RAY SCHALK WHY
CATCKERS ARE MANAGERS
They Get Training in Handling the
Whole Team in Action
on Diamond.

Ray Schalk. premier catcher of the
White Sox, throws a bit Of light on
why catchers make good managers.
It's Hike this" Ray said one day
last summer. THE catcher is back
there running the game, calling for
CO rtain forms of pitch ng and gener-
ally looking after things. The who'e
playing field Is in front of him and
he can see what is going on all the
time.
You know, a catcher has to hold
up his pitcher, watch all the base
runners, call for the kind of a pitch
that will best fool the batsman and
also cndeavor to have the pitch come
in such manner that the bat smsn wi
have to play into the hands of the
fielders.
L suppose this training to do sew
eral things at once sharpens catch
er's senses. SO when he becomes q
manager he is all trained to take in
the entire situation OF the field at a
glance. However. I have no ambition
10 become a manager. I've found
plenty to do looking after the catch
ing job"

indians Ought To Be
Winners"- Dunn.

Well, there's no use Of start
ing the 1920 American League
pennant race, now that Sunny
Jim" Dunn, president Of the
Cleveland club, has spoken.
Yep, Dunn picks his own club
to win the pennant, doping out
the race as follows
THE Indians ought to win. De-
troit and St. Louis will run Cleve-
land a harder race than either
the White Sox or Yankees. Ruth
will help the Yankees, but not
enough. They'll need more than
Ruth to stay out in front Of the
Indians this year Both Tigers
and Browns have better hitting
combinations than the Sox or
Yankees. The Yankees haven't
gained any speed or bolstered up
any weak spots. Though | like
the chances OF our team better
than any Of the others, | think
it Is to be one grand race"
Dunn has neglected to say
what he thinks of the Griffmen's
chances.

We realize that there wasn't any
fourth place money and all that. but
Owner Phil Ball promised his players
early last season that in the event
they finished in the first division he
would split Sc. with them
That means close to 5000 each, you
know, and those Brownies are keen
for the games that Mays pitched to
be thrown out. for then they would

Boxing In Virginia

nOXIuR IN NbHRhmIos
II the efforts now under way In
Richmond to legalize boxing In Vir-
ginia succeed, clubs are certain to
spring up overnight in Norfolk and
Newport News. War activities have
greatly enlarged both cities. and
thousands of young men would glad
ly welcome boxing bouts for enter
tainment. The same might be said
for Alexandria, too, where the new
shipyards have many young men to
entertain and keep satisfied with
their working conditions.
Wisconsin has shown to the whole
country that a State can conduct box
ing satisfactorily simply by appoint
ing the right kind OF men on it's COM
mission. The mmissioners must be
above reproach. experienced in all
the tricks Of the boxing world and
absolutely in charge of the game.
Such men can make Virginia support
boxing quite as well as Wisconsin
does now.

By Mexico Man

Joe Sumner, of the Sumner Motor
Company, is getting to be somewhat
of an inventor, in spite Of the fact
that he has been about his business so
quietly that most Of his fellow cit
liens are not aware Of the fact. He
has applications in, at the present
time, for two patents, and has several
more small inventions which he ex-
poets to apply for patents on a little
later.
The two things which he has invent
ed and which have been tried by local
motorists and garages are a Chevrolet
front spring and a valve litter The
former has been In use on three cars
in Mexico during the last year and has
proven satisfactory. The valve litter,
Mr.. Sumner says, has been tried out
in all the shops in the city and has
been declared more satisfactory than
any other in use
When his patents r granted Mr..
Sumner intends to either manufacture
them himself or to form a company
for the making Of them.
