BOXING SPORTS OF ALL SORTS BASEBALL

While Zeb Terry is making a name
for himself with the White SoX, Ed
Collins, Fourier and Felsch continue
to do the things that gained them
fame last year. In a game with Fl.
Worth, which the Sox won, to 4,
Eddie scored from second on a sacri-
flee fly, Fourier UncOrked a triple
and single, and Felsch belted two
singles and a triple.
Buck Weaver was on the bench
and Terry went to short, with Nc
Mullen on third. This was done to
give Zeb some work between second
and third, and he lived up to eXpec-
tations. He killed off three hits and
smashed out a pair of singles. If the
yOungster can continue the pace he
has set so far he will probably land q.
a regular berth, with Weaver accept
ing a shift to third base.
Rowland used three rookie pitch
ers, Clark, Williams and StellaTs, and
they did well Pitching strength is
not what Rowland is looking for,
however, and more time can be di-
rected to the infield candidates. SteI-
lars, who is a Chicago semi-pro, did
fine work and will get some more
trials.
The Sox boss is continuing his eff
forts to make Jack Fourier first
baseman and uses the Frenchman
with bis first team, where he gets the
benefit of Eddie Collins instruction.
If Jack can come anywhere near
fielding up to the desired standard
it will make the team a pennant con-
tender, as it is reasonable to believe
that third base will be stronger this
year than last.
Weakness at third and first during
the last campaign was the primary
cause of the SoX being beaten out Of

AS a matter of fact, the Cubs are
liable to play some punk mechanical
ball during the first stages of the
campaign, but will improve as time
goes on, and should get into their
stride in plenty of time to be well up
in the race. This is especially true of
the middle of the infieId, the pitchers
and the catchers. The outfelders are
young enough, with the exception of
