New York, March 12.-CIarence
Rowland is liable TO find q rather
peSE@ pitching problem staring him
in the face before the White Sox
swing into the stretch in the coming
Am erican league race.
As the Sox finished the sea son Of
1917 in a blaze OF glory they did not
look like a club that would need to
make any additions in the way of
playing talent for 1918. But this has
been tough winter--apd the 1918
sea son is something else again.

placed In class I Of the army draft
was blow to the supporters OF the

job. However, F'aber will not be

Should Faber he called. one OF the
second string sox pitchers will have

And Just as uncertain as Faber's
ability 10 play ball THIS summer is the
chance that Eddie Cicotte will pitch
the same sensational brand of ball
that did SO much toward clinching the

In part:
IN view of the honest conduct of
recent affairs of the kind in this city.
1t should not be necessary to warn
against any dishonest practices. The
game has certainly received a big
boost in this town ~ winter and In
the hands Of Jack Curley and Louis
Meyer it doesn't seem that 1t can go
wrong. The match will be fought on
the level" Eight thousand persons
who viewed the bout, which resulted
in a draw, saw nothing suspicious.
To silence the critics of wrestling
at home. 1t might be interesting to
note the fact that Jack Curley booked
Stecher for the match mere next Tues
dav night. The bouts In New York
were straight. why should they be
otherwise In Richmond?
In regard 10 the criticism Of DR..
Roller the chances are nothing would
have been said had local promoters
secured an unknown grappler to mix
things with the heavyweight champ
ion of the United States army. That
unknown may have been a dub. and
failed TO furnish even good prelimi-
nary. On the contrary DIR. Roller Is

For a cool, comfortable wash-day this
