acquired the damp delivery In his
first year out with the SON, 1904. he

best bet is Walsh, the fellow that put
him up there. If nothing happens to
this star, even the smuggling Athletics
Will have a hard task heading the
White SOX. Walsh will pitch as many
games this year and deliver as many
victories as he ever did in any cam
paign. That is enough to assure an
ultimate triumph If the other Chicago
