AS A FLAG BOY! STALLINGS CALLED THE TURN “Speaking of 1914, after which we gave Gowdy a wonderful home- coming celebration in Columbus, I always recall a remark Stall- ings made to me the day before the start of the world series be- tween the Braves and the Phila- delphia’ Athleties,” continued Mr Quinn. “George turned to me and said. ‘Bob, they tell me old Connie | Mack has been saving that Indian Bender, for eight days to fire at us in the opening game. If we beat him tomorrow, we will win four straight. And every man on our club feels just as confident as 3 a0 " As most everyone knows, the Braves fulfilled Stallings’ predic- tion by beating Bender and pro- ceeded to astound the baseball world and the Athletics by running ut the series in four games.

JUHNSUN FAGES TOUGH PROBLEM Hale, Lonesome for Thu‘dl Base, Tries Keystone for Indians By RALPH WHEATLEY NEW ORLEANS, La., April 5.— Turning a third baseman into a second baseman is tough enough,| but when a played doesnt' like| the job it is a serious problem. Such a dilemna has Walter Johnson knitting his brows in his effort to reshape the Cleveland In- dians into a challenging team. ‘The sale of Cissell to Boston left second base vacant, and Odel Hale was ordered there from the key corner. So far Hale hasn't‘ got his footing on second, and he looks with a longing eye over to- ward his old home place back at| third. | If Hale does not shake his home sickness soon Knickerbocker may yet the call at second, but that} is not expected to solve the prob-!| lem. Johnson needs a tried and tested second baseman badly and| he knows it. He had counted on getting Mel- | lilo from the St. Louis Browns but the Browns wanted too much for him. Another source of woe to John- son is the hold-out of the ace) pitcher, Wesley Ferrell, who is sit- | ting over at his North Carolina home whistling whenever the In-! dian camp is mentioned. At first | his hold-out was not taken ser-| iously, but now it appears he means | real business instead of monkey business. But out side of these two trou-| bles Johnson feels he has a good ball club and when they settle down team worthy of any foe, ;Grigsby, George, Coliseum Apts. | Helgesen, C., res., |Hermle, John, res., Seventh and Gold Sts 5 l’uranen Isaac, re: | Wold, R.
