say to handle Cicotte's stuff and nave

every other ball pitched.
Equally hard to catch is Red"
Faber, still one of the games lead
ing pitchers. Faber, with his side
arm splitter. a fast-breaking curve
and a corking fast ball, will keep any
catcher on his toes.
In addition to handling the shoots
of Walsh, Cicotte and Faber, a trio
of master pitchers, Schalk has look
ed over perhaps so other pitchers
who have seen service with the Sox
since he Joined the club.
Sets Remarkable Record
Schalk Is sure the wonder man of
baseball when it ome to work and
efficiency.
Right now it looks as If he'd
catch about 1870 m this year. In
the 10 years prior to 1923, Schalk
had worked 1928 games, an average
of 1872 games a season out Of a pos
sible 154. That is stepping some.
Some idea of the record Schalk
has established can be CLEANED from
the fact that George Gibson, who
ranks second to Schalk in the matter
of work performed, has only six
years to his credit in which he
caught more than 100 games. Chief
Myers, when with New York, caught
100 or mare games for five con-
,secutive years. Sehalk a already
more than doubled that record.
Schalk's biggest year was on 1920
when he caught ISL games and his
lean year was 1918 when he caught
only LOG games, the season being
curtailed because of the war.

CHICAGO, Sept. 13.-Ray Schalk
of the Chicago White Sox stands out
as the most remarkable figure IN
baseball. -
The diminutive catcher of the Chi
caeo White Sox has just passed the
100 mark in anne caught for 1928.
That makes IL successive years IN
which Schalk has caught more than
100 ball games.
Sehalk's performance is all the
more remarkable when you consider
hat he has been catching some OF
he most difficult pitchers in the
game.
When he Joined the Chicago CLUB
Billy Sullivan was the headllner IN
he catching end of the game Sulll-
Jan was nearing the end of his ca
GER while Ed Walsh, star pitcher
~ the Sox, was at the top of his
ame.
Who would catch Walsh when

cos only a few innings to prove that
safching Walsh was easy for Schalk.
NTH Walsh passed out Of the ma

acceptable name as did Sullivan,

The Piedmont baseball league sec
ond half schedule will be completed.
tomorrow afternoon, Danville play
ing Greensboro on the formers
home field today and tomorrow, and
Raleigh, the dark horse entry for
the second half championship, play
ng at High Point on the last TWO
lays.
The following is a story of interest
eca ~, clipped from the Danville
Register:
'.For the first time since the or
~san;zation of the Piedmont League,
Danville is near to winning a PEN
nant, at least nearer than ever be-
ore. OF the crew Herb Murphy is
plotting towards a bunting there are
only two players that could be term
ed among the Old Guard-Floyd
Trexler and Eddie Regain. The two
players are among the leaders in the
loop. Trexler's stick is dreaded by
every hur1er in the league, while
Eddie's flashing form between the
stations has caused more than one
catcher to lose perfectly good SUM
Der. In the record Of the two men
iince their entrance into the Pied
mont Leagie the fact that Trexler
has never been fined and Regain only
once shows why the two outer gard
ners are favorites at every city in the
loop.
Trexler Never Fined
Trexler, a railroad man, started
his baseball career with the Spencer
shop club, and for one year played
under the leadership of Jimmy Mat
tox. one of Virginia's heroes of the
giiclrcn, and at present a member
of the Pittsburg Pirates. In 1920
he performed at shortstop for the
High Point Club. On the opening
day If the 1921 season he became
the property of the Tobacconists and
has been used regularly in outfield,
where his spectacular catches Rave
won him applause from the stands
as often as has his slashing hits.
This is Trexler's fourth year in or
ganized bali and yet no umpire has
stuck five fingers. o. for thai matter
both hands, in his face, meaning
he has never been fined. The star
outergsrdner says IT is all due to
knowing when. to hush. High Point

Lyons has regretted the move sew
eral times since.

in a recent game shows what others
consider his worth to a club. Play
