YOUNGSTERS LOOK GOOD.
White Sox Recruits May Make Team

WACO. Tex. March 9.-After one week
of work in the training camp both Man
ager Callahan and President Comiskey
Of the White Sox are wondering II this is
not to be their lucky year. The reason
is that they think perhaps they have at
last procured two or three real live
youngsters who are going to make good
in fast company, and 1t is their opinion
that two or three will be enough to give
all the other clubs a winning battle in
the race of 1872
Comiskey has found two or three great
batters. one III Fourier. who gives prom
Use of being q league leader some day.
Then he has found in MatIicks, the out
fielder bought from Des Moines, a man
who Is accomplished in the fielding end
of the game now so that he can go
farther after fly ball and throw harder
than any regular outfielder on the team.
1t looks If 1t will be hard matter to
keep Matticks off the team, though he
hasn't proven just how strong heis at the
bat. In Mayer. Kuhn and Clemens,
Comiskey has three young catchers who
are throwing in big league style, and ap-
parently have all the other requirements
to make good behind the bat. OF course,
all three Of them cannot be carried, but
it looks as if one OF them. at least, is
sure of job.
In young Rath there has been found a
second baseman who has mastered all
the little details Of play around the bag,
and he seems to be quite at ease with the
bat. It's too early to make sure of the
batting ability Of any of the recruits ex-
cept to note their power of driving the
ball. Fourier showed above all others
as hard hitter.
Five young pitchers look good. and all
have shown far above the average pitch

are Benz. Delhi, Peters, .Mogridge and

having been with the club since the mid
die of August Mogridge, too. had try

pressive one in the lot this spring. but
needs two or three weeks yet before he
can show his worth.
