Now comes the remarkable part of

was the first of the family to hit left

With a right-handed pitcher they hit
left-handed, and the reverse with
southpaw on the mound. There are
several major league players who do
this, including Bescher, Carey. Hug

players are handicapped when they

no difference from which side of the
plate they bat.

When Bob Schang, older brother OF
Wally. was purchased by the Pitts
burgh club from the St. Joseph, Mo-,
Western League team. fandom was OF
the opinion that Bob would follow the
way of brothers of other famous play
ers. Although il is the ambition OF
every brother of a major league base
hall nlaver TO follow the footsteps OF
the other. for some reason or other,
the brothers usually fail. Lightning,
however. in this case. seems to nave
struck twice in the same place. since
Bob Schang is now considered nrst
catcher of the Pirates. The remarkable
part of the career of the Schang boys
is that Wally is, in reality. an imitator
of his older brother, but managed TO
surpass Bob by a sudden burst into
the limelight through the worlds SER
les of 1913.
Robert Schang was the first of the
Schang family to play ball. lie IS 20
years of age; Wally is p, while two
stars at home are 20 and is. Until the
spring of 1912 Wally always acted as
substitute catcher on the Wales. y. Y.
team. with his brother Bob as the star
backstop. Il just happened that the
team was playing in Buffalo one after
noon. and George Stallings, now man
ager of the Braves. then managing
Buffalo, went out TO look Bob over. The
Lafayette Professionals, who were tho
opponents of Wales, proved easy, and
Bob retired from the game early and
permitted Wally to come in from tn,
outfield TO finish the game.
One look was all Stallings needed
He took Wally instead of Bob. Tw,
months on the bench under Fred Nit
chell and Stallings, two experience,
catchers, found Wally ready for regu
lar duty, and his work was revela

drafts for Wally, while the Phillie

TRAP and
FIELD
SOME DON'TS FOR
THE TRAPSHO0TERS.

SOME DON'TS FOR
THE TRAPSHO0TERS.
Trapshooting is sport that de-
mands an alert mind and keen judg-
ment. The shooters degree of skill
depends entirely upon his own ability
20 think and act quickly. No one
else can do IL for him. There are,
however, a few simple facts in the
shape of don't" that may be kept
in mind by the novice.
Don't worry II when you call "pull'
the target breaks as il leaves the
trap. Take things calmly. Tell the
puller to pull another and let him
keep on doing It until a good one Is
thrown, or wait until the trap Is
fixed.
Don't worry because the referee de-
cides you missed target when you
land perhaps some OF your friends
also) thought that you had broken IL.
No referee is infallible. His deci-
sion, however. goes. so accept his
ruling in a sportsmanlike manner.
Don't worry IL the puller pulls the
trap too fast or too slow. Don't
shoot at the target but drop your
gun from your shoulder and then get
ready TO call pull" once more. The
referee watches the game very close
| IT, He knows whether the target
went an appreciable length Of time
before or after you called, and he
also knows that the rules provide for
trap TO be pulled promptly. Very Of
ten, however. Il is the shooters own
fault when the puller balks him in
this way.
In giving the word OF command e
the puller TO pull the trap, avoid three
mistakes;
Don't call in low hesitating voice
otherwise you run the risk OF the
puller not hearing you; or II he does
hear you the pull is apt TO be some
what slow. Call in a sharp, cleal
voice: the puller is watching you
and is keyed up 10 pull immediatel,
he gets the word. so that If you cal
in the manner suggested you In
sort Of way startle him and he In
stinctively pulls promptly.

WATR0uS EXPONENT
SOUND PRINCIPLES
OF CITY BUILDING
SECRETARY AMERICAN CIVIC AS
ISOLATION LECTURES ToMoR-
ROW NIGHT AT NEW DAYToNA
THEATER.
The lecture Friday evening at the
New Daytona theater by Richard b.
Watrous on "The Town of Today:
the City of Tomorrow" is under the
auspices of the civic department OF
the Palmetto club. The ladies believe
that both lecturer and lecture will
have Il wide appeal here-an appeal
to everyone, in fact, who loves this
Floridian collection of towns and vii
lagos on the Halifax and by the sea.
Loving town nowadays means
wanting to make it a still better place
for human habitation. Daytona's citi-
zens announce it and believe it to be
the "prettiest resort in the world" and
even those of more doubtful enthusI-
asm know that. II it isn't that already,
ii can be made so. For long time
the old plans of Matthias Day sufiiced,
and Daytona Just growed." But now,
on every side 1t is bursting forth into
new parks. allotments and garden set
Elements, and along the river front it
has flung the long glittering line of
lights Of it's Esplanade Burgoyne. 1t
shows a tendency not to lust grow"
but to grow with intelligence, with
forethought, and with loving care.
Mr. WatrOus, who is the secretary of
the American Civic association, does
not come with any definite plan for
Daytona's future. He comes, however,
with the knowledge, acquired both in
America and Europe, of what other
towns have done to make themselves
more beautiful and more habitable;
more attractive to the tourist and to
the real estate investor, too. He is
qualified to speak, too, of the under
lying principles, scientific as well as
aesthetic, upon which all successful
city building must be based. lie
brings, in short, exactly the kind of
information which every inhabtant of
Daytona-indeed, every friend of Day
tona-wants, so that he can apply it
to both public and private projects for
the future of the city.
Citizenship is no longer mere
privilege. but responsibility. We are
deciding today where and how future
generations of Daytona will live,
where they will drive, walk and fly,
and where green trees, flowers, and
beautiful buildings shall greet their
eyes. We are deciding, too, from an
other angle: whether or not the
boom" of prosperity and growth
which the town now enjoys is to be a
permanent one, founded upon the best
possible city for the money that it's
citizens can offer. upon sound bust
ness basis. And help and advice such
as Mr.. Watrous brings cannot fail to
be welcome.
