§ RAY SCHALK'S CAREER VARIED

COACH AND PILOT

AS PLAYER,

RAY SCHALK, the Indianapolis Indians’ new manager, the 14th since the organization of the American Association in 1902, is best known as a catcher for the Chicago White Sox after graduating from the Milwaukee Brewers during the season of 1912... . His first league experience was with Taylorville in the old Illinois-Missouri cifeuit in 1911 and he displayed so much talent that Milwaukee signed him before the end of the season. ... Rated just fair as a hitter, Schalk’s strong points were in holding up the pitchers, throwing, fielding and generalship back of the plate. The White Sox snapped him up to the majors late in the season of 1912 and in his first full year in the American League—1913—he caught 112 games. . . . He worked behind the bat in more than 100 games for 11

consecutive seasons and also in 135 games in 1925. ” » ” ” ” 5

CHALK'S last year as a regular with the Sox was 1926 when he was appointed manager. , . . He served as Sox pilot two years, but could gain no headway with the poor material at hand and resigned after the 28 race and joined the New York Giants as coach in 1929. , . . Ray participated in the 1919 World Series when several of the White Sox members turned “black,” but he was unaware of the duplicity and played a star role. . , . As a matter of record, Schalk, the mighty mite, Eddie Collins, Dickie Kerr and others of less renown played so much baseball against the Cincinnati Reds during the championship round they made it difficult for their guilty mates to lose and the series lasted eight games. + . + It was a scheduled nine-game affair, , , « Schalk also was Chicago

Cubs coach for two seasons. uN » » » = AY played in two World Series with the White Sox and batted .263 against the Giants in 1917 and .304 against the Reds in 1919... He never reached the .300 mark in regular season play while in the majors and his life-time big league average Was only .253. As manager of the Buffalo Bisons his club finished first once, third twice. fourth once and fifth twice in the straightaway race. . .. However, in 1933 the playoff winner was declared champion and Buffalo won after finishing fourth in the regular season. . . . His team was out of the money in fifth position in the International League last season,

Held Similar Post With Bisons During Schalk’s Regime as Pilot.

President Norman A. Perry of the Indianapolis Indians made a second raid on the Buffalo club of the

International League today and appointed Leo T. Miller as general manager of the Tribe. Miller served in a similar capacity with the Bisons for seven years, during the managerial regime of Ray Schalk, who on Wednesday severed his Buffalo connections, after six seasons, to become Indianapolis team pilot, succeeding Wade Killefer who acted as both general manager and manger. Since Schalk and Miller were together six years with the Bisons, President Perry believes he has arranged one of the best setups possible for the Indianapolis team. During the Schalk-Miller adminis= tration at Buffalo the club finished in the first division four times, won one pennant in the regular race and captured the post-season playoff series one year,

Product of Erie

General Manager Miller resides in Erie, Pa., and at one time was connected with the old Erie club of the Central League. He is 40 years old, is married and has one child, a daughter. He advised President Perry he would make his residence in Indianapolis after Jan. 1. Before joining the Buffalo club Mr. Miller was employed as a public adjuster in Pennsylvania. He piayed amateur and semipro baseball, but did not participate as a leaguer except from the business side and a few years ago was urged by International League friends to try for the presidency of the circuit. He decided to remain with Buffalo and Frank J. Shaughnessy resigned from the Montreal management and was chosen league leader. By long-distance phone from Erie today, Mr. Miller said he was flattered by the Indianapolis offer and would be delighted to accompany Ray Schalk to the Indians.

Attend A. A. Session

President Perry, Miller and Schalk are to meet in Chicago Monday and discuss club plans before reporting at Milwaukee Tuesday to attend an American Association session. The minor league convention is to open in Milwaukee Wednesday and continue three days. The Indianapolis club's executive staff now contains two Millers, Leo T., general manager, and H. Dale Miller, Indianapolis, business manager and secretary. Player deals form the Tribe's next problem and several transactions are expected to be closed during the convention. Lost from this year's sixth-place team are Johnny Riddle, catcher; Bob Logan and Pat McLaughlin, pitchers; George Archie, first base; Bob Kahle, third base. Only one new player has been obtained since the close of the 1937 campaign. He is Jack Rothrock, veteran outfielder, purchased from the Philadelphia Athletics.

Detroit Red Wings Defeat Blackhawks

By United Press The Stanley Cup ‘champion Detroit Red Wings still occupied the cellar of the National Hockey League's American division today, but they had shaken off the slump that downed them in five of their first seven games. The Wings batted out a 4-1 decision over the Chicago Blackhawks last night in a rough game played before 9500 at Detroit. At one time six men occupied the penalty box. Pettinger, Liscombe, Aurie and Lewis counted for the Wings; Gottselig for Chicago. In the only other game, Toronto increased its leadership of the Canadian division with a 3-1 tri-

Old Glory Sale Offers Thrill, Joe Reports

Park Ave. and County Fair Addicts Mingle as Trotters Go Under Hammer.

By JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer NEW YORK, Nov. 26. — The French poodle and the orchidaecous lady were back in the Park Ave. picture today, The 43d annual Old Glory sale was ended and the horse traders were headed for home,

The Old Glory sale is where trot ters and pacers are bought and sold. In its way it is one of the country’s most unique sports shows. Thrown against the background of swank Park Ave. it became doubly unique, It would be difficult to picture anything more urbane or sophisticated than the big town's glossy social artery--and it's almost impossible to imagine anything more rustic or bucolic than an auction sale of trotters and pacers. While the Harrimans, the Bost wicks and the Gerrys have been in teresting themselves in the strang gaited animals, trotting and pacing still remain the racing realm of the' ruralites, the main sporting lure of the county fair addicts. Mingling with the scattered hundreds in Squadron A Armory yes= terday you saw only a few of the social set; you saw many, many others who wore the lean and bitter imprint of the farm country. Every=body was there for the same purpose —to pick up a bargain in horse flesh, You Can't Fool ’Em It takes a real expert to recognize a good horse and to know how much to bid. For the most part the social set is representea by professional agents. But the clover kickers are in there strictly on their own. It isn’t until they start to operate that you begin to realize how shrewd they can be, and how misleading their calm, open face expressions can be. They may be taken in, as legend has it, by city slickers in dealing for the Empire State Building, but don't try to crowd them when they start bidding on horses. They know just how far to go and just when to stop. The machinery of the Old Glory sale is engaging, almost dramatic. The Armory floor is converted into a track. At the head of the track the auctioneer stands on a fengedin, raised platform. The horses .Ié¢ brought out one at a time. They are identified by numbers. The auctioneer describes their breeding.
