scHALK CAUSES A SENSATION
Former Milwaukee Baekstop Is Con-
sidered by Yankees Star as Best
In American League.

Although he has been wearing a
Chicago White Sox uniform but a
short time. Ray Schaik. the catcher
secured from the Milwaukee club for
$4,000, is a reigning sensation Ed
Sweeney, the Hillmens star backstop,
after seeing young Schalk work be-
hind the bat, remarked:
TITS saying lot. know, but
Schalk comes near being the best
catcher in the American league to-
day"
Schalk is twenty years old. He was
born in Harvel H., of German par
ents, but his home is in Litchheld.
He has been playing baseball for
about three years and began last sea
son with the Taylorsvile. ILL.,, club, In
the Illinois and Missouri league. In
July year ago scout In the employ
of the Milwaukee American associa-
ton club saw the young man catch
several games and then recommended
his purchase. The Milwaukee club
bought him for $1,000 and he caught
in about thirty games before the sea
son closed
When the 1912 campaign opened
Hugh Duffy, the Milwaukee manager,
decided to make Schalk his regular
catcher. The youngster quickly sur.
prised the critics with his wonderful
catching and throwing and as he inn
proved steadily the major league
scouts fiocked to Milwaukee to look
him over. Duffy put d price on the
boys release-$15, 000-but nobody
seemed willing to pay it, After catch
ing eighty games, however, Schalk
had proved his worth to such extent
that Comiskey offered $4,000 in cash
and two ball players, and Duffy closed
the deal
Schalk is 5 feet 10 inches tall and
weighs ITO pounds. He is light
haired, bright-eyed, modest fellow,
who doesn't seem to realize his i'm
portance.
Jimmy Callahan, manager OF the
White Sox. was so impressed with
Schalk after he had seen him play
few games that he benched his vet.

"Schalk cost a lot of money" said
Callahan, "but he's worth it. ! think
he will develop into the best back

AFTER "KING" CoBB'S CROWN
Joe jackson and iris Speaker Eager
to Gust Georgia Peach From
His Exalted Perch.

The opening Of the big league base
ball season inaugurated many inter
esting events, but none more likely to
be followed with keen attention than
the race for leading batting honors
between Ty Cobb of Detroit, Joe Jack
son of Cleveland and iris Speaker of
Boston.
Cobb has led the league in batting
for six years, and last season hung
up the awesome average of .410, which
is going some. Jackson, for two years
a close pursuer of Cobb, pasted the
pellet for 1876. while Iris Speaker,
main stroke in the Boston Red Sox
outfit, batted for 1888.
Speaker and Jackson both have
done great things SO far this season,
southpaws and right-handers all have
looked alike to these two so far aa
the hittability of their hurting offer.

The national conference, on the
other hand, would consist of an equal

THE work of the national confer

THERMOMETERS TO
MEASURE HEIGHT

We naturally think of the thermome-
ter's function as being restricted to
the measurement of heat, but this in
strument is also employed in the de-
termination of the height of noun
tains.
The reason for this employment is
to be sought in the pressure of the
atmosphere on the surface of water.
The greater that pressure is, the great
er the temperature needed to boil the
water. AS we ascend there is less and
less pressure, and water will boil at
a lower temperature than 100 degrees
Centigrade, or PIP degrees Fahren-
heit. For every one thousand feet Of
ascent water will boil at degree Cen
tigrade lower.
No ordinary thermometer, however,
may be employed in scientific work
of this kind. Extremely delicate in
struments must be used. They must
be quite lengthy, so that the scales
may De divided into fractions OF a de-
gree. The apparatus for work of this
sort is called a thermobarometer, or
hysometer. There is a small metallic
vessel for boiling water, and on the
inside of this vessel are placed these
delicate thermometers. The claim is
made that their accuracy is such that
the height of mountain may be de-
termined within ten feet. 1t would
seem, however, that this claim is not
entirely justified, since the pressure of
air does not decrease uniformly as the
ascent is made. Despite this fact, the
thermometer is valuable aid to the
surveyor.-Haiper's Weekly.

GOULD WEDDING ATTRACTS

Despite the desire of both parties
that the wedding should attract as lit.

sessed by Miss Gould, the prominence
into which she has been brought by
her many philanthropies, and the gen.
orally accepted belief that she prefer
red life of single blessedness-all
have helped to make her wedding a
topic of lively discussion among all
classes.
The party of invited guests who will
go from this city to Tarrytown by
special train to attend the wedding
will be small but distinguished one
1t will include several members of the
Gould family who are not already at
