60 OE JACKSON. Chicago
White SoX outfielder and
slugger extraordinary, gave
an exhibition of Furnishing
A&GSq the ball at Russwood yes
-% terday for the edification
of the few fans who braved
LW Arctic weather and went
out to see the Chicago
Hose romp away with the Chicks in an
exhibition affair, Joe bagged four hits
his hits boing triples % the far corners
OF the enclosure. BY adding a little
steam, Joe could have made a home
run out of his last three-bagger, but
as these games don't count, Joe is not
inclined to hurry around the bags. The
mai score of yesterdays matinee was
II to 3.
Dick Kerr, a diminutive portsider who
' formerly propelled the baseball for the
Chicks, and Vino is certain TO be one
OF the leading pitchers of the White
Sox this e according to Manager
ktd Gleason's own statement, occupied
the Hill for the Hose and he acquitted
himself well. Dickie had a whole lot
of stuff when he wanted to, and there
were many times when he lobbed the
ball up to the plate merely because he
saw no use in pitching his wing off in
en- exhibition ARRAY.
Dixie Carroll, the Paducah fireman,
raised one Of Kerr's offerings over the
right field wall for the circuit in the
seventh round. Other Chick tallies oc-
CURED via punched hits in the fourth
and sixth frames.
Caravan Starts Game.
Hugh Canavan, Memphis left-hander,
started for Memphis and pitched the
first part Of the game and the Sox
found him easy picking, as is to be
expeeted, for the American leaguers
number among their hitters some OF the
premier sluggers of baseball, and as
they are used to hitting any kind Of
pitching, 1t was to be expected that
southern league moundmen would prove
pie to them.
But Caravan had one celebrity's
goat Eddie Collins, the star second
baser Of the White Sox, being absolute
" unable to get a toehold on anything
Canavan served to him. Caravan
struck out the star White Sox key
the other time Collins drawing a base
on balls. Collins finally broke into the
hit column in the ninth, when Roy
Fentress was pitching.
Joe jackson had a big day, hitting
Canavan and Fentress alike, never
the mound. On Jackson's first time up
he shot a liner to Dixie Carroll. His
next trip to the plate netted him a
single through the box. In the next
Visit OF jackson TO the plate ne tTlpled
to deep center, Dixie Carroll running
his tongue out in an effort to retrieve
the ball. Jackson came up in the sew
enth and was let down with a single. In
the ninth Gentleman Joe came up for
the last time and he satisfied the fans
by letting loose another t~hree-bagger
almost to the centerfield boards.
Sox Hit Ball Hard.
The White Sox hit the ball hard in
every round and, coupled with a total
Of seven errors by the Chicks, they
had an easy time compiling a dozen
markers. They could have added more
tallies had they been so inclined, for
many Of the Hose had loafed on batted
balls that would nave been hits had
they run them out.
For the Chicks Griffin showed up
well, hagging a couple Of blows off
Kerr. Conway and Mooers also got
two. This was Mooers' first game, and
while he booted a couple of chances,
he looked fairly good out there and is
expected to come around all o. X.
The White Sox left last night for
Nashville, where they play the Vols
today. From Nashville they go to
Louisville, then to Cincinnati then TO
Indianapolis and then to st. Louis,
where they open the season with the
Browns. e. e4.. -t
