White SOx AK Falls.

CHICAGO, March 30.-The ak fell
in the White Sox training camp at
Shreveport. La, yesterday along with
another rain which prevented game
between the Sox and the Gassers.
Manager Eddie Collins announced
that Happy Gus Foreman has been
released outright to the Beaumont,
Tex club and Milton Steengrafe
given to the Shreveport club. The
latters release was on option, in
dicating that he may be tried out
again next Spring.
The release of Steengrafe and Fore
man reduces the pitching staff to
IL.
Rain also got in it's work on the
coast and prevented game between
the Cubs and Angels at Los Angeles,
Calf The Cubs left last night for
a couple OF games with Sacramento.

AUTO RACES TO DE PALMA.

PHOENIX, Ariz., March 30-Ralph
De Palma won the mile and fve-mile
automobile races on the State Fair
track here yesterday, setting a new
track record of ~ 1-5 seconds in the
mile event. His time in the fve-mile
race was 1853 3-5 Frank Lockhart and
Eddie Hearne finished second and third
respectively, to De Palma in both
races.

hlmmlck has been tried before.
He is not a finished second baseman
and probably does not even pretend
to be. Shortstop is more to his
liking. He never has been a rugged
batter and, like others of the pills,
seems unable to carry the team along
because of that deficiency
Sand is about the same and Hawkes.
must go farther than he has TO sup
plant Holke satisfactorily. When all
is said, it is not an infield that gives
hope, although it is one that will
give all it has got.
OuffeId Looks Better.
The outfield looks better. Burns. in
left field-the same ruddy-faced
George who played outfield for the
Giants as well as any player McGraw
ever had-is Is pounds below his
weight of last year and as certain
as to where a fly ball is going to
land as he ever was. Harper, in
center, is a clever outfieIder, while
Cy Williams, at his own request. has
been moved to right, where he will
sight fly balls from his port instead
of his starboard eye.
Mokan can fill it for the outfleld
and when he is playing at his best
he is by no means a bad outfielder.
The Philies also have some kids TO
help them and Joe Schulz, good
pinch hitter.
Two good catchers, HenIine and
Wilson, go far to support the pitch
ers, who include Ring, best of the
lot, Carlston, Couch, Oeschger and
| Mitchell. There also is Knight, who
pitched ball down in Texas last year
A controversy is raging over Knight.
| Two sports writers have wagered
large and costly cigar. the one con-
tending that knight will be out of
it when taps sounds at the end of
| the season. and the other that he will
| be right up in the front seat of the
| bandwagon. knight appears to be
| a pitcher, and the writer has a sneak
ing suspicion that the fellow who is
wagering on Knight to come through
will be the one to smoke the large
! and costly cigar.
! Knight has control, which cannot
| always be said for young pitchers,
| and he has a slow ball which ad-
vances So the plate as coyly as a
young woman approaches a fortune
teller.

stood the Yanks on their heads by
clever bit OF strategy in recent
game with them. Never trying 10 hit
the ball out, they placed three sue
cessive hunts down the third base
line, catching Dugan fiat footed and
catching the pitcher even fatter.
With those three hunts and a sacrifice
ny, they scored three runs so quickly
that the bat boy had to beckon the
New York players in at the finish or
the inning. They were still scratch
ing their heads when the game was
over.
