II has beea said previously on good au-

n,hich has been a source Of worry for
some time, but there is vacancy at sec

Plans have been made TO take the Chi
csro White Sox TO the Pacific Coast Tor
srr,ng training next year. The men VIII
leave the Windy City on February 20 and
arrive in camp at Paso Robes, Cal, on
