COMEDY FOR BASEBALL FANS

President of'San Francisco Would Hire Nick Altrock and Others to Amuse Spectators. « After-wor fashions will give us a lot of fiew things In many endeavors and it will bring new things into professional baseball, too. Take the idea of Dr. Charles H. Strub, president of the San Francisco club of the Pacificcoast league, as an example. The doctor wants comedy and “a little jazz in the game. Here’s what.be suggests: “If I have my way we will instill a little jazz into baseball out this way next season. I want men like Nick Altrock, Germany Schaefer and young Sawyer, real baseball comedians, in the league to put a little life into the sport If I can I will get one and possibly two of these men for the local club to do utlHty roles And furnish some fun for the fans. The games here last yeas were too dead. I want a fighting ball club and a noisy one.” ■
