For years and years—since 1919, in fact—Nick and Al have cavorted | cfore American league crowds each | eason, their funny stunts never failing to lure chuckles and guf- faws from the fandom. As a com- cdy team they were the funniest thing that ever hit baseball. They were smart encugh to keep rbreast of major doings in other hranches of sport. Gertrude Ederle had scarcely completed her famous paddle across the English Channel refore Nick with a tiny skirt +round his middle to maintain the feminine illusion, was puffing and laboring about in the dirt back of | home plate before the start of the Senators’ games while, Al tenderly gave him aid and sustenance. As soon as Suzanne Lenglen and Helen Wills had caught the imag- inations of the sports public, Nick and Al appeared with their phan- tom tennis match, an uproarious spectacle. Placidly Nick stroked an imaginary ball while Al made des- perate efforts to return it, finally winding up in a heap on the sod as Nick came to the net and bast- ed him from the court. Then they did it in slow motion. The Realistic Altrock Everything was lovely until they | hit upon a burlesque of the “long count” in the second Dempsey- Tunney fight at Chicago. It was one of the funniest acts they ever |funny work before the Senators' hts Reserved by The Associuted Pissa helped Altrock put on his gloves. “Tie the right one good and tight,” Nick whispered in his ear. “I want to get in one more good | belt at that guy.” The Wall Is Up. Altrock and Schacht still do their games, but they cavort separately. Nick plays first base in the field- ing practice and he's very funny. ‘When he departs, Schacht comes rushing out in a cutaway coat and battered hat and goes through his routine. | They may not be with the club next season, although Schacht, once the games start, is the Senators’ regular third base coach, a shrewd baseball man- Altrock even now does some left-handed pitehing in batting practice and once in a while hits in a regular late season | game. ‘ They have played before world’s series crowds and are in great de- wand on barnstorming trips. In the off-season they command as high as $300 a performance. But it | is all over now. Schacht is studying to be a stage comedian. And Nick has no part in his plans for,the future. | —t—— I DESATAGE | OF 101 YEARS STOCKTON, Cal, Sept. 30.—Wil- | Sides, Hermle.
