"SPORTine'iiem* STARS IN WORLD'S SERIES WHO EXPECT TO FIGURE; THEIR BAS BY W. K. HOFFER RAYMOND W. SCHALK (Chicago White Sox.) He isn't very big—only 5 feet 9 inches tall and he scales barely ItiO pounds—yet he's called the greatest catcher in the business. Schalk has everything a catcher needs, excepting beef; and he seta along very nicely without that, thank you, because with his speed, aggressiveness, brains and grit, he has a pretty complete backstopping equip ment as it is. Jimmy Callahan, then man ager of the Sox, found out that this kid was the real thing in the catching line the day Ray joined the Sox, back in 1912. Comisky had purchased him from the Milwaukee club for the fancy price of $17,000, in cash and players and he came to the Windy City with a great minor league "rep." "We'll see what he's got," said Callahan, and stuck him behind the plate to catch Ed. Walsh. And although Walsh was one of the hardest pitchers to hold, with his spitter and tremendous speed. this kid recruit not only caught and handled the great Ed in perfect style, but did it af ter the second inning without signals, because Walsh had trouble in getting the signs from the backstop. That performance made Schalk solid with the entire Sox club and within two weeks the big leagues 'Aew that this Schalk bird wifs some catcher. Ray's judgment is remarkable, his throwing arm unusually ac curate and his "baseball sense'' in sizing up executing *plays is almost uncanny. He is a good deal of a crab on the playing field anij keeps after the batters continually with his chatter. On the bases, when the ave rage catcher is usually like a truck horse, this little livewire is a comparative speed mer chant. He stole 30 satchels last year, playing in 129 games and batting only .232. Some stealing, even for a base running star, what You said it. His hit ting isn't his strong point, but he stings the ball frequently in the pinches and has averaged .24 S with the Sox up to the pres ent season. Harvels. 111., is the birth place of this little whirlwind. He was born there August 12. 1592, and attended the grammar school and spent two years in high school there, leaving to learn the printer's trade. Ray played semipro ball for $2 per game until Taylorville gave him his first professional baseball con tract in 1911. Milwaukee bought him the same year and sold him to the Cox a year later. The Sox pitchers were lucky to have the "greatest catcher in the game" to work with this year. While McCarty is a really high •lass backstop, Schalk has it on him n defepsive work. The latter is mu ?h faster, has as good a throwing irm and is a quicker thinker. In at; ack, however, McCarty is greatly; • iuperior. He will outhit Ray over 3 ) points through a season's play.

McCARTY (New York Oiants.) John McGraw and a million or so other Giant rooters opine that Luried Lew McCarty car ries the class of the National League backstops when he dons his windpad and shin guards. But 'twis not always thus. Five years ago the Newark • bugs wanted McCarty sold, trad ed or canned, they didn't care which. That was because big Mac wasn't hitting the ball. He finished the season with a clout ing mark of only .182 for 32 games. The same fans, however, changed their opinions the fol lowing year. For Few pasted the old onion for an average of .359 and they called him the best catcher this side of Mars and to prove it. the management sold him to Brooklyn. If McCarty's showing last year is a sample of his real form, then the Giants have one of the best catchers who ever busted a fing er. He hit .339 in 80 games, handled both the Brooklyn and Giant twirlers with rare judg ment and skill, turned back a flock of speed merchants on the bases and by his masterly all 'round oachstop work looked like a million dollars. This big receiver first attract ed attention when he played semiprofessional ball with Dan ville, Pa., in 1909. He was rated then as an average catch er with a good whip and an un usually long hitter. In 1910 the Lancaster club signed him and McCarty continued his clugging to such an extent that the rattle of his war club was heard 'way over in Newark. He started with the latter club in 1911, was sold to Brooklyn in 1913 and last year, during tho heat of the pen nant race, the Dodgers traded him to New York for Merkle. The only excuse for the act, from Brooklyn's viewpoint, lay in the fact that Daubert was in jured and It was imperative that the Dodgers get an experienced first sacker immediately. As far as baseball value is concerned, the trade was a crime. Merkle was a slipping player and McCarty was coming like a house-afire. If McGraw could make a trade like that every day he's soon own the Na tional League, including the um pires and peanut privileges. McCarty is a Giant in fact as well as in name. He is o feet 11*9 inches tall, weighs 190 pounds and hasn't an ounce of superfluous flesh on his large frame. After being out a great part of the season with a frac tured ankle, he returned to the game recently in apparently good shape, which, if true, is welcome news to the Giant force. {^AMUSE]grMENTsjj[ MAJESTIC HAS j PLEASING BILL Plenty of Song and Fun on !

