Lot Sde Offer to Fight Moran

BY BILLY EVANS;

Doing the unexpected often stirs
up an argument. In one play. both

men are on the bases, two outs, two
strikes and three balls on the batter
The base runners are off with the
start of the pitch. Umpire rules the

Ihe fact that he scored via first base
means nothing. He just covered that

kumors that a deal was to be made,

CHICAGO. January THE return Of

the lineup of the South Side American
League club for the coming season.
Optimistic statements came from the
"Old Roman" over the teams prospects.
despite inability to buy or trade for good
players from other jor league teams
II don't expect any help" Comiskey
said. I'VE might make a trade if we
wanted to, but we haven't any trading
material. We need all the men we have
left. | guess no one wants to sell US
any players. If they did they probably
would be letting us know about it, for
they know we would like to buy
At least two of the teams recruits,
Comiskey declared. are ready for regu-
lar berths. One is Johnny Mostil star
outfielder last year on the Milwaukee
American Association team, who is
backed by Catcher Ray Schalk for lead
off man in the batting order, and the
other is Earl Sheely. heavy hitting Coast
