Here and i'm South

Charley Comiskey and his .Iatest
squad of Chicago American league
BAH tozsers are speeding on their way
TO san Francisco as fast as a well
equipped special train can carry them.
This merry party will arrive here on
Tuesday evening and as usual will
make its headquarters at the Fairmont
hotel This is the third trip that the
old Roman" Of baseball has made to
the coast. for the spring training of
his squad and IL promises TO be the
greatest and most eventful that any
major league club has ever attempted.
Arrived in this city the Sox viii
spend TWO days in limbering up and
practicing before they trot. out on the
field TO take part in their first game
against the San Francisco Seals. In
the meantime Danny Long Will be
showing plenty OF speed in order to
haye his own bunch of tossers MT and
ready 10 do battle with the Chicago .ag-
gregation.

Upon their. arrival here the Chicago
boss viii divide has squad into two Sec
lions One VIII go TO Los Angeles and
play the Angels and semiprofessional
teams in the southland. while the other
viii remain here TO entertain the Seals
After the first week the teams will
switch around. In the meantime each
VIII make several junketing trips, TAX
ing on the various college teams here
and in the south and also such country
mines as can make the necessary guar
antees.
Comiskey has a great a aggregation of
talent unoer lis wing this year He
always has had. I'm fact, but this time
his squad looks even more formida bic
than III did last year and the year be-
fore. Many Of the veterans have been
weeded out and their places taken by
promising youngsters who either sub
stituted last season. or who made good
it'll fast minor league clubs
Among the most promising OF the
young tossers are the two Coast
league favorites. Rollie Zeider of last
years san Francisco club and Arnold
Gsndil. the big Sacramento first base
man. who hit the ball SO hard. Each !
seems sure Of holding his job with the
NoN. though neither is certain yet just |
where he viii play. They will be tried 4
out in several positions.
DtFFEN DIRECTS PLAYING
The playing of: the Sox viii be di- !
rected this year by Hugh Dufey the /
OLD time Boston star. and one of the I
most popular men that baseball has
ever known COmisISey looked around
for more than h year and finally he
decided that Duffey was the very man
10 fiji the shoes Of Fielder Jones who +
probably win never return to the game
again.
Billy sullivan. the great little
catcher. and the man who managed
the Sox last year. viii. as usual do +
the heavy work behind the bat. Though |
not much OF 4 hitter. Sullivan is one
Of The Creates catchers who ever 1
drew on q padded mitt. He is a prime
favorite with the fans Of San Francisco
as well as with those Of Chicago, and
a royal welcome awaits him
Among the other veterans in the
lineup are Fred Parent. the shortstop;
Frank Isbell. the first and second base
man, and Doc White. the southpaw
pitcher. They will all be on the job
All are well known here, having made
the trip with Comiskey for the last
three years, White is sure of his job,
though ii looks as though Isbell and
Parent will have to hustle. They will
have as rivals Zeider and Gandil and Z
the men who show up best will win out
In the outfield Comiskey will have
our old friend. Pat Dougherty. Hahn ,
and Messenger as regulars. All these
men played steadily last year Mes ,
senger filling in during the middle of ,
he season and making good by his ,
elever base running and good stick ,
work He looks like a certainty now. :
