while pitching on a professional
team at Garrison. n. D.. and Is drag
eing down the princely stipend OF
SEQ a month as member of the
Superior Wisconsin club.
That Is the amount stipulated In
the contract to, which Schauer at
tached his name several months back
and II required considerable decker
ing upon the part of the phenomenal
twirler to even secure that amount.
It is only four months ago since

not pay his own training camp ex-
penses, the club not being willing to
invest that much cash In him as a
possible twirier. He will report to
the Giants on August 18th.

the Gospel His father. stanch
German Lutheran, was inclined to the
ministry as profession for his
sterling son. and the son, always
obliging, consented to try it. He
spent two years in theological semi
nary and then, being successful in
proving quite conclusively to his faith

announced he had pitched only eleven
games of professional baseball.
Schauer first attracted the attention

held in bonds of $4,000 by Municipal
Judge Courtney in Chicago yesterday
