 Clarence Rowland Is inviting de- struction. He is putting the White Sox through a course in leap-frog to dangerous with so many good men that the Feds might induce to hop if they have proper training for it.
 Connie Mack insists that he is not counting on Baker. He says he has done all in his power to induce Ba- ker to stay in the game. Connie says the fans will forget all about Baker when they see Sammy McCon- nell, @ recruit, at third base.
