Be Filled.

By JACK GUENTHER Unitea press staft Correspondent

PASADENA, -Cal., March 23.—For

three seasons Jimmy Dykes has been

working to pull the Chicago White

Sox to the top of the American League, but this year he admits he will be content to break into the first division. The Sox are farther advanced in spring training than at any similar date in several years but the belligerent manager says frankly there is many a hole to be filled before his team can cope with New York, Cleveland, Detroit or Boston. Last season Chicago literally was riddled with injuries. Some of the men, like Clint Brown and Luke Appling, are sound again. Others are not. The strongest pitcher, Monte Stratton, lost a leg when blood poisoning followed a gunshot wound. Minter Hayes, regular second baseman, is ailing after a knee operation. There are four candidates for the catching spot, but the position is open as wide as a barn oor.

Post for Steinbacher

Only the outfield is settled. Hank Steinbacher, the team’s hardest hitter last season, will break into the regular lineup at right, squeezing out Gerald Walker. Rip Radcliff goes in at left and Mike Kreevich at center. Walker, Rupe Thompson and John Rosenthal will travel along as utility men.

At present the infield is composed of Joe Kuhel at first, Eric McNair frcm Boston, at second; Luke Appling at short and Marvin Owen at third. Hayes will replace McNair if his knee becomes sound again. Al Bejma, who hit .326 for St. Paul, may break in. The other relief man is Merv Connors, brought in last year from Shreveport. The four catchers are George Rensa, Norman Schlueter and Mike Tresh, who were with the team last year, and Kenneth Sylvestri of St. Paul, who may get the starting call. Luke Sewell was sold to Brooklyn and his place must be filled. Sylvestri bats both right and left handed, and to date has handled his backstopping duties capably. The pitching outlook is a headache. With Stratton gone, Dykes has no starter who won more than the 13 games captured by Thornton Lee last year. John Whitehead, Ted Lyons and John Rigney, who Dykes looks to for a fine year, will carry the heavy load. Brown and Bill Dietrich, both troubled with wrist injuries, will be back in relief roles.

Refuses to Predict

The Sox are giving second trials to Vic Frasier and Art Herring, veterans who had fine 1938 records at St. Paul. Rookies who may make the squad this year are Thomas Fleming, George Gick of Lubbock, and Jess Dobernic, farmed to St.

Paul, then to. Anniston last season.

The other man is John Knott, a veteran who came from St. Louis last year. If Rigney and Whitehead pitch up to their promise, and either Frasier or Herring come through, Dykes believes most of his mound problem will be solved. {Practically everything that could happen to a team happened to us last year,” he says. “We should be better unless injuries strike us

again. Frankly, we will - have toSchs

piay good ball to best the Yanks, Cleveland, Boston and Detroit. I'm not predicting anything.”

4 Ohio Golfers Enter French Lick Tourney

FRENCH LICK, March 23 (U. P.). —Prospects for keen competition in the Thomas D. Taggart Trophy Midwest Amateur play scheduled for March 31 to April 2 took a turn for better today with the entry of four ranking Ohio golfers. Heading the list of Ohio entries was Maurice J. McCarthy, Cincinnati, outstanding “scratch” player.

. Others were F. J. O'Donnell, W. C.

Reese and George Anderson, all of Dayton. ’

: Patty Berg Cops

Another Title

SOUTHERN PINES, N. C., March Estelle Lawson Page, former national golf champion, probably is the only woman in the world today who can tell how it feels to cleave 19 strokes off par over 54 holes and then lose a title

. by seven strokes.

That is the story of Patty Berg's

triumph yesterday over the Chapel

Hill, N. C., matron in the annual women’s Mid-South championship. Mrs. Page, relieved of her national crown last year py Miss Berg, post‘ed a three-round card of 77-77-76 ‘=230, compared with par 83-83-83 —249, only to finish a poor second Patty’s 75-73-75—223. ;

Printers to Drill

~ The Union Printers baseball team will practice Sunday, weather permitting, at Riverside diamond No. 6. All last year’s players and those seeking tryouts are asked to meet at the clubrooms at 1 p. m. or at

the park at 1:30.

Newman was at first, Brown was at short, Lang at third and Sorensen at second. Making up another infield squad were Stein at third, Vaughn at short, Wheeler at second and Latshaw at first.

CLEVELAND. March 23 (U. P.).— Hermann Undertakers of St. Louis, Mo., national match champions who dethroned Hank Marino’s Milwaukee Heil Quality Products after a four-year reign, made their bid for world’s title honors over the threegame route in the American Bowling Congress championships today.

Echoes of the 300-game performance yesterday by 53-year-old William McGeorge of Kent, O., will linger long in the current A. B.C. arena and longer in the records.

He added games of 173-166 to reach the day’s high three-game series of 639. It was the sixth perfect game in A.B.C’s. 39-year history: :
