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.

Norfolk President
Norfolk, Neb.. March IS.—J. Roy
Carter, last year an active director,
was elected by a unanlmoua vote to |
be the 1D24 president of the Norfolk
Tri-State Baseball club. Fred Humph
rey, secretary of the Norfolk Cham
ber of Commerce was elected secre
tary. J. (Nig) Kane last year's
hurler, was elected playing manager
to succeed Rd 'Relchle, who resigned.
Hike other clubs In this state, the
Norfolk club Is now starting Its an
nual budget drive with good prospects
for financial support. Heretofore, the
club directors have asked business
men for a flat sum with which to pay
the expenses of a professional team.
This year the ball club Is giving the
merchants value received in the form
of tickets to the baseball game. The
merchants, through the chamber of
commerce, are to send these tickets
out to former patrons who will get
free tickets to the grandstand on cer
tain week days.
in tins way the ball club gives the
merchants something for his annual
subscription to the ball club; the
merchant makes friends with his
farmer customer by giving him a free
ticket to the ball game; and the ball
club thereby makes fans of farmers
who seldom come to the games. The
plan has been accepted enthusiastic
ally by Norfolk business men.
