BITS OF BASEBALL

The recent feat Of Dare Devil Dave"
Altizer of making a double play for
Minneapolis of the American Associa-
ton calls to mind that Dave was a
star when he was in the big league.
With Minneapolis last year he batted
for .2s4 in 1872 games.
Joe Kelley. manager of the Toronto
team OF the International League, Is
getting fine young ball-player in Joe
Schultz, recently with the Braves.
Schultz is fine hitter. a fast, clever
fielder, and lacking only experience to
be major league caliber.
The first no-his no-run game in the
American Association this season was
pitched against Louisville by Ralph CUT
ting, Of the Milwaukee team.
In st. Louis they are picking the De-
troits to finish in the eighth niche, but
there are parts of spring and autumn
and whole summer for the Browns to
get there.
Gus Williams, the st. Louis Browns
husky outfelder, has developed into
big hitter. He showed a certain amount
OF skill last fall. when he made his debut,
but has exceeded Manager Stovalfs ex-
pectatiops this spring. Stovall says that
Williams will hit well above the 800 mark.
Pitcher Painter, who had a tryout
with the Chicago Nationals this spring,
has signed contract to play with the
Montreal club of the International
League.
Schalk, who played sensational ball
when he reported to the White Sox
late last season, isn't a fash in the
pan. judging by his heavy whaling this
season. Callahan says he wants to use
Schalk In every game during the sea-
son. He Is the idol Of Chicago fans.

that all the reports referred TO were OH
