Since the trade last Fall which sent

have been seeking outfield reinforce

At present there are only four fly

It is well known, although not Of

@HICAGO. January 1s.-It's

" even harder to stay up there.
But the toughest assignment

trail has been sprinkled with so many
detours that the White Sox are be-

thing after all to the old saw, "they
never come back"
Although the late Charles A. Co.
miSkey, base balls "old Roman" and
his son, j. Louis Comiskey, have spent
money lavishly for players, hired as
many as nine different managers and
tried every conceivable experiment,
their comeback campaign has been

the first division Of the American
League since 1920.
Many Players Tried.
Probably 400 players, some Of them
obtained for prices ranging upwar,.
from $50, 900, have been tried in an eff
fort to develop a winning combina-
ton, with the same old result.
The only achievement the White
Sox have accomplished to cheer about
over the bleak years is consistent su-
periority over their North Side rivals,
the Chicago Cubs, in the city series.
Last season the Cubs refused to play

loosening up and giving the White Sox
fair chance to buy the stars they
offer on the player mart.
Possibly, Comiskey will get what

Record With Browns Weak.

IN APRIL 27, 1882, Hadley, with
- Bruce Campbell, outf1elder, was
shipped to st. Louis in exchange
for Red Kress, the utility infielder
now with the Nationals. That year
Bump was in poor form. He won
just IA games and lost 81. That made
him the moSt-beaten pitcher in the
circuit He also issued Ill passes,
more than any other pitcher. With
ST.. Louis in 1888 Hadley had record
of Is victories and 20 defeats. He
pitched the greatest number of in
nings, 3I7, that season, but again gave
141 walks, to be rated the widest
pitcher in the league.
Last year Bump won 10 games and
lost 16 for the Browns. His earned
run yield averaged 4.35 per nine in
nings. And again he was wild, for he
gave 1877 passes. But he still had that
old zipp on the ball, and the curve
still was bending.
With the Nationals again, Hadley
may reasonably be looked to for bet
ter results. He liked it here before,
and toiling with the Nationals again
under the same management Bump
might make that great pitching ability
count for something really worth while.
Both Griffith and Harris believe he
will. Here's hoping they're right.
