COMEDY FOR BASEBALL FANS


After-war fashions will give us lot
of new things In many endeavors and
It will bring new things into profess
sional baseball, too. Take the idea Of
DIR. Charles II. Strub. president Of the
San Francisco club OF the Pacific coast
league, as IN example. The doctor
wants comedy and "a little jazz" In the
game. Here's what he suggests:
"If I have my way we will instill
little jazz into baseball out this way
next season. I want men like Nick
Altrock. Germany Schaefer and young
Sawyer, real baseball comedians, In
the league to put little life into the
sport. If can will get one and pos
sibly two of these men for the local
club to do utility roles and furnish
some fun for the fans. The games
here last year We're too dead. I want

GOLF PROFESSIONAL HONEST

Thereupon another member re-

about his scores that every time he
goes out to play he has to try to equal
those figures. Hence he Is continual

worse and worse.
"He Is living breathing example
of the value of honesty In the game.

matter to the gobs. He was signed
up by proxy to battle Borrell.
On returning to the vessel Nearing
