SOX BEGIN TWO-GAME SERIES
WITH CLEVELAND
By Mark Shields
Too much should not be expected
of the White Sox in their two-day
.stand on the home lot against the
Cleveland Indians. The time is too
abbreviated for the South Side ath
letes to brighten up their batting
eyes and an even break will be quite
encouraging.
Manager Rowland had every man
out at the park this morning and put
each through a hard drill facing
pitchers. Especial attention was paid
to Ed Murphy and Jack Fournier, the
manager sending a right-handed
pitcher against each. Jack Ness and
John Collins were instructed, only
against the slants of Dave Danforth,
a southpaw.
For once more Rowland has signi
fied h;s intention of working a shift
in two positions when the opposition
switches from left to right-handed
pitching. This was a plan of some
days ago that did not go through,
Murphy and Fournier being allowed
to start in Washington against a
southpaw, with disastrous results.
One day's batting practice, how
ever, is not sufficient for the Sox at
the present moment Their real im
provement should come after the re
turn from Detroit, for which point
they leave tomorrow night After
that visit there will be calls from all
the eastern teams.
A team on the road has no oppor
tunity for batting exercise except
during the game, and for that reason
the slump of a club traveling is very
difficult to break up. In the Washing
ton series, though ho advance was
made, the club fought for what it got
and did not play with the lackadais
ical spirit that marked its earlier en
deavors in the east
Eddie Collins is making a better
recovery than any of the sluggers
