COLE AND BARNABE LOOM
AS EFFICIENT MOUNDSMF,N
Ample Right-Handed Hurting Talent Available
Peck and Ward Bolster Infield, But MostI
Has Left Serious Outfield Problem.

BY the Associated Press.
= HREVEPORT. La, March "a
A dark cloud In the Chicago
White Sox camp caused by the
. removal from the cast of John
Mostil, sensational outflelder, has
shown a silver lining. To offset in a
measure the loss of the great out
fielder, Spring indications are that the
club will have two competent left
handed pitchers. The Sox have been
woefully shy of effective southpaw
pitching in recent years. Although
both Bert Cole and Charles Barnabe
are from California, they offer con-
trasts in other particulars.
Barnabe Is just coming up to the
major leagues. while Cole is on his way
back after a brief eclipse. Barnabe
did his stunt for Shreveport of the
Texas League last year, while Cole
was with tho Mission Club in the
Pacific Coast League. If their early
promise holds through the Chicago
pitching staff will be greatly bolstered.
There is ample right-handed talent
available. The two Teds, Lyons and
Blankenship, are being counted on
strongly. and the veteran Urban Faber
will lend q hand once a week. Con
nally and Thomas are brought over

are seeking places. There are other
candidates, but these have the most
votes at the moment.
Schalk Ably Assisted.
Ray Schalk, called Cracker" is
having his first fling as a manager,
but has fitted comfortably into the
niche so far. He will do a great deal
of the catching when an injured finger
heals. He has no worries behind the
plate, as Harry McCurdy and Clyde
Grouse are both competent craftsmen.
The Yankees and Senators were call
ed to complete the White Sox infleld.
Aaron Ward and Roger Peckinpaugh
coming in trades.
Ward will play second with Peck
starting at short. II the veteran
shortstop's knee troubles him, Willie
Hunnefield, a near-great infielder, is
available to take his place. Earl
Sheely will be back at first with Capt
Kamm taking care of third. John
Clancy, hard-hitting first baseman
from the Southern Association, will be
kept and Moe Berg, former Princeton
infielder, will join the club when he
has completed some postgraduate
work at Columbia University.
Outfield Problem Serious.
Mostil's attack on himself with knife
and razor blade left a serious outfield
problem. The Sox had only five out
fie1ders and expected to keep them all.
Falk and Barrett were brought over
from last season and Ike Boone and
hard hitter with a good throwing arm,
who does not always make the neces-
sary arrangements to catch fly balls.
Moore, only 20 years of age, is max
ing a long jump from Longview of
the East Texas League to the majors
and still has something to learn.
Moore, however, has shown enough
in the training period to coivince

CURRENT EVENTS
By T. J. o'FLAHERTY.

TT is rather tough on the league of
L nations. On the eve of the meet
ing of its disarmament conference
Italy hurls monkey wrench into the
political machinery by what amounts
to an ultimatum to Jugoslavia to
cease interference in Albania. With
armies mobilizing on the continent of
Europe and the fear of another world
war creeping up and down the spines
of capitalist governments, it will be
difficult for the fake .ueace mongers
Ito even preterid that permanent peace
can be attained under capitalism.
THE real battle in the Balkans is
L between Italy and France. When
Mussolini dispatches note to Bel
grade he is actually sniping at Paris.
According to a letter from an Italian
refugee living in Nice recently pub
lished in The DAILY WORKER,
French and Italian armies are get
ting ready for hostilities and the
naval forces of both countries are
maneuvering for action. England is
backing up Italy against her histori-
cal enemy France, and Germany is
watching chance to get back some
of what she lost in the late war. 1t
looks as if nice little slaughter is
being cooked up.
THE Nationalist forces have en-
L tered Shanghai and the prize city
of the Orient is lost to the militar-
lists. The fall of this city is a de-
cisive defeat for the imperialists and
it can now be considered a certainty
that all China will soon be under
Nationalist control. The strategy of
the imperialists will now be directed
towards splitting the ranks Of the
Koumintang Party and catering to
the Right Wing, which would willingly
come to terms with the robber powers
but for the opposition of the Left
Wing.
THE effect of the latest National
L list victory in China should have
a detrimental effect on the fortunes
of the imperialists thruout Asia. AL
ready our own imperialists are afraid
that China shall become the leader
# the oppressed peoples of the Phil
ppines. The teeming millions Of
India will be encouraged to break the
British connection. Imperialism is
not sitting pretty just now tho it will
take some time for its victims to de-
tyelop enough muscle to deal it the
fiiaal blow.

responsible for dropping the pro-
posed gasoline tax calling for as
sessment of cents gallon, are
getting il in the neck from various
forces at the present.
In order to make possible the
abandonment Of the gas tax. il was
decided TO cut 100000 from vari-
Gus educational bills which were up
for passage, thus weakening con-
siderably the chances of thousands
of New York State school teachers
for a decent increase in pay.
At the same time representatives

and threatening because they fear
that the decision TO drop the gaso-
line tax will result in additional
