The Batteries
Horace A. Eller, the “shine ball”
pitcher*was born at Muncie, Ind., in
1894. He began playing baseball with
the Champaign, 111., club in 1913. The
next spring he went to Danville, 111.,
and from there to Moline, 111., where
he played two years. In 3916 he went
to the White Sox on trial, but was re
turned to Moline late in April. He
joined the army on the Mexican bor
der, was reinstated in baseball in
September, and drafted by Cincinnati.
This is his third year „with the Feds,
and his best. In May he pitched a
no-hit game against the Cardinals.
William A. Rariden, catcher, was
born at Bedford, Ind., in 1888, and
broke into professional baseball
twelve years ago with the Canton,
tlhio, Central League club. After
?,atching for three years there he was
sold in August, 1909, to the Boston
Nationals, where he remained for four
^ears, when he jumped to the Federal
League in 1914 and played wi,th in
lianapolis, and later with Newark,
^.fter the disbanding of the Federal
League Rariden was bought by the
*
New York Giants, with whom he re
mained for the next three years,
catching in the world’s series of 1917
against the White Sox. Last winter
the Reds obtained him in a trade for i
Hal Chase. He is behind the plate :
when left-handed pitchers are on the 1
mound. He has been hitting hard.
Claude Williams, one of the best
left-handed pitchers in the American
League, was unfortunate today in not
receiving proper support. This wras
his second game of the series.
J. Erskine Mayer, who relieved Will- j
iains, was obtained by the White Sox j
only a few months ago via the waiver
route from the Pittsburgh Nationals.
He is a “side-arm” pitcher and is
about 30 years old. His home is in
Philadelphia.
Ray C. Schalk, catcher, is one of
the most important cogs in Gleason’s
machine. He is the first string catcher
and has played in almost every game
this season. Baseball critics declare
him to be the best receiver in the
American League. He is a hard
worker, a wonderful general and judge
of batsmen and plays, and his work in
steadying pitchers and infielders has
earned for him much praise. Schalk
broke into baseball as a member of a
team at Taylorville, 111. Later he
joined the Milwaukee American As
sociation club, and from there came to
the major league as a member of the
White Sox eight years ago. He was
born at Harvey, 111., in 1892, is mar
ried, and lives at Litchfield, 111. He
bats and throws right-handed.
Byrd Lynn, catcher, is playing his
fourth year with the White Sox. He
bats and throws right-handed. Lynn
was born in 1S91 at IJnionville, 111.,
where he now lives. He is married.
In 1913 Lynn began playing baseball
•at Sacramento, Cal., and later went to
the Salt Lake club of the Pacific Coast
League, from which organization he
came to the Chicago club. During the
war Lynn went to work in the ship
yards, but after hostilities ceased he
reported to Manager Gleason.
