Imitation Of Schultz
What Developed 5(halu

Walter Schaller, the Tigerette
outhelder, is one OF those rari-
ties In baseball-a successful
imitation OF veteran big'league
star.
Schaller's model Is Frank
Schultz OF the Cubs. Players
who know both have often
commented on the similarity
OF their work, both in the field
and at bat. One OF them men
toned IL TO Schaller the other
day. To his surprise, Schaller's
reply showed that the similar
ity was not the result OF acct
dent.
Schaller's home is In Chicago
and, according TO his story. he
used TO save his nlckels and his
dimes, and purchase daily
seat In the rightfield bleachers
at the National league park
there, sitting up as close to
Schultz as he could, There was
not a movement OF the Cub
slugger which Schaller did not
mentally chart down, and this
went for his actions at the bar
as we'll as In the field. The Tig
erette is close observer and
he didn't miss a thing What
he had seen one day ut the field
he worked out that evening in
practice and later on, In semi
professional ball in Chicago. AS
a result. Schaller has become
a perfect copy OF the Cub star.
The fact that they are built on
almost identical lines and both
show n pronouncedly Teutonic
cast OF countenance, helps the
similarity.
One OF Schultes traits that
Schaller has In a pronounced
degree is the way he goes back
after a fly ball, Another is IN
his throwing. A third is in his
position at bat. Those who are
able to trace the resemblance
still further see IL In the way
Schaller guesses pitchers de-
livery.
Schaller's debut in the big
league came with but one sea.
son OF minor league experience.
That this was possible is un-
questionably due to the lntelh-
gent manner in which he copied
the master hand who plays right
field for the Cubs.

Pursuing his mad career as dis

league race which seemed to have
settled down most satisfactorily from
y local point of view, Hal Chase an

ly inclined to believe, after the ex-
hibition of the past two afternoons at

spare beavers is equal to the task.
When informed of Mr.. Chase's de-
termination, Manager Jennings of the
Tigers, smiled grimly and said:
"Whee-ah!"
Beyond that remark, Mr.. Jennings
refused to be quoted. He did admit,
however, that the Tigers appeared TO
have struck a batting slump.
Gall Il slump or what you will, the
Tigers weren't hitting yesterday. For
the first time this year they didn't
have what one could honestly term

man past first base and only four OF
them got that far, Of whom but two
hit safely. To put II conservatively,
they actually appeared foolish before
the opposing pitcher.
