George Stallings has a contract
for S12,500 a year as manager of
the Boston Braves and it doesn't ex-
plre until year from next October.
Yet Stallings is handling a second
division team. which has no chance
to get out of the nire President
Grant Of the Braves is patiently
waiting for results. Stallings told
him early in the campaign that if
Outfelder Walton Cruise could be
obtained from the Cardinals the Bos-
ton team would rush to the front.
So Grant bought the release of
Cruise and eagerly awaited develop
ments.
The Braves with Cruise in the line
up didn't improve and the attend
ance at the Boston park continued to
dwindle. Stallings finally was per-
suaded by his employer to get rid OF
Pitcher Bill James, who had been
drawing salary since 1914 in spite
Of lame arm that made him totally
useless.
Will the Braves have another man
ager when Stallings's contract ex-
pires or will Grant decide to make a
change before the end Of this sea
son? Grant is smart baseball man
He doesn't jump at conclusions, but
it's safe to say that he is beginning
to wonder whether Stallings is
worth salary of $12,50O year.
A winning ball club in Boston
would make a pronounced hit just
now. The Red Sox are in disgrace
and the fans are sore. If Grant can
lay the foundation for a winner at
Braves Field, therefore, the National
league will be restored to favor in
the Hub. Can Stallings bring about
a change of sentiment? If not, who
will be the next manager of the 1914
worlds champions?
One of the few members of the
Giant hurting corps who are in good
shape today and ready to take his
regular turn in the box is Jean Du-

rore, doing about all that has been
asked of him by John McGraw, and
1t Is quite likely that from now on
he will again be used regularly, as
he was in the early weeks Of the
season.
When Dubuc was signed by the Gil
ants this spring, it was taken for
granted that he would be used only
as relief pitcher, but McGraw
started him in several games and he
won them in such impressive fashion
that he, with Rube Benton, Jess
Barnes and Cecil Causey. soon bore
the brunt of the clubs pitching. OF

hut has rendered most valuable aid
IN finishing out games.
Dubuc is well suited for work as a
relief pitcher for two reasons One
is that he has plenty of gray mat
ter stored away under his cap; the
other is that he is a plucky indi-
vidual who doesn't lose his nerve in
the most trying situations.
Charles w. Murphy, former presi-
dent of the Chicago Cubs, has pre-
Sented trophy to the Western
league for a series of games next
fall between teams which finish first
and second in the pennant race. This
announcement was made by Presi-
dent Tearney recently.
The series will be staged within
q week after the close of the season.
The winning team will receive sixty
per cent Of the gate receipts and the
losing team forty. Seven games will
be played. James K Crawford Of
Tulsa, Okla, has offered to guaran-
tee the expense of the series if il In
not financial success.
The games will give the fans Of

said. The trophy will be known as
