Shafer Mi Goinc Back.

There have been occasional ru- mors in New York that Art Shafer, the star third sackcr Of few sea- sons ago, is about to return to the Giants. These have usually appear ed at time when the Giants in- field was in need of help. But it's very unlikely that Shafer ever will return to the game He quit the game promptly when he announced that he was going to retire for good and it was clear that he meant it. Shafer was an unusual character in baseball, being one of the very few who only played for the fun of it. The youngster from California did not have to play. He knew he could quit whenever it tired him and that's what he did In 1913 Shafer beat Charlie Herzog out of his job at third and at time when Buck was playing his greatest game. Sha- fer may meyer play baseball again. but he will always be the one in a million among the ball players.

Frank Gotch, who is now at home with his broken ankle, is feeling well and is anxiously awaiting the removal of the plaster cast which will tell how well the fracture has knitted.
 Emil Klank, his old manager, is visiting him at present. Klank un- douttedly was the saddest man in America over Gotchs injury. The circus work had been rounding Gotch into old time shape and there is very little doubt but that he would have met Stecher this fall. Now it is doubtful if Gotch will ever wrestle again.
