AFTER REGULAR JOB
WITH WHITE SOX
Veteran to Set Up Rapid
Pace for the Chesty
Youngsters.

Lee Tannehill has signed to play his
tenth season for the White Sox, and
Manager Jimmy Callahan announces
that fanny will make the youngsters
travel some to keep him out OF a resu-
lar berth in the infield.
"Tannehill is q good old war horse"
says Callahan. Amy younGster who
can keep him on the bench will have
to took pretty sweet to me. I expect to
see him loosen up down in Texas and
come back as he has always done in
the past
The White sox veteran Joined the
team in 1903, and, while bit erratic
that first season, established himself
as a good third baseman. Later on he
was played at short, second, and even
first. when other players were on the
injured list. In every position fanny
made good. too, and has earned a repu-
tation for being one of the smoothest
fielders in the business.
At the bat Tannehill breaks no rec
ords. He never was the hitter that his
tionals. was. Jesse Tannehill was one
of the best hitting pitchers ever seen.
Lee pulls away from the pan, and acts
as II he were doped at the platter.
However. when he does make a hit. the
ball generally goes for extra sacks.

games in Chicago. Johnny Evers de-
clared him the best defensive player

Charlie Schmidt IL the veteran back

him for many months. schmidt suffered
from weak arm last year and caught
very few games. He was used a. q
pinch hitter on several occasions with
good success.

Athletes Change Clubs

some OF the most prominent athletes

which reverses the construction the

Of the A; A. U; constitution. which pro-
vides: Nor shall any member OF any
club be allowed to compete as a rep
resentative of such club In case he
has within one year competed as q
other club shall have disbanded or
practically ceased to exist"
The registration committee of the
South Atlantic Association construed
the rule as not affecting an athlete az
but In his Anal ruling. President Kirby
says: THE section referred to prohih-
its any athlete who has represented one
club from representing any other club
of his last competition In which he rep
resented the first club. This period OF

who represented one club on January
