for tina Northwestern league in 1910.
1911 and part Of 1912 He was sold
to the Vancouver club Of the same
league in midseason In 1912, and
since then he has been that team s
main pitching stay. One of the first
feats Schmutz performed last season
was to shut out Joe McGinnity's Ia
coma team. seven to nothing, with
the Iron Man himself in the box for
Tacoma.
Schmptz's entire 1918 record Is not
available. but in his first twenty
games he was the victor in thirteen.
Up till July he had been in no game
where the opposing team scored more
than four runs on him. OF the first
twenty games Schmutz allowed four
runs in three, three runs in four, two
runs in four, one run in six. and no
runs in three. The Brooklyn club
coughed UP $500 for Schmutz. and
President Ebbets says that from the
reports sent him by Amos Rusie and
Tommy Sheehan, Chas. Otto Schmutz
