Starting a weeks play in Houston,
Tex, today, the White SOX first team
is in excellent trim and should come
forward with giant strides in the next
seven days. The men will have the
double advantage of a good diamond
and steady work in one place, with
out the pesky train trips that cut in
on condition.
This toll in one place means Joe
Jackson will have an opportunity to
favor his slightly injured leg and the
other fellows will have a good chance
to perfect their team play.
There is a possibility of one strange
face appearing among the pitchers
when the team reaches Chicago. The
newcomer is SchelIenbach, a semi
pro from the coast, and so far he
has been the best of the prospects.

patched aggregation that has few
earmarks of major league Caliber.
The hospital list is a swollen affair,
among the injured men being Mann,
WOrtman, Yerkes, ZeideT, Flack and
DiIIhOefer. The hippOdrOme sched-
ule allows no time for stopping by
the wayside to bind up these wounds
and slowly bring the men around by
an easy course of training.
And the hitting of the fellows in
the game is of minor Importance. Six
hits were registered against San
Francisco yesterday, two Of them
coming from pitchers. That is no
ambitious record. There is further
cause for alarm in the probable in
Icrease to the injured squad, as exhi-
fbition games and quick jumps are
more wearing than mortal struggles
in the regular season.

can under the circumstances, but he
receives a jolt every now and then.
He took one yesterday when Fred
bIoIlwitz was released to Kansas City

pulled off from this end, and the pilot
knew nothing of it until he received
