Whaling a Good Receiver.
Stalliu5gs has NJ pennant team by
a long way. But he viii have one by
next year if he continues his policy
OF wise selection which has marked
his Boston reign StalllngS, who has
developed a greL number OF first rate
catcherS, has a most promising receiver
in Whaling, who at one time worked
with Cananea, Mexico, in the Cactus
league. he has several mighty COM
petent pitchers, among them Perdue,
Tyler and James A couple more OF

ing staff the equal of most anything
in his company. Of course, Stallings
viii have to replace DeVlln and Titus
before long. as both are veterans of
many years. In Smith he has an able
understudy for the great third Sacker.
Stallings has declared that by the time
Devlin fails this yOungSter should be

Seeks to Develop Speed.
Stallings in a great many of his prin-

more runs in an inning. But also on

Idol Of Boston Now.
Stauings is the idol of Boston just

two months of the season Stallings has

by falling down so badly in the Amer
