CAN White SOX
COME BACK, IS
ASKED BY FANS
Question Universal Whether Ron
Raats Of Once Strong Team Can
Stand with MakoshiftA.

Chicago, Feb. s.-United Press.l
What about the once powerful
White Sox ball club-will it have
. chance in 1921?
Followers Of the national game
everywhere are asking this Ques-
ton as the opening of the season
draws nearer. Can q club that has
lost such great players as Jackson.
Felsch. Weaver, Cicotte and Will
liams, among others, who were sus-
pended and indicted, be built up on
one spring training trip SO that it
can be q pennant contender?
When the new White Sox team
trots out for the first time this sea-
son it will be regarded with the
greatest curiosity by the fans, for
1t will be these players who will
answer the question uppermost in
the minds Of fans who have follow
ed the flag Of Comiskey.
A good guess now as to the open
Ing lineup would be as follows:
Schalk, catcher.
Kerr, pitcher.
Sheoiy, first base.
E. Collins, second hasa
Ernie johnson, sh0rtsf0p,
Mulligan, third base.
]. Collins, left field.
Strunk. center field.
L1ebold, right field.
It will be seeen that the new
White Sox. as they now look on
paper. will not be an entirely green
team. The outfield will be COM
posed Of seasoned veterans, al
though it is quite possible that
Johnny Mostil, last year with Mil
waukee, will be given q chance at
center in place of Strunk.
Up to Infield.
But it will depend to q very great
extent upon the new members in
the infield whether the Sox are to
be in the running or not.
> The three new men on the in
field played with the Salt Lake
club last year and made excellent
showings. Shelly hit .374 last sea-
son, Johnson 1897 and Mulligan .29s. !

star than any other de-
,artment.

CHAPTER L-COntinued.

Ninettes destination that dark night
was far different than Dorothy's. She
had wandered through the streets almless-
Iy at Arst; then remembrance had guild
ed her. and she had turned toward the
lodgings which she had occupied with
Josh Wheeler at the time Of bis death
When she rang the doorbell woman
whom she had never seen before greeted
her. and Ninette paused on the step. IN
certain Just what to do.
II stayed here long time ago" she
began falteringly, and I wanted 70 come
back and live here again. l didn't know
that things had changed here, but If you
could give me room"
"Oh, why Of course can. my dear
come In out Of the rainY urged the
woman, and her kindly voice warmed Nj
nettes lonely heart. There's just the
corner for you all ready and waiting, and
I've a pot Of tea on the fire this min
ute: you look to me as If something hot
to drink would do you good. My, but
you're dripping wet-IN dry your things
for. you after you've gone to bed"
Such friendiiness was almost too much
for Ninette who could hardly keep back
the tears as she followed the woman up
stairs And when she found herself In
the little room that had been hers when
she and Josh were so happy together she
could no longer control them.
"Oh, John. If you had only stayed with
mel" she soLbed burying her face in the
cushion Of the old chair In which he had
so often sat.
But after a few moments she rose,
dried her eyes and unpacked her few
belongings This was no time for lamen-
tations; she must plan her search for
work on the morrow.
