WISE PLAYERS SAY THEIR
 CATCHERS WIN FOR THEM

come out in meeting and vote the catcher the blue ribbon, but much of the professional players gabb off the field and on It. for that matter, runs to pitchers
 One Boston player, who may be a manager himself in the future. said today: "The Yankees better hurry up and get Schang back If he were out for the remainder of the season, they could take their s250,oo0 pitch ing staff and junk it. Let that par ticular team go without good catch ing and 1t won't win pennants.
 Flight in the American
 ''The fight for the American league race Is between Severcid of St Louis Bassler of Detroit. Schalk of Chi cago, and Schang of New York, and every one of them is a catcher. Per- ] inds of the Athletics would be in 1t If the Athletics had little speed. They are running into Charley Horse on that team. The old fellows are about played out. with what they have had to date, and the kids aren't as fast as they should be. Our catchers never are going to put us in and they couldn't because they need more to work with. Picinich does pretty well in Washington. but he won't be in the fight at the finish. and Steve O'Neill of Cleveland. would surely be in 1t If they could inject some worn out arm cure into those Cleveland pitchers. He's got lot of smart pitchers but they are too old.
 When Schang went out of the game you notice the Yankees began Ar k.r I-~fA were backin' up before but they backed up worse. He can steady that team. Put a kid catcher in there and that smart bunch of Yankee pitch CTS will do as they all-fired please. They don't think a kid knows any thing. Even the kiddest kid of them all. young Hoyt. has to take an aw- full hold on himself to do what Schang tells him to do.
 schalk Helps Veterans
 This Schalk has got Faber going better than any time this season and last year Faber was the best pitcher Chicago had. He's got this Schupp so he Is lasting pretty nearly a whole game. and if Schupp gets back to his nine-inning status again none of them will beat him. and he is making winner of young Leverett, who has already put five or six victories with few lickings. Johnny Bassler of the Detroits has been doing tho same thing. If Cobb'd let him alone he'd do better. Severeid Is no slouch with St. Louis. If the Browns could get Steve O'Neili away from Cleve- land the Tanks might as well hang up the old fiint-lock right now. The trouble Is folks don't give these here catchers half the show they should have"

 New York, July S.-Players of ma : jor league teams are quicker to sense the weaknesses of teams against which they compete than managers or owners. They discuss among players but very rarely will they talk to outsiders. For the definition of "outsiders' include the public gener- ally and baseball critics. However. to some writers, players--certain of them-tell everything they know in the most straight forward manner. That is almost invariably the result of personal friendship.
 In 1919, member of the Wash ingtons. player of experience. said Chicago would win the American league pennant. "Schalk," he said Schalk is the Chicago catcher still ''has got the pitchers on that team so they can scalp the Indian on cop- per penny. Never saw such placing of pitching in my life"
 Ray Makes Elm Pitch
 Perhaps that Is what Schalk Is doing now. He is back again with the Sox. and playing ball as well as he ever did. At least, the players will tell you so. Ask those who have faced the Chicago team since the White Sox began to climb who is re- sponsible for it. If there Is some old chap who has been in the league for some time who will concede an opin- ion 1t Is fair enough to venture that he ~ill tell you that Schalk has done it with his way of making pitchers find the mark.
 ho ri a pa n baseball as perfect as Schalk. but they can't influence pitchers as Schalk can. The harmony chord be- tween pitcher and catcher Is one of the odd things about baseball that no one has explained. Waddell was probably the most cratic left-hand pitcher who ever lived. Some of the best catchers of the country tried to handle him and could not. Give him Scheckenghost catcher who was fully as cranky as Waddell. and the left handed Rube could pitch any thing, and no one could hit him.
 Catchers to Decide It
 Catchers, according to some of the ball players of the American league. are going to decide the race In that organization. That's new angle and 1t is not half bad. Most of the fans have been told that 1t is the pitchers or the batters who are going to win pennants. Two old grizzle tops on the Boston Americans--griz- zled in a baseball way--venture the belief that it is the catchers. A wise and ancient infielder on the Athletics says 1t is the catchers who are going to do it. Keen old ball players, those. They have been through the mill and they have been on some champion ship team themselves and know what catchers can do. Yet that Is a radi- cal departuree to hear ball players

