GUE Jake Daubert, Brooklyn Nationals ‘HERE probably is no more likeable fel- low wearing the spangles in the big show to-day than Jake Daubert, the hus- ting and hard-hitting first sacker of the Brooklyn Dodgers. While Jake is all ear- nestness on the diamond, he likes a bit of fon after the day's work and enjoys hear- ing or telling a funny story. Here is one of his yarns: ‘‘A few years ago, at the time Hans Wagner was hitting ’em a mile aminute, we had a rather nifty youngster with us, who was trying to get the regular He was just from the tall r with the strong pints and peculi ies of many of the National League stars. When we worked in our first game against the Pirates, I saw this | okie was playing very deep for Wagner. “*Get in there!’ I shouted. ‘This fellow will bunt on you.” “The youth moved in toward third just | asHans caught an outcurve and hooked the tall toward the shortstop. It was going like a bullet, and as the player stuck out tis hands, it struck his fingers and bounced of into the field. The pellet almost snashed the fellow's digits, his hand began gelling, and he had a sore-looking mitt when he started for the bench. “Call that a bunt?’ he asked, as we wre leaving the field. I made no reply, wl realized how his hand was paining him. “In the fifth inning Wagner was at bat min, and as I looked toward short, the by was playing deeper than ever. Making iblaff that I wanted to consult with the |rtcher, I walked to the center of the dia- toad, giving the busher a sign to come in. Ashe approached, I said, ‘Come on and do sl tell you. Play in close, or he'll out- jes you and bunt.’ “'Is he going to bunt again?’ he asked. “Sure, he'll bunt,’ I replied. “Then it's me for the fence,’ said the Mngster, and throughout that game he Ritively refused to play close up when ‘big German went to bat."” hake is credited with making one of the fertest baseball speeches on record. One {a friend coaxed him to attend a busi- 3 men's banquet, and without asking nission, the toastmaster arose and an- fenced that those present would be pleased Mkear a baseball address by the slugging higer. Daubert stood up, looking wildly Set, and fairly gasped, ** My baseball ad- & is Ebbets Field, Brooklyn. Good- @." He then left the room on the run.
