White SOX
Of 1906 Scattered
Ed Walsh is Lone Survivor
of Team That Beat Cubs
for Worlds Title
SOME IN THE
MINOR LEAGUES

j mis- festive old mundane sphere |
certainly has been revolving on its
axis, gaily hurting us all along to-
ward the grave or the crematory,
whichever you prefer and stipulate
in your will.
No question about it. The old earth
en- ball has been revolving steadily,
4 Keeling off $4,000 miles every so often,
consuming twenty-four hours per rev.
olutiOn and never missing a lick.
i For absolute and convincing proof
of this, compare the personnel of the
\ gay and festive collection of Chicago
athletes now dispOrting themselves in
our midst with the Chicago White Sox
of 1906, winners of the world cham
pionship.
OF that heroic group which won the
big title in 1906, Ed Walsh alone sur
wives. His mates of that year are
} scattered afar-some dead, some re-
tired and a sprinkling of them still
in the minors. Walsh finds himself
fianked on every side by a new gener-
alton of ball players.
Billy Sullivan, one of the last ties
that linked Walsh with old assOcia-
tions, recently dropped from the Sox
! machine a worn bolt. rusty and use
n less. Billy, in point of service on the
4 club, outranked every member of the
old Sox squad. He enlisted under the
q, Comiskey colOrs in 1901
n owen, Altrock, Patterson, Smith
and White. Add to these the name of
Walsh and you have the pitching staff
which won the title of the world in
1906. In their places today we find
Scott, Russell, Cicotte. Benz, Faber,
Wolfgang. Klepfer, Jasper, Johnson,
Lathrop and even party of the home
ly name of Scroggins.
In the 1906 series Jiggs Donohue
played the greatest first base ever
: played by a human being. Fighting
for the same position today are Bunny
p Brief and Pea Soup Fourier.
Frank Isbell and Gus Dundon divid-
7 ed the responsibilities of second base
; between them in 1906. Eddie Collins,
