Assoctated Press, Chicago, I"¢b, 4.—Prospects of a first division club in the American league, and possibly a pennant con- tender-{s the aim of Eddle Collins. new manager of the Chicago White Sox. If enthusiasmn any dope are any criterion, the White Sox may prove to be the “dark horse” in the 1925 American league pennant drive, Collins merely declares emphatically that the club will “finish where it belongs.” “1 have a young, growing tcam," declared Collins. “Harry Hooper and myself are the only véterans on the club, outside of the batteries. Our youngsters are good for an indefinite number of years in base- ball and we have big possibllities.” Scrutinizing the records, four of the recent American league pennant winners were piloted by flist-year managers. 1d Barrow put the Red Sox acress in 1918 on his initial ap- pearance as pilot. Kid Gleason in his first year at the helm in 1919, pushed the White Sox under the wire in front. The veteran Tris Speaker won the pemmant the fole lowing season when he took the reins at Cleveland and “Bucky” Har- ris, making his debut as manager last season piloted the Washington I §enators to a pennant and a world's title. Collins is well pleased with hs club and is depending upon two men, who at times last season, shot- ed only flashes of promise. These arc Pitcher Ted Blankenship and Outflelder Johnny Mostil. With Falk and Hooper occupying the other outfield berths as regulars, the new pllot belfeves his troubles there have heen solved. He also has Archdea- con and Elsh as substitute fly | catchers. | Diamond Flashes Were Not so| The shortstop position, the weak- cst spot on the club last season !geems to be well cared for with Ike Davis, former Columbus American association player who joined the club late in the season, avatlable.

OLD TRIPLE PLAYE | Back in the Old Days These Freak Very Unusual, No so long ago a triple play was It was looked | upon as the out-of-the-ordinary in bascball, It was unusual, as it were. One or two such performances dur- ing a season came close to being the | considered a big feat. while subbifg at short, will be able to overcome this fault, Coliins be- lieves. Barrett is a good hitter. Hervey McCleéllan and Johnny Car- tozzo also are candidates for the po- sition, as 1s Wojak, formerly with Quebec and who foined the Six in time last fall to make the European trip with the Giants. There are four léft handed pitch- ers on the roster and Collins is hope- ful of developing one who will be able to take his turn with the right- handers. The southpaws are Mike Cvengros, Foreman, Davenport and Ash. The right handers on the ros- ter are- Faber, Leverette, Mangum, and Steengraafe. Willie Kamm, the $100,000 Coast league beauty, suffered a slump in his batting last season and this ap- peared to affect his general play, He is expected to strike his stride this year and will be the regular third- sacker. Earl Sheely will return to the initial sack and will have a capa- ble assistant in Bud Clancy, made the White Sox and Giants. Collins will return to the keystone (Continued on Following Page.) maximum. Times have changed of recent years, however. The old three-ply | killings aren’t qutie so unique; they are more common now. Ifact is, the play causes but little stir of exgite- ment. The oddity has worn off, ap- parently. | Last season there were 11 triple plays registered in the major leagues. The American had six of them, the Red Sox toping all clubs with three. A good record, indeed. The St, Louis Cardinals were close behind with a pair. THE WORM IN THE MOVIES.
