It was a bad month for the Chicago White Sox as their treatment room continued to fill. They lost Short Stop Jack Rowe early in the month due to a sprained thumb. He will be out for between 4 and 5 weeks. Worse news followed mid month as they lost Pitcher Pete Conway for the season as he picked up shoulder inflammation. He will need 3 months to recover. The team also lost First Baseman Sid Farrar for the season after he bruised a kneecap. He will be gone for between 2 and 3 months.
