CHANGES IN
WHITE SOX
Neil Sweeney Joins Club To-
day-Sours in the Out
er Garden.
NEW MAYBE
Duluth and Grand Forks to
Play for Sweet
Charity.

Duiuth' Aug. I-Duluth is home
from the successful road trip and
opens the series with Superior this
afternoon. The Sox have made a
splendid showing away from home and
return with the lead firmly in their
grasp. The showing on the road is
al! the more remarkable when it is con-
sldered that Miller has been out of
the game.
Neil Sweeney has come on and will
join the team. 1t is believed that
sours may be moved to the outer
works and the new man PLAYED at
shortstop.
During the present at home series
Darby may try out a new pitcher.
Stark and Hoffman are both going
scod at the present time, but Woman
has had a bad slump. The team is
playing great baseball, the fielding on
.he last trip being sensational at
times. All of the papers around the
circuit have been commenting upon
the swell work that has been put up
by the Sox
On August IA the proceeds of the
baseball game between Duluth and
Grand Forks will he turned over to
the Associated Charities of the city.
Ihls will be one game OF the schedule
that should be patronized we'll by the
hesitating business man of the city.
Though the officials of the local club
are heavily in the hole. are running
badly at the three-quarte.rs in the
financial race. they have shown them
selves to be good sports and have en-
tered the scheme to turn over some
money to the charities.
President McCuen of the local as
scciation has agreed to do everything
in his power to make the day n of
the most successful of the season.
, Those working to increase the fund
to support the work of the charities
throughout thes Year have also agreed
to take hold and endeavor to get out
the biggest crowd that has ever at
tended a mid-week baseball game in
Duluth.
1t is needless to review the work
that has bcen done by the White Sox
the present season. In any other city
of the country that is the size of Du-
luth tho team would have drawn
large crowds to the park. But that is
something beside the present issue.
The officials of the team have shown
the right spirit throughout the sea-
son. never complaining over the lack
of support. and have offered the SER
vices of the team in a worthy cause.
1t will remain to be seen whether the
citizens of the city will appreciate the
right spirit of the members Of the
BOARD of directors OF the team and
contribute toward a worthy cause.
There have been those in the habit
the present season of predicting that
the season would come to an untimely
end. The Fourth was safely passed.
and yet the croakers persisted. For
their information and the enlighten-
ment of some of the citizens who have
not been out to the baseball park as

will be played out and that there is not
the least danger that any of the teams
will disband before the regular close
OF the season.

IL. Grand Forks follows, playing here
tor four games. Winnipeg follows in
turn. The team leaves for the road
after the series with the Peggers re-
turning on August %. The season will
be brought tn "a close on Labor day,
September .. when there will he d
morning and afternoon game between
Duluth n Superior.
During the coming series with SUI
perior. Grand Forks and Winnipeg it
is believed that the lead of the White
SoN will be so thoroughly established
that there will be no chance for them
to be pulled out of first place. The
series with Superior should materially
increase the lead of the Sox. and
Grand Forks and Winnipeg nave had
little success with Duluth on the
White SoX grounds the present sea-
son.
AS the SoN have played good base
ball. dating from the second game Of
the season, and as the winning of the
remnant seems assured. the playing
of a game for worthy charity should
bring out tho largest crowd Of the
present season-and that would not
be a very large attendance.
