BY PAUL PURmAN.

AS the 1915 baseball season draws
near there is no way OF figuring en-
anv American League club that has
much Of a chance TO beat the White
Sox to the wire next october.
OF all the clubs in the league, the
wonderful machine ComtsEey built up
with years Of careful selection 81 stars
is practically intact. OF the IS clubs
in the major league the Sox suffered
least from the army craft.
The club which will take the field
April f3 will be the same that march
ed off with the world championship
last fall when Heine Zimmerman cha
seG Eddie Collins across the plate
with the winning run II the final
game Of the world series. II the
White Sox do not win the pennant it
will be the biggest surprise Of years
n baseball
stronger than last year.
The main criticism of the Sox last
wear was a rather ineffective pitching
staff-not a weak staff-bus the lack
of enough dependable boxmen n
whom all confidence could be placed
This year, unless Red Fa6er is draft
ed, the Sox pitching staff will be
stronger than last year.
Cicotte, the premier pitcher OF the
league last year, is in great shape at
Mineral Wells and should have anoth-
er great season. Fabec will win
many games unless he IS called into
government service. Williams has
more experience and should have
good season.
Russell probably will not play this
NM he
expected from Danforth and Wolf
gang. Benz is about through
Where the Sox pitching staff has
been strengthened is in two recruit:
hurlers, Shelenbacker and Paul Mus
ser. MusSer is a steady right handed
pitcher with good curves, plenty OF
speed and a fine change of pace. Last
year he was the iron man OF the
Western League, He IS old enough
and has had enough schooling under
the direction of the old bald eagle,
Frank IsbeIl. to be ready to step into
the big league shoes without mucH
bench warming. ShelIenbacker is a
fine big right handler.
OF the other rockies, Corey. Metz,
Robinson, Ray and Tedeschi. Metz IS
the only one who has much OF a
chance to remain with the club.
The infie1d will be the same as last
year, Gandl at first Collins at sec
ond. either Risberg or Weaver at
short and Weaver or McMullin at
.hird. The placing OF NfcMullin and
Risbers will dL..end great deal on
how Risberg is able to connect with
the ball this year. One OF the most
promising infield finds Of the season
IS young Eardgrove, who is sure 70
stay with the club this season.
The outfield OF 1917 is intact. Joe
Jackson, Hap Felsch and either Ne
mo Lefbold or John Collins will play
regularly Eddie Murphy will act as
utility outfielder. 1t is q great out
field extensively and deSeE5ively.
Ray Schalk expects his greatest sea
son this year. He reported several
pounds heavier than last year and be-
i.eves the added weight will give him
more strength for the long grind.
Lynn and youugster, Lees will assist
IN the catching.
with the white Sox pitching staff
looking stronger than last year and
the other Departments as good as IN
1917 it Is hard TO see hoW they can
be denied a second pe1nant.
