Braves Showings Worries Manager After Athens Trip
The Braves have the entire squad under one roof as Secretary Nickerson and Trainer Neary return with 13 players left in Athens. Faculty officials criticized Coach Cunningham over using Sanford Field for practice, and urged Manager Stallings to return to Athens if needed. The Crackers, like Boston, suffer bad weather but Atlanta shows stronger progress. The manager will likely push for greater effort this week.

Stallings Plans Daily Practices and Games With Atlanta Club
Stallings arranges to use the Atlanta ball grounds from 10 30 to 12 30 each day and to play a game each afternoon with the local club. He believes Boston can reach the city faster here than in Athens and that a few games with a fast Atlanta club will help more than workouts with college players. He expresses concern over the Braves poor development and notes the pitchers’ weakness after three or four innings, blaming wet weather and urging more pep from the team.
