Gus Yankees, including the
Babe himself.
"NOw gimme a cigarette" said
the Rabbit, as they lifted him
tenderly into the ambulance,
"and I'll sing the driver q song
as we go riding along"
Which is the way all the
champions go, my friend. Other
wise they would not be cham
pions.
Arrives Full Of Pep
Less than a 41-year-old Rab-
bit arrived in st. Pete as full Of
pep and enthusiasm as always
and boldly announcing:
Gus recruits have got to get
down here early, or some Of
those old wrinkled-faced veter.
ans will beat us out Of our jobs"
Little did any of us think then
that he'd never take part in
another major league game. He
looked as young and Spry as
ever. Maybe just trifle better
than he had five years before.
He had been a total abstainer,
a beater of the big bass drum in
the temperance army since
that time, and five years "off
the stuff" had produced a dis
tinct improvement in "the Rab."
Maranville'S secret was his
legs. He had marvellous legs
the legs Of a man bigger
than he, but not so big as to
be heavy and clumsy, as the
legs Of those piano-pinned ath-
letes are apt to be.
Appearance Deceives

him, in an unsuccessful effort
to explain how Rabbit could

''He is the biggest little man
l ever saw. For a small fel-
low he is perfectly proper.
toned; So perfectly proper.
toned that when you see him
stripped he looks to be a much
bigger man than you would
take him to be on the playing
field. But mostly I suppose
the reason he goes on is be-
cause he is the Rabbit, q fel.
low who was born to be like
that, and who trouble, worry
and everything bOunces off Of
as though it didn't exist"
Good as he has looked in
training this spring, not even
"The Rab" could have carried
the illusion Of perpetual mo.
ton on much longer.
Under the Whip
He was 41-and in the dog
days of last season it was
plain that he was under the
whip little.
II wouldn't be telling you the
truth" said McKechnie, If I
didn't tell you that those dOu.
bleheaderS were riding him
hard in the latter part of last
season. He wouldn't say so.
But a man can see. Even so,
I preferred to have him in
there than a younger man. He
knows so well how to play that
he can cut corners a little and
still be good enough. And he's
a help to younger infieIders.
Why, he made UrbanSki. What
could I teach the kid about
playing ShOrtStOp with one of

The shortstop position will be

NEW YORK, March 29.-They
cut his uniform off the little
guy with the banjo ears down
yonder in st. Petersburg, Fla,
yesterday, and we have seen
the last of another baseball
marvel in action. Now only
Babe Ruth, the old guy who
stands alone, remains.
The little fellow with the
large listeners was Walter James
Maranville, who was born in
Springfield, Mass, on November
l., 1891, and who, until they
picked him up with a broken
leg in yesterdays tragic prac-
tice contest with the Yankees,
still was one of the great in
fielders of the game.
It was those ears, standing
out like the handles on a coun.
try club golf cup and wiggling
at every hint of excitement,
that gave him his nickname
Rabbit.
Daughters Ambition
Now his daughter, who lives
with him at his winter home in
Rochester, N. Y, will not real
tze her ambition. 1t was short
ly after she had graduated from
college and on an evening when
he was playing host to her boy
friend at dinner that this daugh-
ter shocked and amazed "the
Rab" by saying:
Daddy, I hope you'll keep
on playing baseball long
enough SO that 1 can get
married and settle down and
have a baby son old enough
to bring out to the ball park,
and point to you cutting up
around second base and say:
Walter, do you see that little
man out there who is having
so much fun? Well, that's
your granddaddy."
AS I say, this speech, espe.
cially in the presence of a
young man, shocked and
amazed the Rabbit. But pleased
him, too, so that he delights
to tell it on himself.
Might Have Made It
But at that, he might have
made it, the way he has been
going these past few seasons,
If they hadn't sent him back
to third base after he had
crossed the plate with what
looked like the winning run
yesterday.
They sent him back because
another runner had been hit
by batted ball, and when he
tried to score again on a
double steal, he crashed into
Catcher Kies. breaking both
bones in his leg, and un-
doubtedly bringing to an end
his almost unbelievable play.
ing career.
The stories say the snap Of
the bones could be heard
throughout the tiny grand
stand Of Waterfront Park, and
that women tainted when they
saw the little fellow lying
there with the twisted, broken
leg doubled under him.
Asks for Cigarette

taken all Of his % years in
