SCHALLER "CANNED;;"
HEADED FOR FRISCO

Walter Schaller, utility outfelder OF
of the White Sox, was sold yesterday
to the San Francisco club of the Pa
cific Coast league. He will leave "a
Cnce to join Del Towards team. The
acquisition of Larry Chappell to the
Sox squad has made a surplus of out
iielders, and Howard has been trying
TO get one fer several weeks. AS soon
as waivers were obtained on Schaller,
Comiskey wired 20 Cal Ewing, presi-
dent of the Frisco club, and made the
sale.
Smaller was obtained for the waiver
price last spring from Detroit, and for
a short time was the regular left field
er for The Sex. He is a Chicago boy,
his home being on the south side. All
his friends predict he will be whale
of a batter on the coast. With Jack
Fourier making good as an outfielder,
and Ping Bodie and Walter Mattick
sitting on the bench, the Sox had little
use for Schaller
When the season is over Comiskey
is TO have his pick Of the Frisco play
ers, and if Schaller shows up opt there
better than Jimmy Johnston he is
/ liable TO be a member of the Sox
again.

NOTES OF THE GAME.

That Quincy team is playing some
article of ball, and it can be readily
understood why they are leading the
field. Kahl is playing some game
around the keystone and yesterday
pulled a beaner. Carrigan whanged a
hot grounder between Kahl and Col
win which was an honest to goodness
hit. Nick ran way out onto the lawn
and knocking the pill down with one
mitt heaved to first for the out.
Mike Neer pulled play which will
probably never be equaled in these
parts, that of grabbing a foul pop up
back of the catcher. The ball was
big Pete's and inasmuch as it did not
go up more than IL feet in the air,
it can be understood that Neer did
not pull an ordinary stunt Golvin
had just hit for two sacks and was
lingering on the keystone. Billings
grabbed the bunt signal Neer and
Bromwich were both playing well
along the line. The ball went up in
the air eight feet back of Peters, who
turned the wrong way and was LOOK
ing around trying to locate it. NeeI
had started to run in as soon as the
bail was pitched, and by a beautiful
run, speared the pellet. Mike made an
other sensational play by grabbing
Collins pop-up with one hand, after
a hard run.
The league leaders tried to pull tht
squeeze play in the sixth inning, bu
were outguessed by Roddy Hendrix
Myers was on third and Collins was VI
at bat. Myers got the sign and the
minute the ball left Roddy's paw, tore
for home. Mister Hendrix, however
had scented the plot, and pitched thu
ball so wide that Collins couldn't hav,
reached it with tent pole. Myers
was easy.

ME BENCH RAJAH:
NIX" SAYS EVERs

Philadelphia, Pa, July 23.-Manager
Evers yesterday denied the published
reports that he had benched Roger
Bresnahan for not catching according
to orders and for Indifferent work.
The Cub manager said he tried a
change of catchers in Boston to see il
it would break the run of defeats, just
as he had tried every other possible
change previously.
The Cubs were not winning with
Bresnahan catching, and they did win
every game but one in which Need
ham started until yesterday. Then
he used Bresnahan behind the bat in
the second game, but took him out
for left handed batter near the fin
ish.
The reported breach between Bres-
nahan and Evers is partly due to an
apparently concerted effort by the
other clubs to get Evers' goat. A ia
vorite greeting handed TO him on the
field is, We'll, Jchzny, what pitcher
has Bresnahan picked for you today:
This bon mot generally is credited
originally to Joe Tinker
There is a small coterie of Cubs,
chiefly veterans, who do not like to
be called down for misplays, who en-.

nahan. So far it is in the embryonic
stage, but it is not beyond the limits
OF possibility that they will succeed.

Washington, July 23.-Joe Boehling
has developed into young southpaw
wonder for the Senators.
Boehling was secured from a semi
pro club in Richmond, Va, two years
ago. Bill Peet, who scribes for the

left handler for Griffith and has been
sounding his praises ever since. He
seems to have right to much Joy at

The funny part about it all is Grit
fifth had been bemoaning the fact that
he didn't have a good southpaw on his
staff the early part of the season when
Boehiing was on the bench. But he's
changed his mind about that now.
Last season Griffith farmed him out
to Worcester in the New England
league. There he won fourteen games
and lost eight.

DEAR old PEORIA
Civil War of Sport Writers
Continues - Bernie
Smith at Bat.

They are having a decidedly warm
time down at Peoria. The sporting
editor of the Herald Transcript has
dubbed the Distillers Rockies" Ber-
ME Smith of the Star, objects siren
uously and has voiced his sentiments
in print. The Transcript man refuses
to heed the kindly admonitions and
suggestions emanating from con-
temporary. and hence the following
outburst from the columns of the Pc
oria Star:
DEFINITION OF ROCK.
Rock, n, A cheat; trickster or
swindler. One who practices the
"plucking of pigeons"
Rock, n, A simpleton; a gull; one
liable to be cheated
Rock, ", To cheat; to defraud by
cheating.
In addition to the above definitions
as given in the Century dictionary and
cyclopedia, we find that a rock is a
title sometimes given to a piece of
wood or ivory used in chess.
Rockies, n. The third team, the
buns of the squad; the bushers; the
dubs of the squad.
Callahan will play his regulars at
Venice today, send his yannigans to
Frisco and the rockies to San Diego"
THE Yankees made five errors be-

same plaintiYe wall he manages to
call the distillers a bunch of dubs
simpletons, cheaters, tricksters, rum
mics, ird raters, buns, etc, without
even giving one reason for so doing
He has persisted in his knocking OF
the club and openly declares that he
means to continue to do so. His boss

us the games of that day were the
