In one of the recent games between
the White Sox and the Giants which was
played in Portland. Greg. our own
Germany" Schaefer was very much
perturbed, yea, he was even vexed
nightly and carried q crouch for the
entire afternoon. when his usual stunt
Is to be a mirth provoker. The Dutch
mans acidity of manner was accelerated
greatly. due to the fact that his down.
| fall was accomplished by a trio OF Ma
tional Leaguers.
During the practice Dutch had
visited the blachers, made hit witt
| them and things looked promising for
a large afternoon with ''Schaef' occupy
ing the leading role. He fulfilled his part
well and was pulling some of his best
stun when the blow fell which took all
the life out Of him Upon his first occa-
| sion at bat Fromme shot one over which
Billy Klein called a strike. Schaefer, as
suming his Umpiresque pose turned to
the stands. upraised one finger and
| shouted, strike one" The same thing
| occurred when ball one" was called.
At this junctue. wingo. who was catch
ing, walked out towards Fromme and
held short conversation with him.
Fromme shot over a curve which Ger
many missed. Dutch" wheeled in the
batter's box to announce to the fans that
] there were two strikes on him and that
he was going to pickle the next one for
a double. When he turned around
j Umpire Klein was waving him to take his
| seat on the bench. having declared him
out on strikes. While Dutch had been
making his speech. Fromme had shot a
quick return over the plate, for third
strike.
Germany was mad clear through and
had to stand much of the stun which he
! usually hands out during a game. Wingo.
Fromme, and Klein. and in fact all the
players enjoyed the Dutchman's rawlings.
| for it was the first time that any one in
the party had emerged on top after hav-
ing had a set-to with the German.
Jesse Lednum, foreman of the press
tation from his old schoolmate. Home
run Frank Baker. to join in a duck
hunting trip on the Eastern Shore OF
Maryland.
Can it be that the athletes Of West
Point and Annapolis, where we are ac-
customed to suppose are gathered some
of the finest specimens of physical man
I hood by the very nature of the severe
physical examination that every candi-
date for admission must pass, are less
sturdy and less rugged than those in
the other institutions of learning in this
country? At Annapolis. the superintend-
ent of the United States Naval Academy
some little time ago ruled that no navy
crew should be permitted to race over
| a distance longer than the Henley route
Of a mile and some hundred yards, thus
preventing the navy from ever competing
| again at Poughkeepsie, where Cornell.
Syracuse. Pennsylvania, and several 9TH
er colleges row their annual four-mile
race. And now comes a statement from
Col Townley. superintendent of the West
Point Academy, In which he decries
football as too rough. and declares that
| the game serves no useful purpose In
the physical development or training Of
| the corps.
Fred Clarke, managing editor of the
Pittsburgh club. was on a hunting trip
the other day, and the subject OF hit
ters in the major leagues came up for
discussion. Fred was asked TO give his
| opinion as to who was the best He
did not lose much time in answering
that question. willie Keeler was the
best" said Clarke IT remember how
we played for him only to be fooled
with those little short chops over the
infield."
