The contests. while resulting in de-
feats for the local team. were some
thing of an improvement over their
performances in the past few days,
and with little strengthening the
club should be able to go up against
any in the league without the least
fear of a possible defeat. From the
present outlook there seems to be a
dearth of good hitters and as these are
quite essential in pulling down games
the management should scout about
just little in search of Ia few slug
gers. 1t has been promised over and
over again that Paris would have a
good team to battle for the pennant,
and the hooks are said to be out for
several. but to this time none have

they will arrive is another matter.
However it is hoped by the Paris fans
that the management will succeed be-
fore long in getting together an ag-
gregation that can at least interest the
other clubs and put up exhibitions
that will entertain the fans whether
they win or not.

KILLERSBURG ITEMS.

Cadets of the M. NJ l. put on the
fhree-act drama, 1.-The POSTMASTER,
to a large audience, Monday night.
The play was not only good, but
abounded in wit and humOr, and was
one of those pieces that was easily
handled. The cast was well made up
and every participant seemed to be
especially adapted to the part as
signed them. 1t was thoroughly nat
ural. being a school drama made up
of freshmen and sophomore contend
ing for the right of supremacy at the
banquet board of large college. In
this particular case the characters
seemed to be equally strong, no es-
pecial heroes or heroines. However,
cadets Miller, Blackburn, Harris and
Hennesy, with Misses Smith and Nc
Clintock, carried off the honors OF
the evening. An impromptu recep-
ton was held for short while at the
close of the entertainment on the We
randa and campus.
Tuesday at 10 80 a. m. common &C.
ment exercises took place'at the drill
hall andI the eight members of the
class of 1912 were greeted with an
other large audience. The baccalau-
reate address was delivered by Prof.
r. G. Scott, of the Eastern Kentucky
State Normal at Richmond. He took
as the basis of his subject the building
of the column in Solomon s
temple and while he adhered strictly
to his subject his little digressions
from time to time, with his humorous
stories, impressed the fundamentals of
bis thought more firmly on his
hearers. At the close of the address
Col. C. M. Best in a brief address
introduced the class of 1912 to the
audience and presented their diplomas.
This was followd by the reading of the
honor roll. Cadet Huffman. of Millers-
burg. received the highest .honors,
which entities him TO the medal. The
officers for the coming year were then
read, and at IL: 30 the M. M. |. took

$4,000 FOR SCHA[K
Comiskey Pays That Amount
for Milwaukee Catcher.
Is ONLY 20 YEARS OLD
At Least Five Major League Clubs
We're Advised to Buy
Him.

NEW YORK. July 3o-Ten thousand
dollars for twenty-year- catcher who
was just a green bush Lacquer year
ago, Charles A. Comiskey, president of
the Chicago White SoX, has paid this
amount for Schalk, the sensational
catcher of the Milwaukee American Asso-
ciat ton club. Last year Schalk was a
bench warmer a greater part of the cam
paign, for the Milwaukee club used him
in less than thirty games. But early this
season SchaIk began to catch wonderful
ball, with the result that major league
scouts hocked to Milwaukee to look him
over. At least five major league clubs
were advised to buy the young catcher,
but when the Milwaukee club was asked
to set price the figures We're so high
negotiations ceased. The Milwaukee club
wanted $4,000 in cash.
Ted Sullivan, Comiskey's scout, who
tried vainly to secure Charley Sterrett OF
Princeton, now with the Highlanders,
turned his attention to Schalk early IN
June. Ted Sullivan saw the youngster
catch game after game in brilliant fash
ion and gradually became convinced that
he would add great strength to the White
SoX. ComiSkey meanwhile had opened
negotiations with the Jersey City club fol
Catcher Wells, strongly recommended by
$1,000 for Wells when word was received
from Sullivan that Schalk could be Sc
cured for $1O,OU in cash and severa
players thrown in.
Comiskey. therefore. lost no time accept
ing the Milwaukee, clubs terms, and the
deal for Schalk was closed, check for
$4,000 being turned over without delay
The Jersey City club. however. tried to
hold Comiskey on the Wells proposition.
it is said. and made an informal appeal
to the national commission for advice
But as ComiSkey had not agreed in writ
ing or verbally to pay 5000 for Wells
Hugh McBrecn.. part owner of the
lSkeeters, was notified that he had no legal
claim upon the owner of the White Sox
and that Wells could he disposed of to
any other CLUB willing to pay the price.
Schalk is the highest priced catcher
ever taken from a minor league In fact.
$4,000 never has been paid for the re-
lease of a backstop since Chicago sold
Mike Kelly to Boston many years ago.
The St Paul club of the American Asso-
citation received S22..,0O from the Pitts
burgh club last year for Pitcher O'Toole.
whose catcher. Kelly, was part and parcel
of the deal. Speaking of Schalk yester-
day. Hank ODay Of the Cincinnati Reds
said:
He is far and away the best young
catcher in the west. but SlJ.oW was toe
much for his services" O'Day was sur
prised to learn that Comiskey had landed
the prize for less money.

CHASE'S DIVORCE SUIT.
Ball Player and Wife May Settle
Trouble Out of Court.

NEW YORK. jelly 30.-Attorneys for
Hal Chase. the ball player. and for his
wife. in the formers divorce suit, ap-
peared in the supreme court before Jus
tice Lehman yesterday and announced
that they desired TO withdraw two mo-
tons, one for aiimony at 500 a month
and the other asking that certain alte-
cations in the complaint by Chase be
stricken out.
This would indicate that the case has
been settled and that the divorce suit
will never come to trial.
Chase started his suit May 21. when
ne filed the original complaint and added
the request that he be awarded the Gus
tody of his two-year-old son. Harold.
Chase involved a man named Robinson In
his complaint.
In her petition for alimony and counsel
fees Mrs Chase alleged that her husband
was in receipt of a salary of 5000 a
year from ball playing alone She did
not know how much more his income
was, abe said.
Chase filed an affidavit IN which he said
his wife had kept him poor because OF
her extrava&ances. He said also that he
could not afford the S3cs month all
mony. because his salary would probably
be reduced to $3.50 next year. He Of
fered to furnish SIS week.
Chase declared that his wife was Of q
jealous and unreasoning disposition. He
said that his wife abused him because OF
the fact that he haa received letters from
women who looked upon him as a hero.
All ball players. Chase said, received the
same kind OF letters.
