Mineral Wells, Tex, March 2o-(spe- iaI)-Last year the Chicago White Sex had the best team in the American league at the start of the sason.
 The team referred to was on paper, of course, and didn't develop.
 Taking the Chicago club this year, man for man, and it is again perhaps the best club in tn eleague-on paper.
 The pitchers are strong and plentiful.
 The catching department, headed by Schalk, is the best in tn eleague.
 The infield does not show a weak spot, and the outfeld. though perhaps not so strong extensively as Detroit, or defen- sively as Boston, is above the ordinary.
 At this time it Is almost impossible to say what may happen in the American league. There are at least six strong ball clubs. But it is possible to say this: the team that wins the pennant will have to heat the White Sox.
 Starting with the pitchers, there are Scott Benz, Russell. Faber, Cicotte, Wolfgang, Williams and Danforth of the veterans. Russell and Cicotte were among the best winners in the league last year and both Dapforth and Wolfgang showed some great streakS of form. Jim Scott Is getting rather old, but has taken care of himself. Benz may be one of the best or worst pitchers in the league. Only time will tell
 Manager Rowland is expecting another great season from Williams, who won 19 of 21 games last year.
 The young pitchers are Lamers, who won r straight for Little Chute, Wis, last year; Norman. semi-pro; Schallen- bach, a college pitcher from the coast, recommended last year by Hal Chase, and Ainsworth. a semi-pro.
 Schalk, Lynn and Mayer will form the first group of catchers It is unnecessary to say anything about Schalk. Lynn had good season with the Sox last year and Mayer is a consistent backstop. The youngsters are Walker, a semi-pro from Henry, H.; Gray, who had good season with Wichita, and Jenkins. With the purchase of Chick Gandl

Washington Senators to Meet Barons Friday

IF g league where salaries are assured. But for a chunk of the raw material, Knight has more promise than any rocky ever showing on the local field. Ken nedy is a stocky little fellow. with a beautiful peg, bit of speed on the pathes and a nice posture at the plate.
 Manager Starr is counting on Dee Walsh to cover third. This will put Weser, Kirby and Manning in the out field This will be a good one, but it would be surprising if President Allen does not trot out a stronger one before the opening day arrives.
 WALLACE MAY JOIN TEAM
 Robbie Wallace has been heard from, and it is possible that the veteran will yet don a Traveller uniform and play the game of his young life for Little Rock. Wallace is up in Pennsylvania, where he went sometime ago upon the death of his mother. He was communicated with by President Allen, and his answer was q most reasonable one. President Allen wrote again, and rather expects a per- sonal answer from the former king of shortstops. Wallace should come back great under the Southern sun. With Wares at second, a man with whom he has played before, the keystone in Lit tie Rock would be the fastest in the league, and double plays would be conf mon with this pair. It may be a whole infield of ex-Browns
 Governor c. H. Trough has signed a regular contract to pitch the first ball in the little worlds series in Little Rock March 29, between the Red Sox and Brooklyn. Former President w. H. Taft will be present, and may consent to make the receiving end of the battery. The championship teams are promised for this game, and it is probable that the park will have the largest crowd in it's history. The teams go from Little Rock to Oklahoma City, thence to Kansas City.
 By the time another week rolls around, let us hope that President Allen let's drop the big things that we have so long ex- pected. If they come, Kirby can hang out as long as he wants to, Tincup and Weser can go galley west, or sou by east, or any old way they want to, and the Travellers will still go marching along toward the pennant.
 President Allen is going to have some team He will be a bit handicapped in the handling of his youngsters, for although the rules of the league will not force him to cut down until 30 days after the sea- son opens, the schedule will. The Travel CTS will be on the road most of the first 30 days, and this will prevent the carry ing of the men for trial If the team was to be at home most of the time, three or four youngsters could be kept about in order to see if they took to polish. As it is, President Allen figures on carrying IS men for the first big swing about the circuit

Rowland is convinced he has given his ball team what it needed badly last year, a good first baseman to fit in with his in- field.
 Jourdan from St. Joseph. Henry and Hasbrook, the former from Petersburg Virginia league), and the latter from Muscaune Central association) are being tried Fournier, of course, can play the base, but is likely to be kept in the out field.
 Collins will be at second, of course.
 At short. Risberg, sensation with the Frisco club last year, seems to have the call Terry, good ballplayeT, will be kept regardless of what Risberg shows and it is likely Bruce Hartford, bought from Des Moines, will be sent out for more seasoning.
 Weaver and McMillan will be used at third
 Joe Jackson and Hap Felsch already have mortgages on two outfleld positions and the other must be the property of Memo Leibold, Fournier, Joe Collins or Eddie Murphy, all pretty good ball play CTS.
 Fournier must play lot better for Co., mislzey than he did last year If he ex- poets to stick and 1t now looks as though Leibold. Collins and Murphy may all be retained on the club There's the White Sox.

