Rube Schauer, out of work and unpaid, signed with Superior Wisconsin in spring and quickly became a league standout. He leads strikeouts, posted three one hit games, and propelled Superior to the top of the Northern League, earning a high bid from a New York club. Schauer, a tall, strong 280-pound right-hander, dreamed of college, and his pay climb began from a $1109 monthly salary to major attention.
