GLEASON PREDICTS SOX WILL
 FINISH IN FOURTH OR BETTER

Manager Kid Gleason of the Chica go White SoX is the first big league leader to make a prediction for 1923
 Gleason is positive that the White SoS will not finish worse than fourth Kid isn't claiming any pennant, mere ly insists that the Sox will finish in the first division, fourth or better.
 Gleason didn't make such a predic- tion until he was reasonably certain that Eddie Collins would again cap tain and play second base for his team.
 Without Collins there is no telling what might happen to Us this year. says Gleason. His absence from the lineup would make big hole in our infield that couldn't be filled by any other second baseman in the Ameri- can league.
 1T have the best catcher in either major league in Schalk. I have the best second sacker of all times in Col lins. l have the most effective pitch CT in the league in Faber In addi- ton to that all-star trio l have many other capable performers.

BRITISH BOXER LOSES

Jimmy Cooney Hands Tommy Noble
 Severe Lacing in Their Match At
 Holyoke.
 Holyoke, April 6.--Jimmy CooHey- punched his way to clean-cut victory over Tommy Noble, British feather weight champion, in the American Legion ring last night. Cutting the Englishman's mouth in the first round with a wicked left smash and closing Noble's left eye with crashing left hook in the same session started the Irishman off on his victorious jour- ney and from that time 70 the finish he never allowed Noble an opportun- ity to get within hailing distance of decision.
 The ring generalship and experience of the English boxer saved him from probable knockout, especially in the closing rounds. The tenth was a very stormy session for Noble and when the bell rang, he was practically out on his feet. so Intense had been the Cooney attack in that frame. Noble was rocked from one corner of the ring to the other with booming rights and left and although he tried to fight back he was handicapped by his damaged optic and Cooney's ability to penetrate his defense.

SH S's''S GNsAsH
 The Chicago White Sox do not loom up as probable pennant win ner, yet Kid Gleason is in charge of a club that has much strength and will prove mighty troublesome. The sox are considerably stronger than last year.
 During the spring training trip the club was minus its regular shortstop, Ernie Johnson. a mighty valuable ball player. A salary difference was the reason for his failure to join the White Sox.
 Johnson is a player always in con- dition, so that his late reporting should not handicap him in the least. By the opening Of the season Johnson should be in top form.
 Willie Kamm, who will play third base for the White Sox, while a re- cruit, is no experiment. Kamm by his work in the spring training camp at Seguin, Texas, has proves that he is big leaguer.
 Infield Rates High
 The White Sox infield of Sheely at first. ColliDs at second, Johnson at short and Kamm at third is a real big league combination. Collins is in fine shape, although he has done but little spring work. Age does not seem to slow him up.
 The outfield is better fortified than it may seem on paper. The veteran Harry Hooper, one of the cleverest outfielders in the history of the sport, will again take care of right field. Hooper is still a great ball player.
 In center field will be Johnny Mos- til, one of the most improved ball players in the American League. With a world of natural ability, Mos- til under the direction of Kid Gleason

faction. As one former star player put 1t in praising Kamm, you are sur prised any time he fails to come Up with a ground ball. | However, it is his pitching staff that causes Gleason to enthuse most. Gleason takes much credit in the de- veloping of the present Sox staff first adding that Ray Schalk made the boys.
 Leverette, who went so well last year. should be an even better man this year with years experience to back him up.
 Robertson, who has much stuff, should also show improvement. The no-hit game which Robertson pitched against Detroit last season in which not a player reached first base. han dicapped Robertson. He worked under a strain, as he felt that the fans everywhere expected big things from him. Incidentally, it is said that his remarkable feat slightly increased the size of his hat which didn't help his work any.
 In addition. Gleason looks for great work from the Blankenship boys this year. Ted has already arrived and his brother by many is regarded as even better prospect.

 Hendricks was secured by the Yankees from Galveston in the Texas league. While the youngster has shown great promise at the bat, his fielding is still very crude, and he has much to learn in that department of play before being ready for regular berth.
