DOPE ON BERGER AND
EVERS IN CIVIL WAR

Chicago, Sept. 29.-Comparisons in
baseball mean nothing beyond what
a player has already done. What the
future holds for that particular man
IS beyond human conception. An ar
gument is easily produced, however,
by dwelling on the respective merits of
any two individuals. In this, the initial
comparison, Manager Evers OF the
Cubs will stand beside Berger of the
Sox, the pair being slated for duty
at the keystone sack in the coming
city series battles.
This position is one OF the two IN
field berths where the Cubs may be
accorded an edge over the South Sid
ers The difference is slight, how
ever, and may not be noticed in the
coming games, while again Evers may
more than show his superiority over
Berger as an all-around valuable man
for that particular post. Experience
covering a long term is where Eyers
will have some advantage, and it may
be that nothing else will count.
Evers is admittedly a far better
hitter than Berger. The Cub pilot is
hanging around the .270 mark, while
the SoX youngster is a weak sister
with .2l5 or whereabouts. Evers, how
ever, must carry the strain Of a man
ayers role for the first time with a
title at stake. This is bound to play a
big part in HIS effectiveness against
the old Cub rivals. With the breaks
going against him, II is liable not only
TO affect his batting, but fielding as
well.
In the field Berger is probably as
consistent a worker as the West Side
manager Evers may go farther TO his
right for a batted ball, but Berger is
his equal in racing TO the opposite
side. At getting the ball away quickly
both men are above the average. For
consistent fielding Berger has prob
ably done better work by actual aver
age since he displaced Rath as a reg.
ular. This means nothing, however,
Us cold figures do not take into consid

fact that he forgot to bring string

reign on the slab and the lack of hits
against him may be attributed entire.

WHITE HOSE WILL
TRAIN ON THE COAST

The White Sox will train In Cali
fornia next spring. This was assured
yesterday when final arrangements
for the trip were completed. The
exact spot has not been picked, but
Paso Robes, the health resort visited
last spring, will most likely attract
the major leaguers again.
Originally Commy was booked TO
train there for three years, but hitch
occurred, and for a while 1t looked as
though a new camp would be picked.
Callahan figured that Hot Springs,
Ark, would be a good place to take
the athletes, but he never considered
this very seriously.
The round-the-world tour will not
wind until after the training trip be-
gins, but kid" Gleason will direct af.
RATS in the camp. As only six or
seven athletes intend to make the tour
the spring squad will be as big as
usual right from the start. The ath-
letes making the Tound-the.world trip
will proceed TO California as soon as
the long jaunt winds up.

heads from the sand until closely ap-
preached, although wide awake. When
driven from a comfortable resting
place they would soon settle down.
