taken care of for many seasons, as Williams has several years of useful ness yet before him. Here's a prediction. Larry Cheney or one of the recruits, Adams and Standridge, will pitch the first local game of the National league sched ule. Cheney, as usual, is showing a lot of early season effectiveness, and Bresnahan is grooming him to start off with a rush and put the team up in the first flight, just as Larry did two years ago. And the two rookies are showing just about as much stuff as the veteran. Their effectiveness, remember, is being developed against big league teams like the Mackmen and Phillies, GEORGES STILL OUT THERE AMID THE BULLETS Ceorpe.T2t1e.1- The latest picture taken of Georges Carpentier before he went to the front to fight for France. The Euro pean heavyweight champion has not been shot, as periodical reports will have it, and is still at the wheel of his car whisking officers about along the firing lhie. and strong minors, such as LouisvilleJ They are not displaying their wares before Class C organizations. It is probably that Vaughn and Humi? phries wil lbe held bacK, and ZabeLj will go in early. Vaughn, ot course,) will do some early duty, but he need, not be hurried, as Bresnahan seemsat to have better luck than usual in his;,' young men. cf Louisville was trimmed, 4 to 2, mainly through the good pitching ofn Cheney and Adams and the hard bat-u ting of Williams and Hargraves. Cy swatted a triple and double and Har-o graves got a triple. All Cub runai were scored in one inning. ? Coast league critics, we under-n stand, are boosting the work of Tonwl my Quinlan, the new lead-off man of the White Sox. But it is hard to see where a place is to be found forn the young outfielder. If he s regu-ii larly employed it means a vacations! for Felch, Collins or Fournier, and') it doesn't seem possible to keep onev of that trio out of the daily fray. ' Collins is a veteran gardener. Hal can bat, field and run bases. Felch is a fine-looking youngster, and oiu the coast has been batting lustily! Fournier is a .300 hitter who haSl made his mark, and if a White Soxv team can afford to keep a natural .300i hitter on the bench, then all the dope-v sheets can be tossed away. Jack iSw the first regular in quite some time who has batted over .300 for a sea- son while wearing a Sox uniform. "i And we venture the remark thati the leadoff position isn't giving Row land much worry. He has Buck Weaver for the job, and Buck proved! last year that he can do the work inl ship-shape manner. Quinlaiyeay ben retained, but we'd hate to HI him face Walter Johnson with three men" on base, and know that Jack Four nier and his bat were useless on the-"' bench. Sox beat Modesto, 8 to 1, Russell allowing four hits. Reb batted a homer, double and single. Brief andu Ed Collins each cracked two hits, t jgJgOSb -v- - azs.
