Many New Faces
 to Appear Among the
 Chicks Next Season
By HERBERT CALDWELL

RoSa-the new chief or the Chickasaws of Memphis. is reconstructing and re-
 modelling the tribesmen for the 1921 Southern league race. Who he is, we do not know. Where he goes, we do not
 know. But the new chief of the tribes
 man has been named, This, Tom Wat | lsins, president of the club, assures us. ] Also we are assured by Watkins that the veil of mystery will be fitted on or im-
 mediately after January 10. Circum-
 stances will not permit the disclosure of
 the identity of the "mystery chief until
 that date according to Watkins. In the meantime, Watkins states that
 the new manager has been made thor
 oughiy familiar with the stock on hand,
 some of which will be retained and some
 of which will be placed on the market,
 and the new chief is planning accord ingly.
 | Considerable work awaits the new man ager of the Chicks in shaping the team | for the pennan. race, or at least shaping 1 it into what looks like formidable ag- gregation. However, conditions could be worse than at present. There is some
 trading material on hand. and several of l the left-overs are reasonably sure of | jobs next season.
 Many new faces will appear among the ! tribe when the wigwam opens for spring l rehearsal. and there will be several old l faces missing. Not more than II of last seasons troupe will answer the spring call and some of them may not finger long The old players who will. in all probability, be back, are: Catchers, Dowie and Bischoff; pitchers Tureo, Fowlkes Wolfe and Thweatt; ,infielders: McLarry, first base; Lewis, second base; Collen- berger, shortstop, and High third base. Gus Foreman, a native son, who fin ished last season in the outfield, will be back for another inspection.
 Among the most prominent newcomers are three players drafted frcm the Texas league, and who from their performances in the Long, Horn circuit last season loom up as regulars They arc Gus Will Hams, outfielder from the Fort Worth championship club; Howard Camp, out fielder from Dallas, and "Budn Hung ling, catcher and utility infielder from shreveport Several persons. including the veteran and venerable Michael Finn, who saw these players perform last sea- son, have praised them very highly ana freely predict that Memphis has secured a. jewel in each one.
 Camp and Williams are not only fin ] ished fielders, but are consistent and hard hitters Camp finished fifth among the Texas hitters with an average of .SS35 and stole IS bases. He is a native or | Alabama and still calls Munsford his home He throws right handed and pats left-handed. Camp made his debut with league in 1e1s Next season, with Char leston in the South Atlantic league, he hit .S7. which earned him a trial with the Yankees Following his service Ill inc army the Tanks sent him to Toledo but he refused to rejoin the Mud Hens last season and was sent to Dallas Williams, a left handed batter and
 gigantic fellow. has been with Fort Worth some time. Last season ne batted .2S0 and stole 2s bases. His ability to hit in the pinch was prom inent factor in Fort Worth's winning the pennant.
 Hungling- has been with Shreveport since 1918. He joined the club as | catcher. but played only few games, as the season was cut short. During the 1919 and 1920 season Hungling was switched about the infield, playing first and second and behind the bat. Last season he hit .277, but according to those familiar with him he is bet ter hitter than this average indicates. ,, He is a six -footer and is fast for big man. Hungling is reputed to be more
  position.
 Among the other newcomers is Cliff Yockey, an infielder secured from St. Paul. but last season with Joplin Of the Western league. Yockey was one of the most versatile players in the league last season, performing at all four .infield places. He batted only PAT, but is reputed to be dangerous hitter in a pinch and also a better hitter than his average last year indi- cates
 Two new pitchers are familiar to To- cal fans. They are Dan Griner, vet eran, and Jimmie Browne, youngster secured from St. Paul. Both are right handlers Browne was with the Chicks in 1919. Griner is a native Tennessean and has been seen here in exhibition games as a member of the Saints. The remainder of the new material on the roster is made up of mostly semi pros.
