Tho team lines up stronger than last summer. There Is more com pactness, a look of harmonious ball playing. The team should finish better than It did In ft fall. The loss of Mnramlllo at lean ha helped Stalling out of ono big dilemma, which was the posslbllll nf trying to get through a season with tho Rabbit und Buck Herzog on the tame team. These plajera nre historic enemies, tholr mutual antagonism being so keen and deep seated as ueccs-i.-irlly to have caused Htalllngs a lot of sleepless itlEhts had ho been com pelled to try to assimilate tho two In his llnc-up. Tho players rodo each other all last season, and whenever tho Olatu.s and Ilravos met their brushes always threatened wnr and Injected much spice Into tho games. Herzog la as much of u problem to handle by himself as nny other player in tho panic, and Stalllngs may thank his stars that ho can address Ills task of tho present season without any complication suoh ns tho Maranvllle case suggests. WHEN ii is iccallcd that McGraw has been compelled threo times to get rid of Herzog, twice directly on account of Inability to get along with the player, tome definite Idea ma be had of Stall Ings's Job ahead, part cularly ns tho Boston manuger is about as positive, and peppery In his own peculiar way as Is tho Giant leader.

For the last three seasons the rough-.ind rendj southpaw of the Urooklj n team has. seen service on ono team. The year previous to his Hrooklyn con nection lie likewise was tho property of n single team, Newark, of tho International. Until he got a real foothold, however, he was the shuttlo coclt and the battledore of the diamond pastime. From 1910 through 191S lie performed In nine leagues nnd on eleven teams, being twlco within that time a member of tho Ilrates. During his debutanto year, 1910, ho didn't cover much territory as a moundsman for tJrcensboro In tlio Carolina As sociation and Jacksonville In the South Atlantic. Tlio next year, however, he had Ty Cobb looking like a cigar store Indian as far ns ground rovcrlnfj la concerned. During that busj chapter of tho new soldier's career ho did a Jack rabbit through six teams in four leagues. Ho started with Pitts burgh, tarried a brief spell at Minneapolis and then did time In rapid suc cession with Forth Worth and Galveston In tho Texas I.caguo nnd with Greenwood and Meridian, Miss., in tlio Cotton States League, Diirlns 1912 tlio great hurdler slowed up considerably, and again In tho following season was able to cut himself down to two leagues per annum. IIo started with Pittsburgh ns usual in 1912 and finished with Springfield, III., In tlfo Central, and tho ne.t scat.011 confined his activities to I.ouisvlllo in tho American Association and Urand Itaplds In tho Central. Then ho hit his stride with Newnrk and hns been a rcsula'r pitcher ever since.
