NEW YORK, July 3.—-One of the enduring myths of. .

‘baseball is that if your team is in first place July dth you're going to win the pennant. Like ‘most myths this . one isn’t guaranteed to function’ at all times. Just the same its percentage is reasonably impressive. In the Ameriéan league, for instance, the myth has stood up 27 times. in 44 campaigns. Very likely a check would - show a corresponding average in the National. : But the history of the game also shows it is possible for a team to be in last place on July 4th.and still win the pennant. The pep talkers and inspirational workers. like to keep this in mind at this tirfie of the year; they use the story of the Boston Braves of 1914 to res ive waning spirits and encourage new optimism among théir hirelings. Up to now, though, they haven't managed to bring about ‘a repeat Performmnes, oa Frew The Braves haven't contributed many epics to baseball, but this is * one accomplishment they own all alone, for no other league club ever came from last place on July 4th to win the pennant and, to make it better, to win the world series in four straight games ‘over ‘the supposedly invincible Athletics. ; : # » ” » s s n The late George Stallings was their managei and before the season was ended the baseball writers were referring to him as tite miracle man. ‘This probably wasn't too fantastic, either, because when you look back in review you are astonished at the absence of class material which the manager had at his disposal. Some sort of a miraculous touch seemed to have been needed. ; Onee you get past .the pitching staff you find few names which mean anything-té you today. You find none at all inscribed on the wall of the baseball hall of fame at Cooperstown, N: Y. And yet this team, starting from. so far back (actually the Braves didn’t get -out of the cellar until the last week in July) proved good enough to make a mockery of the strong A. L. champions in the playoffs How did they do it? . ; = “. o a o ” Hank Gowdy, just beginning his long and brilliant career as a catcher, explains it this way: : “Stallings had us believing we couldn't lose and when we did he was able to convince us it was an accident.” 2s 8 a p 2 8-8 : Stallings had a fine baseball mind and was the driving type of leader, a combination of McGraw and Rockne, I once heard him described. It is not hard to believe ‘he put something into his men that wasn't always at the snapping point. In the end this intensity weakened him and compelled. his retirement. In this connection Gowdy relates an incident which reveals the man’s bitter sense of humor. A friend asked Stallings what drove him out of the game. . “Bases on balls,” he groaned. ies. # Gowdy was one of the few authentic stars

excepting the three pitchers who carried the load in the box. Not only

was old Hankus-Pankus a standout during the regular season but he was a ball of fire in the world series. Up 11 times in the short series, - he got himself six hits, including three ‘doubles, a triple and a home run. He belted Connie Mack’s startled pitchers as if he owned them. After the series the usually conservative Stallings beamed: “Hank, that’s a performance baseball will never forget.” But two seasons later when Gowdy took a day off to get married Stallings exploded, “That'll
