EDDIE MULLIGAN,
Third bast. '
Except for the old reliable key
stone kid, Eddie Collins, field cap
tain, the' White , Sox offers an entire
ly new-infield quartet' for American
league fans this coming season. In
place of John Collins, who held down
first base last year, big EarJ Shecly,
home-run phenom of the Pacific
Coast league, handles the initial bag,
and nothing that occurred during the
early games leads to the belief that
Earl will not hold down the job
efficiently.
Captain Collins, of course, is the
fixture at second base, about whom
the new " infield clusters. He has
Ernie Johnson, a somewhat weak
batter, but a fast infielder with some
previous big league seasoning, work
ing with him in short field.
At third base the Sox have
a choice of Hervey McClellan, who"
has been with. the term for some
year's as utility man, and Eddie Mul
ligan, formerly with the Chicago

A Senatorial Career.
NEW congress is going after
democratic record fy vetoed
bills. Senate is only week old.
But is talking already. House is
same age, but hasn't said anything.
Worth mentioning.
New Senator is in tough spot. No
Indian to guide him. Talks all day
about pet bill. Wakes uphold Sena
tors. They veto him. Goes home.
Talks in sleep. Wife vetoes that.
After bill goes through House
wringer it's sent to Senate mangier.
Then to White House. .
President vetoes it
Then reads it.
Bill can be about anything. Might
be measure compelling college pro
fessors to pass literacy test. Or
ordinance limiting bank presidents to
one wife in each state.
Senator is man rom small town.
Raised among honest people. Soon
outgrows his neighbors. Elected to
r Congress on hilariously solemn
promise to build million dollar post-
Little Chance That Golfers Will
Enthuse Over New Type of Ball
New York, April 23. (Special.)
A prominent golf expert says there
is little chance that the country will
enthuse over the present agitation in
Great Britain to make the floater
type the standard golf ball. For
one reason, the dub class is in the
great majority here, and if there's
one thing the novice likes to do it
is to soak an occasional long ball
from the- tee. There are some lead
ing players who score around 300
yards driving, but about 80 per cent
