LISTENING TO DRUM CORPS.

“It is just like listening to a drum corps when you come to bat with Ray Schalk catching,” writes Oscar Vitt “He is al-ways-whistling. He uses a trill note and occasionally bursts into song. A batter has to be on his guard all the time to keep his mind on the game, for this boy Schalk is always chatting or doing something behind the bat. I cannot figure how he manages to keep it up, for he works it on every batter throughout the game.”
