The pennant which the Boston Ma
tionals cinched yesterday was the
tenth flag won by baseball teams with
which George Stallings has been asso-
ciated In his career as player and
manager. His first success came
in 1891 when he managed the San
Jose team and won the pennant. THIS
was his first year as a manager.
For some years Tyrus Cobb and
Napoleon Rucker have monopolized
the spotlight among native Georgians
In the world of baseball. Any REFER
ence to Georgia was not complete un-
less Tyrus and Napoleon were mem
toned as products of that state.
These two birds were the last word In
diamond affairs from Catoosa county
to Traders Hill.
But this year the Georgia popular
ity trust has expanded. Ty and Nap
have been compelled to move over
and share the limelight stuff with an
other Cracker" known far and wide
as "Big Chief George Stallings, man
aver OF the Boston Braves.
Today Stallings Is as we'll known
and quite as popular among the lans
as either Cobb or Rucker. But unlike
these two he has not gained his place
among baseball celebrities as player
only a mediocre player at his best.
His reputation is based wholyly on
his successful work as manager, In
making over the tail-end Braves into
q pennant possibility he proved his
capability in this direction. In add
ton, he plotted many minor league
champions between the years 1891 and
1909.
Augusta, Ga, was the place OF his
birth. He graduated from the Vlr-
ginia Military Institute and later
took a course in Baltimore medical
college. 1t was as member OF the
medical school baseball team that he
first donned the spangles. lie was
an outfielder and catcher His work
attracted the attention OF the Phiia-
delphia Nationals and he was signed
by that club in 1887 After midseason
the Philadelphlas loaned him to To-
ronto. which club won the lnterna-
tionai League pennant that year, so
Stallings finished his first season In
professional baseball with a winning
outfit.
Next year he was with the Stock
ton. Cal, club, and in 1883 he played
with the champion Oakland club. He
put in the season OF 1890 with the

West Orange Boy Defeats Billy
Maxwell Without Much

Charley Weinert, the West orange
Butcher Boy, added another victory to
his list last night, when he admins

Philadelphia, in a ten-round bout at
the Broadway Sporting Club, Brook
Ign. Weinert, outweighed his oppo-
nent by fifteen pounds, the West Or
ange boxer tipping the scales at It's
pounds. Weinert was not at his
best last night, but did well enough
to beat his opponent without much
effort. Weinert was the aggressor
throughout, and, although he landed
several heavy blows during the early
sessions, Maxwell withstood the on
slaught until the seventh round, when
he began to show signs of weakening.
Maxwell, however, did not let Wei
merit escape unscathed, and before the
final bell Weinert's face was showing
the effects of Maxwell's jabbing, and
his left eye was partly closed. Sew
eral times during the final three
rounds Weinert tried hard to end the
bout before the final bell Although
he landed heavily at times with
rights and lefts to the face and body,
he could not do the trick.
