taken care of for many seasons, as
Williams has several years of useful
ness yet before him.
Here's prediction. Larry Cheney
or one Of the recruits, Adams and
Standridge, will pitch the first local
game of the National league sched-
ule. Cheney, as usual, is showing a
lot of early season effectiveness, and
Bresnahan is grooming him to start
off with rush and put the team up
in the first fight, just as Larry did
two years ago. And the two rockies
are showing just about as much stuff
as the veteran.
- Their effectiveness, remember, is
being developed against big league
teams like the Mackmen and PhiIlies,

and strong minors, such as Louisville.
They are not displaying their wares
before Class G organizations. It is
probably that Vaughn and Hum
phries will Ibe held back, and label
will go in early. Vaughn, OF course, I
will do some early duty, but he need
not be hurried, as Bresnahan seems :
to have better luck than usual in his
young men.
Louisville was trimmed, q to 2,
mainly through the good pitching Of
Cheney and Adams and the hard bat
ting of Williams and Hargraves. Cy
swatted a triple and double and, Har-j
graves got a triple. All Cub runs ,
were scored in one inning.
Coast league critics, we under
stand, are boosting the work of Tom :
my QuinIan, the new Iead-off man ]
of the White SOx. But it is hard to
see where a place is to be found for
the young outfielder. If he is regU-
larIy employed it means a vacation .
for FeIch, Collins or Fourier, and
it doesn't seem possible to keep one
of that trio out of the daily fray. :
Collins is a veteran gardener. He
can bat, field and run bases. Felch
is a fne-looking yOungster, and on
the coast has been batting Justify. |.
Fourier is a 300 hitter who has .
made his mark, and if a White SOx
team can afford to keep a natural 300
hitter on the bench, then all the dope
sheets can be tossed away. Jack is
the first regular in quite some time
who has batted over 300 for a sea- -
son while wearing a SOX uniform. Il
And we venture the remark that
the Ieadoff position isn't giving Row
land much worry. He has Buck
Weaver for the job, and Buck proved
last year that he can do the work in {,
ship-shape manner. Quinlan may be
retained, but we'd hate to see him

on base. and know that Jack Four
