Rowland Makes Good
The white SoH leader has demon
strsted that a minor league manager al
we'll as minor league players can MAKE
good In the big show. Before taklnI
charge OF tho Chicago ou;Nt Rowland
was manager OF the Peoria Three Ey'
league team. As minor league pllo
he was particularly successful In devei
oping young players, several Of whom
have since become big league stan.
Up to the timf he signed his contrac
with Comiskey, Rowland WAS totally with
out experience In big league pastiming
The average fan In n major league hai
probably attended more major League
Esmss than Rowland has seen In HI
whole life.
Comlskey picked Rowland to lead IN
Sox and felt sure he had made tho rieh
choice Tho results show what mos
people already know-that It's hard Il

taining to baseball.
