and in every way promised TO be7a real
addition, a real, live, youthful addition,
Just the kind Topeka has needed, just
what Sheard said he wanted. No. Alb
bott and Sheard got the idea into their
bonnets that Murray was better. ''he is
an older head" and so off went Hisey
from the payroll. THE reason I let
him co. said Abbott, twas because he
IS not consistent hitter. know that
he has been clouting the ball nicely
since he has been with us, but he has
had q lucky streak of late. When Muir
ray gets right he will be more than
twice a match for the man we let go.
The move think is a very good one"
Shades of Caesar! There is Murray,
crippled up from a sprained ankle, out
of the game for six weeks on account
of it, still 1imping like a boy with a
stubbed toe, and yet he is better than
and has fielded his position at least
fairly we'll. He is not consistent" says
Abbott. He has lucky tsreak," he
comments further. That is all right if
the White Sox management wants 1t
that way. But time will prove their
error. On two different occasions, Bald
win, who had charge of Pittsburg dur
ing half of last year, was on the point
and playing. But Abbott declares that
he knows him. That is true and must
be admitted. Abbott was captain of
the Pittsburg Pirates four weeks last
year. Know Indt ne Is d DetlSI llidil,
is his finale. So mote it be. But then
the fans can stand for almost anything
now. 1t would be heresy to sug-
gest that since Murray is an infielder
as we'll as an outfielder he might have
been tried at third, but that would new
er, never do. He might displaee Brown.
Who will it bee Who will it be? One
of the White Sox pitchers is to be re-
leased. The ak will fall in a few days

where, said Abbott this morning. Nc
Kelvey is doing nice work. Blackburn
shows up good. So 1 guess it will have
to be one of the old men, HOWE hasn't
been working very well lately But stlH
am not able to pick the man. 1t
must come in a few days, however"
