The CHIC AGO EACLE.
FINDS NATURAL 800 HITTER
Jack Fournier. Formerly Of Moose Jaw,
Proves TO Be Hardest slugeer
on White Sox Team.

One of the lifelong dreams Of Charles
A. Comiskey seems about to be real
lied. The Old Roman has been In
quest many years of consistent, nat.
ural 800 hitter. Jack Fourier, for.
merly of Moose Jaw, Sask., Is trying
to make his boss happy in this regard
Fourier became 800 major league
swatter by the process of elimination
and substitution. The Federal league
really helped Comiskey realize fond
hope. II also boosted Fourier from
the unenviable post of a trust bench
warmer to that of leading hitter OF a
famous big league team--some dis.
tinction.
IF Fourier ever gets chance to
shine in there they cant keep him
out"
That was q prediction made about
Fourier two months ago. writes
George 8. Robbins in Chicago Daily
News. The big player admitted he
thought 30 himself.
Hal Chase was on first at that time
and simply overawed the big French.
man. Every time Fourier went to
bat as a pinch hitter he struck out or
lifted long fly to the fellows working
In the outer gardens.
Manager Callahan had bunch and

fore the games. Then they became
accustomed to the sight. They took
1t as matter Of course.
Then followed the Jump Of Hal
Chase to the Federal league.
Had not the Federal league med.
died with Comiskey's team the chances
are Fourier would have gone on
warming the timber in the rathskeller
around the American league circuit.

Al Contracts Are Void.

President Gilmore of the Federals
says that the decision of Judge Bis.

monopoly, means that all its player
contracts are void. with or without
the ten.day clause. and that Federal
league owners are now free to grab
any man they wish. Furthermore,
says Silent Jim, his clubs are going
out Immediately and get them, On
the other hand, some of the Fed club
owners say they don't intend to get
any more major league players until

There 10 q reason for Fournier's
constant quest Of the base hit. He
was for long time the object Of jests
and gibes Of the fans and scribes
around the American league.
Like Leibold Of the Cleveland Maps.
Fourier walked up and strolled right
down again--after tanning In the

Fourier:
