Manager Detroit Base Ball Club.

A seasoned veteran has stolen the
limelight from younger, established
stars and rockies Of both major leagues
Rabbit Maranville is the player, and
his performance at shortstop for the
ST. Louis Cardinals is proof an old
timer can do amazing things when least
expected.
AS a comeback Maranville is the out
standing surprise of the season. Pro-
nounced through" as a major Lacquer
several years ago, he has been showing
all the remarkable fielding skill of his
youth. He is the spark which put the
McKechnie machine back in maximum
motion.
Maranville is entitled to wads of
credit when 1t Is considered that he
has been filling Thevenow's shoes. In
the world series against the Yankees
two years ago Thevenow's playing Dor
dered on the brilliant. and critics were
unanimous that he was everything a
great shortstop should be.

When we remember that Meanwhile
has spent II Summers under the big
top his return to form Is little short
of phenomenal. Many shortStops have
passed from the picture because their
legs gave out after 10 seasons of stren-
uouS work
Physically Maranville must be in ex-
cellent shape, but also his spirit re-
mains unbroken, and perhaps that is
just as important in the secret of his
comeback. He still enjoys the thrill OF
playing: otherwise he would merely be
going through the motions in q list
less manner.
Throughout his career Maranville has
been boy at heart, and was careleSsly
inclined toward rule and regulation.
This season he has turned completely
around and Is one of the best-behaved
players In the business Yet who ever
thought he would take Thevenow'S
place and restore the Cardinals punch?
We usually expect youngster to take
the place of regular who Is of form.
But time evidently has done little
ravaging to Maranville.
