variations of independent American
thought, are gathered for delberative
purposes.

Braves Dash a 1918 Feature.
When Stallings elevated the 1913
Braves into fifth place they were
hailed lucky, lucky because the teams
under them did not try and simply
allowed the Braves to sneak in ahead
of them That may be the truth. but
1t was Stallings' habits. to hustle and
fight all the time that caused the Hub
crew to snatch fifth place. The Car.
dinals, Superbas and Reds loafed; the
Braves tried down the stretch and
reached fifth place.
And when the 1914 season opened;
when the Braves were losing daily
with the pitchers out of condition the
cry went up that last place was the
certain finish for Boston and Stallins.
Stallings saw his weakness; he knew
that he was losing because the pitch
ing was not there to stop the slugging
of the enemy. And Stallings knew
that with q month OF playing his
pitching would return and he would
care for the rest Stallings has cared
for the rest.
