Though Bobby Wallace has been play
ing major league baseball for something
like seventeen years, his troubles are not
to come until next season. when he will
manage the ST. Louis Browns Stepping

OConnor accomplished anything which
Wallace or any other man could not
equal but with every defeat st. Louis

team, and even so popular a player as
Wallace is sure to come in for a pan
ming. The public does not take into con-
slderation that manager must have
material before he can be expected TO
make good, and owner Hedges, Of the
Browns. has not shown any inclination
to dig down into his jeans and get bah
players.
