There was Germany Schaefer,
the original comic partner OF
Nick Altrock. All, those long,
rainy days at Characteristics
training camps would have
been dull indeed without the
likes of Dutch" Schaefer.
Too, there was and still is Alt
trock himself, who came here
in 1912 with Clark Griffith and
who will remain so long as
Griff survives. There is a case
of baseball blood being thick,
indeed.
There also was and is Al
Schacht. If he and Nick
weren't plain ounces, they have
enough talent between them to
cash in heavily. AS it is they
don't speak-not even in their
field pantomime.
Jim Shaw, the clubs erst-
while biggest eater, worst
pitcher and butt of every joke
ever perpetrated around the
Washington clubhouse nearly
two decades ago, was a bless
ing in disguise to the team in
the days when sense of
humor was its only saving
grace.
Jim once went rabbit hunt

Lou Gehrlg is having a phenome-
nal year for the fading forces of
Joe Mccarthy. He has batted in
1872 runs so far and may go on to
pass the ITS mark for the year.
This is not a record, but it is a
lot of runs just the same. The
major league mark for runs bat
ted in is 100, hung up by Hack
Wilson in 1880. Gehrig's best
year is 1874 runs in 1881. Gehrig
batted in ITS runs in 1927 and
174 in 1880.
Gehrig was always a great run
producer because he hit fourth
behind Ruth, with a great lead-off
man like Earle Combs heading the
hig parade of Yankee hitters. In
eight out of his ten years with the
Yankees Combs hit over 300. His
ten-year average is 1927. He drew
many bases on balls. Ruth was
forever and always on base and
drew more bases on balls than
any other man in baseball.

Janet felt relieved, grateful, almost
happy again. She left her platform
and went to raise a window higher.

lay a folded note addressed simply

His face had cruel expression;
and she recalled an old painting she
had once seen of the burning Of a
witch in Salem, and of the pale, in
tense Puritan countenances lit up by
the flames of the bonfire in the midst
of which a woman writhed. The
thought crossed her mind that she
would be glad when Berenice ceased to
be the ward Of this man.
Meanwhile the object of this wish
sat in the third schoolroom and lis

He led the way to a room which
Janet thought gloomy in the extreme;
but 1t was well stocked with books,
which Payne examined eagerly. Then
they went to their respective class

They seemed to be nice boys and girls;

Janet was unaccountably nervous,
