MALL NOTES

The home team continues to dig in. * * Stallings still carries six outfielders, more than any other manager apparently needs. • • * It is said that Johnny Evers will not be with the Braves next year.

There’s nothing in it • * * Tony Walsh has been doing great work on first base for Scranton and the Miners at last seem to have that position provided for after experimenting all season. • • • Johnny Dell has another Jc-b, or did have at last accounts. He caught on with Lawrence after his release by Bridgeport, and was sent to the outfield by Manager Burkett • * • Manager Jennings evidently made no mistake when he supplanted Crawford with Heilman in Detroit’s right field. Heilman Is hitting at a .8M clip and is fielding splendidly;
