The “Cracker,” fifteen years in the Major leagues, is but 5 feet 7 inches in height and welghs less than 150 pounds. Schalk is one of the smallest men in the ranks of professional players, especially in the backstopping job where it is commonly believed a rugged six footer is more desirable. Schalk came from the Milwaukee American Association team in the days of “Big E Walsh, a spitball pitcher and one of the hardest men to catch in the game. Dwarf Among Catchers ‘When Schalk made his debut the major league teams had for catchers such glants as Frank Bowerman, “Chief” Meyers, Johnny Kling, Bill Sulivan, Bill Carrigan and George Gibson. Schalk caught 128 games in 1913 and for eleven consecutive years was the “wonderman of the mask,” topping baseball records of 151 games in 1920. “Catching is what a catcher makes out of it,” Schalk said in giving his views, “Catching is one of the most important cogs of a winning ball club. It's up to the catcher to bring out the value of the job. Het can't loaf. Backstop Is Game's Pivot “To the fan in the bleachers, the catcher has a cinch. Let me tell you the catcher is the pivot with all the plays before him. The game centers around the pitcher, and it's up to the catcher to keep his pitcher on edge. When the pitcher has control you will sce the team hustling. Nothing discourages a team so much as a wild pitcher. Look how the boys play behind Grover Alexander and Walter Johnson.” Schalk has the Mistinction of ha ing made a putout at every base. Several times he made them at first and third, and made one at second base years ago when the White Sox were playing the St. Louis Browns. Famous Grafton Mansion Is Sold for $100,000 Grafton, Mass., Dec. 14.—(P—The mansion bullt in 1910 by the late lliam H.

Little Kenneth Nicholls, 8 years of age, son of Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Nicholls, 62 Black Rock avenue, didn’t know there were any ifts coming to him upon the occasion of his birthday anniversary party yes- terday. Hence he was a much sur- prised boy after his numerous friends called for a good time and brought him things by which to re-| member the event. The front rooms of the house were gay with decor- ations and it looked as if Santa Claus had called. Those in the party were Robert and Catherine Smith, Eilen Fairbanks, Barbara Stair, Frederick Tyler, Milton Pratt and Raymond and William Nicholls, brothers, Several other little friends were prevented from attending by illness. REMOVING OLD CASTLE Tenth Being Moved From Spain to Calif. New, York, Dec. 14 (P—The New York Times understands that a tenth century cioister is being taken stone by stone from a village in the province of Segovia, Spain, to the California estate of Willlam Ran- dolph Hearst. A large part of the clolster has already arrived in this country and is being shipped west. The stones were removed by ox team over 40 miles of specially built road.

The report recently given out about the new highway to be con- tructed from the flats over the old | | School House hill to Kelsey corner, | will probably be an established fact, | | it i3 said. The cost of obtaining the | | property about Kelsey corner is said | to be too high. It was the original | [ plan of the highway department to | |cut a ~oad through just beyond the | | McCrum residence, but Jwing to the ; | high cost of this, it i likely to be | discarded in favor of the straight- away highway so that traffic would | | be routed on the outside of the| |town. This would mean that the | | present road through Fast Berlin | | would not be rebuilt. E. S. Morgan Estate $13,061 The estate of the late Edgar .
