a "cH ZAP" RACE 10
GOLDEN ONE

National league dopesters are
worried because the National league
race IL going to be "cheaply" won
this year. By that they mean that
the club that taken the. pennant will
probably have an average OF less
than 600. Unless the Phillies play
ut .667 gait the rest Of the season.
they will be unable to equal the low
est mark that ever took q National
league nag. even II they should cop.
ana % the Phillies lead the league.
one can see what q predicament the
circuit IL In.
That 10. II cheap" pennant is a
disgrace. As q matter of fact, that
no National league club can wiz
much more than half its games is
providing the circuit with a golden
harvest. The ball playing may not
be 40 good as in years past, but
there 10 . wonderful scrap on. and
the lower the average OF the winner
al the end OF the season the better
year both the magnates and fans
will have had.

Walie Schang Used to Be Hailed Star Backstop of
League But Now It's Schalk Who Can Do All Things We'll
Buck Ewing's Equal,
Is Tribute of Chas.
COmiskey

Ray Schalk. Comiskey's catching
marvel. has won q triumph seldom
achieved by a ball player Of his di.
minutive size and tender years.
One year ago this young bsckstop
Was singled out among several a. q
candidate for the highest honors in
bis department. Today by . large
majority Of the critics and by most
OF the fans he is set down as the
worlds greatest catcher.
Everywhere the Sox travel this
season new admirers OF Schalk
spring up to Join the ever increas-
ing circle who place this young
catcher in q class by himself. The
one convincing thing about Schalk
that stamps him as the king OF
present day backstops 10 that he can
do more things we'll than any other
catcher In the big leagues.
Whenever the Sox travel In cities
where the National and American
league teams play. baseball writer's
are found continually reiterating
that Schalk excels any other back
stop in the big circuits.
Recently Schalk ran to third base
10 make play there when that
position was open. Il have seen
Schalk do about everything on q ball
field now except back up second
base" said a baseball writer recent
ly. "and expect to watch him turn
that trick before long"
The National league undoubtedly
has more good catchers than the
American. II counts among its star
backstops such men as Archer, Bres-
nahan. wingo. Gowdy. Meyers KILL
fer and Doom. The younger major
circuit probably cannot enumerate
such bright galaxy OF stars but II
has the honor beyond doubt Of
owning the greatest catcher In the
game in the person Of schalk.
President Comiskey Of the Sox
thinks Schalk 10 another edition OF
Buck Ewing. which is putting II as
strong as II could be. Before the adj
vent OF Schalk the Old Roman
thought Ewing was the greatest
catcher the world had ever seer.
Now he Is wavering The Sox mag
nate Is rot sure but that this young
wizard is the greatest in his
line of all time.

Hackle TOuted
As Best TwO-Year-
Old of the Year

NEW YORK. July 2s.-The Sara
toga Racing association directors
will give away more money this
year to horse owners than they
have since 1908. The added money
IL very liberal. and the value of the
stakes and the overnight events
will aggregate In round numbers
5000, O00--a sum far in excess Of
the money offered during the spring
and summer meetings at the Long
Island tracks.
Racing at Saratoga has always
rounded up the best thoroughbreds
of the east. west and Canada. This
year will prove no exception. All
the best race horses. both In the
two and three-year-old divisions and
in the handicap brigade, have been
nominated for the stakes. Many Of
these champions are already at
Horse Haven, the training ground
Just outside OF the track proper.
and are being prepared for the
meeting, which opens Aug. ..

White Hackle IL Q symmetrically

He has won all Of his starts with
the exception OF his first, when he
was beaten a nose by Grasp. In that
race he closed up six lengths on
Grasp in the last half furlons and
had little Brady been capable OF
handling him he would have won by
open daylight.
White Hackle Is eligible to start
in four races at Saratoga--the San.
