"a Scott last week 10 Manager Callahan
OF the White Sox. . F..
Then White Sox prospects imme-
diateiy began to pick up in the minds
OF the supporters OF the Chicago team.
Remember when the Sox left here?
They went away winners OF the Am
erican league pennant. There was
nothing to II but 10 designate the
style OF bunting that would 1T best on
the White Sox park flag pole.
They come back here for three
games starting today still away
up In the league, but with the Red
Sox heads above them Callahan has
been accused of using Walsh so much
that the big fellow got tired OF il and
baked. Then there was a slump.
Calls other pitchers didn't whlrl
away the way they were expected 10
and the result was the SoX glided
down the toboggan while the National
speed boys prodded on the leaders
with their wonderful squirt.
Besides Walsh, Benz is Jimmy Cal
lahan's principal asset in the box.
Benz Is the young fellow who-was
used the latter part of last season.
They said he had blown after few
games this year, but he got his splitter
working and now he is hailed as a
Waite Sox hero. 49,.
II Jimmy Scott can only come TO De-
troit In good shape Callahan will be
W. happy again and will start some more
greedy glances at the bunting. Scott
was expected to be of much value 10
the Sox this year but has been con.
fined at a sanitaTium below Chicago
most OF the time.
The last time the Sox were here
they took three of the four games, get
ting all but the one Ty Cobb kicked
over TO the Tigers when he slid into
the ball, sending it into the Tiger
dugout.
Ralph Works has complained as far
as the memory of man runneth back
about not having a chance to make
good with the Tigers.
Works has had to hush that strain
lately for he Is being given regular
work IN the box. Furthermore he Is
making good.
Yesterdays game is the kind that
strong men weep over. Ralphie pitched
good enough baseball 10 win any ordi-
parry game, but his stars went back on
him and booted the game into the lake
where the Maps rescued IL, somewhat
sosgy. II Is true, but still enough OF
game to be credited as a victory for
Dlanding on the Official records OF one
Ban johnson.
AS a general thing Ralph can de-
.Iend upon his teammates TO stick with
him., No matter whether they like
lis philosophy as dispensed POLITICALLY
bctween hands on the Pullman cars,
hey are behind him when the lanky
/toy begins pitching.
Works was one Of the men, who like
lIullin, was given the scare of hav-
Ing waivers asked upon him.
There was time when the asking
>of waivers meant something but 1t
h seems that II doesn't always mean
much now. II meant at one time that
the club asking these waivers was
ftrough with a player and was doing
the other clubs in the major leagues
s tie courtesy Of letting them pay the
waiver price Of 81 500 for the man in
case anybody wanted him.
Now II seems merely to be feeler.
B II seems merely TO be a method Of
frightening players. There is some
talk 1Of insisting that the asking of
waivers be bonafde hereafter and that
the club asking them be forced TO
carry through the idea to completion.
They all have their bad days. The
great baseball player is beloved to
be modest enough to protect himself
on his off days. They come to the
stars as well as TO the mediocre men.
Yesterday saw the two greatest
players on the Tiger team ascend, up,
up, up. Cobb not only handled a hit
so badly that IL resulted disastrously
for the Tigers, but the originator OF
that hit was Joe Jackson, the man
upon whose plays Cobb is said TO be
especially brilliant.
Bush, too, had some bootish work
TO his discredit yesterday II was
true that he had eight chances and
mIstreated only one of them, but his
work and that of Cobb was enough
10 stall the Tigers.
Gamers removal yesterday and the
substitution for him OF Jim Delahanty
In the batting order when Crawford
had been passed filling the bases in
order that Blanding might get Gainer)
IL another indication that Gamers lob
may not last long.
Del has an alibi for his poor work
In that his wrist is not thoroughly
healed. II will be remembered that
this wrist was broken last year and
that Del has never been the Gamer
NJ III Oiu SlhSC.
. When Gamer was removed yester
day Witt was placed at third and Del
ahanty out in the field. This seems
~ 10 be about the only possible sniff
~ that can be made, at least until
Dayey Jones il ready to play again
Poor Tige. II Gamer goes out and
Jones remains injured there won't bo
anybody but pitcher plnch.hitter ON
the bench, and no extra fielder.
The change OF the time OF startinr
the games from o'clock 10 3:l5. II
n to be hoped. Is only an experiment
With the distances to be travelled IN
the city after the game has been
closed. there are enough cold dinners
awaiting fans when the contests start
ats
BE that as II may. however. tho
fa,nes during week days win start ct
49, Ter. and at on Saturdays
