pitcher and Charles w. Lndstrom of the old Giant
Freddie listed catcher With the White Sox already
deep in backstops Al Lopez is experimenting with Chuck
at his dads old position third base His chances of stick
ing slim, but young Trosky is possible relief pitcher
Hal %. Is big and husky like his father He broke
into pro ball first baseman, like Hail. ST. but he's
pitcher In the Sox camp they say that the young
man were Just bit tougher" he could help Chicago
With his sdearm delivery Hal is very tough on right
handed hitters He proved it in the minors especially "

Trosky and Earl Averl who also has boy playing third
base for the Cubs used to break dozens OF ball games
by driving the wall.
When young Trosky says the old quit at 49, he is
borrowing bit from the truth. True, Hail. sr retired

came back with the White Sox played 1875 games ano
