No less than eight of the Tigers are con- fined to the hospital att Lake Penn broke. suffering from injuries receiv- ed during the last week. They have just concluded one weeks training in preparation for the big game with the Majors from police headquarters at Pleasure Beach on Saturday. August 26.

Rogers. Fitzroy and Higgins are all complaining of neuralgia and substitutes George Fitzgerald, Tim Shea and Muzz Me- Govern, have been filling the posi- tions of the former for the last day or two.
 The latest startling announcement from the Major camp was to the eff feet that Yellow White, premier twirler of the local police department and who will twirl against the Tigers in the big game. has been given leave to cease training for the big event. Manager O'Neil and Chief Trainer Ed die Bolger have both reported Pitcher White as being in excellent condition and they agree that any further train ing on the part of the Walter John son of the police department may cause him to go stale on the eve of the battle.
 Good news has finally reached the training camp of the Tigers. It was brought by Martin Gottschalk and Aleck Hatch last evening when they reported. their successfully conducted canvas of the city, in the interest or the Police Sick Benefit association under whose auspices the grand field day and state meet will be held at Pleasure Beach, August 26. They reported that 10000 tickets had been disposed of for the big event and in their opinion fully 10000 more will be disposed of before the big day.
 Word was forwarded Manager O'Leary by John J. Banson. chairman of the National Association of Police Baseball Leagues, that Policeman John F. McGovern, of the second pre- cinct has been officially appointed chief rooter for the Tigers" Manager O'Neil of the Majors was also official ly notified of, the appointment of Po- liceman Ed Bolger in like position with the Majors.

''The Best Catcher
 In the Game"

>oThe best catcher in the game" is a designation often applied to Ray Schalk, the able young backstop oi the White Sox, and while all such hon. orary titles are open to question, 1t is certain that Schalk's name stands somewhere in close proximity to the ton of the list of great maskmen. He has won his .pre-eminence in a very brief time, as it was just four years ago this month t. at he joined the Comiskey brigade.
 Raymond W. Schalk is his society name, and he was born. just twenty four years ago today, ugust 12. 1892, in the grand old state of Illinois. His rise in baseball circles was of the sky rocket variety It was in 1905 that he broke into the professional ranks with the Taylorville, Ill.,, club of the Illinois Missouri league, a little six city circuit in central Illinois. AL though Taylorville was a hopeless tailender in the league that season, young Schalk was easily the star backstop of the circuit. He caught a great game; and had batting aver age very close to the 400 mark Such doings on the part of a young novice naturally attracted attention in the higher circles of baseball, and on the twelfth day of August. 1911, his nine teenth birthday, Ray was sold to Mill waukee, the Taylorville club being bout $75O richer by the deal. ,.
 Schalk spent just about a. year in the livery of the Brewers. Reporting in August. 1911. he remained with until August. 1912, when he was sold to the Chicago Ameri- cans. Comiskey gave four players and a lump of coin for the young catching marvel. making Schalk's cost about $17,000. That was quite a neat little sum to pay for minor leaguer whose experience covered little more than a year, but subse quent events have demonstrated that Callahan knew what he was about when he expressed a strong for Schalk,s society.
 Ray became regular right from

He is not only a great catch CT, but timely and dangerous hit ter and a fine base runner-a combi- nation of virtues rarely assembled in one small human frame. The old theory that great catcher has to be a beefy giant has been finally and conclusively put on the blink by Schalk.
