C Jj.iiiK WITH the Boston Braves of 1947 making threatening pennant gestures for the first time since 1914, a somewhat Inside story of the old Stallings outfit might be worth telling. In 1914, the Braves, under the fiery Miracle Man, George Stall' Ings, were 15 games on me pace, as laie $ 9 U1 , BUU WIC were still last on T i , a rr'i it rfuiv jo. iutu viie i miracle of base- ball's miracles took place, as they went on to win the pennant pen-nant and beat the Athletics 4 straight. B. Southworth But part of the story of the Braves of 1914 goes back to the spring' training program of that year in the South to a pair of great com' petitors, possibly the greatest that ever wore spiked shoes. Their names were Maranville and Evers, the Rabbit and the Crab. Heading north that year, I stopped oft for a few days at the Braves camp in March. The main idea was to call on a few old friends, such as Hank Gowdy, Johnny Evers and Rabbit Maranville. Intending to spend only a day or so, I hung around longer, for it was the most interesting camp I had run across. In an exhibition game that after noon, Evers and Maranville collided at second base, each trying to cover the bag. Both seemed to be badly jolted, but neither gave any sign of being hurt. I noticed Maranville, a few minutes min-utes later, looking for some lost object ob-ject around second base. "What were you looking for?" I asked the Rabbit In the dugout later. "Two of my teeth," he said, "where my mouth collided with Johnny's head. He's got a tough head." A short while later, Evers was hit on the arm with a fast ball. He gave no sign of being hurt, as he grinned and started for first base. They Could Take It Another member of the Braves was hit, and he also showed no sign of any trouble, although he carried a lump above his elbow. Here, outside of the genial Hank Gowdy, was a rather snarling, taugh group, without too much ability. The team had Dick Rudolph, George Tyler and Bill James pitching, pitch-ing, but they had never looked like Johnson, Alexander and Mathew-son, Mathew-son, or Feller, Newhouse, Shea and BlackwelL As far as one could see here was a ball club that might finish sixth or seventh or even eighth. The squad, that week, had shown no power at all. Only some pretty fair pitching. ' That night, Maranville told me what was taking place. "I lost two teeth," he said, "and I never blinked. Two men were hit, and they never rubbed their arms. We've made a rule on this club that nobody can show he has been hurt, not even if he gets a concussion, not even if he gets his block knocked off. Don't think losing los-ing two teeth was any fun. It hurt. But I never let anyone know it. I like that brand of baseball. Don't ever let 'em know you've been hurt." The Victory Drive I lost considerable interest in this Maranville philosophy when the Braves were last on July 4, 15 games away from the first place. "What about it now?" I said to the Rabbit, about that time. "Just warming up," he said. "Just warming up. Watch us in the stretch." It was from late July on that the Braves, headed by the driving force of George Stallings, a great manager, man-ager, a fighter from every known angle, plus Rudolph, Tyler and James, went to work. Stallings told me later he lost four pairs of trousers sliding up and down the bench. "I was full of bench splinters," he said. Dick Rudolph was one of the best, and one of the smartest pitchers in baseball history. Tyler and James came to his help. Day after day you got this refrain "Rudolph, Ty-ler Ty-ler and James." They caught Ohe Giants in the stretch, picked up 15 games on one of McGraw's good teams, and then wrecked the Athletics in four straight in the world series. And all the Athletics had was Bender and Plank and Bush, Collins, Col-lins, Mclnnis, Baker, Barry and what looked to be one of the great teams of all time a team that had won four pennants in five years. u wasn't even a contest. Southicorth's Team Now the Braves of 1947, just 33 years later, under the able direction direc-tion of Billy Southworth, another great manager, are among the teams to beat These Braves ar4 A L c 1 '..w.- .- a much better ball club than the Braves of 1914. But, whether or not they can show the same amount of iron In their systems as this miracle squad offered against a forlorn for-lorn hope. Is another guess. It isn't often that any team has a Maranville and an Evers on the same squad, two blazing spots of flame.

Done in one piece, the spokes are crocheted cro-cheted into spaces, the color matching the center. To freshen a shabby gilt picture frame, apply the white of an egg with a soft brush. To clean soiled wallpaper quickly, quick-ly, dip a clean cloth into dry powdered pow-dered borax and rub it all over the soiled parts. . If a sewing machine is left idle for a considerable time, oil it oc casionally to prevent the old oil in the machine from drying and becoming be-coming gummy. . If your feet are tired, you will look tired. Soak your feet and baby them. Spread an old sheet over the floor when small children are cutting cut-ting pictures from magazines or making paper dolls. It will save their clothes, keep cuttings off the rug and can be rinsed out when soiled. To remove a strong odor from a jar or bottle, use dry mustard. Wash the receptacle with soap and water after the mustard has been used. To protect your hands from steel wool, cut a small rubber ball in half and stuff the half with steel wool. Remove the wrapper from a bar of soap and let the bar dry and harden before you use it. Hard soap lasts longer than does soft, moist soap. Moldy walnut finishes often can be cleansed and restored to normal nor-mal condition by rubbing very lightly with fine steel wool dipped in machine oil. Wipe dry and apply ap-ply a wax base furniture polish.
