Idol.
TOO SLOW FOR COMING

Cause of Dismissal Of Ping

[By James O'Dea, written for the
United Press.1
CHICAGO, Jan. 27.-If south side
fans decide the way they felt today
they would all be wearing sack cloth
and ashes. Charles Comiskey's an
nouncement that the adored Ping
Bodie has been SOLD outright to San
Francisco was the cause of the thick
banks Of gloom in every south stder's
heart
Not that Mr.. Bodie ever broke any
records for quick witted plays; In
fact there have been times when Ping
heayed the ball to the wrong corner
OF the lot after mailing hard one In
the field. 1t was more his fence-bust-
ing proclivit:es at unexpected and to
the opposing team, ruinous moments,
that endeared Bodie to the White Sox
fans, and made him as popular an idol
as Chicago has had In a decade.
Bodie came to the Sox from San
Farncisco in 1911. He furnished the
reporters at the Sox training camp
that year with more copy" than the
average rookie. His fielding, it was
admitted at Sox headquarters today,
was o. K, and his batting was better
than just fair. It was lack of speed
on the bases and his occasional
flashes of ivory in conception and exc
cution of plays that caused Comiskey
to let him go.
Reports were current in Federal
circles today that an effort would be
made by Joe Tinker of the Chifeds to
get him for Weeghman's crew.
