Charley Stengel Recruit Who
Has Made Good in Big League
N o. S—CHARLEY STENGEL.
• This is the fifth of a series of ar
ticles on youngsters who made good
in the big leagues last season.)
By Sam Crane.
Cl l A RLEY STE X G E L only
played sixteen games with
the Brooklyns last season,
: >ut from the time he joined the
ub on September 17 until the sea
, ,n was finished lie attracted more
•tention than any other player on
• i,. home team.
In his first game as a big
• eaguer, when he played with the
Superbas against the Pittsburg Pi
rates. he made four safe hits in
four times at bat and drew a base
nn balls, reaching first base every
•iim up. That sensational debut
I'.’.- means of focussing more
attention on the new recruit than is
■su .1 y accorded a youngster, no
matte. how promising. That might
have feazejl some less nervy play
but not Stengel, who thrived on
• : spotlight notoriety, and lie con
•lnued to play the same rattling
,;p to the close of the season
istinguished Ms opening.
li the sixteen games he piayed
. i ill. Superbas. Stengel failed to
,i safe hit in but two contests.
President Ebbets had been fortu
i ..t, in securing promising play
p’s before, but ia appears as if he
had one of his most lucky "finds” in
oung Stengel.
D ooklyn fans are surely of that
.nion, and the new player will
;ir off next season on Ebbets
a. the Superbas’ new home, al
■-ml;. established as a popular fa-

L. or. if his laudation is not over
done.
Worked Hard to Succeed.
Stengel was obliged to take his
and to go through many dis
••uraging experiences before he
.• hod the goal of his ambition
id became a regular player on a
lg league team. The first record
. c.ainabie of him is when he went
• m trial with the Kansas City club
the spring of 1910. He did not
make a very good impression with
• > • ner Tebeau and he was released
to tiie Kankakee club in April of
that year. It was evident by bis
• ;i'h release that he was not given
fair chance to demonstrate his
ability.
NO MERCURY-NO POTASH
BUT A CERTAIN SAFE CURE
Do you know why so many Specific Blood Poison Victims are also suf
ferers of stomach trouble or Rheumatism? It is because they have filled
their systems with mercury or potash in an effort to cure the blood disor
der. These minerals cannot cure Specific Blood Poison; true such treat
rueut will sometimes temporarily remove the outward symptoms and hold
the poison in check but as soon as the minerals are left off the disease
breaks out again. Any system saturated with mercury or potash is neces
sai ilj- weakened and loses much of its resistive powers; it is a dangerous
treatment and should be left off by any who are using it. There is away
—a certain way —to cure Specific Blood Poison, and that is to cleanse the ■
blood with S. S. S., madeentirely of roots,
herbs and barks. It is a perfectly safe treat
C meat for any one and is certain in its good
® et results. S. S. S. has been recognized for
w many years as the greatest of all blood pn-
r'h ersand the safest of treatments for blood poison. Home Treatment Book

Tiie Kankakee manager did not
appreciate the youngster's worth,
and later in 1910 he was shifted to
Shelbyville. He was with the Au
rotp club in 1911, and it was then
that he first attracted the atten
tion of one of President Ebbets'
scouts, and the latter drafted him
for the Brooklyn club. Rut Sten
gel was not fixed even then. Eb
bets could find no opening for him
in the Superba outfield and re
leased him to the Toronto club.
Manager Joe Kelley passed the
youngster along to the .Montgomery
club, of the Southern league. It
was in the Alabama capital that
the much shitted youth first began
to shine, and then he forced his
abilitj to be recognized.
Stengel Attracted Scouts.
His heavy batting and good all
around play attracted the atten
tion of many scouts of big league
tubs and he was in demand for the
first time in his career. But the
Brooklyn club, by reason of the in
tricacies that surrounded baseball
and minor league players at the
time, still held claim to his serv
ices, and when the Montgomery
club disbanded at the close of the
Southern league season President
Ebbets recalled the youngster and
he reported at Washington park
September 17, giving him the op
j portunity of making his sensa
tional debut.
It. appears now a.s if he was at last
fiiiidy fixed as a regular on the
Brooklyn team.
lie was played in center field by
Manager Dahlen and immediately
•showed his worth. His fielding was
up to high class right from the
start, lie made an excellent side
partner to the speedy Zach Wheat,
who had long needed an associate
fielder who could cover as much
ground as he can.
ft was in batting, though, that
Stengel flashed. He surely had the
punch. He made three home runs
that were sandwiched In among
the eighteen safe hits he gathered
in the sixteen games?. He also
made nine runs. His batting av
enge was .333. His record with
the Superbas nt bat was:
Games played, 16; at bat. 54; runs. |
9; base hits, 18; home runs, .?; av
erage, .333.
Stengel is a left-hand* d batter
and thrower. Ha has a good arm
and is fairly fiat on the bases.
He will fill in with the Superbas I
next year in great shape. The play
er with the punch is always a val
uable man to any club anil Stengel
has demonstrated that he van sting
the ball.

I importance. The main topic of
discussion among the respective

result: each university is entirely
absorbed with its idol —“Lefty"
Flynn or Charley Brickley. accord
ing to whether the Blue legion or
the Crimson host is gathered to

Brickley is one of the greatest
backs that over donned moleskin
for Cambridge. He is more than
that —he is one of the grandest
| players of all gridiron history.
Competent critics have declared
him the most capable warrier of
I all time. But that seems estiniat
. ing his value too highly. It is quite
true that so far as the Princeton
game is concerned, Brickley per
jormed deeds that would rank with
the greatest efforts of any individ

Princeton battle is but one of many,
