pHlI.LIES' NEW MANAGER.
George +. StalIinss of Detroit to Sue
ceel Nash.

George 4. StallinEs of Detroit to Sue
ceed Nash.
The Philadelphia club will try another
manager next season-George T. StallinEs
of the Detroit club. 1t is interesting TO
note that Stallings was with the Phillies
Just ten years ago as u player, but was
Lot considered fast enough.
In discussing the appointment yesterday
Secretary William Shettsline said: Ever
since the close of the disastrous season OF
1896 the officials of the club have been look
ing for new manager, as it was manifest
from Manager Nash's own statements that
ne was unwilling to undertake the thank
less task for another season. Numerous
applications were made from managers ana
ex-managers TO fill the vacancy and their
relative merits and qualifications have been
the subject of much investigation and als-
crssion.
Last summer, when President Reach
made tour through the Western League
in the hunt for players, he witnessed three
games played by the Detroit club, and got
thoroughly well acquainted with Manager
Stailngs system and methods, and on his
return 10 Philadelphia he prophesied bril-
liant future for the manager of the Detroit
club.
During the league meeting at Chicago
Messrs. Reach and Rogers had several
pleasant conversations with Mr. Stallings,
but they did not intimate to him that they
weIe CoHSiueFlLS MIN as an applicant for
the position. In point of fact, Mr. Stall
lings did not make application, but after
going all over the ground the directors of
the Philadelphia club came to the con-
clusion that he would fill the bill better
ttan any available man. Negotiations were
al once started which resulted in satisfac-
tory terms being agreed upon by letter and
telegraph, which will be followed by more
formal agreements hereafter.
"Inasmuch as Mr.. Stallings' name an
pears on the players reserve list of the
Detroit club, it became necessary for the
Philadelphia club to draft him as if he
were a player. This has also been done.
During the six years which Mr. Stallings
has acted as manager in the Southern and
Western leagues, his club has won the pen
i'ant each season except 1885, when COM
bination of accidents prevented the De-
troits from finishing higher than third
"Mr Sta!lings is now at his home in
Nashville, Tenn, but it is hoped that he
will soon be able TO report In Philadelphia
to consult about any changes that may be
made in the Philadelphia team and to com
plete arrangements for taking absolute
control Of the players"

WAS AFTER MONEY.
ROBDER GOES THROUGH CLOTHING
OF SLEEPING PASSENGERS.
The Passengers Aroused Near Grccn-
Train and Escapes.

Greenvllle. Tex, March 13.--Cspc-
cial)-The passengers on the sleeper of
the north-bound Katy, which arrived
mere at 1929 last night were aroused by
some one going through their depart
ments and searching their clothing
seeming TO be hunting money or jew
elry.
II Is supposed the robber had been
riding on top OF the sleeper. as no one
was in the adjoining car, and the por-
ter saw man enter the front end of
the coach with large revolver in his
hand. After visiting nearly all the
berths he unlocked the door and was
going through the clothing Of two la
dies near the front end, when he dis
covered the brakeman coming TO the
sleeper. by this time the train was
nearing the Cotton Belt crossing. the
porter made an alarm to the brakeman
ana the robbcr made his escape of the
front end Of the car into the darkness.
The brakeman saw two men jump OFF
the car and thinks there were two on
top of the sleeper at the time the one
went through.
When the train reached the city the
news was dispatched to police hend.
quarters and an immediate search made
for the party or parties. but 1t could
not be learned how much money the
man secured. If any. and what else he
took
No arrests have been made.
