CHICAGO SOX
ARE PENNANT
CONTENDERS
Improved Caliber of Mound
Stuff, Plus Kamm, Make
Them Dangerous.
i i
By HAROLD JOHNSON
SEGU1N, Tex.. April 3.—Pitching
of a vastly improved caliber is prom
ised the Chicago White Sox tins sea
eon. Moreover, the infield, reinforced
by the acquisition of Willie Kamm.
1100,000 thin! baseman, last seas m
with the San Francisco Seals, will b
faster and tnoro reliable than any
other group assembled by Kid Glea
son slince the dismantling of his once
peerless machine.
From the Initial boll on Apilll 18.
Chicago should bo a pennant con
tender in the American League—a
cock.sure one, two, three entry.
Only Two Holdouts
"Dead timber has practically' been
eliminated. At the start of the con
ditioning grind, Mr. Gleason was
handicapped by the customary batch
of holdouts, but at this time there
are only two absentees—Ernie John
son. veteran shortstop, and Charlie
Robertson, a right-hander who last
season pitched a no-hit perfect ball
game again.-t Detroit. It is believed
that Johnson will soon enroll with
the club. The management professes
to be unconcerned over the status of
Robertson.
(Manager Gleason has made rapid
Strides in pointing his linlleid. Be
sides Kamm, and the veterans, Col
lin* and Sheely. ho has been for
tuna be In uncovering two promising
youngsters in Leo Taylor, a Butte
semipro, and Louie Rosenborg, who
halls from the sand lots of San Fran
ciaco. Both are fast.
In addition to the 1922 pitching
Staff, the Sox have acquired two
strong right-handers in Frank Wood
ward, the iron man of the Eastern
League, and George Connelly, former
ly of Toronto.
‘Mack Is Fixture
Stubby Mack, who came to the
club from Seattle in a $23,000 deal, is
another night hander regarded as a
fixture.
The great Urban Faber apparently
has lodt none of his stall!. His arm j
fls as strong as ever.
Ted Blankenship, a 1922 recruit, j
who astonished the circuit, is at the!
top of hrs form.
The 'Sox are expected to depend j
upon Hooper. Falk and Mostll in th‘e;
outfield.
Ray Sehalk. entering upon his 12tli
campaign with the Sox. is slated to
shoulder the brunt of the catching.
Wise baseball men who have been
watching the Sox perform against
the ‘New York Giants, are certain
that the team will be a dangerous
contender all the way in 1923.
FIRPO SIGNS

NEW YORK. April 3. Luis Firpo
has signed a contract to box Jack
McAullffe, of Detroit, 13 rounds, in a
vbairity show on May 12.

URGES MUNICIPAL BAND
Juneau. April t.—To The Editor:
Is it not time and in proper order to
lining about some efforts to organize
! a Junciuu Miiii.iuipnl Band?
| There are in this city at present,
two or three good hand directors and
one of thnso men should be selects 1
and paid a s.ilari’ of at least $100 a
month, direct from the city treasury
That salary should be paid from di
root taxation and not by any sub
soription list sent around among bus!
ness people. The amount of niusi
uiens we have here would mike ar
excellent band, but to nuke it a
| success, an experienced band direr
ter .-lieu I be engage 1 and paid a
decent salary. The citizens of this
city, I am cure, are amply able to
pay what little exftr.t f ixation there
would be added lo their taxes, due to
the engaging of a band director.
Presido.nt Harding may visit us this
summer and not forgot liing that
‘'Princess Mary" and the “Queen"
honors us with a call now and then;
so let us organize a musical organ
ization so that we can receive these
visitors in a manner befitting the
Capitol City of Alaska.
Thanking you lor I his space if
you care to publish the foregoing.
Sincerely,
CEO ANDERSON.
