CHICAGO NEEDS FIRST BASEMAN Editor’s note: This is the fifth of a sei ii s dealing with 1931 pros- ; pects of the various major leagu>< basebaU c lubs. By Henry McLeinore, I P. Staff Correspondent. i New Y. rk. Mar. 27 i(J.R:- Il is ironical that President Charlie Cumiskey's Chicago White Sox should he in need of a capable first baseman, for the “old Roman" w is, in his playing days, the greatest first baseman of ids time. Given a real first sacker, Manager Donie Bush would be likely to bring his White Sox into the first division of the American league in 1931. It is an open secret that the Sox are angling tor la w Fonseca us the Cleveland Indians and if they get the slugging Lew torth place in the league might well become an open fight between Detroit, Cleve- , land and Chicago. t'niil sinh time as the Fonseca ;or some other trade is completed, the first basing will be handled by: Johnny Watwood or Ray Radcliffe, 1 with the former hiving the edge. Aside from the weakness at first, the White Sox are a much stronger club than the ona which finished seventh last year, especially in the box. Ted Lyons, who pitched 29 com- , plete games last year, again will I head th ? staff with Pat Caraway, southpaw, s cond in command. Caraway, in his first season of major league competition last year, fin-! ! ished with an earned run average ! only to Lyons. Tommy Thomas, bothered with a , lame arm most of last season, is fit once again and should do his share. Rounding out the staff will be Hal M< Kain, Garland Braxton,! vice Fravli r. and the venerable i sp’t-baller. Red Faber. Behind the bat the Sox have no , worries, despite the fact that Moe Berg, ace catcher in 1929, lias not peporte.l. Penny Taie, who batted I better than .300 last season, will do the first string work with Jhe :ejuven:ited Butch Ilenline and I Frank Grube helping out. Unless third baseman Willie Kamm goes in a trade the Sox will ! present a goo 1 infield with Chai-, mers Cissell at second, and Luke Appling at short. Mel Simon, obtained from Louisville last tn ;nth, Smead Jolley, and Carl Reynolds will handle the out-, field. Simon is a slow stat ter but a real player once underway Jo!! ley can hit and throw but is powerfully slow. Reynolds is rapidly de veloping into one of the outstanding outfielders in the league. Johnny Kerr and Irving Jeffries; give Bush capable infield reserves, while Fothergill, Finlator and Eichrcdt constitute the outfield sub-' stitutes. Harry Crumpacker To Try Leon Stanford Gary, Ind., Mar. 27.—(U.R> —Judge, Hairy Crumpacker, of LaPorte Superior court, Michigan City, was agreed upon today as thje presiding official in the trial of'Leon Stanford. upon a charge of murdering A.lene Draves, during a drinking party in Gary. Defense and prosecution agreed' upon Judge Crumpacker after doubt arose as to whether any of 1 the three judges named yesterday by Judge Grant Crumpacker. Porter Circuit court, uncle of Harry Crumpacker. would be qualified to hear the case. Joseph Castell ini Found Guilty Today t_ Cincinnati, 0., Mar. 27.—<U.R) — Joseph J. Castellini. former p esldent of the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks National Bank, was found guilty on one count of violating the national banking laws by a jury, in federal court today.
