1.-TWO more games with the Indians
and the Nationals viii turn
their attention to the White Sox.
DOME Bush, who piloted the
Washington club and the Pirates be-
fore taking up the reins at Chicago
this year, will bring in here Tuesday
an outfit he has rebuilt to a great
extent and one that is doing better
than it did in the early weeks OF the
campaigning The White Sox were
plain poison to the Nationals in Chi
cago last month. Then they licked the
washington outfit three times in four
starts. In their last invasion OF Grit
fifth Stadium this year, the Chicagoans
are to play but three games.
The White Sox are playing DOME

DOME is one of the most peppery man

the Chicago club is developing the
habit of never being whipped until the
last man is out. The Pale Hose have
been beset with pitching injuries and
other mishapS and have no chance to
get anywhere this season, but Bush Is
building carefully for next year.
TT seems that more or less by acct
/ dent the White Sox are getting some
of the best first base play they have
had in several years, according to word
from the Windy City. Out that way
they claim the first baSing now Is the
best the club has had since Earl Sheely
was in his prime.
When Bush traded Shires to the Ma
tionals he expected Bud Clancy TO MI
the first base post satisfactorily. NO
sooner had ShireS gone, however, than
Clancy was injured. Something mao
to be done so Bush sent Johnny wat

from Chicago, Watwood never pulled

first base he was quite at home.

Auburn, in Alabama, Watwood was a
