Neither Archer nor Bresnahan was
in yesterdays game, Dick Cotter ex-
posing his younger arm to the freez-
ing temperature back of the plate.
Evers is still undecided which of his
two Veterans to use Thursday. If
Archer was in top condition he would
have the call, as he has, handled
Cheney's delivery in the past, and the
manager is taking advantage OF every
point to get that first game. Bres-
nahan has had more practice than
Archer, however, and Thursdays bat
terry will probably be Cheney and the
former Card.
Yesterday was day of rest for
the White Sox, wet grounds stopping
the game between the regulars and
st. Joseph, and the same cause pre-

Present indications are that Ed
Walsh will not bust open the proceed
ings from the pitchers box. His last
game against St. Joe was failure,
and both the manager and the spit
king himself are convinced it would
be better to send another man to the
mound. Ed is rounding to form Slow

out of commission for the rest of the
season by overworking him when he
is not right. -.
