What Stallings did for the team
last season you never will find in

declare he was the chief asset of

He caught the battery signals of
half the teams In the league and
time and again his quick eyesight

Nobody threw any silverware

American beauties last fall.
While they were lionizing Stall
lings and Evers, Hank Gowdy
and Dick Rudolph, Mitch sat over
on the bench and grinned Joy
fully. But If you get down in the

that pennant and worlds cham

that Mitch had as much to 10

of the greatest men on the ball
field today-from the ball play

out there at third base, paving
dirt, watching, studying, encour-
aging-the batters and If they Look
close they will see him talking
earnestly with Sailing and Evers
and whispering things to the
pitchers.
