WHITE SOX FAIL TO
IMPRESS AS WINNERS
CaIIahan's Crew Lack the Punch
to Win Games From Con-
tenders for the Banner.
By THOMAS KIRBY.

Combining in the consideration tht
reports from the West with the worl
of yesterday, it cannot be said that the
Chicago White Sox have a really im'
pressive ball club, that is, as WORTHY
Contenders for tn. most exalted posi-
ton In the race.
Old aCe-baseballistically speaking
and that ancient failing of Chicago
clubs-light hitting-are the potentia
factors that are most likely TO wreck
the ambition OF those who were mis-
led by the fictitious luster which the
Sox showed at the outset. Before the
race had hardly started they grabbed
four straight-three by one run-from
the despised Cleveland Maps. This put
them UP there, but since they have set
tied, and are now but one place re-
moved from the limbo of the league.
In Buck Weaver, Chicago has The
most scintillating shortstop in the
league. Hardly as steady at times as
Mcbride or a couple Of the others,
Weaver, however, covers acres of
ground, and makes plays that A less
active man would never reach. In AL

heloing second basemsn. This pair gives
Chicago great defensive strength about
the keystone of the infield.
Harry Lord at third, and Hal Chase,
at first. are no longer blushing youths
Of the diamond. and they are already
showing the effects of their compare
lively long careers in the game
In the outfield Jack Collins $ the cIess.
Collins possesses all the attributes Of Il
successful fielder, but Bodie has only
occasional fence-smashing to recon-
mend him for a regular bertl. while
Demmirt was once before Ut and was
sent TO the minors because he was
found lacking.
Comment on the pitching sran must
be more complimentary. Whether Ed
Walsh will be of real value ir'rin- The

from the boys of the White Sox, and
theN only hope that it may help Louis
to regain his health and return him to

doubtless want to help out when they
learn about Lou. Kindly extend to
Ciiger regards from all the boys and

Chris Feinle Is given credit for twiriing

committed himself on the subject. but

n APRIL fool"

Some one with a fine sense of "hu-
NOR" inserted an advertisement in a
chicago paper stating that freight
handlers were wanted at a certain
warehouse and asking the applicants
to call next Wednesday morning."
About 500 homeless and jobIess men
answered and stood in the rain in
the street for hours waiting to get
IN. Finally it was megaphoned to the
crowd that no men were wanted, the
owners Of the warehouse stating that
they knew nothing of the ADVERTISE
ment.
They explained to the crowd that
as it was April /, some person had
evidently thought of a most amusing
Joke"

this stunt was stationed nearby to
