Moore Sends Breitenstein to
SecOnd-Katz, Short.
Has New Infielder in Frank
HaffOrd OF Tri-State.
WHITE SOX REGULARS
Lineup Today as They Will to
Open Season.
Zeider Drafted From Seconds
COrhan Sent Down.

With the exception of one position,
Topeka followers of the Chicago Amer1-
! can team saw the White Sox lined up
today in the most probable way they
will meet Detroit in the first game of
| the season.
This exception is that of Jones at
first. 1t Is not likely the big Texan
will have any such honor so soon, al
though it is evident that Manager
Duffy is pleased with the former West
erner's work from the way he keeps
him tackled up on the regular roster.
Collins, who handled the third sack for
the seconds here Monday is the man
slated for the first sack where he made
good showing the past season.
Zeider is regarded as the best man
for short field and has been playing
phenomenal ball on the trip. He was
busy enough Monday when he played
with the second squad, having lifted
six sizzlers off the diamond without a
waver. He did not happen to hit any
to right and so did not get a three bag
ger but he hooked a double and q
single. When the first division arrived
yesterday, Duffy notified him to hang
around the regulars awhile, and Let
Corhan go over and ride the shoulders
of the st. Joe boosters.
Manager Moore of the Kaws has
switched his lineup considerably for
the game at the ball lot today and IS
sending Henry KatZ, the third base
man from the Akron pennant winning
team of the Ohio-Penn league, to short.
Whitney and Sabre both will have d
chance at first and Beecher is the
pitcher selected for the sun garden.
Moore, himself, has elected to watch
the men work from the bench. Harkins
win be given a chance to exhibit him
self behind the plate.
The plan now laid to straighten out
the infieid problem involves a new
third haseman, who may be given the
short or third position. Moore sizes
him and Hopke up for the two posi-
lions. It is not yet decided where
Breitenstein will be used, whether in
the field, in the box, or as general
utility. 1t is barely possible he will be
used on the infield and then there is
Katz, who is a likely candidate.
The new man on the Kaw list is
Frank Hafford whom Moore secured
from the Lancaster club of the Tri-
State league on trade for Larry Quin-
Ian. The latter signed up the other day
but only for the purpose of a trade,
steadfastly refusing to report in To-
peka. Hafford bingled the ball for an
average of .295 in II games in the Tri-
State last year and fieided his position
at the 900 mark. He also stole 26 bases
Hafford makes the fourth player
| Moore has hoisted from the Tri-State.
Whitney halls from the York club, Har-
kins from the Williamsport team, AMI
Crompton from Johnstown.
81 don't want the fans to think they
can draw a line on the team at this
stage OF training said Moore today.
1.-THE men are just working out and
have not gotten into condition. Along
about the middle of April, the KawS
will be ready"
AS q. matter of fact the Kaws have
| had but one real warm day to work out
to date and that day it rained, robbing
them of half the afternoon.
L The 1inoilra today.
