SCHALK IS LEADING CATCHER

Has Made Rapid Stride* to Front Rank Since Comiskey Secured Him From Milwaukee. Ray Schalk of the White Sox stands out as the leading catcher in the big show. Schalk has made rapid strides to the front rank since Comiskey took him out of the American Association.

He is able to catch all kinds of pitching, is a deadly thrower, and can hit the ball. Schang of the Athletic* comes next, in the opinion of many students of baseball.
