ToDAY's LINEUP.


"Dutch" Fautsch, who Is said
to be an infielder of no mean abil-
ity, was turned over to Richmond
yesterday afternoon by the Chi
cago White Sox. The president of
the American League club got IN
touch with Manager Billy Smith
yesterday morning and rendered
him the services Of the player for
the season, and the local leader
wired Comiskey to let him come
at once. Fautsch left the Chicago
camp last night, and IL expected
to arrive In Richmond some time
today. However. he will hardly
get into the game until Saturday
afternoon.
F'autsch IL said to he a nifty
fielder and n good hitter. He has
played second base and short
stop. and IL at home In either #
the positions. He will doubtless
supplant Marty Nyc at the key
stone station IL he shows any
form. Marty Is p good fielder and
heady baseball player. but SO
far he has failed to come mp to
expectations MS far ms welding
his bIudgeon is concerned. Fautsch
readily gave his consent to come
to Richmond, and was well salts
fed with the contract offered him
by Manager Billy Smith.
