WALLACE POPULAR
AMONG PLAYERS
New Manager of Browns
May Do Well With Good
Material.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 23.-.A week ago every
baseball enthusiast in town was asking
the question, Who's going to manage
the Browns? Now there is a new
query in circulation, to wit: What
kind of a manager is Wallace going to
make?"
Wallace, If he has the right sort Of
timber, ought to he as good a skipper
as the next. Just as the clothes make
the man. the players make the manager.
Connie Mack is generally referred to as
the big pebble on the baseball beach.
Let him handle the same outfit that
Jack O'ConEor controlled last year, and
he probably would have landed just as
far down. It was a tail-ender. no mat
ter who the Doss was.
wallace Is thoroughly conversant with
all conditions in HcdgesviIle. The colo
mel has made something like 5000 per
month for himself and his company
since he hit st. Louis. Financially he
has batted 400. Artistically, the men
he has paid to entertain have, with the
maiden year rubbed out. landed in the
Fat Four lust once.
Knows of Failures.
If Wallace does not know why Nc
Aleer failed. also why O'Connor lost
one Of the two years that was coming
to him, then he is not the wise man
We believe him to be. He was reared
in the right school.
The clever Pat Teabeau was his first
boss, and the only Jesse Burkett was
his first pal. In ye olden times, when
grand old Frank de Haas Robinson was
irving tn give u-in In
old unwieldly twelve-club circuit, Wal
lace used to do the summer garden
circuit at nights. His running mates
were Mike Donlin. Emmett Heidrick and
Jesse Burkett. Wallace never strayed
from the narrow path. Nor did any
Of the bunch. for that matter. They
were just the Big Four all OF their
own, and, when everything is consid-
cred, they formed just about as classy
quartet of diamond workmen as St.
Louis ever owned.
Wallace Alone Remains.
Donlin has quit the arena for the
stage. Heidrick is selling lumber. Bur-
kett is doing the small towns. Wallace
antedates the three of them. for all but
Burkett, and still he sticks in the game.
Furthermore, he Shines. AS a short
field Rhody is practically as good as he
ever was. AS a batsman he is still
ferocious enough to bingle go or so.
His speed is not what ii used to be.
Just the same. he is far from being a
slow poke when hiking around the 800
foot circuit.
Wallace has been the idol of local
fandom ever since he lit in St Louis
He came by his popularity honestly
He has always been the high-cIass, fin
ished performer. Not once has he ever
acted the rowdy or clown. He has sim
ply played the game-played his best
and his best is very warmish.

Ball Players Hold on
To Fletcher's Checks

CINCINNATI. Jan. 23.-Eight we'll
known major league players, engaged to
play in an all star series by E. v. VIII
bern and Jefferson Livingston, of Gin
cinnat. last fall. have failed to return
certified checks they were given, and
$1,000 is tied up in a Cincinnati bank I'm
til the checks are produced.
Christy Mathewson and Ty Cobb hold
checks for $1,000 each. Charley street,
Harry Lord, Chief Bender. Johnny
Evers, Iris Speaker, and Arthur Devlin
have checks for $500 each.
The players may be keeping the checks
for souvenirs of one of basebalTs big
gest fizzles. Evers says he lost his. The
others say nothing.
1t is likely If the players do not come
across soon the promoters will have to
take some action to force them to re-
turn the checks. Just by the way. Dam
lei Fletcher. whose third league talk
threw a scare into some major league
owners. dropped in to see the promoters
of the all star tour. Fletcher 1t is said,
left town 500 richer and free from all
thoughts of baseball insurgency.
