SOx New Infield Looks Fair,

Ing Staff Doubtful.
MANY ROCKIES SIGNED

CHICAGO, Feb. s.-what about the
once powerful White Sox ball club
win It have a chance in 1921?
Followers Of the national game every
where are asking this question as the
opening Of the season draws nearer. Can
a club that has lost such players as jack
son, Felsch, Weaver, Cicotte and VIII
nams among others who were suspended
and indicted, be built up on one spring
training trip SO that it can be a pennant
contender?"
When the new White Sox team trots
out for the first time this season, it viii
be regarded with the greatest curiosity
by the fans for it win be these players
who win answer the question uppermOst
IN the minds of fans who have always
followed the flag of COmiskey.
A good guess now as to the opening
lineup would be as follows:
SchaIk catcher; Kerr, pitcher; Shelly,
1b; E. Collins, 2b; Ernie Johnson, SIS T;
Mulligan, 3b; J. Collins, If; Strunk, CT;
Iiebold, IF.
It win be seen that the new White
Sex as they now look on paper will not
be an entirely new team 1t will depend
to a very large extent upon the new mem
bers in the infield whether the Sox are
TO be in the running or not
The three new men on the in1eld
played with the Salt Lake club last year
and made excellent shOwtngs. Seely hit
.S74 last season; Johnson, 1877, and Null
ugan, .299.
Manager Gleason win go South with a
horde of ball players, most of them IN
known recruits. The White Sox manage
ment has been unable TO make trades
with major league clubs during the win
ter and have had to depend upon the
minors. Gleason anticipates more diff
6culty in bolstering up the pitching staff
than any other department

When their sweeties are seated in the
bleachers.
Exchanging glances with sweetie and
trying to loop the ball in the basket is
an impossible combination, but these
youthful Lochinvars just will try 1t and
as result their team work is usually
below par. SO love-dazed are these
young men, It's said, that they use gobs
of face powder, brilliantine for both
hair and eyes and other identifying
preparations before each game and be-
tween halves. They must look their

When these young fellows trot out on

CONDEMN RENT
PROFITEER BILL
Real Estate Men Declare
Margins Too Low.

Strong opposition to the anti-rent
profteering bill pending in the State
Senate is expressed by members of the
indianapolis Real Estate Board and the
indianapolis Rental Board. At joint
meeting at the Chamber of Commerce
last night 1t was stated that the proposed
margins on rentals are so low that they
would discourage building rental prop
erty.
The bill, which was introduced by SEN
ator Robert L. Moorhead Of indianapolis,
provides that the return on property val
ued at $1,000 or less be not more than Is
per cent and that the return on property
valued at more than $1,000 be not more
than 10 per cent.
Figures were presented at the meeting
showing a Federal survey Of rental con-
ditlOns, which allows a gross income of
1917 per cent and a profit of 7 per cent.

NEW YORK. Feb. 6.-Besides being the
worlds welterweight king, Old Man Jack
Britton is a monologue champion.
Perhaps a running line of haunting talk
from the first to the last gong had as
much to do with his victory over Ted
Lewis in Madison Square Garden last
night as the tantalizing left which he
kept in the Englishman's face.
1t was a great exhibition Of what
Lewis doesn't know about boxing when
stacked up against clever American.
Britton gave a marvellous exhibition Of
blocking and defensive tactics. Lewis
missed enough blows to pound all the
nails in bungalow. In the fifteen rounds
he didn't hit the champion solidly a half
dozen times. Good work by the English
man showed only in the sixth and tenth
rounds
The champion was a bundle Of care and
he let his feelings out by his tongue.
Lewis hit Jack low in the fourth round
and the champion Kissed through his
teeth: That's your game, Ell, kiddo?
Trying to sneak out on a foul?"
In a clinch during the fifth round,
Britton, close to the Englishman's ear,

Pdgenlen Are Ready, H0UeUer,
TO Put Skids Under
BaptiSts Tonight.

KingsoIiver and Graham will be back
in Franklin harness tonight when the
Baptists come here in an attempt to check
the victory drive of the Butler College
FIVE on the Irvington floor. These two
Baptists stars have been out of action
with minor injuries fer several days, but
tonight will find them teaming together
at the forward stations and they should
give the Butler guards plenty to worry
about.
The other Franklin starters against
Butler probably will be Pike. center, and
Campbell or Stroll and Woods, guards.
Against this combination, Pat Page will
send his speedy outfit, composed of Hook
er and Leslie, forwards; Brown, center,
and Jones and Diederich, guards. Butler
now holds what appears to be a sure
berth at the head Of the I. c. A. L. bas-
ket-b column, but the Franklin squad
that will face the locals tonight will have
speed to throw away, and Page has
drilled his athletes hard for the contest,
not caring to take chances on defeat.
