THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, APRIL 15, 1923—PART 3. The Boys’ and Girls’ STORIES, Base Ball for Boys—By Ray Schalk- Written Exclusively for Thi SPORTS, GAMES, It Took Ten Years, But Schalk Did It. Playing against Detroit last year, Ray Schalk hit a single. a two-base hit, a three-base hit and a home run all in one game. There are very few players in base ball that have ever accomplished this feat. “I have been wanting to do that ever since 1 have been in the big league. It took me ten years to do it,” Schalk said. No wonder the boys of this city are clipping the articles Mr. Schalk has written especially for them. It is very scldom, indeed, that boys learning the game ever have a chance to receive advice from such an expert coach. Last week's article was the first. The second appears below.
