ENTIRE TEAM SERIOUS

1t is very apparent that the Mostil
tragedy has upset the Chicago club
to a marked degree. Usually care.
free aggregation, the Sox seem very
serious-minded and / have no doubt
but that the Mostil affair has created
such a condition.
No one on the ball club has been
more affected by the tragedy than
Manager Ray Schalk. A great
admirer and close friend of john
ny, he has suffered severe shock
because of personal reasons. To
this, one must add the worry that
naturally results because of Mos
tits absence from the lineup.
When Ray Schalk consented to
take over the Chicago club as sue
cessor to Eddie Collins, the outfield
was one part of the club that gave
him no great concern. He felt in
Bib Falk, Johnny Mostil and Bill
Barrett he had one of the strongest
outfields in the American League,
and rightfully so. However. the pass
ing of Mostil has completely upset
his outfield plans.

When asked today the status of the
pledge, he replied:
zone hundred per cent on the wa
ter wagon"
Real progress has been made in
enforcement work during the last
year" he continued. 81 am more
convinced than ever that the policy
of eliminating sources of supply for
commercial traffic is the only prac-
tical way for the Government to
make prohibition effective"
Realizes Leaks
Andrews said he realizes there is
still some smuggling of liquor, that
industrial alcohol continues to be
diverted into bootleg channels, and
that breweries, now and then, get
out a few carloads of real beer.
But instead of this being a con-
tinuous functioninS of traffic so that
every bootlegger is assured satisfac-
tory supplies for his customers,
many OF the rum organizations have
been broken up" he said.

GOOD PITCHING EXPECTED

TIT is just possible that Bill
III Hunnefield may solve part of
H.! Schalk's worry. Last season
he did yeoman service at short. sec.
ond and third and hit mighty well.
Maybe he will prove the key to the
outfield problem by being shifted to
right or center.
Manager Schalk admits that such
a thing is possibility, but that is
as far as he would go on that score.
The White SOx should get the
best of pitching. The infieId should
prove a strong combination il the
veterans hold up. The outfieM is
Schalk's chief worry.
If John Mostil was in the lineup,
I am sure the White SoX would be
most optimistic as to their chances.
because it is a mighty good ball
club. The loss of Mostil, however,
has made most of the athletes rather
pessimistic, which is an added
handicap.

Bebe Daniels may act clownish

by the musical softness of her
voice. 1t is really pleasant to

Pola Negri has just tiny note
Of accent, but here is a voice with
fipesse, with a somewhat throaty
quality that makes her interest
ing.
esther Ralston talks like an
average person, If you understand
that. Her voice is not high pitched
nor does it reach the alto notes.
It's between the two.
George Bancroft was trained on
the stage, talks with dramatic EN-.
Lyhasis, and so does Richard Dix.
Theirs are voices with that ring
Of sincerity.
Thomas Meighan and iAdolphe
Menjou ,tpo. sound like regular
he.men. When they talk. you can
hear them many feet away.
But Chester Conklin's is diff
ferent. His is "a high pitched
voice. He himself declares that it.
Is ideal for the movies.
Emil Jannings is just learning
the English language. His deep,
resounding bass fits his appear
ailce perfectly.
Raymond Hatton has a semi.
dramatic vocal chord, with a ten
dency toward the basso. 1t can't
seem to make up its mind, how
ever, which way to turn-tenor or
baritone.
