they couldn't get a run OH AleXan-
der if they batted for a couple of
weeks.
Moran's PhiIs will make a good
showing through the year. All claims
that they will fade under a whitening
sun fail to ring true: Pat may win
no pennant, and probably won't, but
he has his team playing baseball. His
infield is good and comparatively
youthful.
The Braves have shown before
what they can do and the team has
been mechanically strengthened over
last season by the addition of Sher-
wood Magee. Put John Evers back
there to help Meanwhile in furnish
ing pep and the club will begin to
mount.
At last President comiskey of the
White SoX seems to have gotten
something for the piles of coin he has
been expanding in an effort to secure
star from the minors who would
live up to his reputation.
Harry FeIsch is playing bang-up
game of baseball as center fielder
and lead-off man for the Sox. He
was highly touted in the American
Association and it was on these
stories that he was purchased.
But there were many opinions to
the effect that FeIsch wouldn't make
good when his purchase was an
nounced. The remembrance of Larry
Chappell was still fresh in mind, and
similar experiences with several 9TH
er athletes who had cost the South
Side owner a wad of coin had not
been forgotten. t. -
But FeIsch is doing everything ex-
pected of him. His fielding has been
excellent. 1t is in batting, however,
that he has been most appreciated.
For part of the early season he was
kept on the bench in favor of Tommy
Quinlan. When the latter failed ut

like most lead-of men, he is not
noted for his waiting proclivities, but
he is fast on the paths, once he gets
there.
He started two innings with hits
yesterday and scored both times. He
doubled the first time up.
Critics through the east have
stamped the Sox the best-looking ball
club that has represented Chicago in
the American league for many sea-
sons. Heretofore the South Siders
have been woefully weak on their
trips, no matter what ability they
showed at home. So far they have
not been worried by the fact that the
stockyards bunch wasn't behind
them with encouraging yells.
They have played six games, four
in Boston and two in New York, and
four of the battles have resulted in
victories. The final game in New
York is on this afternoon. That
makes it certain that they will have
done with the strongest two clubs in
the east with the margin on the right
side.
And 1t IS worthy OF special mention
that the Rowland people have been
shut out only once in more than
month. Which is dangerously near
record for Sox ball teams.

vides just a bit more money among
his happy workers. The life and
works Of that man are like romance
lit abounds in the great American
spirit Of delivering the goods.
The trend of the Ford jokes show
how quick the wit of the United
States begins its unlimited jabs.
Ridicule in both vulgar and style
has been and will be heaped its
way millions Of times. Praise too,
has gone its way, but not so much
as ridicule and derision.
Never has a series Of jokes struck
|. a more responsive chord, for you
can hear them pulled from Kala-
mazoO to Vinegar Bend One thing
certain, the Ford owners pull less
jokes than the others, because they
BELIEVE in their car and know
its value to get there on time. No
other piece of machinery has given
more satisfaction than the Ford
cars.
Some Of the jokes are so dirty
they smell worse than the exhaust
and others are so funny you bus
