DAUBERT WAS PITCHER
Mere Accident Put Him in Lime
light as Star Infielder.
Couldn't Play in Cleveland Because
George StovalI Was In His Prime
Ranks Among Three Best
Initial Sackers of Country. 81

1t is not generally known that Jake
Daubert. wonderful first baseman of
the Brooklyn Dodgers, was once a
pitcher. Only a mere accident put him
in the limelight as an intieldsr of class.
Eight years ago Daubert lived in
Llewellyn, Pa, a mining town. He
worked during the week and played
ball Saturdays and Sundays. In those
days he was better recognized as an
expert trap shooter than ball play
er. He was one of the best shots in
the state of Pennsylvania, and still fol-
lows this sport when opportunity
comes.
Four towns In the mining district
conceived the idea of organizing a
baseball league, and several college
players were imported to help out.
Daubert was signed to pitch for the
Lykens team. Things went along fair
ly well until one day two balls were
being used in practice. The first
Daseman turned towards the outfield
to receive a throw and was hit in
the face by ball hurled across the
diamond by the third sacker. The
man was laid out for some time and
was unable to play that day.
In his quandary the manager turned
to Daubert, who wasn't slated to pitch
that day Jake played a wonderful
game, and from that time has won
a first baseman's mitt. The league
broke up soon after and Daubert
joined the Marion, O., squad as a reg
ular infielder. From there he went to
Cleveland, but George Stovall was in
his prime and there was little DOING
for Jake.
Next he was shipped to Kansas City,
but refused to report. The result was

ing that by reserving their energy
they will be able to prolong their
baseball careers. Well, such is far
from being the ease. Instead the re-
verse happens more frequently.
Look at Ty Cobb, for instance.
Does Ty get hurt frequently? If he
does you hear Of 1t. Yet who is there
to deny that Cobb takes many long
chances?
"In my estimation Wagner is the
greatest ball player not only of the
day, but of all times. When he passes
/ doubt If we will ever see his equal.
In all-around playing, in batting, field
ing, base running, head work, In every
possible respect on the diamond, Wag-
ner is as good as any Of them. Granted
that Cobb and Lajoie are his equals in
playing ability, Wagner surpasses
them when you consider disposition,
which is one quality of a ball player
not to be overlooked. Wagner is the
easiest man to handle on or off the
field that / ever met anywhere, and
it is that that makes him the greatest
ball player of all times"

Jake Daubert.

his release to Memphis, and he led the
Southern league in hitting that year.
His fame has grown so fast that both
New York and Brooklyn put in drafts
for him. The Dodgers won, and Dau-
bert has been with that squad ever
since.
Critics differ regarding Daubert, but
the general impression is he ranks
among the three best first basemen
in the countryside trio being "Stuf-
fly" McInnis of the Athletics; HAL
Chase of the Buffeds, and Daubert.
Daubert admits that the accident to
the first sacker in that Lykens prac-
tice made him what he is today.

ing Good, but Rowing Fever
Got the Best of Him.

On May 4th, 1915, the st. Paul Farm
er's Dispatch contained a very inter
esting account of the experiences of q
man from Staples, MINI. Realizing
that he was not making much head
way, he decided to look up q home

his wife took up a homestead near
Outlook, Saskatchewan. After recount
Ing his experiences Of few years, In
which they had undergone hardships
which were likely to be unavoidable,
with a small amount of capital, he
continues the story by stating that
In the fall after fair summers work
on his 100 acres cropped, he cleaned
up nearly all his debts, having now
four good horses. a complete set of
farm machinery including two wagons
and Swell top buggy and eleven
head Of cattle. He continues, "How-
ever, was not satisfied. had been

here and getting settled, what money
we had did not go far. We have three
horses, about all the implements we
need, and a little better buildings
than we had on our former place. We
have no cattle, though we had to build

They say Hans Wagner is going
back" said Fred Clarke, Pittsburgh
manager. "If he is, wish l only had
eight more like him who are going
back. That big Dutchman looks good
for many more seasons yet, and if he
isn't in there playing at the same old
stride that he is now showing, when
some of the youngsters in the big
leagues are drifting tn the minors,
lose my guess"
What is the secret of Wagner's
longevity" was asked.
For a second the Pirate leader sat
silent, and then answered:
"The reason that Hans Wagner has
lasted so long and bids fair to be one
of the most prominent ball players for
some time to come is because he does
not try TO save himself. He doesn't
try to conserve his energy, but is
playing for all he is worth at all times.
That is why Hans Wagner has lasted
such length of time.

nevertheless it is so. Too many ball
players try to save themselves. hop

In the morning we also learned that
the engine of the second aeroplane
had been so damaged by the gun fire
that the machine was forced to come
down in the public garden at the ex-
IRENE north end of the city, near the
arsenal
On landing it struck a tree. The
pilot was thrown out and had both
legs broken, but the officer accompany
ing him was uninjured. He was imme-
diately arrested and discovered to be
renegade Venetian, from a very
prominent family of the city. He for
merly had been an officer in the Ital
ian navy and stationed for several
years at the Venice arsenal. Through
a fast life in the navy he got deeply
in debt, resigned from the service and
went to Germany, where he engaged
in business.
With the outbreak or war he enlist.

invaluable personal knowledge of Ven
ice caused him at once to be detailed
as observer attached to the Austrian
air feet designed to attack the city.
Within an hour after his capture he
was court-martialed and shot as a
traitor to his country. Before his
death he begged the officer in com.
rhand of the shooting squad to notice
that he had strictly followed his or
ders, made no attempt to destroy life
or art treasures in the city itself and
simply dropped bombs upon the
