JACK NESS PLAYING
BASEBALL At HOME
One Of Few Performers Who
Makes Good on Diamond in
Native City.

Jack Ness, the sensational slugger of
the Chicago White Sox. who established
a record of hitting safely In forty-nine
consecutive games, Is one Of the few
young men who are playing in their
native cities.
Jack was born In the Windy City.
but went to Oakland to win his reputa-

him adrift In 1911. He IL up to stay now.
1t would seem. for he 10 clouting up In
the charmed 300 circle and comportins
himself as a big Lacquer should.
Ness. one Of last years crop OF talent

birth. and an oaklander by adoption.
He was given a chance with the Boston
Americans In 1911. but his hitting wal

son OF 1918 saw him swatting at a .26'
clip. and he came back in 1914 at -;
! rate.
1t was last season that Ness really
forced himself to the front. For a few
days after he started to get his daily
hits no one paid any particular atten-
tion to John. the swat gatherer. Sud
denly. as out Of clear sky, some one
noted that Ness had hit SO many days
, in row. After that the procession OF
bingles was noted with wide spreading
, interest. First the Coasters and then
the whole country insisted upon beine
advised every day what Ness had done
The Oaklander was asked to explain

made answer: Il Just 20 up. TO tn!

/ At all events. when he had finished
Ness had hung up performance Of
forty-nine games In a row. from Ma,
to July, during which time he had beer
registered 81 hits, Of which II were two
baggers, 3 triples. and home runs.
and he was drafted BY the chicag'
Americans. Not averse to remainini
on the Pacific coast. he was more o.
less perturbed when the end Of tn,
training and the first few weeks of rea
baseball came to be followed with tn
announcement that Jack was to be sen

Although Doyle has not been hit
