RUBE SCHAUER. a young Giant
 pitcher whose absence from the mound during the 1914 season was commented on by New York fans, is one of the strange problems of base ball. Schauer has everything except ing knowledge of National league bats men-in fact, it has been reported among the players of the league that Rube doesn't know the players of op- posing teams. According to members of the Pittsburg team, one of the fa- vorite diversions of Giants opponents last season has been in getting Schauer game with Pittsburgh Mike Mowrey, then at third base for the home team, was having an exceptionally good day. One of the Pirates passing Schauer casually remarked, FArlie Latham is eating 'em up out there today Re- peated on the Giants bench this caus- ed an uproar and possibly delayed Schauer's entrance into the game as a

MAKES WILD PITCH, BREAKS ARM AND LOSES CLOSE GAME IN ONE

THROW A BOSHER,S RECORD.
 DITCHER ED ALBERS of the Holy Cross team of the WaIther league of St Louis has the unhappy distinc ton of having pulled one of the queer est plays ever seen on a, baseball sdia- mond in a, recent game with the Elm mas team of the same league.
 The teams had battled through eight close innings, and in the last half of the eighth, with the Emmas team at bat and two men out, Pitcher A1bers weakened enough to allow a batter to single. While Albers was fighting the next batsman the man on first stole second. A1bers and the batter finally worked the count up to three and two. and Albers, determined to prevent a, next ball he threw. Spectators were mortified to hear a snap as the ball left Albers' fingers, and a moment later the sphere flew into the grand stand, a hopeless wild pitch. The man on base scored easily from second. A1bers made no effort to run to the plate to possibly head off the run. He had tainted dead away on the field.
 Players rushed to him and found that lis right arm was dangling useless. A physician was summoned from the grand stand and found that AIbers' arm was fractured just above the e1- bow He had made a wild pitch into the stand, broken his arm and lost the game, all in one throw. Albers' team was unable to count in the next in ming and the score stood 8 to T.

WILL REFUSE TO RECOGNIZE

A CCORDING to report which is
 going the rounds in the west, five of the American league club owners are opposed to any sort of a compro- mise being arranged with the Federal league. Charley Comiskey of the White Sox is said to be the most pronounced scrapper in the American league camp, and he is being backed by Frank Ma v1n of Detroit and Joe Lannin of Bos- ton. while Hedges of St. Louis and Mi nor of the Washington club also are believed to be standing behind Comis- key.
 The National league, because of the remarkable spurt of the Braves. did not lose as much money as the Ameri- can league in which the Athletics se- cured prohibitive lead early in the campaign. hence is not worrying much about the Feds.

GILMORE A SAMARITAN Is WHAT
 THEY THINK,

SOME folks are asking President Gll- more what he's going to. do with the players whose places VIII be taken next year by the men Gilmore claims to have signed up secretly for tho FederaIs. They point out how terrl bly cruel. unfair, uulind and traitor ous it will be Of Gilmore to release the players who haven't made good sDoesn't Gilmore owe those fellows something?', is asked. They went to the Feds at the first call. They have remained loyal to the Feds.''
 There seems nothing wrong in GIL more's plan to release the players who haven't made good. They have been paid for their services. They knew when they went to the Federals they would have to take a chance with the rest, and while with the Fedss they have been paid well for their services. Most Of them have drawn more from the Federal exchequers in one year than they would have drawn fu organ ized baseball In two or three years.

 The match would be more interesting if Hoppe could settle down and try to play the English game according to English method instead of trying to employ the balk line tactics on that English pasture known as table.
 Thus far Hoppe has shown little at the game because he has not studied 1t out and worked it up according to English methods of play. When he does we stand ready to predict that he will beat Inman at his own game. No other such handler of the cue as Hoppe has ever been developed. h. mans failure at balk line is even more complete than that of Hoppe at the English game.

POOR YEAR FOR SMALL BASE.
 BALL LEAGUES

THE season of the minor baseball
 leagues now closed has been a hiv- yer from the viewpoint of the box of- flee. With few exceptions, the clubs in the little leagues have had bad year of it financially. A few of the cham pionslip teams show balance on the right side of the ledger. but by far the greater number have lost money on the season. Gate receipts generally have shown falling off.
 Added to this has been the fact that the minor leagues have developed very few players this season who could be sold to the major leagues. This nat uraIly has caused a considerable slump in the minors, bank rolls. Altogether it has been a tough struggle for the s'bushersa to keep their heads above water.

Instead of pruning the stipends the various leagues con tinue to boost them-the major and minor under the protection of organ ized baseball and under long term con- tracts, while the Federa1s, in their efforts to corral the stars of organized baseball, are still holding out huge purses to the flclxle.

A USTRALLAN oarsrnen writing to IA friends in this country express
 keen regret that the Harvard univer-

 challenge cup at Henley, could not ac-
 cept the invitation to row at the Hen Iley-on-Y ara regatta. It was hoped to have the Americans enter for the
 grand challenge or the stewards cups.
 Australian rowing enthusiasts take great pride in the Yarra regatta, which lis an annual fixture and takes place in what might truthfu ully be called the Australian spring.
 Since it's inception the function has
 grown steadily in popularity and is now witnessed by a tremendous gath attends the Remington race course on Melbourne cup day. This latter draws

 Since the Australians won Henley in 1912 the Yarra regatta authorities have endeavored to inpart an international
 aspect to the affair and recently tried. but unsuccessfu1ly, to induce both crews to compete. It is hoped that
 within a year or two the famous crews 1 of both the United States and England
 may be persuaded to make theis long l trip, as the Davis cup tennis teams

 Detroit for years has been famous for the class of it's outhelders. Back in the flag winning days the Tigers had four men in Cobb. Crawford. Jones and Mcintyre, and these four men usu- ally ,batted over the 300 mark. Mo Intyre left first; Jones followed him a year later. Then there were predic- tions outside of Detroit that the reign of Jennings gardeners had been brought to an end.
 Manager Hughie, however unearthed Bob Veach, and the son of the Hoosier State picked up almost where Jones and Mcintyre had left off. Although an enviable reputation as a slugger and a batter who delivers when hits are needed.

 It is reported, although the report has not been confirmed, that Heinie has more neckties than Charley Mur- phy, once the boss of Heinie But, nc matter how many ties Chubby Charley has, the fact remains that Heinie has enough to stock up four haberdashery shops and still have left enough tc make into a stout rope that could be used in emergency to hang umpires-
