, the n. Louis Browns. Bail Ia perhaps
one Of tho very few independents whom
johnson would admit In transfer or
allegiance to his league.
II would not be surprising II II tran
spired that all Of these peace rumors
sent from Chicago originated solely
from Federal League sources. 1t has
been learned that the Gilmore ring is
not 20 well fortified financially as COM
mon gossip would have II. II 10 said
that tho Ward brothers of Brooklyn
have thrown their money behind the

are tho powers behind the throne Of Pat
Powers. A baking establishment. It Is
said. IL soon to be erected hard by the
envfrons Of Harrison oval.
George T. Stall,ngs. Boston's miracle
man. was somewhat sulien over tho
treatment OF his club by tho Phillies.
but warmed up little after taking the
scaips of the Giants in his first en-
counter here.
Everybody in the country, has been
crying wolf about my club" said Stall
! lings last night. but we will be there
| at the end OF the season, never fear I
have by far the greatest team that has
been put together within the past ten
years. II Ia one of the greatest teams
ever organized.
The injury to Evers has been greatly
magnified. A lot OF bunk has been sent
out OF Troy as TO his condition. No
bones were broken at all and his ankle
pulled slightly. that is all have been
| assured that Evers will be out for
practice shortly after We return to Bos-
4 ton. He will be in the game within a
week or ten days.
Boston Is far better right now than
was during the drive the last three
. months OF last season. The pitching
| staff is far better balanced. Magee has
brought us strength in tho outfeld. We
played our worst bali against Philadei-
phia. Moran's club was simply fortu-
nate enough to grab us when we were
| out OF alignment
There is a better spirit among the
Phillies than has been evidenced in
many years. So long as those players
hustle and pull together as they are
doing now the team cannot be slightly
| regarded. But I do not figure the
Quakers to give us our fight. McGraws
team looks bad Just now perhaps but
II is bound TO come along later. Lobert
will work wonders for that infield. Per-
rift is going TO strengthen tho pitching
stan. This will give Mciraw the punch
| IN TWO places where he was shy last
year still fear the Giants far more
than the Philles In spite OF the fact that
Moran Is breezing out In front and
McGraw IL at the bottom OF the heap"
For number OF reasons Stall,ngs 1.
| delighted with the success of the Yam
KEGS In the race so far. George Is
bosom friend Of Capt. T l.. Huston and
those few remaining veterans Of the
! team that stuck by him back in 1910
when Frank Farrell sliced or the Rig
Chiefs head to crafty caprice OF Hal
! Chase.
Nothing could please me moro than
a successful campaign by the New York
Americans" said Stallings "Rill pono-
van Is possessed OF baseball brains and
charming personality. think his men
will do their best for him II strikes
me that the American League race
should be AN open one this year where
hustling and effor, will bear an i'm
portant part. The dsintegration OF the
I Athletics should npart new life TO the
! Johnson circuit. Connie Macks club
is all through for the team that will ride
