TR0SKY FIGURES
IN S0X CHANCES
BY CHARLES CHAMBERLAIN

FRENCH LICK, IND, March 20
III Packy Schwartz, Chicago
White Sox Trainer, was checking
his supply Of medicines and oint-
ments which go to keep creaks
out of the ball players.
"See this?" he asked, holding up
bottle. That's liquid vitamin B.
l, which is supposed to calm down
the nerves. We pump it into Hal
Trosky at three-day intervals"
What gasoline is to the auto,
this stuff is to the slugging first
baseman. Troubled with head
aches, Trosky was forced to re-
tire from baseball early in 1912
after compiling .313 batting aver
age and slamming 216 homers
over a nine-year stretch with the
Cleveland Indians.
Now that he's in better health,
thanks to vi t a m i n injections,
Trosky may provide the long-need-
ed distance punch that the White
Sox have lacked.
Trosky has kept in shape during
his two-year layoff by working on
his 3OO-acre farm near Norway,
Iowa, and is down to about 100
pounds-15 less than he packed in
his playing days with the Tribe.
He's an industrious worker and
has looked good in batting prac-
tees" chirps Jimmy Dykes, the
Sox skipper. Il think he's ready
for a good year"
Although Dykes just bites the
end of his ever-present cigar when
you try to connect the White Sox
with the American League pennant
this season, you can bet 31-year-
old Trosky, who is among 10 draft
ineligibles on the club, has given
him some high ideas.
Three other newcomers figure in
his plans, but two of them are
classified la - Third Baseman
Grey Clarke from Milwaukee, the
A m r n Association batting
champion with a 1861 mark, and
Ed Lopat, southpaw pitcher who
won 10 games and lost 10 with
Little Rock, Ark, of the Southern
Association.
The third newcomer is outfieIder
John Dickshot, 192-pound At
who hit 1856 for Hollywood of the
Pacific Coast League last year
and drove in IS runs.

Ry WHITNEY MARTIN


NEW YORK. March 29-REThe
Observation-Disclosures, which has a
working 4 cement wi h the
second guN;ers' league, already
has picked Carl Hubbell to fill the
vacancy as manager of the New
York Giants when, or if, Mel OFT
goes into the service.
The eff is inserted because OF
free-lance opinions that Otty, due
tn faulty vision or stove-in legs or
something, might not be accept
able for the armed forces, although
we have noticed that when these
self-appointed examining boards
predict ball player will be re-
iected because he is joined-up with
piano wire here and there or mas
housemaid's knee or London-bridge
arches he invariably is snapped up
by the official examiners, while
some apparently healthy specimen
is turned down because OF some
affliction he never knew existed.
Anyway, if Hubbell were selected
in event of Otis departure it would
be popular move and it couldn't
happen to a nicer guy. And, not
so incidentally. it probably would
mean that the fans again would
see the old king of screWballs-
and no disrespect meant-laborlng
on the mound.
Hubbell retired as an active
player to run the Giants farm sys-
tenn this year, but he still was
active enough to win four games,
and lose four, last year and prob
ably has some more pitching in
him. Winning pitching, at that, as
a lot of the hitters this year never
met screwball before, and still
think it refers only to fellow who
swallows goldfish or wears his
necktie backwards.
