amateur Notes

| nNE of the most energetic young
~ shortstoDs in this city is seen in
Ellis Schaefer, who at present Is af-
1iliated with the r. G. Dun nine, which
won the first half championship of the
Main Line League. Like all other ambi-
tious amateurs, Schaefer has visions Of
even greater conquests. meaning, of
course, a chance under the big tent. The
goal is far away. It's true. but then the
object is there. and that is what really
counts.
The youth in question possesses only
one grievance, and that is that he is not
being used regularly. The team, when
he reached ii, was travelling in fault
less style, and as everyone knows a good
lineup should never be broken up. True,
Schaefer several times got into action,
once at third base and again in the
u,field. but what he wants is the steadv
play. Which brings experience at first
Land.
He first played with the Germantown
High School team. and in this setting
shone especially. Then Manager Lomas,
OF Towanda. took him over, but that
team was shortly afterwarl dsbanded
VwiCg to war conditions Schaefer has
already earned the reputation of being
dependable, and must now acquire the
name Of being "a bit better" His hit
ting. which formerly was his chief weak
ness, has greatly improved this saeson,
and before long he should surprise his
friends.
