He still has a big following. ‘The White Sox, under Kid Gleason, finished in seventh place last season. The showing of the team was a dis- tinct disappointment. Prestige waned because the Cubs had a big year. Only the defeat of the Cubs In the clty series enabled the Sox to keep their heads above water. Kid Gleason resigned at the close of the series. It is said Kid beat the club to the punch, that Owner Com- iskey had intended to release him. ‘The passing of Gleason didn't make a hit with South Side fans, with whom he was very popular. The latest rumor ts that Gleason is to manage the Chicago Cubs. It is said the National league intends king such a move to counteract prestige that might come the x's way because of the signing of Chance. It would be an unusual situation to have Chance at the head of the Sox and Gleason leading the Cubs. | AIN'T THE SAME Four players break bones in pro-| fessional football game.

HighSchool CageSquads Start in Training Today BY JACK HOHENBERG ITH the opening of the high school basketball training sea- son today comes the announcement that prep basketball coaches will meet with Athletic Director A. C. Pelton to draw up a schedule, early this week. Pelton has not yet de- cided the time, place and date of the meeting. Prospects for a fast season are bright. No weak sisters are appar- ent at this writing. Queen Anne and Roosevelt have a slight edge up the frosh league last year, should cause the Opposition some worry. George Norton, leading second team scorer last year, is also out for a forward berth. Captain Stan Grum- mett and Johnny Talbot have been taking practice in small doses. The schedule meeting will also take up the rules and interpret them. A week after the coaches complete thelr scheduling the high school prin cipals will gather to approve the work done by the coaches. According to Athletic Director Pel- ton, the new basketball rules, espe- cially that govern the throwing of foul shots, are being favorably looked upon. “The new foul shot rule should do much to further competition,” says Pelton. “I have heart no adverse comment on the ruling and I think that we will get along with it in good shape this season.” Follow the Ball, Boys! Follow the ball, Be on the alert. The break in many an !mport- ant football game is created by alertness in keeping the old eagle eye on tho pigskin.
