letes around the eastern circle. His

DOWNFALL
Following is the opinion of an OBJ
server in Boston, after watching
Schalk in the series between the
worlds champions and the White Sox
recently:
81 have seen all the catchers in the
American league this season and
think Schalk is head and shoulders
above the whole lot. In getting down
in front of the plate for hunted balls
and whipping the sphere to first I
have never seen his equal. His throw
ing is accurate, his receiving a delight
to see and his batting surprising. He
seems as quick as cat in tagging
runners out at the home plate and
also seems absolutely fearless"
These two opinions of Schalk, ex-
pressed by critics outside Chicago,
show how highly this young catcher
is rated even by those who give
Schang the shade in comparison
of, the work of those two young stars.
Chicago fans have had little opportu.
nifty to judge of the relative merits of
these young catchers. They are
strong for Schalk and chances are few
White Sox fans could be found who
would give any other catcher in the
world the edge over the former Mil
waukee phenom purchased by Presi.
dent Comiskey last fall for the rec.
ord price of the season paid for a
minor league player.
