JIMMY DYKES IS TRYING TO REBUILD TEAM Chicago White Sox Face Tough Task To (Jet Out Os Cellar Post (Editor’s note: This is the third of u series on the major league I.useball chibs in spring training;. By George Kirksey, (UP. Staff Correspondent) Pasadeina. Calif.. Mar. 20. (U.R) -The Chicago White Sox are still rebuilding. They’ve been doing that now for 15 years, ever since Charles Comiskey, "the Old Roman’’, wrecked the club after the "black Sox" scandal in 1919. The White Sox finished in the cellar last season, so it may lie safely said that exactly no progreos has (be n made over that long span of years. The task of trying to make a winner out of the White Sox ended the major league managerial careers of such capable; leaders as Eddie Collins. Hay Schalk. Lena Blackburne. Donis 1 Bush, and Lew Fonseca. Jimmy Dykes suceeded Fonseca as manager early last season. Dykes is a good man for the job. He’s one of the most popular men in baseball. He’s one of the hardest hustlers in the game. Highly important, too, is the fact that he has a keen sense of humor. Dykes played with the Athletics i when that team was in the cellarl and sticking with it until the world’s championship was annex ■ ed. If Dykes could do that as. manager of the White Sox. he : would justly deserve the title of i baseballs "miracle man of all time.’’ ”1 expect we’ll be slightly improved this season,” said Dykes. ’W“ couldn't be any worse than last year. I have no idea where we'll finish.” Sizing up the White Sox lineup, we find: Infield: Same as last year with Bonura at first. Hayes at second. Appling at short, and Dykes at third. Marty Hopkins, one of the best fielders in the game but weak at bat. probably will get in a lot of games at third, and Glenn Wright. I brought from Kansas City, will sub for Hayes and Bonura. Wright still can hit but his arm isn't strong enough for steady work. Outfield: Rip Radcliff who hit

IPERRY LIKELY WILL TURN PRO England Tennis Star. World’s Best, Expected To Join Pros it New York, Mur. 20.

chances in international compete, tion. and himself, by culling from ; the forces of Australia some of her; stars to round out his matches for I the April tonr. “I might n ed one or two more players after Perry.” O’Brien said, “and I will be prepared to go after Vivian McGrath or Jack Crawford of the Austrialian team.’’ A tour with Perry would gross a minimum of $150,000. O'Brien figures. and of this he is prepared to • give the Britisher $30,000 with a i cut on the net above a certain • amount.

OXFORD PLANS HEAVY CREW FOR BOAT RACE Even Boat To Be Larger Than In Previous Years London — (UP) — Oxford will have the heaviest crew und the 1 largest boat in boat-rate history when they met Cambridge April 6.
