short order or he may get a bit of
work in the minor leagues. Last
season Claude was a sad disappOint-
ment and had none of the requisites
of a big league pitcher. He was wild
at all times, and nothing he threw
disconnected the aliens.
Either Vaughn or Douglass will be
given the honor of hurting the open
ing game against Pittsburgh unless
unforeseen obstacles crop out. They
are the best conditioned men of the
staff and are working seriously.
Douglass has at last come to a real
izatiOn of the seriousness of baseball
as a means Of earning a living, and
if he can be kept in that frame of
mind throughout the season he will
be a good pitcher through the cam
paign.
Wolfe remains at short through
the injury to Workman. Chuck has
a sore heel and the recruit is making
hay. His work is excellent in mechan-
ical results, but he lacks experience
to combat the wiles of the big
leaguers.
Poor baserunning is still con-
founding the White SOX. That and
weak hitting lost a game to Dallas.
Danforth and Scott pitched for Row
land. Risberg, Ed Collins and FeIsch
poled two hits each. Three or four
more markers might have been rung
up if the big leaguers had used better
judgment on the baselines.

CUBS AND SOX PLAY TO GOOD
CROWDS IN TRAINING
BY Mark Shields

by MARX Snl6iQS
If the attendance at exhibition
games is any criterion, this is to be
a good year for baseball Despite
the talk of war and the threat of a
railroad strike, large crowds are
turning out to witness the efforts of
the White Sox and Cubs in their re-
spective endeavors against Texas
league and Pacific Coast league ag-
gregatiOns.
Yesterday in Dallas the Sox, de-
feated 8 to 1, played to 1000 fans.
In Oakland the Cubs lost 9 to Z be-
fore a crowd of 1000, and in the aft
ernOon they whipped San Francisco,
Z to 2, for the edifcatiOn of 5000
fans.
Such crowds for exhibition games
are unusual They not only point to
enthusiasm during the coming sea-
son, but will help materially in pay
ing the board bills and transportation
tariffs of our ball clubs Nine thou
sand people are more than the Cubs
saw in a couple Of seasons of spring
training in Florida and vicinity.
The outstanding feature of the
double bill Of the Cubs was the work
of the pitchers and the consistent
hitting of Harry Wolter, the only fell
low who could connect with timely
effect. In the morning game Prem
dergast, Dawson and Hendrix were
soft for the enemy. In the shutdown
contest jim Vaughn and Phil Doug
lass were tight parties in every in
ming.
Prendergast and Hendrix have
been in difficulty ever since they
started training. Neither has been
able to puzzle the enemy, and both
have suffered from wild streaks. This
is somewhat of a surprise in the case
of Prendergast, who was an able
pitcher last year, despite the small
amount of attention he received
from MANAGEMENT and fans,