MOLLY PREPARING !. TEAM FOR CONTEST
 WITH WASHINGTON
Baron Boss Will Send Two Best Moundsmen Against Senators-Walter John
 son Will Pitch

Despite the fact that yesterday was a very unfavorable day for spring training, Carlton Molesworth sent his charges through full days work. The workout in the morning was not disturbed, but the aIternoon's prac- tice was "cut short" on account of heavy showers.
 Moley is working hls men hard at the persent to have them in good con- dition for the scrap with the Wash ineton Senators Friday afternoon at Redwood. The entire squad is in fine condition and Moley intends to keep them so.
 He is devoting more time to his hurlers now than anything else. He will use either three or four pitchers against the Senators. It is thought, however, more than probable two will be used. Hill and Black will prob ably get the call. Two catchers will also be used
 Word was received from the train ing camp of the Senators yesterday that Clark Griffith has put his war rlOfS Tn pefIeCL tIlHl' 1Aoy VIII Aee'NiA Birmingham Thursday night.
 The lineup will be as follows;
 Leonard, third base.
 Foster, second base.
 Milan, center field.
 Smith, left field.
 Rice, right field.
 McBride, shortstop.
 Ainsmith, catcher.
 Dumont, pitcher.
 Johnson, pitcher
 Croft, pitcher.
 Harry Swacina or Scotty Chestnut will umpire the game. Moley stated yesterday that the battle would be started promptly at o'clock. The Washington outfit will leave Birming- ham Friday night following the game. The contest will open the exhibition baseball season in Birmingham. Games will follow fast in succession and Birmingham fans will have a good opportunity to see how the Barons look under fire before the real Southern league season starts.

PreIy Allen Intends 10 HdDe Some Ball Club for His Fans
Ined Is Composed Entirely of Pitching Staff Exceedingly Strong-Plenty of Raw Material Hand.
 Much Is Expected of Tincup

Little Rock, March 20-Little Rock has holdout, an honest-to-goodness hold out. Mahlon Myers has turned back his contract and will not sign unless the figure is boosted How Mahlon figures this is not shown by diagram attach ment to the returned contract, for there IS no diagram. Mahlon came south last year at the solicitation of Bill Prowell and was shipped still further south by Proxy Allen. He did fair work, and a contract was sent him last month. AL though he was not wanted for the ~~Tav- elers, and was expected to return to the league from whence he came Myers fig ured he was worth more money. Pres ident Allen cannot see it, and there will be no inconveniences in Little Rock if he falls to sign at any figure.
 Other Travellers imagine themselves holdouts, but they will not be. President Allen has been threatened before, and it Is true that he has lost some players, but organized baseball lost them at the same time. When President Allen says he has gone the limit, he has. He is gen. erous in dealing with his men, but he y. Larue Kirby all the clubs treasury will stand. He has offered Weiser and Tin cup as much as they were getting last season, and that is the end of negotia- tions, so far as the local club Is con- cerned
 Weiser and Tincup are Travellers out right. They were traded for Ernie Wal ker. President Allen picked the players he wanted from the Phillies and holds quit claim, as well as warranty deed to them If they play baseball, using their real names they will play this sea son in Little Rock. It is up to these players to come across. That President Allen is figuring on them is demon strated by the fact that he counts his outfeld made up with Weiser as the last man.
 PITCHERS HAVE WEEKS WORK
 All the pitchers, with the exception of Tincup, put in a part of the week at least, and all the players except the hold outs are now in camp. Most of the men appear already to be in shape, and they must hustle to get the kinks out, for there is work cut out for them before the exhibition games begin. These are more than the usual exhibition games, too for they are to be mostly with Amer fcan association teams, and as the A and the Southern are so near of the same class, it should be good baseball.
 Two, if not more, of the rockies are showing well, and it will be surprise if Knight is not one of the regulars carried through the season. Kennedy, the catch CT from the Browns, will also be re- tained, his showing being almost as good as that of Chapman, who will again be the first string catcher. Trout has plenty n Snnpd some curves, and a bit of control, he may also crowd an old timer off the list. He has more speed than Fincher, and if he can be carried for month or two there is no question but what Starr and Chapman can put the finishing touches on him, Neither Knight nor Trout have played professional ball before-that is,

He spends the winters in Zanesville, O., where he was born and reared. He started his baseball career there, play ing on an amateur team. Later he joined mi-professional club. He works in the steel mill in Zanesville during the winter and consequently needs practically no training to put him in condition for the seasons work lie is not married.
 With a weight of only about 125 pounds and only feet 4 inches tall he has the reputation of being the, smallest man in the league. Only one man in the league can contest his rghts-Kid Elberfeld ot Chattanooga.
 Caton has the prospects of being one oi the best shortstops ever turned out of the Southern league. Another year undel Moley and the Kid will be ready to oust some yet of his job in the big show.

Carlton Molesworth's Barons are che proud possessors of the Little Man" in the Southern league. James Howard Ca- ton, the diminutive short fielder of the Barons last season, is back on the job again this year and with moro pomp and ability than ever.
 The said James Howard Caton is known in Southern league baseball annals as Kid" Caton. And truly, he is a kid. Young MT. Caton Is not eligible to cast a vote as an American citizen yet. Not because he hasn't been naturalized. but because he hasn't reached his twenty-first milestone.
 The kid will be 21 in May and then, he states, he will consider himself a man."
 Caton was a valuable assest to the Barons last year and will be even more this season. He came to the Barons a real rookie. He beat three men out of a job and is now so good no competition for him is secured.
 Caton was tried in the outfield last year as a starter because Bill Lindsay was playing the short field. Bill didn't have the speed to play the position, and Moley brought the youngster to the in- field.
 He began to play fine ball from, then on He grew to be favorite, among the fans and on top of all that he delivered the goods.
 Caton began his professional baseball career in 1915. He joined the Portsmouth (O.) club in the Ohio State league He played swell ball there and was drafted by Moley at the end of the season. He batted .316 and led the shortstops of the league in fielding by wide margin Chester Spencer formerly of the New York Yankees. was his manager. Last season Caton batted but about 225 and fielded about third among his competitors. This year, however, 1t is predicted that he will be the sensation of the league.
 He Is a big favorite in all of tho towns of the circuit, but particularly so in Little Rock. Members of the dark race "falr' for his work more than anyone else.
