The Ranger Athletic club of New ‘® Britain have a stronger and football team than they have ever been able to put forth upon the field. Last year's Rangers team won the 150 pound football championship of the city. The Ranger football management have been very fortunate in securing the services of two ex-players of the Tomahawks, . Louis Puppel, captain and Huff Con- vad, halfback. The Tomahawks won the championship of Cleveland and vicinity for two consecutive years. Jo- seph Argosy, an ex-Bridgeport center, will hold the center for the Rangers. The Rangers are openly defying any team that believes they can take the . Ranger measure, especially the South Ends, Acorns, Dutch Hills of 'Meriden and the Tiger Athletic club of Mid- dletown, South Ends of Waterbury. This challenge also applies to any football team of 150 pound weight of Unionville, Thomaston, Thompson- ville, Windsor Locks, Holyoke.

Portland won the championship of the Middlesex County league last Sat- urday when, with Bos Pond on the mound, they defeated the East Hamp- ton nine which was backing its repu- tation on Old Bill Pike. Already the Corbin Red Sox have beaten the Portland team twice this year but the manager still thinks he can®trim New Britain. Manager Jack Tobin is giving him his chance this Saturday. The Red Sox will leave for Portland at 1 p. m. Sunday's game in Stafford Springs has been called off by the out of town management—iwithout explanation. Baltimore Orioles Will -Start in Hartford Oct. 4 There has been a decided change in the plans for the Hartford-Balti- more series. Instead of opening the series next week and playing in both cities, Baltimore will play three games in Hartford, the dates being set as Oct. 4, 5, 6. This leaves the Hartford club with a week of idle- ness, and an attempt is being made to have Rochester’and one or two big league clubs appear at Clarkin Field to keep the Senators in condition.

That makes 11 successive years in which Schalk has caught more than| 100 ball games. Schalk's performance is - all the more remarkable when you consider that he has been catching some of the most difficult pitchers in the| game. | When he joined the Chicago elub, Billy Sullivan was the headliner in the catching end of the game. Sul-| livan was nearing the end of his career, while Ed Walsh, star pitcher of the Sox, was at the top of his| game, Who would catch Walsh whgn Sullivan passed out of the picture? Could the wes, Schalk handle the de- eeptive spithall deltvery of the giant Walsh? Most the baseball experts scoffed at the ilca, Schalk !'net Critics, Schalk finally got his chance. It took only a few innings to prove that| catching Walsh was easy. fogs Schalk, Until Walsh passed out of e ma- jors, Schalk was his regular battery mate. He took care of Walsh in as acceptable manner as did Sullivan, and in his day there was no better receiver than Billy Sullivan. In addition to Walsh, Schalk has| caught two other tough birds, in Eddie Cicotte and Red Faber. Cicotte, master of all the pitching tricks of the game, gave a catcher a day's| work any time he performed. 1 have| dle Cicotte's stuff and have a terrible| time of it, dropping about every other ball pitched. Equally hard to catch is "Red"' Movie of a Man Who Hag L&st His Drive And Reco vers It EVERY YEAR THIS Time | SHow UP IN A NICE FUZZ2Y FE HAT. I'M SUPPOSED To BE THE LAST W IN_ APPEARANCE ITS A NICE FEELI HAT THoVGH AND | FEEL PRETTY Com- FORTABLE | the fact that George Faber, still one of the game's lead- ing pitchers. Faber, with his side- arm spitter, a fast-breaking curve apd a corking fast ball, will keep any catcher on his toes, In addition to handling the shoots of Walsh, Cicotte and Ifaber, a trio of master pitchers, Schalk has looked over perhaps 50 other pitchers who have seen servite with the Sox since he joined the club. Sets Remarkable Record. Schalk is sure the wonder man:of kaseball when it comes to. work: and efficiency, Right now it looks aseif he'd catch about 130 games this year. In the 10 years prior to 1923, Schalk had worked 1323 games, an average of 132 games a season out of a pos- sible 154, That sure is stepping some, Some has established can idea of the record Schalk be gleamed from Gibson, who ranks second to Schalk in the mat- ter of work performed, has only six years to his credit in which he caught more than 100 games. Chief’ Myers, when with New York, caught 100 or more games for five consecu- tive years. . Schalk has already more than doubled that record. Schalk’s biggest year was in 1020, when he caught 151 games and his lean year was 1918 when he caught only 106 games, the season being curtailed because of the war. It will be a long time before hase- ball produces another catcher of the Schalk type, a player capable of do- ing much work and doing it well. LORD BALTIMORE II VICTOR.

The resignation of Captain McCue ‘of the New Britain High school fcot- ball team will put a serious crimp In the chances of the Red and Gold for another championship team this fall.
