He hoped to stretch the record to an even dozen, then rest on his laurels, How-! ever, a series of injurigs have practically killed his chance. Schalk has passed the peak of his game Ye: of hard work have taken their toll.| The wonder catcher of the White Sox admits it, “T guess 100 games is a little too much for me now,” says Ray, “but if I ever get my hands in good shape again there is no tell- ing what I might be able to do.” By At present Schalk is playing with three| badly injured fingers on his throwing hand. Most catchers wouldn’t even don a uniform) under the circumstances, Schalk loves the game.

Ruth bids well to be the individ ual hero of the baseball world again this year, Last year he arned the distinction of being the most valuablo player to his team in the league. This year he is even more valuable. With a weak er team he is playing greater ball. Not only is Ruth slamming out |home runs with his accustomed fre- quency, but he is hitting timely jand consistently and is a good bet |to lead the league.
