J Drucke was on the payroll of the New

.J Stallings, who was managing 'he
fl Yank-es. New York's American
j leagtr entry that year, saw Rudolph j
M pitch parts of games for the Giants

J cellar to second position, and Stall

Makes Castoffs Star Player6.
fallings has mad star players out
of other castoffs, am-mg them Pitcher
Big Bill James, who was sent back
, to the minors by his predecessor,
Kling1. Pitcher George Davis, once
of the Yankees, Is another youth on
the Stallings roster who is called a
find by Stallings, though the latter
has been saving biru for later use In
case James, Rudolph and lefty George
Tyler break under the strain of pitch
ing two games apiece every week.
Outfielder Ted Gather and Utility In
fielder Whitted. from the Cardinals
in trade for Kub Perdue, are making
Miller dragging regret that he evor let
them get awav from him
Another one of the Stallings devel
opments tills year Is big Schmidt, his
first baseman He saw this over
grown gawk perform against the Dod
gers and Giants back in the early
spring and wondered h Stallings
ever let long Nap Myers get away
from him last year. If ever a fellow
looked like an incompetent It was
Schmidt. He was clumsy on taking
thrown ballB. couldn t throw himself
and was as slow as molasses in Jan
uary when trying to run the bases
Braves Clean Up Giants.
Last week we saw the Braves clean
up the Giants three straight here.
Srhraidt had as much to do with the
victories as anybody else He hit the
ball squarely on the nose, and hard.
He ran bases like a blue streak, con-1
sidering his Immense size. But best
of all was his Holding. Ho hoped
around that obi first bag like Freddie
Welsh outpointing Willie Ritchie. He
picked em out of the air at a full
length stretch dug 'em out of the
ground and whipped 'em across the
diamond on a line when necessity de
manded. Schmidt was not the most
graceful player in the world to watch, j
Neither is Hans Wagner graceful. But i
Schmidt got there, accomplishing ev
ery fielding task that he attempted.
To use that word sensation again, he
was one.
Stallings has picked up other youths
who are playing the game up to the
handle. Rabbit Maranvllle is possibly
the best shortstop in tne game, or at
least very close to it. Dugey, Con
nolly, Gilbert and Mann are outfield
ers in addition to Gather and Devore
who are delivering the goods. Stall
ings has use for all six, using the
three left-handed batters against the
right handed pitchers and the ihree
right handed hitters against south
paws. Red Smith With Braves.
Nearls forgot to speak about Red
Smith. Just sold by the Brooklyn Dod
gers to the Braves two weeks ago
Smith now is playing a shifty game
around third base for Stallings. be
ing considerably better than Charley
Deal, who at that is another Improv
ed player under Stallings after being
cast away by the Detroit Tigers a
couple of yean ago.
Johnnj Evers there's the only fin
ished ball player Stallings has who
was acquired in the finished state.
The big deal with the Chicago Cub3
after Charles Webb Murphy kicked
Evers out lg still remembered vividly
by most of the fans Johnny is play
ing much better ball this year than
he had pht up for several seasons,
thanks to the Stallings method of
gingering up his men.
