ALTROCK IS A FAVORITE

Charles Comlskey, owner of the Chicago White Sox ( has a high regard for Altrock. "lie's always a favorite here,” remarked Commy. “He did some great work for us. I remember that post-season tie we had with the Cubs many years ago—the one which was never settled. “The West siders thought we were through as regards pitchers for the fourteenth game. I went down to the bench and asked Roy Patterson how he felt. Before Roy could answer, Nick chimed in and asked if he couldn’t work. “I took lrtmxup on his proposition and let him go in. On the first ball pitched Jimmy Slagle cracked a terrific single to center. Then Altrock wound up and threw the ball over to first, catching Slagle asleep by several feet. “ ‘lt’s all off,’ I said to myself, as I stood behind the screen under the stand. ‘We’ll win now.’ And we did win. Yes, I’ve always liked Altrock and am glad whenever he comes to town.”
