It's poor day when "Germany" doesn't pull off some funny stunt In fact his antics have become so much ft part of the Detroit mode of play that if he is unusually quiet in any certain game the fanatics go home rather disap pointed. , One of . tho recent games between the Tigers and the Cleveland brought to light some of the comedian' best humor. The diamond was wet and the game was deferred some three- quarters of no hour while tbe efficient ground keeper massaged and Ironed the surface of the lot Th players, not being able to practice In the con- enlent manner, took recess as an oc casion for fun. 1 Schaefer had been working near the third base coaching line, and the bngs that Inhabit that portion of the stands had been having some fun with him. Schaefer saw a chance to get even, so he borrowed a camera, squinted through tho view finder, requested the populace to look pleased and prepared to make a photograph. As a matter of fact Schaefer knew about as much concerning the taking of ft picture as a Zulu does about Lat in, but he went through with the Joke. Some of the time tbe fanatics were standing up and grinning in great shape, no doubt expecting the papers of the coming morning to contain a huge view by "Germany Schaefer, photographer." Needless to say, the photo was never printed. One of bis favorite stunts la to coach at first base when that station is occu pied and a run is necessary for Tiger success. On such occasions the actions of Schaefer are worth the price of ad mission. He runs about in a circle, and no mad dog ever had anything on kirn. His run more closely resembles a hot loot than anything else. After the Inst game Detroit had in Cleveland Schaefer sprinted after May or Tom L. Johnson's auto, clambered aboard and rode to his hotel in style. It is not known how he halted his hon or's gasoline gig, but it would not be at all surprising if he yelled, "Hey, Tom, old scout, wait a minute and give a fellow a lift!" With all his kidding and funmaking. Schaefer is never offensive; he never gets off anything that hurts, and he Is a gentleman at all times. Schaefer plays ball Just as he "kids" for all he Is worth. A few men like him on every ball club would do a lot toward keeping down strife and Jealousy and In promoting a good feeling. The fans like him; he is a good scout Arlle Latham may have been the klnir bee Josher, but he had to go some to have anything on Schaefer.

He gets the balls, no matter how they are thrown on the Inside, outside or any old side. Base ball critics who have seen his work say it is a pleasure to watch tbe way be goes about things. He makes hard plays look easy. Chase was born in 1884 at Los Ga tos, Cal., but he now makes his home In San Jose. Hal started to get busy with the great game at Alvlso, where there was no chance of bis being no ticed. No one would ever think that Chase made quite a hit as a pitcher. Once it looked as if he would make ft success as a slabman. In 1904 Man ager Morley of the Los Angeles club signed Chase, and right here is where he made a big hit on the diamond. He was unknown, but it was not long before he was the talk of the state of California. At the end of the 1904 season he was drafted by tbe New Tork Americans. It was a great draft He bad no sooner put on the uniform and gathered them up around first base when be was stamped as one of the greatest of first basemen, in the major leagues. Chase plays ball practically all the year around, and while playing in California It does not make much dif ference to him as to what position he is in. He has covered short In Los Angeles and has played that position welL RIP VAN WINKLE housands of Testimonials From Grate ful Persons Prove This YOUR MONEY BACK IP IT FAILS U A NTI-CORPU" is absolutely the greatest discovery in medicine for reducing FAT.
