Hopeful Plan
ComiSkey Lends Experience
and Money to Rebuild
Popular Hose Team.
MANY YOUNG PLAYERS
BY FRANK GETTY.
United Press Sports Editor

NEW YORK. Dec. 26.-The blat-
ancy of Arthur Shires, bellicose
first baseman of the Chicago White
SoX, has obScured the fact that
other factors are quietly working to
make the club an important fac
tor in the American League pennant
race once more.
Nine seasons have passed since
the White SoX constituted a real
pennant contender, and now Charles
A. ComiSkey, dean of all living base
ball men, at 70 years of age, has put
has hand firmly on the helm in an
attempt to give his fans a real club
in 1880.
He's Veteran Enthusiast
AS his right hand man, Comiskey,
for fifty years actively associated
with the national pastime, has
chosen Ownie Bush, formerly man
ager of the Pittsburgh Pirates. The
interest and purpose of Comiskey
provides pleasing contrast to the
attitude, occasionally subject to
criticism of other owners. Instead
of retiring at 70, Comiskey, like Con-
ME Mack, is going to stay in base
ball because it is his chief interest
in life. He is extremely wealthy in
everything save winning ball club,
and he wants that more than any
thing else.
The time is propitiouS for the am
billions of "the old Roman" and his
lieutenant, OWnie Bush. The long
reign of the New York Yankees
seems to be at an end, and the Phil
adelphia Athletics, while favored to
repeat their success of last season,
somehow do not appear to be a ball
club destined for indefinite reign.
Must Be Rebuilt
The White Sox, of course, must
be rebuilt practically from the bot
tom with the friction which devel-
oped when Lena Blackburne ran the
club completely eradicated.
Recruits already lined up for the
1880 campaign include four from the
Texas league, Jimmy Moore and
George BLACKBERRY, outfielders; r.
vine JeffrieS, infielder, and Vic Fra
Sier, pitcher. Dave Harris, an out
fielder, was drafted from Portland,
and Ernie Smith, a shortstop, was
brought up from the Birmingham
club via the draft.
Several young pitchers have been
acquired: Louis Garland, from the
Joplin club, a 200-pound, 6:0215
qht-hander; Gerald Byrne, a free
agent, formerly with Grand Rap
ids semi-pro team; Pat Caraway,
from Topeka, and Frank Henry, for
merry of the Giants.
Comiskey has taken the band off
the bank roll and instructed Man
ager Bush to go to it. Ted Lyons,
AL Thomas and Red Faber should
provide the nucleus Of winning
pitching staff, if the ball club will
go out and get some runs, and the
time is ripe for a real ball club on
Chicago's south side.

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-Frank j.,
Lefty O'Doul, Philadelphia out
fielder, was named batting cham
pion of the National League in the
official averages released today.
United Press averages issued at the
close of the 1929 season indicated
that O'Doul had an average 1000,
but the official records cut two
points from this figure.
ODoul, who started his baseball
career as a left-handed pitcher, and
who had been cast off by several
major league clubs, including the
New York Giants and Yankees, is
the first Philadelphia player to win
the National League batting cham
pinnShip in twenty years.
I naddition to taking the hitting
championship with a seventeen
point lead over his nearest rival,
Babe Herman of Brooklyn, O'Doul
set new major league record for
the number of hits during a single
campaign, clouting 254 safe blows
four more than the previous high
mark set by ROGERS Hornsbv in 1922.
The Phillies' gardener barely missed
another honor, tying Lloyd Waner
of the Pirates in singles with 1871.
Other new hitting records in

Most Runs Scored, 1856; made by Rogers
Hornsby, exceeding the mark of IA made
by Hazen Cuyler with Pittsburgh in 1925
Most home runs, As; made by Charles
Klein of the Phillics, exceeding the record
of ~ made by Rogers Hornsby in 1922.
Most two-base hits, So; made by Johnny
Frederick of Brooklyn.
Further indication of the aid
given hitterS by the lively ball was
offered by the fact that the league
established six team records for
hitting-that for home runs. 754,
more than 100 over any other year;
a league average of .294 for the
eight teams; in hits, with 1858;
with total bases on hits, 1881; in
runs scored with $500; in two-base
hits with 1883, which was 1873 more
than the record of 2,210 made in
1925.

The reputation of the great Fuzzy
Vandiver of Franklin. for thinking ability
in a tight place never was oVer-rated,
but in the incident I speak of. Vandiver
collected only the place purse. Franklin
was playing Bloomington on the latter S
floor in a contest which had attracted a
huge crowd and brought considerable
money into the hands of shareholders as
wagers. Bloomington had such players
as Harlan Logan. Jude Kruger. Sponsler
and Bud Farmer. Franklin was the
Franklin Of wonder Five" days.
The game was closely contested through
out and with only a short time TO play.
Logan, he of the poker-face and lightning
brain, took the ball on an out-of- bounds
play. Vandiver was facing him at the
three-foot mark, under the Bloomington
basket.
Bloomington's favorite play from out-of-
bounds under their own basket called for
Sponsler to drive down the floor from his
position at backyard and take the pass
for an under-baSket shot.
Vandiver heard the thunder Of 5pons-
ler's feet and turned to block pass or
prevent an under-basket shot. It was
at this point. that Logan pulled his
strategy. Instead of passing to Sponsler
he merely bounced the ball of vandiver's
back. stepped in to receive the rebound
and dropped in the basket in almost one
move. Imagine 'Fuzzy's" embarrassment
and Bloomington won by point. come
