In 1914, the Braves, under the fiery Miracle Man, George Stallings, were 15 games oil the pace, as late as July 4, and they were still last on July 18. Then the miracle of baseballs miracles took place, as they went on to win the pennant and beat the Athletics 4 straight. But part of the story of the Braves of 1914 goes back to the spring-trainin- g program of that year in the South to a pair of great competitors, possibly the greatest that ever wore spliced shoes. Their names were Maranville and Evers, the Rabbit and the Crab. Heading north that year, I stopped off 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, Jolinny 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 afternoon, 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 later, looking for some lost object around second base, What were you looking for? I asked the Rabbit in the dugout later. he said, Two of my teeth, where my mouth collided with Johnnys head. Hes 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.

By Margarita THE POISON onwnFQ r.nnr r They Could Take It MUTT AND JEFF By Bud Fisher By Arthur Pointer 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, tough group, without too much ability. The team had Dick Rudolph, George Tyler and Bill James pitching, but they had never looked like Johnson, Alexander and Mathew-soor 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. Weve 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. Dont think losing two teeth was any fun. It hut. But I never let anyone know it. I like that brand of baseball. Dont ever let em know youve been hurt. The Victory Drive REGLAR FELLERS By Gene Byrnes 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 Watch us in the warming up. stretch. It was from late July on that the Braves, headed by the driving force of George Stallings, a great manager, 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, Tyler and James. They caught the Giants In the stretch, picked up 15 games on one of McGraws good teams, and then wrecked the Athletics in straight in the world series. And all the Athletics had was Bender and Plank and Bush, Collins, Mclnnis, Baker, Barry and what looked to bo one of the great teams of all time a team that had won four pennants In five years.
