that Chip took the lead. In the tenth,

Clabby rallied and outfought the

CIabby, of course, had the better

Ciabby is matched for next Tues

As long as Bobby Roth continues
to hit the ball at anything approach
ing his present pace, he is certain to
remain on the third-base job for the
White Sox His hitting in the pinch
es recently has been remarkable and
frequently he has headed rallies.
Roth is not yet a finished fielder.
He lacks polish and goes after balls
awkwardly frequently. But he gets
them just the same and his errors
have been very few. He is learning
to come in fast on slow hit balls and
throw to first base from a STOPPING
position. The best evidence of his
worth is the fact that opposing teams
do not attempt to take advantage of
his inexperience to try bunting down
the base line.
Roth should make good third
baseman. He has nerve, is fast and
possesses a good arm, capable of
throwing underhand as well as over

Collins, of course, will bat over 300,
