he remarked: "YOu know, rabbi,
since people have learned of my
former partnership with the Pres
ident, they came to me with all

such requests. I will never ask

refuse. He doesn't need my adj

heart will prompt him to do that

Clubs Rapid Ascent
Recalls 5ta||ings'
Pennant in 1914
BY JOE REICHLER,

Manager Bob Coleman loomed to-
day as Boston's miracle man No 2.
The rapid rise of the Braves to
contending position in the Ma
tional League pennant race had
baseball followers thinking back 80
years when the Braves under George
StallingS, the original miracle man,
climaXed a great stretch drive to
win their first and only pennant,
after being in last place in mid
season.
Since that 1914 season, the Braves
have been in the first division only
five times, but today. after a 1910
drubbing of the New York Giants
last night for their 18th victory in
the last Is games, they were only
two games away from second place
and only one behind the flfth-place
Giants.
Paced by Tommy Holmes, the
leagues leading hitter and First
Baseman Joe Mack, Boston out
slugged the Giants in game in
which six pitchers gave up 80 hits,
Is for each side. Holmes, with three
hits, increased his batting mark to
1886 and extended his consecutive
hitting streak to II straight games.
Mack batted in six runs with a
homer, double and single and scored
four times.
Three HOmers Wasted.
A pair of homers by Danny Gar
della and one by Johnny Rucker
failed to help the Giants who drop
ped their 18th game in the last "a,
and fell into the second division
for the first time this season.
Those onrushing Brooklyn Dodg-

the Philadelphia Phillies, 4-2e eand

of the second-place Pittsburgh
