BERGER A BIG HIT
WITH WHITE SOx
Hailed as One Of Greatest
Players to Break Into the
Big Leagues.
NOW WITH THE FIRST TEAM
Bill Bailey Of the Chicago American
Calls the EK-IsIander a
Sensation,

Joe Berger, ex-Islander short stop
and White Sox recruit, has won a
home with Callahan. True, Weaver
viii start the season at the short
field position, but Berger Will likewise
be wearing a white hose uniform and
il is a 10 to l shot that Weaver will
have 10 travel pretty consistently TO
keep Joe out OF the game. In last
nights Chicago American, Bill Bailey
pays a glowing tribute TO the former
Islander hailing him as the hit OF the
training trip and as one OF the great
est players who has broken into the
major leagues for many a day. Joe
was put into the regular lineup Sun
day in order to give the Los Angeles
fans a parting glimpse OF their idol.
Here is what Bailey has TO say:
Joe Berger is making the homeward
trip with the first team and he is one
OF the few men IN baseball who has
worked SO hard on a training trip that
he requires a rest. Ever hear of any
thing like that before? Just the same
II is fact, according 10 Manager Cal
lahan.
BERGER WORKS HARD.
when Berger Joined the Sox this
year It was with the determination Of
winning q regulars berth. He had
worked hard during the winter and
was right down TO weight when the
ether players reached California. Then
he started TO work in earnest. He was
the first man OF the field and the last
on and they never practiced too long
for him
Callahan recently received a letter
from Kid Gleason in which the lat
ter said that Berger would not be
harmed II he were given a rest, that
he was already under weight and
locked drawn. Which accounts for
the fact that Berger is travelling north
ward with the regular team instead
OF with the second team.
Callahan says that Berger will take
things easy on the way and will be
given all the rest that he wants.
RATS 500 ON TRIP.
Berger batted 500 in his efforts
! 10 win a regulars berth. He didn't
Dust Weaver. But he did show 20
much that there isn't a chance for him
to get away from the Sox Not unless
Callahan could use him in a great
big trade
For the recruit Is easily the hit G.

greatest players who has broken int

played wonderful game in Los An
geles on Sunday In the two games
he was at bat nine times. He drew
four bases on balls. was hit once and
got two hits in his remaining -four

"On top Of that Berger fielded won
derfully He accepted every chance
