MACK'S VERDICT
The White Sox manager has a
great respect for Connie Mack, un-
der whom he became a star, and OF
fers a rather interesting angle on
the Barrett case.
Barrett should be IA great short
STOP says Eddie, "but | don't be-
lieve any player will ever achieve
greatness working at position he
doesn't like.
IF Connie Mack hadn't passed
Bill up rs shortstop he probably
would have developed into 4 star.
am sure the psychology Of the
reverse remains with Bill"
Collins modestly explains that un-
doubtedly Barrett keeps saying to
himself if Connie Mack cOuldn't
make 4 shortstop out of me, Eddie
never will.
INJURY HELPS
Injuries seldom help ball play
er. particularly a broken bone in
the leg, yet that may prove to be
the case with Southpaw Dave Daven-
pert of the Sox.
Davenport always promised much
but failed to quite reach because OF
lack of control. He appeared to
have too much speed. Last season
he suffered a broken ankle sliding
That break may make him.
He seems to be favoring the leg in
his delivery and doesn't appear to
have the Walter Johnson smoke as
of yore but he keeps cutting the
plate.
The forced change in style may
supply the one asset he lacked, con-
troll. If so, keep your eye on him

Missing B. & M. Rail
Worker Tells of.Being
Maltreated by Gang

Beverly, Mass, May n = (AP) =
Donald E. Douglas, a Boston O.
Maine Railroad employe, who disap-
peared last Monday, returned to his
home here today in an exhausted
condition with story of having been
blackjacked in Boston, kidnapped
and put through a third degree by
what he believes was a rum running
gang. Lacerated wrists and feverish
condition which confined him to his
bed bore out his story.
Douglas said he was stripped to
prevent his escape and was tied to
radiator in a house somewhere in
Lynnfield all Monday night while
several men grilled him. The men,
he said, apparently believed that his
trip to his former home town of
Gloucester and conversation with a
coastguard friend there last Satur-
day meant he was connected with the
service. He said he finally convinced
them they were wrong and he was
allowed to go. The gang, he said,
took blindfiolded into the woods last
night and dropped from from the car,
which had brought him to Lynnfield.
A telegram, signed "Tom," was
received by Mrs. Douglas earlier to-
day saying that her husband would
return safe by night.
