Little Pilot Spreads Confidence Over City Ownie Is Pleased With Pitching Staff and Is Now Seeking Catching Help; Has Boost for Vic Frasier and Smead Jolly. BY BERT DEMBY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Jan. 27.—Baseball talk, and there's been plenty of it in Chicago since Joe McCarthy took over the managerial reigns of the Cubs, centered on Ownie Bush, the White Sox’ new pilot, today. Those fans who have been going out to the south side for years hoping their favorites might get somewhere in the American League pennant race, have a hunch that Bush is the man who is going to take Charles Comiskey’s hirelings and make a ball club out of them.

Purvis Gives Fans Sample of New Form It is rather unusual in local gymnasiums for a boxer to be ap- ' plauded during his workouts, but that is just what the crowd of railbirds did at Fountain Square Sunday aftemon as Jackie Purvis flashed through his final hard session for his fight w’ith Billy Petrolle at the armory Tuesday. The former Kokomo pug showed an improvement over his form of a year ago that amazed his friends, and the way he slugged it out with sparring partners was a revelation and gave ample support to the fine reports on Jackie that have come from Canada and the east. Petrolle will come to town late this afternoon, accompanied by Jack Hurley, his manager. They will come from Chicago, where Petrolle has been in hard training. Primo Meets Canadian Pug [>J/ Times Special CHICAGO, Jan. 27.—Primo Carnera, Italy’s giant who aspires to the heavyweight championship, began training here today for his second American match, a scheduled ten-round go with Elzear Rioux of Canada next Friday night.

And there’s justification for that optimism despite the fact, Bush will have practically the same material ■‘o work with this year that Ray Schalk and Lena Blackbiirne attempted to mould into a ball club. He’ll Be the Boss Ownie will be boss on the south side. He informed the world of that when he came to Chicago a few days ago to talk things over with the White Sox officials. Bush makes no bones about running the club he manages. Ownie has an idea the White Sox haven’t played within a mile of their potentialities. He thinks he has a pitching staff good enough for a first division team. And when one considers Lyons, Thomas, Faber, McKain and Henry the hurling corps stacks up with some of the best. Then there’s a young fellow, Vice Fraisier, whom Bush thinks will be the real article. Lyons and Thomas are as good as they come and Faber appears to have another season left in his aged arm. McKain looks like a real threat with added experience and if Frasier comes through Ownie will have no worry on that score. As for C. Arthur Shires, Ownie anticipates no trouble. Shires has announced that he will play his head off for his new boss and “show the fans how first basing should be done.” There’s only one outstanding weak gap to fill, in Bush’s estimation. Moe Berg, a former infielder, heads the Sox receiving staff. He is a fair receiver, but there are no good relief men. Thinks Well of Jolly Smead Jolly, the boy who has been burning them up on the Pacific Coast, is expected to bolster the Sox outfield. Jolly, Bush believes, “will hit well over .300 in our league.” Watwood, Reynolds and Hoffman from a fleet trio of gardeners. They are none too potent with the stick, but Bush has laid plans to remedy that. For his infield, Bush will have Shires and Clancy at first, Willie Kamm at third, Bill Cissel at short and Hunnefield at second. And he has some rookie talent that may deliver.
