Are we going to get Roy Corhan
back? That question has been asked
| many times within the last week.
There is no answer now. It's a prob
| lem for time to solve. Roy seems to
| be in strong with the Sox, but it ap-
pears that Zeider is the man who will
| open the season at short for the South
Siders. Should Duffy decide to keep

other hand, should Comisky ask for
waivers on the clever fielder, and find
the coast, he will probably be slated
for a Drummer uni. Every fan in St
Joseph would be glad to see Corhan
stick with the Sox, but in case he
doesn't they'll all be ready to welcome
him back for another season. Next
Wednesday the major league season
opens. Perhaps news of definite
nature may be Forthcoming before that
time.
