charmed circle of consistent 800 hit
tiers this season. and his dangerous
bat has ben responsible for many Of
the victories chalked up by Clarencs
Rowland's team in their race for the
pennant.
Remembering such famous hivvers
as Lena Blackburne and Larry Chap
pelle. White Sox fans were not I'M
clined TO give Felsch the benefit Of
the doubt when he first joined Com
iskey's team. But, though he failed
TO reach the $50 mark in batting in
his first year with the Sox. he came
back in 1915 with a final batting
average OF .50f, and he is hitting bet
ter than that now.
Felsch has established himself as
natural hitter without spending the
usual number of years in the minor
leagues, and when he graduted from
the Milwaukee City league to the Fon
du Lac club of the Wisconsin Illinois
league, in 1918. he was destined to
remain there less than one SEASON.
Before the 1913 season closed at Fon
du LAC Felsch was sold to Milwaukee,.
whore he finished the season. He had
been hitting bitter than 400 with Fon
du Lac, but in twenty-six games with
the Brewers he hit only 1873. The
following year, however the Young
slugger came into his own with the
bat, hitting .304 in ISL games with
the Milwaukee club. and in August
1914, he was sold to the White sox
for 1000.
Comiskey has never regretted the
deal which brought Felsch To his
team, for the sturdy-l imbed youth has
won home with Chicago fans. and
he ranks today as one of the best
all-around outfielders in the big show.
Felscn was born at Mlwautee IN
1894. He is Ave feet nine inches tall
and weighs $50 pounds
