THE "HITLESS WONDERS."
Qualities That Made the Old White

Qualities That Made the Old White
Sox Club Famous.
Back in 1906 the Chicago White Sox
were known as the Hitless Wonders,
because of their ability to win games
with uniformly poor batting. and
though Frank lsbell, the best club
sWinger on the team finished season
of 1872 games with an average of only
279, this club qualified for a chance
to fight for worlds championship.
And what is still more to the point.
they won the great series from Frank
Chances Cubs when that aggregation
was at its best.
But there was reason for this, and
the reason was the wonderful pitch
ing staff. which consisted of Ed
Walsh. Doc White, Nick Altrock. Roy
Patterson, Frank Owens and Frank
Smith, an aggregation of twirling
talent seldom equaled. So clever were
the members Of this seXtet that they
were able to limit opposing teams to
minimum of runs, and it was only
necessary for the batters of the White
SoX to collect three or four TALES to
win most contests
But even if the club was shy on
heavy hitters such men as Jiggs

depended upon to come through with
enough good plays to score at the right
moments.
In every other instance where team
has won a championship IN the majors
the batters as whole have been un
usually strong and did not have to de
pend on the pitchers to keep them in
the running more than half of the
time, Nevertheless Il number of clubs
