lineup yesterday caused the fans to
DO whole lot of talking after the
game. the question uppermost in
teverybodys'min being, will these men
make good. Will Judge replace Can
dill as a regular next year. and will
there be found place for Jameson in
the outfield?
! sacker, he was there with two nice
h1ts at the right time. while Jameson
also contributed a safe wallop and
handled three chances in the outfield
cleanly.
In statue Judge is shorter than Can
dill by several inches. He throws and
bats left handed and is fast.
Jameson is also a clean cut young
man with a powerful arm and like his

sturdier built.
On the showing Of Judge yesterday
he does not appear to be in Gandirs
class as a fielder, nor does he look
as impressive with the stick, but you
cannot tell what a player is worth by
seeing him perform in one game.
is much too early to consign
Judge to the jury box or the minors
the same goes for Jameson. Both
players yesterday looked good but

Walter Johnson is slated to pitch
the opening game of the Chicago White

Clyde Milan will play centerfield ac-
cording to Manager Griffith; otherwise
the lineup will be the same as the |

Judge and Jameson have strengthen |

all along that he would place his
strongest combination in the field |

games behind the Grifrmen for third
place.
Sam Mayer, the youngster purchased
by Griffith from the Kansas City club of
the American Association has been turn
ed back to that club, according to q |
statement made public by the Old Fox
last night.
No reason is vouchsafed for this ac-
ton. which comes as a surprise, as
Mayer was figured by many to have a |
good chance Of landing a job with the |
Nationals in 1916.

Sawyer, on the frst-base coaching lines
yesterday, cut loose with lot of comedy
stuff in the third inning; limitations of |

The crowd enjoyed Sawyer's antics, but !
the umpires caused the young man to
subside and sober down a bit.
Catcher Charity. from the Minneapo-
lis club, is expected to arrive here this
afternoon and will be seen in action be-
fore many days have elapsed.
Billy Hanna. of the New York Sun,
1T may be on account of the
general disappointment in the ranks of |
the White SoX in not realizing cham
