THOMAS PURCHASE
 WAS SHREWD TRADE
White So1 Specializing in Pitch,
 CTS in Winter Markets

1 Chicago, Jan. II CP'--The Chica- go White Sox have been specializing , in pitchers in this winters trading season, both buying and selling. with a couple of infelders picked up be- tween deals for new boxmen.
 In obtaining Alphonse Thomas from Baltimore, the brightest star among the league twirlers the Sox put over one of the shrewdest trades ! of the winter Last year they gave Manager Dunn of Baltimore Out fielder Maurice Archdeacon. in re- turn for first pick on the Orioles squad at the end of the season, Originally the Sox paid Dunn more than s50,000 for Archdeacon and Dunn figured that the Sox would want Joe Boley, shortstop, for whom many majors bid high last winter. But not high enough for Dunn. Instead Owner Comiskey picked Thomas, who won thirty games and lost II in the International league last yead, putting one over on Dunn who holds most of the records for high priced player sales to the major leagues. Dunn had figured on get ting over Sl0o,o0o for Thomas.
 With old Chief Bender as pitch ing coach, Manager Eddie Collins has high hopes of finding the ma terial he needs, either from the five new hurlers drawn from t'a minors. or the five recalled for further test. Two of the new ones are also h. dians, Earl McBee. a southpaw, and Bill Carney. Carney came from the Ardmore. Okla, Western Assoca- tion club while from the Muskogcc team the sox bought Big Jim Car roll, who struck out csS batsmen last season.
 The first Mexican in the major leagues will be Lee Alanis whom Collins hopes to develop into a regu- lar shortstop. Playing with OkmuI- gee in the Western Association last year, he hit 1858 and haggcd S4 home runs. Another inheld pros- pect Is Moe Berg, former captain of the Princeton University nine. The Sox obtained him from Reading, Pa, Ray Morehart, recalled from Win chita, i5 the third shortstop pros pect.
 The Soy need some one ready for that post of Ike Davis fails to recov- CT from his injured knee. The first ball Of the city series last fall split his knee cap. Collins himself may need some capable relieving, al though his base stealing record of last year does not indicate he is slowing up.
 Ray Schalk will open his four teenth year behind the lat for the so%, while his major league game record Is approaching 1.600.
 Willie kamm, the sl00,0O0 pur- chase of a few years ago, and Earl Shecly, will again be al the third and first corners. with four veterans and three youngsters ready for the outfeld.
