Baseball Series
Probable at Fort
Brown In Future

Baseball is expected to be taken
I'D at Fort Brown in the nea future
with vim and vigor. The national
pastirne has been dormant due TO
the separation of the troops by
range practice.
Troops A and B are now at Fort
Ringgold but are expected TO return
to tn. local post by the end Of the
month.
With all hands on deck a series
will be begun between the troops TO
determine the champions. There
probably will be four troop mines and
a detachment team.
Fort Brown players contributed
materially to the championship
Brownsville American Legion team
last year. Mersky. slim young right
handler, was bought out Of the army
by the Chicago White SoX due to
his showing with the Legion nine.

Box Office Feels
Effects Of Babes
! Enforced Absence

NEW YORK. June ii.-tP1-One
way Of proving c~onclusively that
Babe Ruth draws the crowds Is TO
show the yankees without the Bam-
bino in the lineup.
During the Babes recent absence
because of a Sprained wrist and a
cold only $4,000 fans attended a
Sunday game. That's a big Sabbath
crowd for some cities, but it's a poor
one for the Yankee stadium with
its $4,000 capacity.
This low attendance mark came
right after the newspapers had en-
phasiZed a Yankee shakeup. Shifts
were made in both the outfield and
infield. representing probably the
most radical changes made since the
YkkeeS became a suDer-club. Yet
the curiosity Of the fans was more
than offset by the loss OF the Babe.
It is true that the White SoX pro-
vided the opposition for this Sunday
game. but Lena Blackburne's club
cannot be rated a poor attraction
despite their poor rating in the av-
erages. There's that headline spar
ring team Of Blackburne e. Shires
that doubtless drew thousands TO
Col. Jake Ruppert's arena.
But the old appeal simply wasn't
There with the Babe missing.

Il The Herald.
Frank Schultz. once famous as
an outfielder with the champion
Chicago Cubs. is with an oil COM
pany at Richmond. Cal. Schultz
was one of the cogs in the great
machine that Frank Chance built
at Chicago. and which swept to the
baseball pinnacle before its defeat
at the hands of Fielder Jones and
his Chicago White Sox spelled the
beginning Of the end Of the Cub
regime.
Schultz vas a great fielder and
was noted for his home run hit
ting. When Frank connected prop
erly with the ball there usually
remained nothing else but a slow
log around the bases for the hard
hitting outfielder.
Frank was a slow talker. but
there wasn't anything wrong with
his thinking. He was a smart ball
player. always using his head as
well as his arms and legs. That's
WHY he was one Of the Cubs aces
during the DAYS Of their glory.
They tell a story on Schultz In
the major leagues to Illustrate that
Frank usually had a snapoy come
back. II seems that the Cubs wers
playing an exhibition game at To-
ronto on an off day and they were
neatly trounced by the Interna-
tional leaguers.
That didn't set very we'll with
Chance. SO "Husk" called his men
together and delivered a lecture.
The Cub boss laid down the law.
telling them that he knew the rea-
son they had been trimmed by a
minor league club was because the
Cubs had been staying out late and
drinking too much. Chance prai&,
ed Toronto's showing and pointed
TO the players on that team as
shining EXAMPLES. Perfect in disci-
pline. he said.
rs that SOP" piped Schultz. well.
I know these Toronto boys. and.
say. they do their training on
BEER"
What Chance answered to that
one has been lost to p~osterity.
