BOSTON. Mass - Manager Staliings|
gives credit to his team, especially to
Johnny Eyers, for the triumph OF his
Braves. Eyers gives credit TO stall
Iings. Whatever. the cause OF the pne-1
nonienal rise of the Braves. one thing
is certain they rose to fame by sheer
merit.
Manager and Captain Modest.
There we're many baseball men
more or less scepticaT about the class
of the Braves even after the meteoric
rise in the National league. -Four
worlds series games in row erased
all doubt. The Braves went through
the teams Of the National league like
q 13-inch shell because they were e.
great combination in all departments
of the game.
Had | used Stalling's methods
when manager of the Chicago Cubs.
/ would have won the National league
championship that season, said john
my Eyers.
Johnny Evers deserves the credit
for completing the infield, directing
the play, and keeping his teammates
doing the right things in the right
spots,' said Manager Stalings after
the series.
Influences that Counted.
Undoubtedly it ID combination OF
influences that made the Braves
achieve the seemingly impossible.
Manager Stallings performed wonders
in gathering the material and then
handling it in the proper manner to
get the best results. Johnny Eyers.
with his years of experience In league,
city. and world championships, uni
doubtedIy was the needful factor of
the infeId, steadying a team of young
sters and teaching them how to work
in harmony for team play.
Little Rabbit Maranville, undOubted-
~ the most sensational fielder of mod
ern baseball, is a necessary cog in the
Stallings machine. Hank Gowdy, the
successor OF Frank Baker as the
worlds series batting hero, contribute
ed the influence of his timely wallops.
Charles Schmidt is a contender for the
honor of being the greatest first base
man in the game. Manager Staliings
said Charley Deal was the greatest
fielding third baseman. in the world,
but fans doubted him. Deal made
many converts in the worlds series,
although only a substitute in the big
classic.
All the facts concerning the Braves
may be true, but the question has been
asked, who deserved the most credit
for winning the worlds series?' I'M
doubtedly the pitchers were the most
important factors. Dick Rudolph, a.
cast-off Of the New York Giants, was
the principal factor in stopping Mack
wrecking crew, and deserves most
credit, but James and Tyler share
honors with the Bronx midget.
To stop the smuggling Athletics
that was the problem, and these pitch |
ers of Stallings, unframed in battles
of such importance, suppressed them.
Gets Only Five Pinch Hits.
Mack's wonderful batting club got |
only five hits in the pinehes in four
games of thirty-nine innings.
Only one hit in pinch was made !
off Rudolph in the first game. Not one
hit in pinch was made off James In J
the second game Only two hits with |
men on the paths ahead were garner
ed on Tyler and James in the third |
game. one scratch in the tenth. In |
the game that gave the Braves the
title just two hits with men ahead
were made on The pitching Of Rudolph. |
