trolt Americans, is about tbe most hu
morous fellow that ever broke in. 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.

saved many a game. He has stopped
tbe ball wben it looked as though it
was going over into the stands or
some other place. He gets the balls, no

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
