RTHUR SHAFER is known pro-
n fessionaly as "Temperamental
L A Tillie," and he is rated high
among the temperament boys in the
big leagues, Of whom there are plenty.
He wears this temperament for a bus
tie, and, If anyone steps on it, you
can't tell what he may do. He is as
uncertain as loose mercury
For instance, once Shafer left the
Giants sprawled all out flat when he
went to Japan to teach the college boys
over there how baseball was played.
Then he Joined again, and only last
winter he decided he wouldn't have
anything more to do with the big
league because certain persons insisted
on sending him perfumed notes, and
they didn't pick his favorite brand. Fol-
lowing the cologned letters incident
he was finally prevailed upon to open
all his mail outdoors and rejoin the
club.
Then, all of a sudden, in the middle
Of the present season. he packed up his
automobile, which could not go slow
enough to avoid breaking the New
York speed laws, and disappeared.
Word came that he had left for Cali
fornia because the New York CELEBRITY
regulations sdid not suit him, and he
was tired of turning his salary over to
some magistrate who plastered fines
on him faster than McGraw does on a
bad actor"

Jeff Clarke, of Joplin, No. and Harry
Wills, Of New Orleans, will probably
hold the boards in the initial show OF

there until next summer. when the
bull ring will again be used as the set

The concession which the officials
of the Juarez A. c. now hold, permit
ting boxing shows to be staged in the
state of Chihuahua, expires on October
5, although efforts will without doubt,
be made to extend il, as shown when
the matchmaker booked the Halford-
Duffey welterWeight battle for October

inside of a month, it is believed, and
be ready in ample time for the open
ing show on Thanksgiving night.
Up to the Herrick-Gordon 80 round
contest, boxing did not pay in Juarez
because of the large expenditure which
the promoters had to make to stage
show The receipts of this fight put
the club on a firm basis, however. The
Gage-MantelI bout also drew a large
crowd and the officials feel that If
they can secure an arena of their own,

Shafer decided to finish college and
played on the same team with Fred
Snodgrass. the center fielder OF the
Giants, at st. Vincent's-
After Snodgrass had gained a foot
hold on the Giants in 1908, he boosted
his pal and brother native son to Nc
Graw, who sent Shafer a contract and
ordered him to report for spring prac-
tice in 1909 The boy showed remark
able speed from the first and could
easily outrun any of the players on the
squad. If there is one thing McGraw
admires in a ballplayer, it is speed, so
Shafer struck when the other recruits
were weeded out that spring. He got
a chance to play at shortstop regularly
last season, but was replaced by
Fletcher when he was forced to go to
California on account of the death Of
his mother.
Shafer has been a regular on the
team all this season, playing in three
positions, and has hit the ball hard
and timely. His one drawback as a
player is his Indifference, which ap-