CHARLIE WEINERT
 MAY GET CHANCE AT FRENCH CHAMP
Newark Scrapper Will PFob- ably Meet Fulton or
 Roper Soon
By SPARROW MGANN Special Correspondent of Tho Age-Hei

NCopyright, te22. by The e-hernldl
 New York. July s.-What do yoI think Francois Deseamps, the clever manager of Georges Carpenter. is working on now? Nothing less than battle this fall In London between Carp and Charles Weinert, the New ark adonis.
 Mator Wilson. the British promoter and the French fighters manages have had their heads together, mall ing over some card to take the place of the projected Marcel Nilles-Car- pentier fight, which went glimmering when Battling Ski, the wild-eyed AL serian negro, knocked Marcel for a line of kettles recently.
 Babe Culnan, Weinert's manager has been in touch with Wilson and has been advised that if Charley comes through his American engage ments this summer the chances are that the British impressario can see his way clear to bring the Ncwarker and Georges together late this fall or early next winter.
 In the meantime, Welnert has about been matched to do battle with Gene Tunney in Jersey on August T, Als5 a bout with Tommy Gibbons Is Tn sight. Well, if Charley Weinert can get by tlese two fights, he will have earned the right to meet Carpentier In London for a good-sized purse, But. aside from these two men. Cui- nan wants to hook Weinert up with the winner of the Fred Fulton-C Cap tain Roper embroglio now drawing near.
 GrudEe Battle
 These fighters have a real grudge to settle, according to a story now going around. It appears that put In Denver, early in the spring, Fulton and Roper were fighting when Full ton became a bit rough and pushed the captain out of the ring. Roper hurried back and then. instead of walloping the Plasterer, he picked the stool out of his corner and beaned him with 1t. Fulton went fast to sleep and 1t was some time before he took an interest In his environment. Probably In the next fight the stools will be chained to the posts.
 Fulton. by the way. is said to he fighting better than ever in his life. He has overcome certain timidity and mixes it for all he is worth. If this Is true. Fulton will be able to pick up some money this year.
 Those who are counting on Demp sey- Wills fight this year are going 70 miss out by q mile. Governor Miller has said he has no objection to a mixed bout-Governor Miller of New York. the writer means-but when you anaiyze this remark, holding in mind the fact that there are a hun dred thousand negro voters In New York city alone you become not so cer- tain that Miller's remark was not in- tended for political consumption. In New Jersey. Governor Edwards will certainly not give permission for the bout to be held until after his fight for the United States senatorship has heen decided. That will be nert year. And as for Toledo, nothing would drag Rickard out there again. Can ada? Who can show a money value in A mixed bout up there7 So when alls said and done, the bout will be held next year if at all.

Walter Hoouer Attains Life Ambitions When
 He Wins Diamond Souls

of Worcester. Mass. father of the Rowing Teneycks, sHoover literally has lived on Lake Superior for sev- eral years.
 Before the Ice left the lake in the spring he was at 1t, usually alone, sprinting through the open spaces between ice floes.
 Trained nt Duluth
 His technique, his speed and his rowing form he developed in the comparative calm of Duluth's land locked harbor. In the choppy seas and heavy winds of the open Lake Superior, he learned the seamanship which was such a vital factor along the choppy course on the Thames
 Hoover could not scull In winter. for then his practice ground was covered with a three-foot crust of ice. So he did the next best thing --stuck to his cot In the crews quarters overhanging the lake. where the waves spurted through the floor in summer and the snow whist1ed through in winter.
 Daily he worked out at the ma- chimes, concluding his practice with inspections of his fragile single seat CT. polishing the sweeps. putting on o No0 VI fhf tiisii hSi tt d uap ol Oii there--getting ready for another season.
 In tho meantime he worked at his profession of civil engineer, or did manual labor In the shops of hard ware manufacturing plant.
 For several years Hoover rowed in local regattas with Duluth Boat club elghts and fours Only his inti- mate friends and Dad" Teneyck shared the secret of his ambition at first. When Young Jib Teneyck, enc of America's greatest strokes. succeeded his father as coach f the Duluth Boat club. he. too. helped pre- pare the lad. Hoover, for the great day.
