blouse he doesn't hesitate to mention
the fact
II is unusual to find player who
can get SO worked up over exhibition
games. Most of the athletes regard the
preseason tilts purely in the matter OF
practice. They make plays as well as
they can. but the result of the battle,
so far as the score expresses it, does
not worry them a bit Decisions that
would provoke riot during the cham
pionship season are passed with a
laugh or maybe half-hearted word of
protest as a general thing in the South.

a whole lot about the finer points of
signaling" pitchers until he said fare
well to the big minor circuit. Back in
the \. A., according to Ray, the catch
ers-at least those with Milwaukee
employed but two sets of signs. The
ancieEt and honorable method of tip
ping one or two fingers for the curve or
fast ball continues TO flourish among
the Brewers. Phen, too. they made use
of the sign behind the mask.
For instance, when Schalkie opened
his mouth and displayed his gold teeth
he indicated ne wished TO try the batter
on a curve ball. II he shut his mouth
when flashing the wireless il meant he
wanted fast ball. Since he biossomei
out as a White Sock Ray has mastered
no fewer than seven sets of signs.

Los ANGELES, March 2s-When the
big league scouts are passing judgment
no chance is too great for the 'busher.
This much is gathered from a CONVEX
sation with Ray Schalk, the $4,000 back
stop secured last season from Milwau-
kee by the Chicago White Sox. Not that
Schalkie was on dress parade the after
noon six representatives of the major
league clubs were present in the Cream
City to look him over" but on that
particular occasion the young receiver
went great guns throwing out seven
would-be base-stealers.
The. eighth to flirt with his deadly
right arm, First Baseman Derrick, of
the Toledo team, now covering the same
berth for Portland, was lucky enough to
that was his best performance in this
particular line of catching.
. scouts from near and far were trail
ing Schalk during the midst of the
president ComiSkey's agents We're work
ing themselves overtime to land the
spriShtly youth who was rated the most
promising maskman within the confines
OF the minor circles.
Two Scouts Present.
Two men in particular. Robert Lee
and Billy Murrag, gumshoc man for the
Pittsburgh Pirates. were seated in the
Milwaukee park on the afternoon in
question. Marion and Dougherty were
pitching for the Brewers and were hay
ing their troubles disposing of the To-
ledo Mudhens. The Rabbit. can't recall
the names of all the opposing base
runners he turned back. He does know.
however, that he twice singled out
Chapman. now with the ClcvcIand
Maps, and also winged Bronkie, Der
rick, and Burns.
To Schalks way Of thinking Chap
man was the most dangerous base run
ner in the American Association last
year. This young infcldcr has ire
mendous speed and is wise old owl
on the base lines. Otis Clymer. now
a candidate for outfield duty with the
Cubs. was another piece of bad news
for Ray. once he reached the initial
