1.-THE biggest possible boost for
professional baseball in FL Paso
Il was given Thursday afternoon,
at Washington park, when this city
was unable TO field team which could
give the Chicago White SoX even
good batting practice I'm mighty
clad you're going TO have professional
bah here" declared Clarence Row
land, manager of the SOX, after the
exhibition had progressed three or four
innings. FOR we want TO have Oppo-
sitiOn in these games and no matter
how hard these amateurs try they
really can't stand up against profess
SIGNALS for the simple reason that they
have not been trained properly.
Next year, when we come out here,
we hope to find a good professional
team Wen probably beat it, but at
least they can give US battle
Thursdays exhibition was a mighty
poor one The SoX did their share,
hut the locals were half scared to death
at finding themselves on the same dia-
mond as Lena Blackburn. the first
S10.0 900 beauty Of baseball; Eddie Col
Inns. the $4,000 constellation. and 9TH
ers who have made marks in the ma
tiOnaI game.
Home Team Actually scored.
Three singles, a wild pitch and an
error let the home team tally a run
I'm the first inning They were so
staggered by the fact that they had
they were busy trying to figure out
how il happened. Faber began show
ing some speed in the second and the
locals had no desire TO hug the plate.
Kinville's double in the fourth was the
only break in the one-twO-three mo-
Hotony until the seventh
In the eighth, Milan and Pearson
raped out singles, but Eddie Collins
gave an exhibition Of the why OF that
$4,000 by starting a snappy double
play Only one more out was needed
in the inning, but just 70 show they
could do it, the SOx added another
double play.
BurIesOn Was Removed.
BurlesOn started 10 pitch for the 10
Gals. but had such a bad arm that he
couldn't even wind up. The SoE got
10 him so hard that six had faced him
with only two out when Clarence Row
land went to manager POmar and wanted
10 know if he could loan him a pitcher.
This sort Of thing viii only hurt
baseball" Pomar waved him away
with the remark that he had some
pitchers of his own He then sent
Short Weiss TO the mound. Weiss was
some improvement and retired the SOx
with four runs.
The support given Weiss was ragged
and the SON added two runs in the sec
ond on BIackburn's triple. Neary's err
ror and Felsch's double Weiss issued
two passes, made q wild pitch and al
lowed Two hits In the third. With a
brace Of bad errors, this gave the Sox
five runs
Lewis Was an Improvement.
POmar then decided to send Jack.
Lewis to the mound. Jack had steam
to spare but was weak on control
He pulled himself out Of some holes
however and had only one bad inning.
His work greatly improved when DAILY

locals as well as the SoX- Lewis start
