ARNOLD 9, CANDID
(chicaso white sox.)

To paraphrase Raymond Hitch.
cocks old song. ':Ain't 1t funny what
a difference just a few years
On Sept. 2, 1910. Chick" Gandil
} bid the White Sox club q q fare
well. He had been tried. found want-
ing in a baseball sense and was gwen
the order of the tin can. After. trying
him out in n; games. he had hit only
.1ss and the MANAGEMENT. scrtbes and
populace of the Windy City agreed
that he wouldn't do.
And now, z years later, to the
month, these same Chicago ballyard
fanatics are hailing Gandil as the
guy who made the infield. which
made the club. which copied the old
pennant.
Excuse Chick for grtnning. fans.
He just can't help it It took seven
years for the point Of the joke to arr
rive and Gandil just has to smile and
everything.
Gandil. who has had a varied base
ball experiences. is . rafting good
natural ball player and never should
have allowed himself to get out Of the
major league after his first trial. He
has been q trihe hard to manage and
his shifting from N club to another
was probably his own fault. But 1t
looks as II Chick is in the league to
stay for a while now as he is putting
everything he has into his play and
showing how good a first sacker he
car be.
His diamond start began away down
south in Amarillo. Tex, where he
played semi-pro ball. in 1906. Shreve-
port of the Texas league paid him his
first real money for playing in 1908.
There he had a batting average Of
.269 in 116 games. The st. Louis
Browns then acquired him but turned
him back to Shreveport. Chick kick
ed owe the traces and refused to re-
port and was then ent to Sacramento.
Here, in 206 games he played a nice
fielding game at first base and hit
.2s2.
After the White sox' released him
to Montreal. Gandil began showing
his class. He hit over 800 in 1911
and 1912 and Clark Griffith bought
him for Washington in mid-season.
After two great with the SEN
ators, for whom he hit .305 and 1908
in 1912 and 1918. he slumped and
Griffith released him to Cleveland,
who later sold him to Chicago.
Gandil is a natural athlete. He is
6 feet l 1-2 inches tall. weighs 100
lbs. and is a long hitter. He has hit
around .275 this season and played a
nervy. heady game at. first
rounding out the Sox infield nicely.
Chick was born in st. Paul. Minn.,
Jan. 10, 1889.
Y matched first basemen. They have
each frequently hits for extra bases.
