Wrestler Finds He's Down Just When He's Beginning Look
NO. 22-THE MOST UNUSUAL PLAY EVER SAW

Ray Schalk is one Of the greatest
catchers the game ever produced.
largely because he does other things
aside from the mere giving of signals,
catching and throwing the ball.
Ray Schalk is a thinker. There is
a reason for everything he does on the
ball field. He gives thought to every
ball pitched. He is constantly looking
fielders and outfielderS shift properly
for the style Of pitch he has signaled
for.
When Hal Chase was playing first
base for the Chicago White SoX, ne
and Schalk pulled many q remarkable
play. While Schalk featured two of
the most unusual plays ever saw a
catcher make, assistance from Chase
played prominent part.
One Of the plays was the result ~
fast thinking on the part OF SchalS,
and a perfectly timed throw by Chase.
The other play was the result of plan
that Schalk and Chase had worked out.
Ray Schalk is the only catcher ]
ever saw get a putout at third base on
a throw from the first-baseman, and the
only catcher TO get putout OF first
base on a throw from an outfieldcr.
As to the play at third:
With a visiting runner on first base
and no one out, the batsman laid down
a bunt, which both the third-baseman
and pitcher went after. The pitcher
handled the bunt, getting the runner
at first base on close play. Tho
third-baseman, in order TO get out of
the pitchers way in fielding the ball,
had purposey fallen to the ground.
The base runner originally on first
a very fast man-noticed that third base
was uncovered as the rounded second
base. Ray Schalk had defined the in
tention of the base runner before he
reached second, and had raced down TO
third base from his position back of the
plate.
Hal Chase had also sized up the stu
alton. He held his throw until Schalk
was able to get in position to receive
it. Then he made a fast, accurate
throw to third. Schalk received tho
throw a fraction of second ahead OF
the runner, and managed to get the ball
on him by making a dive for the run
ner as he started his hook-slidc into
the base.

Kansas City, Jan. 25.-A hopeless

Paralyzed on one side so that an

ounce of superfluous flesh.
Eustace was born on Il farm near
Wakefield, Kan, which is about TWEEN

heavy lifting while working on the
farm he became paralyzed.
The usual medical treatment was
given but failed to effect cure. Then
his attention was attracted by an ar

ship of Kansas.
Since entering the professional game

NATIONS pEBrTo FRANKLIN
Outstanding Figure Of the Revolution
Should Never Be Forgotten by
Any American.

If a hundred professors of American
history were asked what man. next to
Washington, did most to launch the
American republic as an Independent,
selfmoying nation, 90 of the answers
would name Benjamin Franklin. But
1t Is to he feared that the average stu
dent of history does not appreciate so
well what this country owes to the
memory of the author, statesman and
philosopher who was horn In Boston
PIT years ago.
For such. the best course Is not to
plunge into historical discussion, but
to get acquainted with Franklin, the
man. The task, fortunately, is at once
easy and delightful. His autobiog-
raphy, with its shrewd wisdom, incis-
I've wit. kindly humor and amazing
frankness and insight, is one of the
most readable hooks In the English
language. Let the doubter read that
and proper appraisal of Franklin Is
almost certain to follow. We do not
underrate our friends, and there is
something wrong with the person who
does not count Franklin friend
after perusing that memoir.--Chicago
