DOC" WHITE WON
FAME BY FLOATER
Lacked Speed but Brains
More Than Made Up for
the Deficiency.

He is DR. G. Harris White, Washing
ton dentist with a good practice these
days, but baseballdom once knew him
as Doe White, premier pitcher of the
Chicago White Sox from 1902-19O6
After leaving the American league
White went to Texas, where he man
aged clubs in that league for several
seasons. or late years he has been
out OF baseball entirely.
White was one OF the best south
paws in the history Of the game II
was White who helped pitch the White
Sox TO league pennant and the
worlds championship back in 1906 II
was White who famed Tyrus Cobb
three times in one game
White used slow ball which kept
the sluggers of his day guessing and
guessing often. He had marvellous
control Of the weapon and when going
right was almost unbeatable. White
turned In victory after victory for the.
Chicago club, and II was due 10 his
efforts, coupled with those of Ed
Walsh, that the Sox won the 1906 flag.
Tyrus Cobb was just beginning to
get started in the majors when White
was fading But the doctor In his last
years as a major Lacquer was still
good enough to make 1t tough for all
rivals. He liked especially to beat De
troit and seemed at his best when
opposing the Tigers.
White did not have the speed OF
other stars, but did not need II when
his slow ball was working correctly.
1t came up 10 the batter as big as a
balloon, but when It was swung ut It
wobbled itself by. White put lot
of brains into every pitch
In his playing days White weighed
175 He had big bones His height,
six feet, was another asset. Fans OF
the present would say, "He knows his
stuff" White did
