White Sox Do Not Appear Much of a Club in American League Race This Year Chicago Hurlers Not Considered Good Prospects Greatest Injury That Could Happen to Pal© Hose Would Be Injury to Schalk. INTER Haven, Fla, March 26.— Take the word of Johnny Ever*, there la no dis sension on the Chicago Whit# Sox. Evers, who la In charge of the training here In the absence of Manager Frank Chance, branded stories of discord between him and Eddie Collins, and Ray Schalk gs lies. "Nothing but rotten lies,” Evers told ms today. "There’s absolutely no ground for them. VVe know they've been going on. and know the fellow that's responsible. The White Sox do not appear much of a club and no one is attempting to say what they will do. It ap|»ears when one looks over the array no good ball players could be found this year. If the Sox are struck by Injuries It will be very sad, as the reserves are nothing much. Harry Hooper. 15 years In the big league«, and Johnny Mostil are miss ing from the outfield. Both are holdouts. Hooper was cut heavily In salary. Information from his home, Capitoln, Cal., is that lie will not be back. Mostil has been negotiating for a Job with an Industrial league in the middle west. . The outfield will be composed of the fleet Maurice ' Arch Deacon In center, Bill Barrett or Roy Kish In left and either Amos Slrnnk, the old ster, or Roy Ostergard, from Galves ton, in right. "Bib” Falk, erstwhile outfielder, has been ordered to go hack to pitch ing. He was a pitcher In Texas be fore coming up. He's been develop ing a curve ball and will be tried out soon. While Falk wa* not much at field ing. the fact that ha has been put back pitching Is a tip-off to tlfe hull ing problem. The old reliable Ur ban Fabeiv Charley Itobertson and Ted Blankenship are the main re liances. Much is anticipated from Douglas McWeenay, who is bsrl; from San Francisco after wining 20 out of 30 starts. Ted T.yons, George Connally, Gor ham I.everette, southpaws; Mike Cvengros and Harry Courtney, Mollis # Thurston and Southpaw Boy Moore, ex-Atliletic and Tiger, and J. L. Davenport, are other pitching pros peels, hut have yet to show real stuff. If two of them come through, the situation will be all right. Other wise it will he gloomy. T.eon Cadore. formerly of Brooklyn, will be used r.s a relief man If he comes around good. The infield will see Sheelv at first, Collins at second. Harvey McClellan at short, and Kanun at third. Colllna is preparing for his 13th season, hut he’s smashing the 1 tall and fielding nicely after only a week in camp. McClellan does well afield, but Isn't a good hitter. The best looking rookie. Admiral Martin, a shortstop from Quebec, has not excited anyone. Speaking of injury, the biggest blowup would be an accident to Bay Schalk, star catcher. Clyde Crouse, who oam» up front Muskegon last season, and Joe Burns, a youngster from Shreveport, have lots to learn. They ran t begin to compare with the veteran first stringer.
