What was the funniest play you ever saw on a baseball field?" was the ques- ton I put to Herman Schaefer, hero of thousand diamond comedies. r Schaefer answered.
 "It happened few years ago-with Nick Altrock as the victim. Every year after the close of the regular baseball season I indulge in transforming trips with some semi-pro teams and that was the season when Nick decided to be- come my teammate on the Jersey City club, manag ged by Dave Driscoll.
 ''On the Sunday in question we played . New York semi-pro team at the old Bronx oval in New York city. During the first seven innings I served as the first baseman and Nick did the pitching. The score was to in our favor at the end of the seventh, when I went over to Nick and we put on little comedy in the vicinity of the box. I accused Nick of being a bum pitcher and told him was going to teach him how moundsman should conduct himself. So chased Nick over to first base. where he took up my former duties and 1 I went into the box.
 Paul Kritchell, present manager of the Bridgeport, Conn., team in the Eastern league was catching for the Bronx team that day and was the first batter te face me. Kritchell landed on my opening offering and drove the ball far down into the left field corner. That spot oi the enclosure is peoped largely by rocks of all sizes and all descriptions. And the ball went into the rock pile.

money So it was a peclrnary reason that brought over Nick, to his ultimate sorrow.
 Nick had just arrived on the fringe of the crowd when something hit him in the mouth and floored him for the full count. It was the baseball that Schwartz finally had found ill the rocks and which he had thrown into the diamond. Everybody up to that time had figured that really had the baseball in my hand.

 Gus Schwartz our left fielder, rushed out to the rock pile in an effort to re- trieve the ball. About two seconds aft CT he began mad scramble among the rocks he threw something toward third base which resembled a baseball. I had rushed over to back up third and as the throw was wild the supposed base ball went over the third baseman's head and I caught it. Instead of being a baseball it was a rock about the size of a baseball Without letting on that I had caught a rock. instead of the baseball, I rushed toward the bag and just as Kritchell was sliding in I dove on top. tagged him with the pebble and then roared to the umpire:

 q started to walk away as baseman usually ooes who tries to fake a put out, but IIritchell refused to consider himself out. He jumped up and down on the bag and gesticulated in wild fashion, whereupon the umpire closed in and made some sort of ruling. Just what it was no one knew. because of the hcwling of the crowd and the added tumuls created by Kritchell and my self and the players of both teams, who had hustled over and joined the argu- ment.
 While this was going on. Altrock, thinking I might get killed in the ar gument, hopped over. figuring i might need his help in a free-for-al fracas. Of course a lot of people thought that Nick came over merely out of pure friendship for me. But that's wrong.

No Lost Cause' ,

From Leslie's.
 i United! The analogy in military way between the European war and our civil
 war has frequently been pointed out. and occasionally there has come objection from southern quarters to certain infer
 ences. Nothing Is more deplorable than the drawing of sectional lines. Our par ticipation in the present war is destined l to obliterate all sectional lines a process which began when the civil war ended. Colonel Watterson, editor of the Louis l vile Courier Journal and the south's
 most capable champion, says rightly that the south occupies as strong a place in | the union as it ever occupied. He pro- | tests against the mournful spirit that | speaks of the Confederacy as "a lost
 cause" The south did not lose. but won,
 as the result of the civil war. Northern capital poured into the south and helped develop it's rich iron fields and to re- habilitate it's ports. Appreciating the l lmitless riches of the soil. the south has
 established it's supremacy in corn and cot ton. No part of the country offers today

 krew that I had thrown it and wien he found out what hit him he quickly jumped into the crowd of players and ruled Kritchell safe, explaining that l had tagged him with a brick.
 But that decision didn't satisfy Kritchell nor any of his team mates. They claimed the runner should be all lowed to go home as his hit was worth a four-bagger owing to the fact that the ball hadn't been recovered until lt or 15 seconds after he had been tricked into holding third base. Our team de- murred at this and another hot argu- ment followed. The matter finally was adjusted by permitting Kritehell to stay on third base and luckily the side was retired without Kritchell scoring and we shut them out in the two following in- nings. winning the game, 4 to 5.
