Russell Qena) Blackburne, start
ing his first season as manager Of
the club, points with pride to the
racing gears installed in his base
ball machine and expects speed to
carry him to managerial fame.
Manager Blackburne in a mea-
sure is stalking his reputation on
the ability of Johnny Kerr, his new
second basernan. With previous
major league trials with Detroit be-
hind him, Kerr was drafted from
Hollywood Of the Pacific Coast
league. He has been given the
second base assignment.
The remainder of the infield will
be unchanged from the arrange
ment in force at the close of last
season, Bill Kamm at third base;
Chalmer Cissell. short and Art
Shires, first. Shires, although only
q years old and a major league
player Of record for only 33 games,
Will captain the team, succeeding
Kamm, the veteran Of the infield
at 20. Kamm has been with the
Sox seven years. Shires did well
with his limited opportunities last
autumn and has unlimited conf
dence in himself.

Texas, George Blackerby, who
finished the season in Chicago, Clar-
ence Hoffman, high priced addition
from the Pacific Coast league and
John @. Watwood, late Of AIexan-
dria and Shreveport, La, must be
reckoned with before all the places
are filled.
Martin Autry, a catcher who had
little chance to catch on the Cleve-
land club, top heavy with good re-
celvers, came to the Sox in ex-
change for Bib FaIk and was at
once installed as first string bat
terry man. Autry, a big fellow who
thrlves on work, will be assisted BY
Morris Berg. reformed infielder,
n Clyde Grouse, a near veteran.
The White Sox have little expert
mental work to do in discovering
additional pitching talent. The
main task will be getting effective
results from the workmen at the
bench.

NEW YORK, Dec. 11.-As an
elimination bout, Mondays meeting
Of Phil Scott ind Otto Won Porat
was a complete cuccess.
The foul blow which ended the
bout after one minute and twenty
five seconds Of the second round MOI
only eliminated both principals
from cons. deration as contenderS
for Gene Tunney's vacated cham
pionship, but appears to have selimi-
mated the two feature heavyweight
attractions planned for the winter.
Jack Sharkey, Boston, and Max
Schmeling, German champion, are
now the only prominent contenders
for the championship. A match be-
tween Sharkey and Schmeling ap-
pears to be the only natural" in
the heavyweight division and pros
poets of such bout are dubious.
Madison Square Garden Corpo-
ration holds an exclusive contract
to Sharkey's services and had
planned to use the winner of Mon
OdJ 1I1S1lG D DO4G 90 ala OPPO4ACl4O 4O1
Sharkey in the annual feature bout
at Miami Beach early next year.
Max Schmeling is at war with the
Garden and has signed with an
outlaw group to fight an I'M
selected opponent at Atlantic City
Feb. %. The Atlantic City pro-
moters hoped to secure either
Sharkey or the Scott-Von Porat
winner as the other principal.
