FINDS LEAD-0FF MAN.
Manager Rowland Gives Honor to
Quinland From Oakland Club.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, March 90
Manager Rowland of the White Sox be-
lieves he has solved a problem which
has been bothering him considerably
since the start of the training trip.
From the first day that the players
donned the spangles Rowland has been
keeping his eye peeled for a man to
place at the top of the batting list as
lead-of man. His inspection Of the
candidates has simmered down to one
man. and that is Tom Quinlan, late OF
Oakland of the Pacific Coast League.
Rowlands selection of Quinlan has
forced him to give up the idea which he
long has had of converting Larry Chap
pell, the player who cost the Sox $1S,-
600, into topnotch batsman.
The picking of Quinlan for lead-off
man also means that Buck Weaver,
who performed in that position prac-
tfcally all of the time last year. will
the batting order this season. In the
games played on this trip Buck has
been batting fifth. and it is thought
that the new manager has taken a lot
him.
Weaver is of nervous temperament,
and he finds it hard to wait 'em out.
His record for the season of 1914 gives
evidence of this fact. for he accepted
only twenty bases on balls In 1876 COM
bats, or 561 times at bat. This. it
seems, would not qualify him for the
position of regular lead-off man.
One good feature of Weaver's batting
during last season was his timely hit
ting. and his average credits him with
1873 safe clouts. But Bucks teammates
believe he would have been of greater
value to the team had he been patient
and waited for more bases on balls.
Another reason for his reduction in
the ranks is that the batting order
will be more evenly arranged.
