CHARLEY COMISKEY
PAYS $4,000 FOR
l. CATCHER SCHALK

NEW YORK, July 29.-Ten thousand
dollars for a twenty-year-old catcher
who was just a green bush Lacquer a
year ago! Charles A. Comiskey, presi-
dent of the Chicago White Sox, has
paid this amount for Schalk, the SEN
sational catcher of the Milwaukee
American Association club. Last year
Schalk was a bench warmer a greater
part of the campaign, for the Mil
waukee club used him in less than
thirty games. But early this season
Schalk began to catch wonderful ball,
with the result that major league scouts
fiocked 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 a price the figures were SO high
negotiations ceased. The Milwaukee
club wanted $4,000 in cash,
Ted Sullivan, Comiskey's scout, who
tried vainly to secure Charley Sterrett,
turned his attention to Schalk early in
June. Ted Sullivan saw the youngster
catch game after game in brilliant
fashion and gradually became con-
to the White SoX Comiskey mean
while had opened negotiations with the
Jersey City club for Catcher Wells,
strongly recommended by another scout,
and was ready TO pay $4,000 for Wells,
when word was received from Sullivan
that JSchalk could be secured for $40 O0O
in cash and several players thrown in.
Comiskey, therefore, lost no time
accepting the Milwaukee clubs terms,
and the deal for Schalk was closed, a
check for $4,000 being turned over
without delay. The Jersey City club,
however, tried TO hold Comiskey on
the Wells proposition. 1t is said, and
made an informal appeal to the ma
tional commission for advice. But as
Comiskey had not agreed in writing
Hugh McBreen, part owner of the
| Skeeters, was notified that he had
no legal claim upon the owner of the
| White SoX and that Wells could be
] disposed of to any other club willing
to pay the price.

CRICKET TEAM Of
CAPITAL IS WINNER
FROM BALTIMORE

The Washington Cricket Club. which
defeated the Sons Of st. George eleven,
OF Baltimore, by 103 to So in the Monu-
mental City yesterday. is back to the
Capital with many exciting tales Of the
conflict. Until yesterday the Washing
ton team has been unable to, make
much of an impression on the Baltimore
cricketers, so when they started in to
win the Sunday match, the defeat
was spread on good and thick.
At the fall of the sixth wicket Wash
ington had scored but runs. Irving

we'd now be out there in front.
However, I'm satisfied to be right
where we are. Were close enough to

when they happen to slip and they are
carrying the burden Of leading the race
1t isn't the best thing in the world for
a young team like mine to be out in
front for long.
Il figure that the break is bound to
come to the Red Sox. Their pitchers
can't go on forever. Their batters can't
keep on clouting the ball all the time
Their slump is bound to overtake them
and 1t is likely to come just when we're
within five games of them. Then watch
us give them our backwash. II this
happens at the right time, We'll sail
into that pennant, believe me, and the
Red Sox will have to battle to keep

BALLOONS LONG C[ASSED

Vaniman Well Known in

Gen. Allen, chief signal officer Of the
army. said today that he had long ago
classed such machines as Vaniman's as
obsolete and dangerous. The army has
one very small dirigible. not used now.
Vaniman was recently in Washington,
where he was we'll known in aeronautic
circles. He proposed to carry through
the ocean-crossing experiment as he had
laid it out but did not look for much In
the way of practical results from it. He
was anxious to either get through with
the contract or to sell 1t to some other
experimental so he could devote himself
to another scheme that he had for estab-
fishing a dirigible passenger line in the
United States.
There are several of these lines now
running in Germany and Switzerland,
where they make some money when 1t is
not all absorbed by the .wrecking and
