IN FANDOM'S PRAISE OF ATHLETIC
MACHINE, SEEMS TO ENTIRELY
OVERLOOK THE ABILITY OFTHE
BRAHES
Stallings’ Machine is New---It Doesn’t Run Quite As Smooth
ly As the Grand Philadelphia One, Because Its Cogs Are
New and All the Roughness on Some of Them Has’nt Had
Time to Wear Off As Yet.
New York. —Fandom in general,
while lauding the great Athletic ma
chine, and predicting what it will do
in the world series, seems to entirely
overlook the fact that George Stallings
of the Braves has assembled one of
the greatest baseball machines that
ever represented the National League.
The Stallings machine is new. It
doesn’t run quite as smooth as the
trand Philadelphia machine because
it's cogs are new and all the roughness
on some of the cogs hasn’t had time to
wear away. But, nevertheless that
Boston machine has a terrific drive,
a terrific power, and an endurance
that is marvelous. And fandom soon
will find that the Athletic machine
hasn’t such a huge edge on the little
heralded but great Boston machine.
The Athletics probably will finish
the season with a higher rating than
the Braves. They will have won more
games and lost fewer. On the surface
this would seem to show that the
Athletics are far superior as a team.
But, in digging under the surface, you
will find that the Braves since the
l latter part of July have played better
’and more consistent baseball than
have the Athletics.
Mack Machine.
When the 1914 season opened Con
nie Mack had his machine intact. He
sent it along on its course. He didn’t
need to experiment, didn't need to
tinker. The machine was perfect. But
how different was the case with Stal
lings.
Stallings had to spend nearly three
months of the 1914 season in experi
ments. He had plenty of material—
but what wa. the right combination?
That was his big problem. Outside of
Evers at second and Maranvllle at
short he wasn't sure which men have
qualified for,the different positions.
He placed Schmidt at first and kept
him there, although the big German
made mistakes during the early part
of the year that lost games for his
team. But Stallings saw a diamond in
the rough. Constant playing and the
resultant gathering of experience had
developed Schmidt into one of the
most reliable first sackers in the
game.
Stallings didn't know what Gowdy
could do behind the bat. He had to
experiment. He wasn’t sure which of
his outfielders were the three he need
ed for regular duty. Again he had to
experiment. The pitching question
was a hard one for him to solve. He
didn’t know that the right combina
tion was James, Tyler and Rudolph
until he had tried out some of the
others who pitched poorly and lost
game* for him.
Had to Juggle.
Until the early part of July Stallings
had to Juggle, experiment and tinker.
Time and again he seemed to have
tls machine In working order, ’t would
nake a few perfect revolutions—and
:hen one or another of the cogs would
■Up. He had to tear the machine
lown again and rebuild.
It was along about July 7th that
Stallings got his marhtne Into real
working order. And then he sent It
tlong on Its way. The result was
that the Bravea have p.ayed the most
lensatlonal baseball In the history of
:h# game. The team, seemingly hope
eae’.y Jammed into last place, started
arlth the precision of a clock and the
speed of a cyclone. Terrible and re
lent'.eee It moved along, smashing to
ihreda every bit of opposition that
sffered, never stopping, never hesi
tating In Its whirlwind dash from the
■ow'.'est depths to the crest of Na
.loral League.
When Stallings got his machine Into
notion the club, In last place, had a
Handing of 18 games won and 40 lost
—a percentage of 4.12. The Athletics
in the seme day—July 7th--had a
itandlng of .881, having won 41 garnet
md lost only 26.
From that point on It is fair to
udge the respective qualities of the
he two teams—and the Judgment fa
>ors the Braves by a healthy margin.
>n that day the Athletica were 14 full
:snM, 210 polnta ahead of the Braves,
hit look at the standings today and
■n n will find that the Bravea have re
,l toed that edge almost to nothin*.

“Tobacco Wise”
Tuxedo is the Tobacco Chosen by Opera Stars
MEN who depend upon their voices
come to know tobacco as the ordi
nary smoker never knows it. A sen
sitive throat or mouth feels the slightest
sting, bite or scorch of tobacco.
1 uxedo is the one tobacco which singers,
actors, public speakers—all men who guard
their throats zealously can smoke with
pleasure and safety.
Tuxedo tobacco cannot sting, bite or irri
tate the delicate membranes of the mouth
or throat.
skbcedo
7*Ae Perfect Tobacco for Pipe and Cigarette
Tuxedo tobacco has made thousands of men
converts to the pipe, because it has made pipe
smoking possible for them. Under the famous
I uxedo I recess the mild, tender leaves of the
highest grade Burley tobacco are so skillfully treated
that I uxedo burns slowly and affords a cool, mild
thoroughly enjoyable pipe
smoke.
Leading men in all
walks of life—well-known

isters, lecturers, etc.—
smoke Tuxedo and testify
to its soothing influence
on the throat.

Augustan* were delighted to greet
Mr. Field, himself taking the part of
Interlocutor this year. Although the

The inimitable little comedian, Bert

One of the most interesting: episodes of
the series. Don’t Miss It.
By Bud Fisher
There were songs new to Augusta
Introduced by members of the sweet
singers' chorus that seemed to take
well with the audience. Among them
were ''Mooching Along,” and "Aunt
Jemlna," by Joe Coffman; “You Have
to Rag It,” by Jack Kennedy; “Down
Where the Old Midstream Flows,” uy
Ku Hughes; "Roll On, Beautiful World,
Roll On," by Jack Richards, and "All
Aboard for Dixie,” by West Avery.
The "Durktown Tango,” put on by
Ryan and Maokert, was excruciatingly
funny. It kept the entire house laugh
ing all the time and won vociferous
applause. A comical Imitation of both
the “Hesitation” waltz and the "Tan
go” was given to perfection.
New scenic effects, new costumes,
new songs and now Jokes made the
same Field's Minstrels please again
this year.
