Stallings just before the first game Of
the series in Philadelphia.
Stallings says that many of his
friends are convinced that the effort
to get him into a rough-and-tumble
fight was part of a deliberate plot on
the part of the hackers of the Athlet-
les to send the Braves into the series
without the guidance of their leader.
Stallings has learned. he says, that
the pugnacfous fan who will go into
history as the philadelphia Iceman,"
had a season pass to Shibe park. He
was a massive bruiser, fully as big as
the giantlimbed chief of the Braves
and was not as drunk as he pretend
ed to be.
He repeatedly jostled Stallings and
tried to knock his hat off before the
Braves manager took notice. The lat
ter then started a full right swing
which reached the mark and the
bruiser's efforts came to naught-he
was knocked cold.

II Is reported that Manager Harry
Smith, of the Newark club, Is making
hurried trips about the country in an
effort to sign his players. Several mem
bers OF the team have received offers
from the Federals.
Russell Blackburne, shortstop secured
by the White Sox from Milwaukee, is
peeved. Russell says the contract Of

from the American Association club last
year, and that he win not accept.
President Charles Ebbets, Of the su-

Gar Johnson, OF the American

Bruce Hayes, OF Tulane University,

second basemen they have had before

A LII of which listens very pleasant

have to step pretty lively to make

Here's hoping he can do 1t.
