AFTER WATCHING the White Sox go through the spring training paces for more than two weeks, Harry McNamara of the Chicago Herald-American declares that “at long last” he has discovered a big league club that does rot have a rookie ih camp worth writing home about. It's true the unusual situation saves telegraph tolls but on the other hand it cramps a writer no end to prowl around a training camp and find nothing on hand promising enough to inspire a feature yarn for his reading public. But permit McNamara to unwind his grief in detail: “Every vear, almost every major league club comes up with one, or more, sensational rookies, who are good enough to crowd veterans during the spring training schedule ‘Some of them fade like morning glories when they are exposed ta the heat of July competition in the big show, but others retain their luster, nudge established regulars out of the lineup and, svéntually, become big league stars. It is obvious, with almost three weeks of spring training behind them, that the Chicago White Sox do not have a rookie—sticking to the pure sense of the word—in eamp this spring, who can be classified as a phenomenal freshman “As a matter of fact, the seven plavers in camp. who are being tested by the White So for the first time, are a motley crew, perhaps the worst assortment of rookie ball players which has ever assembled at a Pale Hose training base
It is extremely doubtful that more than one of them will get free steaks, lodeing and transportation from a major league club again One May Possess Future Possibilities CALLING THE ROLL of the White Sox freshies: Outfielders Dave Short and Thurman Tucker. Infielders Warren Lorenz and Chester Hadjuk and Pitchers Clvde Umstead, Walter Navie and
Warren Martin make up the group None of them will be retained, unless Manager Jimmy Dvkes, who plans to carry five outfielders this season. is obliged to keep Short, or Tucker, temporarily in self-defense of his platform. Martin, the 18-year-old baby of the squad, is the exception. He is the only plaver in Professor Dykes’ freshman class, who indicates
that he may possess the possibilities of development. = = n = = = Martin, a right-handed pitcher, isn't ready for major league
competition. He has a corking fast ball and fair control. but he has had only one vear of professional experience. He pitched for Johnny Mostil’s Jonesboro, Ark, Class D club last season, winning 12 and losing 10. The youngster will be sent to the minors for more experience in a vear or two, he may bounce back to become a star.
Seasoned Players May Help Situation.
THE FAILURE of the greenies to measure up to expectations doesn’t necessarily mean that the White Sox will not be a factor in he American League pennant scramble The addition of seasoned plavers like Infielder Bill Knickerand Dario Lodigiani and Pitchers Johnny Humphries and Joe Haynes in winter trades, provides the stimulus for this optimism Also Dykes is convinced that Pitchers Orval Grove and Jack lett and Infielder Don Kolloway, who were tested to some extent last season, will give his club additional and badly needed reserve trength.”
