George Stallings, manager of the
Boston Braves, says organization and
system are more important to.a ball
club than the gathering together Of
star players.
IA team will not win pennants with
out system and without playing for
the old percentage" said the Miracle
Man. "By percentage I mean the
knack Of playing everything to the
edge. the idea Of taking advantage Of
every little opportunity.
"A team composed of ballplayers
who are not regarded great stars but
have system would be my choice
against an aggregation. OF wonders
who pass up team play.
Baseball is becoming more scien-
tific. The days Of needless, slamhang,
baseball are gone. Little things are
important. BY proper use, the little
things become mighty big"

SYSTEM MORE IMPORTANT THAN
PLAYERS. SAYS MIRACLE MAN

System and percentage made 1t pos
sible for Stallings to pull the Braves
from last place to the pennant and
worlds championship in 1914.
He did not have team of stars.
He picked UP players cast aside by
other teams. 1t seems that all he
needed was someone in uniform to
carry out his orders.
An example Of Stal1ings' play for
"the old percentage" was in the way
he handled his outt1eld. He had two
sets Of outfelders lefthanded hitters
for use against righthand pitchers and
rlghthand batters for use against left
hand pitchers. He always had the
edge in batting. no matter what pitch
er was sent against his team.
Stallings is SO strong for system
especially his own system-that he
left several ball clubs when others
tried to interfere with his way OF do
ing things. He'll have his way or get
out.
