KIBosH ON SCOUTING GAME
Manager Stallings of Boston Braves
Says 22-Player Limit Has Worked
Harm to Players.

George Stallings is of the opinion
that the scouting game has been XII
boshed. The 22-player limit in the
National league has done it, he thinks.
Says the chief of the Braves: II
would rather pay S10,000 for a player
Of known worth, if I needed q man,
than to try to fool with untried mate
rial in emergencies. The kind of play
er we would go after in pinch would
be sufficiently well known to every
body in baseball. As matter of fact,
by the time player is ripe enough to
come up to the big leagues there are
always a dozen scouts, each claiming
to have discovered him. These claims
are foolish, as a player must haye
some experience to stay in the big
leagues, whatever his natural qualifi-
cations"

MOTIFS OfMe

Big jeff Tesreau has rounded to
form.
Evidently the Georgia Peach be-
lieves in spiked neutrality.
Steve Yerkes has been turned Uver
to Indianapolis by the Cubs.
The American league race is over.
Comiskey has picked a winner.
Hans Wagner would make a great
sheriff. He would be there in pinch.
The Indians will bear watching 1t
Smokey Joe Wood is as good as he
was in 1912.
If Connie Mack wants to get rid of
Amos Strunk he will have no trouble
in getting bids.
Walter Johnson is a cattle fancier
and looks over the purebredS at ev-
cry opportunity.
One difference between baseball and
war is that war does not have to is
sue rain checks.
According to all reports, linn Beck
obtained by Milwaukee from the Car

The American league clubs are so
evenly matched it looks like Col. IF

The Athletics are greatly improved
and IF they can keep out Of the cell

Sam Rice started his professional
career as pitcher, coming to the Ma
tionals as twirler from the Virginia
league.
Manager Rowland feels. that his out
fit Of White Sox this year has little
better than an even chance to win
the flag.
Big Jim Vaughan has made up his
mind to make record this year. He
is in the best shape he ever was at
the start of the campaign.
Leslie Mann is the champion whistler
Of the National league. He whistles
all the time, except when he is asleep
or has his mouth full of food.
Lee Magee is doing much better for
the Yanks this year than last. OF
the players on the club, he has i'm
proved most over the work now rec
orded with 1916's history.
The reason for Brick Eldred's re-
lease may be ascribed to a desire of
President Comiskey to send this speed
merchant where he will develop by be-
ing regularly in the game.
New players, new managers and a
determined fighting spirit among club
