HIGHLANDER, s NEW MANAGER
IS A WEALTHY ARLSTOGRA7

Can you imagine a base ball
manager, even major league
manager, who is a bon vivant,
club man, social favorite and who
knows how to wear evening
clothes as if nature intended him
to wear them, instead of like a
clothing store dummy?
Of course there is Charlie Muir
ply, owner of the Cubs, but then
Murph is a near swell, being shy
the hall mark. Chubby Charlie is
alleged to wear diamond studs in
shirt front when he dons the
happy toggery, sartorial hurdle
which George 7. would never take.
Stallings, by the way, is the new
manager of the New York Ameri-
can league club. When he handled
the Buffalo club of the Eastern
league he astonished the public by
putting up at the best hotel in
town long enough to get acquaint-
ed, after which he moved to an
exclusive club, where he made his
home. 1t wasn't long before he
was welcomed in society and the
sporting rendezvous knew him not.
Stallings is native of Georgia.,
and South Georgia at that. He was

trade that belongs to the United

Latin America does more than
one-third of the total commerce of
