FRANK GETTY IMTW PfAkSS SPOBTS tDLtoa

Deposed as manager of the Chicago 1 White Sox, Ray Schalk, perhaps the 1 greatest catcher of all time, may be < through with baseball. S Although it was made to appear that Schalk resigned his post, there is no ‘ doubt but that Charles A. Comiskev ' discharged Schalk as he did most of * the other managers who failed to win 1 pennants with poor material. Schalk does not want to quit base- ' ball, and in his letter to Comiskey said “my connection with baseball remains in tile balance.” Schalk re- 1 mains the property of the White Sox. ' and it is within Comiskey’s power to 1 do whatever he wishes with his deposed manager. It it is the “Old Roman's” whim he can keep Schalk from ever becoming affiliated with another club, but surely Comiskey would not impose that penalty on the man who gave 16 years of his life to the Chicago American league ball club. Comiskey has been the target of Chicago baseball fans all season, and his underhand methods in dismissing Schalk have not increased the attendance at Comiskey park. Three Escaped Boot Only three of the eleven managers of the White Sox have not been "fir- ; ed" by Comiskey. Clark Griffith, the first manager of the White Sox, gave ’ up the management of the Chicago club after winning the pennant in 1901 f to assume the leadership of the New . York Yankees. Fielder Jopes managI ed the White Sox for a little over five years, retiring in 1908 to enter business. Frank Chance died in 1924 after signing to manage the White . Sox. 1 All of the others—James J.

ham, W. J. Sullivan, Pants Rowland, 1 Hugh Duffy, Kid Gleason, Johnny Evers. Eddie Collins and finally Ray Schalk —were “fired." Eddie Collins managed the White Sox in 1925 and 1926 and the club finished in fifth place 'both seasons. After dismissing Collins, Schalk was made manager of the club, but again the White Sox finished in fifth place in 1927. | Blackburne Given Chance Schalk was not notified of his reengagement as manager of the White Sox until shortly before time to gs south for spring training. The team without any hitting strength andAi weak infield, failed to get off well soon descended to the cellar. c3H iskey, vacationing at his sumnßr? camp in the North Woods, receivjdl word of the poor showing of the team and was advised it was Schalk's fault. He immediately demanded Schalk's resignation, which was tendered July 4. Russell (Lena) Blackburne, White Sox coach since 1926, was appointed temporary manager to succeed Schalk. Schalk was purchased from Milwaukee at the age of 19 In 1912 for four players, one of whom was Blackburne who later succeeded Schalk, and $15,000. Weighing only 155 pounds and one of the smallest catchers of all time, Schalk became the White Sox regular catcher in 1913 and for 11 straight seasons through 1923 caught more than 100 games a season. He caught over 100 games in 1925. His record with the White Sox follows: Years Games v P.O. A. 16 1,721 7097 1796 E. Chances Ave. 171 9,064 .981

It is 84 ft deep I and the water is of excellent quality. | It is planned to make picnic grounds ’ around the well. — The hill at the No, 8 green on th? I local course is being soded. This will I ( improve the course considerably. To Build Club House At a meeting of the directors of the Kendallville Country club, plans of the pioposed club house were discus** ed and carefully gone over, and as a result, indications are that within a , few days work on the new structure to cost approximately $16,000 will be started. The new club house. wbicH will be constructed of wood, will be of one story construction and basement. It will be provided with a lobby, dining room, private parlor for the ladies rest rooms and all modern conveniences. There will be lockeis and showers, rooms for the caddies and caddy master, and other conviences in the basement room. It is hoped to have the building completed for dedication about Thanksgiving, and the plun is to keep the club house open throughout the year if conditions warrant. Kendallville was the pioneer small city in northern Indiana to build and maintain a modern golf club. When established twelve years ago the outlook was uncertain, but some sixty prospective members were signed up and work on the course started. The need cf a club house was realized but no funds were available. Five men advanced some $3,000 and the club house was built. As the dub prospered this money was paid back with interest. This building was destroyed by fire last fall. " —Kendallville News-Sun Vikings Are Art Lovers “Swedish vikings were Art lovers. | says a headline.

The total cost of the project would be about $2,000 but authorities of the City, of the Hills believe that there is sufficient interest in the game among citizens there to warrant the expenditure. We have avoided the subject cf ! a municipal golf course in Huntington until an adequate gymnasium is obtallied—but there is little doubt but ’ that a public links would be popular ' here." —Huntington Herald.

RUTH PLANS TO RETIRE IN 1929 New York. July 21. — (INS) — Babe I Ruth, home run king of the major leagues, declares he will retire from baseball at the end of the 1929 season—no foolin! While most of the Babe's team mates on the New York Yankees received his announcement < skeptically, the big gun of the world's champions insisted today that the lure of spanking a new white baseball into distant bleat hers would hold no charms for him after next season. “Next year will be my last year," the Bambino declared, apparently in all seriousness. “I’ve had a great time in baseball and the game has been good to me. I'm well fixed and independent, and Um going to quit before 1 get kicked out.” Ruths' contract expires at the end of the 1929 season. He pointed outthat by that time, he probably will | have realized his ambition to hit 500 home runs during his big league career. , “For fifteen years I've wanted to take a summer vacation." Ruth continued. "By the end of next year I will have safed enough money to be independent." Two U. S.
