RUBE SCHAUER’S REAL NAME

Dimitri Ivannovitch Dimitrihoff is the Way He Signs Cognomen on-Le-gal Documents. Rube Schauer, late of the Giants and Louisville, and now selected by the Athletics for 1917 labors, had to sign some papers with his real name the other day and sign them in about a dozen places. As Mr. Schauer’s legal name is Dimitri Ivannovitch Dimitrihoff, most of the day elapsed before all the formalities were completed. Schauer and JakeGettman, formerly a big league outfielder, are probably the only Russians in professional ball. Gettman’s Russian name is. said to have been so long they never even tried to spell it. ,
