SPORT-ODDITIES
When Famous Track Coach
Was "WOrried" About
Making Speech in Public

Public speaking is more or less
of an art. To some it comes easy;
to others not.
Take sportive celebrities for in
stance. A few Of them can get up
before a large gathering and get
away in splendid style. They feel
as much at home as on the field of
battle. But many o: them would
rather be sent to the plate in, a
pinch with three men on, two out
and their team behind than appear
before throng to make a speech.
For a long time even such, a
great star as .Ty Cobb found it diff
ficult to speak at a public assem-
bly,. He felt anything but at ease.
1t was the toughest sort of job
for him. Of more recent years, he
has mastered the so-callcd art and

Few New Faces in White Sox Lineup For 1925
Most of Regulars Likely To Retain Jobs Despite Army of

Recruits

Kamm is perfectly competent to
handle that job, and shortstop is
the debatable spot in the Sox line
up. That explains the reason for
shifting Butler to that position.
Would Garry Water
(Which position would you prefer
to play?" l asked Butler.
"A 'bushcr' shouldn't have any
preference, if there is chance to
stick in the big show. I'd carry
water if Collins told me and it would
help the team.
81 want to play because want to
stick. OF course shortstop is new to
me, the throw is different and you
must learn to do lot of pivoting
around second, but I'll certainly give
it battle"
Butler appears to have the right
idea. 1t is not what position with
him but please let me play any place.
Ike Davis, who did we'll in the
American Association at Columbus
last season, looks worth while. He
takes a mean cut at the ball and is
experienced.
Thinks Barrett Due
Eddie Collins hasn't given up hope
FOR Bill Barrett as a shortstop. even
though Connie Mack weakened on
him. Barrett has great possibil-
ities," says Collins, "he's about due
to arrive"
Then there is Mcclellan to be
reckoned with, beautiful fielder
and fair hitter. Peculiarly enough,
in streaks he shows great power at
the bat.
However, as I look the recruits
over, l am firmly convinced that
Collins must largely look to his reg.
ulars of last season if the Sox are
! to escape the cellar.

BY BILLY EVANS

Shreveport, Mar. 23.-Not many
new faces will be seen in the lineup
of the Chicago White Sox when the
American League race gets under
way in April.
While Manager Eddie Collins has
the usual army of spring phenoms
working out under his direction,
many of whom look promising, it's
going to be a tough job to displace
the regulars.
When the batteries are announced
for the opening day game it will
probably be Faber and Schalk, with
Shelly at first, Collins at second,
Kamm at third and Falk, Mostil and
Hooper in the outfield.
Shortstop Only Uncertainty
AS matter of fact, shortstop is
the only debatable spot on the ball
club, unless some rookie upsets the
dope entirely.
Six members Of the squad aspire
to that position; four Of them arc
recruits, two holdovers, Barrett and
Nc Clellan.
Of tho rookie infielders, Johnny
Butler, who received his minor
league training under Frank Isbell
at Wichita, Kans., seems to be de-
cidedly in the running.
Butler is rangy fellow Of the
Roger Peckinpaugh type, probably a
trifle taller than the star shortstop Of
the world champs.
He has an easy, graceful style in
the field, powerful arm and is
fairly fast. Last season he hit we'll
in the Western League and Manager
Collins is hopeful he will do as we'll
in the American.
Butler is originally third base
man. However, Collins feels that

Tigers Play Golf
Golf is not barred in the Detroit
camp during spring pfacClce. Ear!y
morning play is taboo but no OBJ
lection is offered to round late in
the afternoon after the athletes
have had their baseball.
Manager Cobb, however, isn't
very strong for golf during the
season that prevents the playing of
the game.
/ Detroit is working on the theory
that the club has great chance to
win, that games won in April count
as much as victories in September
With that thought in mind
there is an earnestness to the cf-
forts of the players at practice that
is rather unusual for spring train
ing.
While Manager Cobb admits that
the Augusta weather may not be
as uniformly hot as his rivals arc
getting in Florida, he insists his
team will be more hardened t. the
tough brand that always hobs W

CARLYLE BOYS
SEEK FAMILY
BALL WREATH!

Augusta, March 23.-There will
be another brother pair in the
American League this year in the
Carlyle boys.
The elder, who had played in the
Southern last season, goes to
Washington, while the kid of the
two is with the Tigers.
Both are southerners, and it is
the opinion of the experts down
this way that the Detroit club got
the real prize Of the Carlyle fam
ily.

of the pyramids either.
The Tigers training here do not
pause at hourly intervals and as
semble in midfield to give three
rousing cheers for their beloved lead
er. 1t is no white-hooded secret that
Tyrus Raymond is not excessively
popular with his hired hands.
Cobb doesn't let the boys play
golf. He labors under the delusion
that ball players ought to play ball
He also reserves the right to tell 'em
where to get off when they don't
play it right. This system is pro-
badly all moist. 1t happens to be
the same system Charlie Schwab uses
in running the steel trust.

CHAPTER II

Admah Holtz was at the age when
every male human must cross his own
Rublcon In his own awkward boat.
To transport his lady all the Way
from Dutch Hill to a second row bal
cOny seat in Macmurrays involved a
financial program. Since the days of
Ulysses heroes have done much to gain
a wOman'S transitory smile, most of
them have awakened to disillusionment,
and have learned nothing by it. Ad-
nah knew so little of the theater that
gallery and orchestra were all one to
him; but he was already developing
that shrewdness which showed later in
his headlong plunges. Macmurray's
was his problem, so to Macmurray's he
went for his solution.
Lowliest on Macmurray's staff was
an usher named Elmer. He was a thin
boy with prominent brown eyes. a
cigarette breath and the air Of old roue.
Admah approached him with a bag
Of broken peppermints, and on the
strength of that bribe obtained infor-
nation. IfyOu were nigger YOU could
sit in the gallery for four bits; pride of
race is costly thing. Bad balcony
seats were six bits, and if YOU wanted
to sit in front where you could really
see anything it would cost you a dollfy
a ticket. Elmer plunged into realms ~
fancy, mentioning seats downstairs th,
went as high as dollar and half, b.,
Admah wasn't listening. The need a.
two dollars filed every corner of h:s
To say that he had never
seen two dollars all together in his life |
would be slight exaggeration; but Ma |
Holtz held him to account for everv
cent, allowing him no more than his
1aily dime for carfare.
How Admah set about accumulatinp
,wo dollars-and another one for general
'xpenses-constitutes a tale of dogged
persistence and devious plans. He
ried to save nickel day by walking
