confirm -the decision In the case of
"Wastrel" va. TBaby Eell." with refer
ence to the rata held at last Astoria
regatta, and i
Whereas, Tide circumstances- and
facts brought Out in this hearing con
firm in full tHe contention that the
Wastrel" was lax in filing Its protest,
. that the particnlar racing Instructions
upnn which thi decision was immedi
ately based if (riven at all were given
by unauthorized parties, and that a
fair consideration of all the facts and
circumstances (of the race should be
sufficient to Show that the decision
should have gqine to the "Baby Bell"
or at least the race should have been
ordered re-run.
Whereas, The; attitude of the contest
ant and racings boards were not ' such
at any time as to reflect a spirit of
fairness or ofj good fellowship or
sportsmanship that should prevail and
Is Vitally necessary to the success of
the sport of wio tor boat racing. There
fore, be it , ' ' x
' Resolved, by the Portland Motor Boat
club that it considers the decision as
cited unfair arid unjust to Its entry,
the "Baby Bell'1;; in view of all circum
stanced connected with the case .and
the attitude of the board of appeal,
that the best interest of the Portland
Motor Boat club, thf good of its mem
bers,, the promotion, of the sport of
motorboat racing, .can be better pro
tected and secured If the said club sev
er its connection with the Pacific In
ternational Power.Boat association, and

New York. May , 4. -Shortly after
"Germany Schaefer was let out by
the Washington Senators last winter,
"Germany" and Charles Weeghman,
owner of the Chicago Feds, had a lit
tle confab. 1 . - . ,
"I'd like" to have you on my team,"
said Weeghman.
"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
