Fourteen years ago this month,
George Stallings was leading his ia
nous miracle team" the Boston
Braves, to a National League pen
nant and an ultimate world series
Championship.
While Stalling and his right
bower, Johnny Eyers, we're doubtless
responsible for much of the sue
cess of the clubs sensational
achievement that year, no little
amount of credit was due Rudolph,
James and Tyler, the three pitching
aces-and a 22-year- old youngster
playing his second regular cam
paign with the team.
The 22-year-old chap was Rab-
bit Maranville, a peppery little
shortstop out of the New England
League. Maranville's stellar work
a1eld, timely hitting and fighting
spirit played big parts in the Braves
double triumph that season.
This year-fourteen campaigns
1ater-we find this same Rabbit
Maranville, now a 36-year-old vet
eran, playing major role in the
march of the st. Louis Cardinals to
another probable pennant, and pos
sible world series victory.
For Maranville, picked up out OF
the major league gutter late last
summer, has been the handspring
of the McKechnie machine. In
serted in the lineup this year in
place of the disabled Tommy Theve-
now, the Rabbit has come through
in sensational manner.

Minnesota Gives Promise
of Powerful Eleven in
Conference Race.
BY DIXON STEWART
United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Sept. Minnesota s
grid juggernaut, most feared team
in the Big Ten Conference during
the past two seasons, gives promise
of being fully as powerful during
1928 as it was last year.
Graduation of such stars as Joes-
ting, all-American fullback; Aim
quist, Hydahl, Hanson, MacKinnon,
'~6ary and Walsh was a heavy blow,
but DR.. Clarence Spears, head coach,
will have a better team than one
would suppose after noting his
losses.
Spears always has some good men
coming along and this year the list
includes many veterans. Among
the returning letter men are Capt.
George Gibson, one of the best
guards in the country; Nagurski and
Duke Johnson, 1927 regular tackles;
last years ends, Haycraft and Tan
ner, and Wayne Kakels, Edgar Ukkel-
berg and Les Pulkrabek, who saw
service in the 1927 line.
+, In the backfield, Barnhardt and
Pharmer will be seeking their old
posts, while Hovde, a shifty quarter
or half; Geer and Arendsee, all of
whom saw considerable action last
year. will be fighting for regular
berths.
In addition to these, Minnesota
has perhaps a dozen men of promise
from the 1927 freshman squad. I'm
less something goes radically wrong
at Minnesota, the Gophers will be
a strong contender for Big Ten
honors.
DOC" Spears is the least optimis-
tic man in the Gopher camp.
Spears declared that Northwestern,
Wisconsin, Purdue and Indiana are
going to be about as tough as they
come. And he is afraid of Iowa.
Minnesota needs big, fast backs
more than anything else" the
northmen'S leader declared. II
don't know where they are coming
from. Some of the candidates may
develop into polished players, but
with those I saw in spring practice
it's about a toss up. They may
come through or they may not. We
are starting the season with Mr..
If in five positions, and we may
have to go right through with the
same guy in the same position"

A battle with flaming engine, high

the fire, has won for Capt. Robert E.

Presence Of Mind Praised.
''The commanding officer of Boiling

airplane which you we're plotting caught
fire near Green Springs, W. Va, on May
