APACRES THREATEN
SUIT WHEN AZTECS
FAIL TO SHOW UP
Big Sunday Crowd Disap.
pointed-Talk 1t Oyer
Monday Night.

Manager Johnny Bertetti of the
Apache Indians is deriving only quail.
fled satisfaction from the fact that the
Apaches won the West Side baseball
championship through the failure Of
the Aztecs to show up at the field for
TIE two games scheduled Sunday. He
is concerned over the fact that record
breaking crowds were present to see
the games but had to be turned away.
As result, Bertetti is considering a
damage suit abainst the Aztec Amuse-
mcnt Company, owners of the Aztec
baseball club, to recover from them
what would have been his share of the
gate receipts.
In statement made Monday morn
ing to The Light, Bertetti said the
matter would be brought before a
meeting of the owners of the Apache
Indians Monday night. The Indians
have been playing this season with the
financial backing of the Apache Pack
ing Company.
The Aztecs had given notice to Ber-
tetti that they would not show up Sun
day but the Apaches played safe and
appeared on the field. The failure OF
the Aztecs to arrive gave the Apaches
the series with five games out of nine.
The Aztecs forfeited SATURDAYS game
by walking off the field in the seventh
inning following dispute over an UNI
pirc's decision.

cally won their third championship
and they're on their way to the
fourth.
Stagnation Is Cause.
Seven cities in the American League
cannot hold the Yanks down and in
the National they have lost patron
age so badly in some sections that
they have got to get up in the race
or suffer the painful drawing of every
tooth in their heads. 1t isn't that
there is any lack of interest in base
ball. 1t is simply stagnation.
1t happens, of course, that both
leagues are under the. same diet of
"too much New York" and that
makes it doubly distasteful.
Fans doubtless. think it strange
that the Pacific Coast League. which
for fabulous prices last year, has
produced no material bought this
year. 1t was rumOred sometime ago
that the Pacific Coast League was
to be boycotted by the majors because
the coast boys are opposed to the
draft. If that were so then what

whether Paul Strand would do for

Shreveport, La, Sept. 17.-Shreve

League season from San Antonio Sun
day. 5 to 0. The teams, hustling TO

record of 53 minutes. The victory
kept the Gassers from losing 1OO
games this year.
Bob Couchman, the slow curve ar

fast balls-while Gasser batsmen spe'
cialized on easy grounders and the
Bears, hitting against Ioungster Fer
guson, lofted the ball frequently Il
the outfield or dumped it in front oil
the plate. Ferguson threw out seven
batters himself.
San Antonio made only five hits
Shreveport collected ten. Three OF
these ten were punched in the first
inning, with wild throw by Gross
for two runs. Dashiell cracked &
home run over the left field fence il
the second inning. Shirlings double
Wigbt's bunt and Riley's sacrifice fly
scored number four in the fifth, and a
double by Dashiell and successive in
field outs produced the last one In
the next inning.
Batting Order Messed Up.
The Bears, with Boone and Full
Ter out of the lineup, presented a
somewhat messed up batting order,
with Pitcher Lucas in the gardens,
Galloway on second and Todt at
first.
Before the game, there was a pro-

Schak Baseball Marvel; Smallest Yet
Understanding Catcher in Big Leagues
BY BILLY EVANS

Ray Schalk of the Chicago White
Sox stands out rs one of the most
remarkable figures in baseball.
The diminutive catcher of the Chi
cago White Sox recently passed the
100 mark in games caught for 1923.
That makes IL successive years IN
which Schalk has caught more than
100 ball games.
Schalk's performance is all the more
remarkable when you consider that ne
has been catching some of the most
difficult pitchers in the game.
When he joined the Chicago club,
Billy Sullivan was the headliner in
the catching end of the game. Sui
Ivan was nearing the end of his ca
reer, while Ed Walsh. star pitcher OF
the Sox, was at the top of his game.
Who would catch Walsh when Sui
Ivan passed out of the picture? Could
the wee Schalk handle the deceptive
spitball delivery of the giant Walsh ?
Most of the baseball experts scoffcd
at the idea.
Schalk finally got his chance. 1t
took only few innings to prove that
catching Walsh was easy for Schalk.
Until Walsh passed cut of the majors.
Schalk was his regular battery-mate.
He took care of Walsh in as ACCEPT
able a manner as did Sullivan. and
in his day there was no better re-
ceiver than Billy Sullivan.
In addition TO Walsh. Schalk has
caught two other tough birds. in
Eddie Cicotte and Red Faber. Cicotte,
master of all the pitching tricks of The
game, gave a catcher a days work
any time he performed. l have seen
substitute catchers essay to handle
Cicotte's stuff and have n terrible
time of it, dropping about every other
ball pitched.
Equally hard to catch is "Red"
Faber. still one of the games leading
pitchers. Faber. with his side-arm
splitter. n fast-breaking curve and n
corking fast ball, will keep any catcher
on his toes.
In addition to handling the shoots
of Walsh, Cicotte and Faber. trio
Of master pitchers. Schalk has
looked over perhaps 80 other pitch
ers who have seen service with the
Sox since Re joined the club.
Schalk is sure the wonder man of
baseball when it comes to work and
efficiency.
Right now il looks as il he'd catch
about $50 games this year. In the 10
years prior to 1923. Schalk had work
cd 1923 games, an average of 132
games season out of a possible 1jf.
That sure is stepping some.
Some idea of the record Schalk
has established can be cleaned from
the fact that George Gibson. who
ranks second 10 Schalk in tho matter
of work performed. has only six years

TENNIS BECOMES ONE
OF LEADING SPORTS
INSIDE OF 20 YEARS
Ridiculed Not Long Ago
Now Flourishing in
Score of Nations.
By ROBERT EDGREN.

The national tennis championship
was fought out during the week OIL
the turf courts OF the Germantown
Club outside Philadelphia.
It's remarkable how tennis has
grown in popularity. Twenty years
ago the game was hardly known ont.
side the English-speaking countries
This year eighteen nations competed
in the Davis Cup matches and one
challenge was received a few hours
too late.
Tennis is our most strenuous sport.
No other outdoor game requires as
much physical strain over q long
period with so little chance to resi-.
Accustomed to leisurely COMPETE
ton, the golfer or baseball star woaid
have a tough time if he tried to tackle
a lively tennis opponent.
Tennis has reached the point
where topnotch performers find it
necessary to keep in training almost
the entire season. A match often
narrows down to a battle of stamina.
The player who can't stand the pace
doesn't get far nowadayn
In the early period of American ten
/ mis- the game was ridiculed as being
ping-pong on n big scale. The play
ers made no attempt to train. The
national tournament held at Newport
was simply a series of social en-
gagements for the few stars who
knew their early opponents would be
all set-uos.
The first one 10 change conditions
was Maurice Mclaughlin, who came
out of California about twelve years
ago with shock of red hair aud
ability to hit tennis balls harder than
they had ever been hit before.
The newcomer was regarded as 4
sort of tennis freak when he landed
at the fashionable Casino at New
port. McLoughlin's great speed and
skill in smashing soon accounted for
increasing numbers of victims and il
wasn't long before the Californian
captured national honors. Then Red
Mac promptly became the model for
young players.
Almost single-handed McLoughlin

lost to Australia the following year
although Mclaughlin defeated Wild

The Californian's tremendous ef

power from his fiery game. Red Ma,
just burnt himself out in the defens,
of the famous cup. He was never tn,
