0l0-TlME BALL PLAYERS
FAST FADING FROM GAME

Ball players who only I few
years ngo were starring every
day on the diamonds In the big
leagues are gradually fading
away. Tom Leach was recently
released by a minor league club
and Hurry Davis retired. And
now 'Wlldfire" Schultz has
been released by the Phillies.
Frank Schultz was d member
OF the old Cub machine when
Frank Chance was its leader.
For fifteen years Schultz, who
! battcds left-hanGcd, was noted
as the champion right-feld fence
! buster OF the league.
"Wildhre. with Slagle and
Shecltard, formed the Cubs out
. field with which Frank Chance
won pennant. Later, when
. Slngle began to slip bhck, Artie
Hoffman took his place and
. Schultz continued his heavy hit
ting and more pennants were
won.

When hanging pictures always hang
