The other is that the White Sox are
winning in spite Of Rowland. Were
the actual facts made bare it would
probably be found that Rowland il

team on top as any other manager
could DO.
Give Him Credit.
The real analysis seems to show
that the SoX are in their stride are
winning, and that Rowland is doing
as we'll in directing them as could
be reasonably expected II the
White SoX grab the pennant he will
deserve a proper amount Of credit.

it is the surest bet one can make
that he will not deserve the unmer-
