mo"
Thus shouts the constabulary; anu
Hughie Jennings is the first man 10
advance to the middle OF the ROAD
shine his star and raise his clLo AT
the on.coming speeders.
The first serious effort TO stop thCse
ranid Sox i'm the west will be made
nv Jennings and the Tigers during INC
nrasent series in Chicago. Returning
from the east, still going at top spec,
thA Sox must meet the second crisis
IN the flag race in the opposition OF
the western teams
Hughie has three cracks at the Gals
before beating II TO ST. Louis. In lliat
time he hopes to throw wrench into
tn Sox machinery and force the foI-
MIR plumber, James j.. to return TO
his old habits and go back to the snop
for tolls.
Callahan's bunch OF youngsters,
steadied by few old heads, had
NEST successful season In the east
Starting with four straight over wash
\ ington and taking the first three from
the Athletics, they opened the eyes
fthose who predicted that the Sox
we're not really strong and that they
would fall down in the east.
they lost the fourth game TO the
champs and then went up 10 Boston
to take two of three. Two OF three
was their portion at New York also.
The Sox return TO the east with the
enviable record OF every series taken,
IA games won and five lost and boost
In fheir percentage from 1871 TO ..SS,
an increase of 81 points.
The Sox owe the greater part OF
their fine start TO the youth OF thcir
X team, their superior condition at the
end of the southern training season
andeto Manager James ]. Callahan
Callahan has Cept. Lord at third, a
veteran infielder, Billy Sullivan be-
hind the bat, and himself in the ont
field TO steady a team of youngsters
Youth always finds 1t easier tLan
age to get into condition TO play ball
in the spring. Although none of the
major league teams was in good shape
at the end OF, the training season.
Calls kids had better chance than
the veterans of other teams.
Then this bunch of live wires Cal
lahan has charged with vim. pepper,
confidence and enthusiasm that is
hard to beat. id Gleason is kept as A
spice box and as a member of the
B board Of strategy. The WhKite Scx's
fight, so noticeable during their games
here, hasn't left them. They used Ii
I'm the east.
Callahan likes hitters. He wants
the men who pound His team has
been leading the league in batting.
Callahan mixes his plays. Nobody
knows what is coming next, He does
the unexpected.
Callahan likes the derrick. He
watches his pitchers closely and when
he thinks he detects a sign OF their
weakening. out runs the crane and as
general thing Big Ed Walsh is sent
in with the wrecking apparatus.
Galatians crew has confidence. His
team has been getting the breaks and
it seems that nobody can smash their
good fortune, Rollie Zeider's triple
with three on in the last game with
the Yankees. Is an example of how
things are breaking for them
Callahan was a star on Pop Arson:
White Stockings when Bill LANCE
Dahlen and those fellows were top
notchers. He is stu a star.
Callahan was once upon time Z
plumber But he saw that there was
more coin In playing baseball thai
in chasing back to the shop for fo-
gotten tolls, so he punched the pipir,
business and tok up the nationa
game, success In which gave him
chance to be a real actor in vaudevili,
for a while.
The Sox that meet the Tigers IL
these two regular and one postponed
game are the same who were here To-
the series on Navin field, except tina
Billy Sullivan is again back In tn,
game behind the bat
Since appearing mere, the Sox hav,
had some accidents, the result o
which has been that Block Is out o
the game with a bum finger. Kuhn
