the Cincinnati men quite a lot, but

Ray SchaIk. the great little Catcher
Of the White Sox. was put out of the
game today by Umpire Rigler for dis
putting a decision at the plate with
too much fervor in the heated sixth.
The Sox were keyed way up at the
start Of the game. and Schalk's out
burst against Rigler was an indication
of the tension. Fred Merkle and John
