STALLINGS THOUGHT
 NEW LONDON TEAM BIG

Manager George Sta1Ifngs of the Boston Braves declared with a slight tinge of good natured sarcasm last Thursday afternoon that the New London team carried the largest num- Der of players on it's staf of any outfit between the Atlantic and Pa ci1c. It was just like this: A dele gation of fans accompanied the Planters on their way to Lawrences with the intention Of taking in the game in Boston Thursday afternoon and that in Lawrence Friday. t When the Hub was reached. 1t was decided that the Planters and their loyal sup porters should attend the game to- gether.
 Manager McCann sent in his card to Manager Sta1lings, announcing that his champions stood without the DOT tai and would apprecia-te the. courtesy of free admission to the grounds. Most assured1y, responded MT. Stall ings with proper professional courtesy and he forwarded Instructions to the gate to pass the New London play CTS. 7
 Then it chanced by the nerest acci- dent that the manager of the Braves was called to the gate just as the New London delegation went through. Stephen J. McMahon carried Martin, s red sweater over his shoulder and was introduced as the fastest rightfe4der in the business. Then came several other we'll known citizens, including directors of the Planters and other prominent residents who have passed the baseball age some years ago. All got by the ticket taker and went on to the grand stand.
 Say said Stal1ings to McCann, as the latter paused to thank him for his kindness that's the largest and oldest ball team ever saw

stances will not say at this time that am ready to discontinue my connection with the team, but L feel very much like saying so.
 '"The question is not so much of the members of Ghe team having par Hcipated in the game Sunday, against the regulations of the commission. They erred then, but that might have been overlooked. But when it came to g, pitcher, who was likely to be used in Anon days game. taking part in an amateur contest and then after being reprimanded for his action, having his teammates, or some of them, declare that he should not be censured and that if he was they were ready to quit with him, Is we'll nigh beyond ere dence.
 T repeat that I am disgueted be- yond expression at the treatment which these players have accorded to Manager NhcCann and indirectly to those who have had the welfare of the team closely at heart
 The incident is far from a. closed book. The case is now in the hands of the national baseball commission and with that body rests the fate of the players concerned in the insubor- dination. No money will be paid any one on the team until the commission has so ordered.

1s9S-Young (Abraham) Brown, New York lightweight born on the East side, New York. Browns parents were Enghsh-Jews. and he was reared and educated in Gotham's ghetto. He started as a pre1im. boy in 1910 and within a. year he was being matched with the classy lads in 10-round af- fairs.

Later he fought Willie Beecher.

NO STALLINGS DAY IF
 BOSTON BOSS GAN STOP TT

Tn the present condition of the Ma tionaI league race Manager George T. StalIings of the Braves is of the opin- ion that the contemplated ~StaHings Day'' in his honor to be given by the fans of the city would not be exactly timely.
 While highly appreciate the fine feeling of my friends mong the fans and feel deeply honored by their kind fy intentions in my behalf, I dof not think that the sStal1ings Day should be settled upon until after the season is over and the Boston team has deter mined it's final rating was the Big Chiefs statement.
 He went on to say in his opinion that a day if there was to be one, should be given to the Braves as team and not to himself, as they. were the ones who had earned the right to an occasion of the kind.

{. II. FOX IS CHOSEN
AS LEAGUE PRESIDENT
Local Attorney viii Head Newly Formed
North Central Washington Baseball
League

At a meeting of the North Central
Washington Baseball league managers
in Cashmere last Sunday morning E.
H. Fox of this city was unanimously
chosen as president of the League to
succeed Arthur Mcclure of Water
vile who recently resigned. Mr.. Fox,
or the Colonel as he is more ia
miliarly known, was not aware OF the
fact that he was the choice Of the man
ayers until the day preceding his cleo
ton. when he was asked by w. E.
Moore manager Of the Wenatchee club
if he would accept the Office if the
same was rendered to him. At first
the Colonel refused the Office saying
that it would take too much OF his
time away from his legal business, but
being an enthusiastic baseball fan, he
finally agreed to take the Office when
told that he would be given free
hand in the managing OF the organi-
zation. Mr.. Fox has followed base
ball, and made a study Of the game for
many years, and is an ex-president Of the
Southwest Washington League, which
later developed into the Northwestern
League. Without a doubt he is one
OF the best posted men on baseball in
Cenual Washington and under his man
agement the Echo believes that the
newly formed organization will have a
most successful season. The Colonel
is still engaged in the law practice but
says he will give his time to baseball
when the other fellow sleeps.
