Holman started his baseball ca
reer as a shOrtstopper and then he
started to move. He shifted and
switched until he had covered the
seven regular positions. When he
retired they said thered never be
another like him.
However, Branch Rickel, mana
ger of the Cardinals, disputes this
statement and advances the claim
of Joe Schultz.
Schultz, like Holman, started as
a shortstop with the Pittsburgh Pi-
rates, back in 1912, when he was
only is years old. And, like Hof-
man, he has Travelled and Travelled,
in mileage and positions. He has
covered territory which includes
the Boston Braves, the Brooklyn
Superbas, the Chicago Cubs, the
Pirates again, Akron, Montreal,
Rochester, Los Angeles, Toronto
and Kansas City. He has played
every position for the Cardinals ex-
cept catch and pitch, and he's hope
full of getting a whack at these two

Schultz possesses what batting

follow-through of any batter,
Hornsby not excepted. He does il
with the grace of a golfing star
not much vicious swing, but with
the whole body in motion. In field
ing he has a sure pair of hands for
an infield grounder and steel arm
for a throw from the outfield.
He is the closest mark to Artie
Holman that the game has pro-
duced.

not fare so well yesterday, the Cubs

Charley Hollocher, the Cubs star

players to hit safely against the

There is no national league
pitcher who is shooting within
range of the 80 mark. There isn't
pitcher in all the circuit who shows
for the champions. Grif always has
had it in mind to thrash New York at
any kind of skill which puts him
up with the stars OF old. Cooper,
Rixey and Reuther seem likely to
lead in victories.

PITCHERS Give
UP.3o AMBITION
BY JOHN r. FOSTER.

Copyright. 1922, by The Argus.)
New York, Sept. 9.-Pitchers Of
both the National and the American
league who were ambitious to come
through the season with 80 victor
les have about given it up. Bob
Shawkey says it cannot be done
He wasn't looking for the 80 mark
himself because he has always had
a tender arm. Not one that was
lame but one that requires a great
deal of rest between games. He
puts so much motion into his
pitching that his arms fail about
like thresher Of old.
Bush of the Yanks might get to
the 80 mark if he, too, were not a
tender boy. More than that the
Yanks are figuring on getting into
the world series and they don't
want to crush Bush before that
series begins because they are con-
fident that they can defeat the
Giants if they have the opportun-
ity.
Shocker of St. Louis has a chance
to come somewhere near the 80
standard If the Browns continue to
use him as their fighting pitcher,
all the way along. The Browns are
just as ambitious to win the world
series as the Yanks but they are
more ambitious for the moment to
win the championship of the Ameri-
can league because they never
have had such a chance to win a
pennant as this year since the
American league took them up. The
fact that one club really wishes to
win league pennant for the sake
OF being league champions should
make the fans applaud the Browns
all the more. For the last 10 years
winning pennants has been only

 Less than one per cent of our men are college graduates" says Dr, Dill lard. But of that one per cent the records show that seven-eighths achieve success.

 He says he has proved it by con- structing freak set with the aid of a large ink bottle, at cost oi eleven cents. Being a true radio "bug', Van Ronk hasn't patched his inexpensive apparatus and is will ing to let the world in on the dark secret and make sets like it.
 "The set cost me exactly eleven cents, without the galena, telephone receiver and aerial wires," said Var Ronk. "A piece of galena crystal will cost thirty cents. Get about a dollars worth of bare copper wire for the aerial and $1.50 telephone receiver of the ordinary variety, and the fun and pleasure you will get out of the set will be worth more than $10O to you.
