"I have no objection," said "Ger many. " "What salary wuld yon wantT asked Weeghman. . '.'Six thousand dollars a year and a three year . contract," answered Schaefer, never cracking a smile. Weeghman nearly, collapsed, but re covered in time to say: ,"Why, the demand is exorbitant. You are about through as a ball play er and you wouldn't be worth -that to me as a coach." . "You seem to forget, sir, that I'm a comedian." answered Schaefer. "Richard Carle, Clifton Crawford, Raymond Hitchcock and those other alleged comedians get 86000 a month for their work. I am asking you for a mere 86000 for six months Just a matter of 3100 a month." "But I can't see the wisdom of pay ing out 86000 for an almost through ball player," answered Weeghman. "Lookit here, Mr. Weeghman," said Schaefer In a burst of confidence, "I ain't asking you for $6000 for my services aft a ball -player. I'm asking that for my services as a comedian. And, le'mme tell you,, for $6000 you get a rare bargain, because I'm as funny as h when I get started." Weeghman, didn't sign up Schaefer, but the Newark Federals did and it was a fino investment. Schaefer's un failing humor has kept the team In excellent spirits. . Whenever the men seem on the point of getting fretful or depressed, Schaefer comes to the fore, arid lets loose some side splitting remarks that save the day. . Furthermore, Schaefer has broken into the lineup quite regularly so far, and has played a great game in the outfield.- He always was a star fielder and always will be. And he has been hitting as well as he did when he was in his prima He's hot so fast on the bases as he was earlier in his career, but he has shown up as a val uable man to Aiave around for utility work, for Schaefer can play thef out field as well as the Infield. f . Schaefer is a drawing oard. Already be has won the hearts of the Newark hleacherltes, and hundreds of them go daily to the park not so much because the want to . see the ball game but because they want to see Schaefer perform a -few of his antics.
