STALLINGS HAS GREAT
PITCHING COLLECTION

BOSTON, Feb. 4.-Manager George
T. StaIlings, of the Braves, may not
have ffty-seven varieties of twirlers
to pick from. but out OF the seventeen
he will look over this spring there are
three youngsters having the earmarks
Of pitchers who will deliver. One is
Eugene Cocreham, who enjoys the dis
tinctlon of being the tallest member
of the Braves squad. measuring feet
3is inches in his stocking feet.
This "sapling' comes from I.uling,
Tex, having first appeared profession
ally in baseball as a member OF the
San Antonio CTex) club. The Braves
secured him from the Topeka club,
where he pitched IN 1872 and 1918. Along
the latter part of last season COcre-

ise. He is a risiit-hander being but
twenty -four years old, and weighs lis
pounds.
The other twirler is George A. Davis,
jr, concerning whose work in 1914
Manager StaIIings is very hopeful.
Davis appeared first professionally as
A member of the New York Ameri-
can League club. and did good work
last year for the Jersey City club, of
the International League. He Joined
the Braves the latter part of the sea-
son. and the games in which he worked

Davis, while he was at Williams. was

Bill Phillips, manager of the Indianap-
oils Federals. wrote to a relative In
this city yesterday that he has very
nearly completed the signing up of the

One of these he admits is Everett

DREAMS HEARD
OF MACK'S GENEROSITY

YOnkers
FRANK j. Navin, president of the
Tigers, Is satisfied with Jennings and
he Is not going to add to the burden
that he ALREADY has to bear in building
up club by hanging a sword Of Dam
Ccles over his head supported by the
same slender thread that holds up pen
nants"
Just what sort OF an agreement there
is between Jennings and NaYin is rot
made public At times it is said that
there is no contract between Jennings
and the club. At other times, Jennings
is reported TO have signed his contract.
The agreement is probably the wisast
one that can be made for both manager
and owner As a matter of fact con-
t'act is all in favor of the owner, for
i depends upon satisfactory service and
the owner could at any time declare the
services rendered unsatisfactory. Man
2geT after manager with a long term
contract has been let loose.
Besides, Jennings haE often said that
aTv time he felt that his services were
not satisfactory to Navin he would duit
the club on his own accord. 1'hiS inu-
tUal agreement that there has 70 5S sat

Cambridge, where he Is taking grad

right-hander. but bats both left and
right.
Another promising youngster is Fred
c. Herche. of Parker's Landing, Pa,
the right-hander picked up by the
Braves boss last season. He is not
only fine pitching prospect. but looks
like a hitting pitcher as well. He has
good form at the bat, and is a stocky,
snappy player.
Herche is another player who comes
to the Braves from a pennant-winning
team. He has done great work for
Binghamton. the team that captured
the flag in the New York State League
race. Herche's club, Binghamton, fin
ished in the league over Wilkesbarre by
