentle m action and your child will have an ■ easy passage without griping or strain. It does not contain nar cotics, and you can give it with absolute safety to in infant at the breast. HM«|ieHinaTMipoon(al Every store that sells medicines sells Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, and the cost is less than ■ cent n dose. Give half a teaspoonful to any ailing baby or child at night when you put it to bed and you will find a happy, laughing young ster in the morning. Take Syrup Pepsin yourself when constipated, and give it to any member of the family young or old, for any ailment due to constipation, such as biliousness, headache, lack of appetite, sleepieaaneaa,bad breath, cankers, fever sores, indigestion, and to break up fevers and colds. Stop that first sneeze or sniffle and you will have a healthy winter. ..
