George stallings' ball players, who
on sheer nerve, fought their way
from last place 20 hrst in the memor-
able campaign Of 1914 and who then
won a worlds series in four straight
games from the Athletics, never have

been liked by their opponents. Theii
mQhods are too rough. They fight
with q courage that is unshakable
and their enemies on the baseball
field can be counted by the dozens.
But just the same this baseball
club must be credited with making
the gamest fight ever seen IN the Ma
tional League. Gameness is q virtue
which every baseball player and man
ager must admire and the Braves are
getting their share Of admiration
from the rest Of the feld.
The Braves are not a strong aggre-
cation, as baseball is figured from
batting averages. But they have de-
termination and strong, forceful
leader TO lash them 10 victory. Their
pitching staff is great and their bat