Mr. Ardath has a host of admirers in Harrisburg, who never fail to turn out and give liiin a warm welcome. As a comedian, he is tine, and his mere appearance on the stage is a signal for an outburst of. laughter. His latest comedy offering is one long, loud laugh and is herald ed as one of the best laugh producers in vaudeville.

Beautiful Evelyn Nesbit, former wife of Harry K. Thaw, is the star of "Redemption." the "Redemption" great photoplay tit the Colonial that opened a three-day engage ment at the Colonial Theater yester day. Miss Nesbit's son. little Russell Thaw, also appears in the picture. The story of "Redemption" is an intensely dramatic one. influenced to a great ex tent by facts. The star's life is vaguely suggested, and In the char acter she portrays, that of a woman who seeks to justify a misstep in her youth. Miss Nesbit is said to fulfill its purpose with heart-appealing convic tion. The love of her son is made the keynote of this remarkable photo drama. and at its climax the Record ing Angel, who balances the book of life, gives to mother love the great reward of redemption. A strong cast has been engaged to support the star in this production. The first cinema presentation of Robert Hlchens' Algerian story, "Bar bary Sheep." in Elsie Ferfnison'a which Elsis Fr "Uarbnry son made her at the Regent screen debut under Artcraft auspices, appeared at the Regent j Theater yesterday. The superb photoplay, which affords Miss Fergu son abundant opportunities for the display of her finished artistry, creat ed a profound impression and stamp ed the production as one" of the most notable of the current season. The production remains at the Regent to day and to-mornpw. The romantic story of Algeria tells of the infatuation of an English noble woman for a dark-skinned army of ficer and is charged with the heat, passion and swift action that befit a novel of this kind. For the big street scenes, 2,000 persons took part. In addition to its other merits. "Barbary Sheep" is undoubtedly one of the most lavish photo productions of the sea son. Luxurious sets, depict the elabo rate Algerian interiors. The last half of the week. Pauline Frederick will be presented in "Double-Crossed," a gripping story ot politics, love and intrigue. Ed. H.

Is Gilbert's son-in-law, George Mc- Clarin, of 1818 North Fifth street, an accomplice of Ensinger's, did he steal the tires without Ensinger's knowledge, or did he learn of the theft only after the police depart ment had notified the owner of the car to appear In police court? These are questions which have puzzled Alderman Landia and the police officials not a little during the past few daya. Yesterday after noon a third hearing was given En singer. He had accused young Mo- Clarin of the tire theft, and has has stoutly maintained his own in nocence, althwigh the evidence seems to be against him. Gilbert, who is a railroad flagman on the Middle divi sion of the Pennsylvania railroad, residing at 1904 North Sixth street, was In court aa a witness. Before the session was over, not only En singer, but McClarin and Gilbert, were held in the 6Uin of S3OO for an appearance at court. Did He or Didn't He?

Grafton Krebbs. a carrier for the Telegraph, saw occupants of a far remove a tire from a machine parked in Second street, and drive away with it.

He claims that Gilbert and McClarln told him that he could escape trouble If he would stick to the story they prepared for him. On the night when the tire was stolen from Second street, Ensinger had turned the car over to McClarin, who drove it for some hours. En singer claims that McClarln took the car at about 7.30 and did not return it to him until 11 that night. Mc- Clarin say that he had the machine a much shorter time, and says that when he turned the car over to En singer, he took a Jitney home. Three tires were stolen fr6m different parts of the city that evening. Gilbert and McClarin admit hav ing helped to place the tires on the machine. They say they do not know where the driver obtained them. Ensinger claims that he first saw the tires In the Gilbert garage, and that his employer removed the tire numbers with a knife and smoothed tho mutilated places over with a hot iron. McClarin is unable td tell who took him home, and cannot fix by witnesses the exact timo he surrendered up the car to Ensinger. It was brought out at the hearing yesterday that Gilbert is responsible for the upkeep of the car. Conse quently Is difficult to tlx a motive for the thefts, if Ensinger Is guilty. The "missing link" in the evidence is an automobile wheel. Gilbert says that Ensinger brought the wheel to the garage. Ensinger claims that Gilbert gave it to him, saying that he did not care to have it around the place, 'fhe driver took the wheel to his home. Enslnger's aged moth er, it is said, will swear that Gil bert came to her home and urged her to destroy the wheel by burning It. Who lost an automobile wheel, and under what conditions? Perhaps an answer to this question will help to fix the responsllTlllty for subse quent thefts. Schuylkill May Test Ballot Law Judge H. O.
