TO Be IN RACE?
Hamilton Says Braves Will Be
Dangerous Club.
Stallings Has Kept His Club in
Good Shape.
BY Fl. c. HAMILTON.

New York, Feb. 1.-THE rough-and-
ready, cocky, confident Braves will
remain a factor in National league
baseball battles until George StailiEgs
steps clear out of the way. The trail
of bleeding hearts and broken hopes
they left in the path of their brilliant
dash to n world championships in
1914 is something that cannot be for
gotten in baseball.
No matter how weak the Braves
may look at the start of any season,
always something will have to be said
of this clubs potentiality.
The Braves will not start this season
with a bad baseball club. Wise swap
ping of ball players, and careful APP
plication of improved StalIings meth
DDS to young ball players makes this
club among those present. if not con-
sioered as pennant winner.
Stars 10 the Army.
The Braves were left sadly battered
when Hank Gowdy and Walter Maran-
VILE Joined the nations coIors And
when young Schneider followed in
their footsteps it looked an even deep
er hue. for he was touted one of the
best youngsters in the minors
Gowdy's place has been admirably
fIlled b. the acquisition of Art Wilson
from the Cubs. Wilson is fully as good
a catcher as the famous hero of the
1914 worlds series. He is not so kood
a hitter as of yore. but he still is capa-
bic of compiling better than a .25O
average. The trade that sent Charley
Herzog to the Braves completely takes
care of the hole left by Maranville's
departure. Herzog is much the same
sort of ball player as the departed
star, but he will give more weight to
the Braves infield, simply thru his
experience. He may hit for an aver
age as large as Maranville's and he
may not.
For the rest of his infield Stallings
will have Ed. Konetchy, Rawlings and
Red Smith. Konetchy and Smith are
the hitters of the inner works The
infield is well-balanced.
Outffeld Looks Good.
The outfield this year is better one
than the trio with which Stallings
finished last fall. Rehg, Powell, Kelly,
Wickland, Massey and Bailey is
sweet bunch to pick from. Indications
will be the regulars.
Stallings weakened his pitching staff
some in trading to bolster the rest of
the machine, but he still has intact a
great hurting corps. Hughes, Nehf
and Rudolph would look good at
tached to any National league staff
In addition he has Raglan and Allen
as experienced reserves, and Crum
and Scott as the youthful members.
The team lines up stronger than last
summer. There is more compactness
a look of harmonious ball playing The
team should finish better than it did
last fall.

the men are drawn.
Army Demands Fit Men.
The army does n ot make soldiers, 1t
perfects them; but it cannot turn ont
perfect specimens unless it has per-
feet material to work with, and 1t
cannot have perfect material If the
army of civil life trainers is disrupted
and their work interfcred with The
coach who is not in uniform may not
seem to be doing very much to heIp
win tho war for democracy, but in
reality he is doing a big work equal
Iy as important as that of cantonment
trainer and possibly as important as
that of the soldier who enters the
trench.
1t is to be hoped that the men who
have launched the plan of holding an
athletic conference will carry out this
plan and that they will be given en-
couragement by every sport man and
every college of the state.
