Agricultural Department team. was elect
ed unanimously as president Of the De-
partmental Duckpin League for the
coming year. President Stamper has
been doing a great deal since he took
charge of the team after the death OF
Robert Cummings, who was a man to
whom all bowlers looked with great ad-
miration and a man that It was great
pleasure to know personally, for his
pleasant and agreeable manner. Presi-
dent Stamper hopes to do a great deal
toward building up the Departmental
League and have It the best league in the
city.
He has been in the Department of
Agriculture since May 5, 1894, and in that
time bowling has steadily been on the
increase. and with proper support it will
improve still more.

Chicago, Ill. April T.-Never before
have the White Sox satisfied me so we'll
at this time of the year. II the team
that Callahan has developed to represent
Chicago in the American League race OF
1914 is not well up in front when the sea-
son comes TO a close I will be extremely
disappointed. not because it is my de-
mand that a pennant be produced, but
because / have great hopes for the regu-
lars and recruits that we now have.
In all my baseball career ] have seen no
one group of youngsters that compared
with those now returning from the train
ing trips and ! think that my view is
shared by every White Sox fan.
The American League surely is about
to enter its greatest season. 1 look for
an almost perfect pennant race. with at
least four teams fighting for top place
until the very last. Every team prom
ises TO excel its form Of last year and a
better class of baseball may be expected.
Although asked repeatedly, ! will not
venture to predict anything concerning
the Federal League.
believe that the White SoX have the
best pitching staff in existence and with
the return to form OF Ed Walsh their
superiority is exceedingly great and a
pennant wouldn't surprise me.
