HOW SOX HEAVY
HITTER CAME

Chicago. July Sew ball players
have risen to fame and glory in the
short space OF two hours. Yet today
Ping Bodie, the white sox recruit, is
the most talked Of player in Chicago
and probably famous all over the
country. And he rose to this height
In less than two hours.
Circumstances were just right for
Brodie's debut, yet he would not have
been given that trial in the outfield
the day he made four hits IL he hadn't
been sent in by Comiskey TO grant a
friends wishes. Which shows how
luck can break in baseball. The story
of Pings success is interesting. Here
| 1t is:
Matt Larkin, Il millionaire fan of
San Francisco, came to Chicago while
the Browns were playing here and at
once went out to the South Side park
to call on comiskey. They are old
time friends and enjoyed long chat
In Comiskeys palatial private office
before the game started.
Finally the talk drifted around to
Bodie, for Ping comes from Hayes
Valley. Cal.
Say, Commy," remarked Larkin,
+have you given that boy Bodie a
chance YETI"
Sure" was the instant answer.
We've had him in a couple of times
as a pinch hitter and he didn't de-
liver"
Hes the best hitter I ever saw"
returned Larkin. 1--WE sat in the
stands day after day in San Francisco
last year and seen Ping knock fences
to pieces with his terrific drive"
$50 / heard" answered Comiskey,
'but we've been playing Chouinar In
right since Jimmy Callahan was hurt.
Felix is doing WELL"
Larlin looked disappointed, 'Tm
sorry to go, back to Frisco without see
ing Ping play. Ali the folks out there
are anxious for him to make good and
are watching the box scores for de-
tails"
"Just for old friendships sake I'll
have Bodie play today laughed Co
miskey. He called an attendant and
instructed him to tell Duffy to play
Ping at right that day.
It's matter Of history how Bodis
made good When he delivered a two
Dagger and cleared the bases-there
were three on at the time-Larkin ran
over to where Comiskey was sitting in
the box and grabbed him by the arm.
Hes got a big bunch of them left
in his bat" he exclaimed with grin.
And Bodie certainly did, as his three
later wallops bore testimony.
The sox have been looking for
cleanup hitter for five years and
more. Cleveland has its L,ajoie, De-
troit it's Cobb and Crawford, Pittsburg
its Wagner. Now, If Bodie lives up
to his start he'll rank up with the big
bugs. The only trouble is-you never
can tell. Many a batter has started
out almost as promisingly, only to blow
up. Molly Mclean. just sold back to
Springfield by the white sox, is an ex-
ample Of this type. He started last
fall with rush, got hit on the head
with a pitched ball and never was the
same again.
Matt Larkin confided to a number
of reporters after the game that he
had been called east from the Pacific
coast on an urgent call. His lodge in
Maine burned down and his manager
wanted to get instructions.
But really came on and stopped
off in Chicago just to see old Bodie
play"
