THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 1921 pe Caspet Daily Cribune PAGE FIVE WHITE FOR OLD PLAG the yhas succeeded in rebuilding *pride. yager Gleason will be able to ‘staff from the large number of {re- cruits on hand. In former years, Comiskey had little difficulty getting first class pitchers, but was unable to land the men who could connect with base hits. This year the tables seem to haye turned, unless the recruit twirlers make good. He has signed a number of players who had good bat- ting marks last season, and may be- come sluggers this year. ‘Tho leading pitchers with the White Sox, and around whom the staff will be moulded, are: Faber, Kerr, Hodge and Wilkinson, the. latter two having joined the team last year. It is like- dy that Hodge and Wilkinson will be able to take a regular turn on the mound. Joe Morris of Tulsa, Okla., Muirenan, purchased from Columbus, aud McWeeney bought from Mil- Waukee, probably will round out the staff, although one or two others may be | retained. Phe infield, which was wrecked last fall, may furnish a big surprise this season. Comiskey | obtained | three stars from the Salt Lake club in Er- nic Johnson, shortstop; Eddie Mul- ligan, third baseman and — Sheeley, first baseman, If these three players ean fit in with Captain Eddie Collins, the, gnardian of the keystone sack, baseball fans-declare the infield should be one of the fastest in the country. The' three Salt Lake players have been \working together for several years and with the veteran, Collins are ‘expected to make a. creditable showing. Ernie Johnson, who will attempt to fill Risberg’s shoes at short, had a batting average of .299 in the Pacific Coast league last season. He has a strong _arm and gets the ball away ‘with’ seat speed and accuracy. Ihe ‘hole at third base, ‘caused by the® toss of “Buck” Weaver, will not be jaifficuit to fill. Two great ‘pros- cts are in line for the place, Har- vey McClellan, whe -played the role -of utility with the White Sox, is a “natural fielder and is giving Eddie Mulligan, the Salt Lake third sack- jer, a hard run for the position. Each thas a world of speed and it may not “be until the season opens that one | SPORT FLASHES HOT OFF WIRE CUE ARTISTS MATCHE] DETROIT, Mich., March 31.—Chiet “interest in today's play in the amatetir {three-cushion billiard tournament cen- ‘ered in the match between Walker «Culderwood, Detroit, and W.

Harry Hooper, obtained in a trade from Bos- jton, will become a fixture in. right field. Johnny Mostil, who was with Milwaukee last year, will play center. | | Mostil is a clever fielder, and a good) |batter, He had a sensational record} with the Mflwaukee club. | The left field position probably will fall to Amos Strunit,, aithough “Bib" Falk, the former University of Texas all-round athlete, intend to put up.a fight for th6 honors. Falk, like Sis- }ler of St. Louis, played any position jon the college team. He is a strong hitter and if retained as a pitcher, |his batting will be far above that of the average twirler. Ray Schalk undoubtedly will do the bulk of, the catching, The. scrappy little backstop, however, has some first class assistants in George Le Jennard and Lverett Yaryan, the Western league home run slugger, who was bought from Wichita last all. Jennard who was nh. Nash- yille last season, also is an excellent prospect. | BOWLING TOURNEY NEAR GLOSE IN BUFFALO, . V.

ANGLERS ENTER. PRIZE CONTEST Douds-Olliver Award for Biggest Catch Proves Attractive to Sportsmen Their exithusiasm stimulated by the handsome prizes offered by the Donds- Oliver Hardware company, Casper} fighermen are beginning to whip their tackle {nto shape for an early start to the fishing grounds when the sea-| Son ‘opens tomorrow, and it is a safe | bet that the riffles and holes on the uppér Platte river in the vicinity of | Pathfinder dam will be lined with en-| thusiastic disciples of old Iké Walton. Among the first to enter the con-| test were such.exports as John Whit- comb;Max Hirsch of ‘the Leader, “Germany” Klockseim, Bob Bragg of | the Bragg apartments, Art Schulte of | the Globe Shoe company, Max Petker|! of “Barnett’s of Course,” Mike Kin- ney, the skipper at Webel’s, and many other more or less notorious anglers who either think they can catch the | big ones or are experts at establishing alibis when they return with empty baskets. .

The Laramie Baseball team is watching the efforts of the collegians and it is probable that many of the boys will get a chalice to get into the Midwest League during the coming summer, Among the most likely prospects are: Smyth’and Sheldon, pitchers; Thomp- gon and Tucker, catchers; Rue, first base; R. Thompson, second; Wind, third;. Layman, short; Knight, left field; Warden, center; Curry, right. Waltcr Smyth of Rawlins, touted to be the best first baseman did not make his’ appearatce in the original line up but it in probable that he will be a strong contender before the sum- mer is over. 5 ,Frincis Erb who has been out for practice on mound work hits the ball well and has all the ear marks’of a real ball-player but he is being held up on account of elegibility reaufre- ments of conference rules.

Max Hirsch of the Leader and a party of friends will leave early Friday morning for Pathfinder Dam, and ex- = pect to return with the limit, and it ix almost a cinch that Frank Whitcomb will be fishing somewhere, unless a blizzard is raging.
