WINDY CITY
PEEVED

CHICAGO, May 10s-Windy City

ing of Hollis Thurston this spring
and the relatively poor perform
ances Of Roger Peekinpaugh with
the Sox and only the recent vim
ming streak of Ray Schalk's team
kept the wild wolves off the new
managers back.
Down In st. Louis sneers are seen
over the failure Of Fred Schultz
to hit the ball and his poor fielding
brings loud laughs from those hard
guys in the sun seats. Schultz cost
the Browns 100000 in players and
cash, yet he has failed to look
worth miserabIy small fraction Of
that amount.
Against the Griffmen the
former Milwaukee wonder cover
ed little ground, dropped fly
balls whenever he had to run
for them and displayed q poor
arm and plenty Of inaccuracy
In his peggfng. His hitting was
not impressive, either, 80 posi-.
bly, the Mound City fans have
reasons for their razzing.
Peckinpaugh opened the season a.
the White Sox shortstop and lasted
week or so. Then he slowed down
to walk and was benched in favor
of Bill Hunnefield. Except as a
utility player, Peck viii appear no
more in the White Sox lineup and
1t is limited that he may not sur
viye till midseason even In that
capacity. Then, when the South Side
fans look at q Washington box
score and see where Thurston
turned In a capable bit OF work,
they go wild and give vent to their
anger by hooting Ray Schalk, who
engineered the trade Of Thurston for
Peckinpaugh.
The fans are wrong, OF course,
because Thurston could do nothing
here owing to climatic conditions.
True, Peck's physical condition
was known all through the league
but Schalk gave as little as he
could for Washington's veteran
shortstop. And there is no GER
tainty that Thurston will prove q
big winner with tina Griffmen. He
has his ups and downs.
