waivers Pit Moran made a flying
tackle and landed Schultz, whom he
had tried to purchase from the Pirates
last winter.
The confidence shown In Schultz by
Moran indicates that he still has sew
eral years Of major league baseball In
his system, for Moran doesn't take on
flivvers, and he has an uncanny habit
Of nlcking Off ball players who are cast
aside by other clubs and moldlng them
into a winning machine.
In all probability Schultz will take
the place of Whitfield or Cravath in
the Philly Outfield II he shows signs
of singing the ball In his Old-time
form. Schultz Is a vet, but he Is one
Of the Old-timers who hasn't lost the
snap from his legs. He can still can.
ter around the gardens and haul down
the tough ones with as much agility
as many of the cumbersome youngsters
who come up every year. The fact
that Cravath's legs have been troubling
him makes Schultz an asset to the
Phillies, for Cravath can be kept on
bench II Schultz can fill the bill In the
garden, and Gavvy's hitting will be
enlisted In the pinches as usual.
Schultz was a teammate Of MOran's
on the old Cub champions and aside
from Evers he Is the only member OF
the Cub champions Of 1905 who Is still
fightin' Off the lusty punches Of Ole
Doc Time.

country will have ON American sports,
1t Is somewhat refreshing to turn to ut

war In Europe would seem to have
benefited sports In no little degree.
The news comes from Venezuela,
South America, and Is to the effect
that the magnitude Of the sugar indus
try in the continent south Of us, re-
sulting from the demand growing out
of the war, has attracted many Cuban
baseball players to the continent and
these men have organized baseball
teams and started to play the great
American game.
All of the South American countries
whose soil Is adapted to the cultlva-
ton of sugar are sending to Cuba for
expert wOrkmen and many of those
who are responding have been dia-
mOnd stars In the Pearl of the An
titles. AS a result, baseball promises
to become ut least as well known, II
not as popular, In Latin America as II
Is In the West Indies. The South
Americans are a sport-loving people,

Holke did his part by smashing a

out for second. As he was about to

Success With Pitchers.
Perhaps the best success Of Foil has
been In his development of pitchers.
Covelskie, Lambeth, Bagby and Gould
have all been developed under the
tutelage Of Foil.
Fohrs success differs widely from
that enjoyed by other big League lead
ers. In that he has developed most of
the stars who cavort on the Cleveland
diamond by himself. The men who al.
most brought pennant to the sixth
city under the leadership Of Joe Biz.
