BOB WALLACE IS HEADY MAN

Able Lieutenant in Jack Hendricks’ Board of Strategy—Has Directed Many Plays. - Jack Hendricks was a wise guy of the diamond when he won a pennant for Denver in the Western league and was a mighty smart manager when he pulled Indianapolis through to a flag in tjie American association. A lot of persons thought Jack was due for a reversal of form early this year when it- seemed the Cardinals, whom Je' is managing, would never win another game, but Jack has fooled some people just as he did In Denver and the Hoosier capital. One reason for Jack’s reversal of form is to be found in his able lieutenants. Jack liked Bobby

Wallace, one of Hendricks’ board of strategy. Wallace, in his prime, was the king pin of American league shortstops and a heady man on the infield. He directed many plays for the Browns and even today could go In and give a good, account of himself. It’s on the Hendricks’ board of strategy, however, that Wallace will come handy. One can’t win games without hitting, but a good board of strategy helps a lot.

Bobby Wallace.
