RETIRED FROM ACTIVE MAN
AGEMENT LAST YEAR WHEN
► ILL HEALTH CAME
HADDOCK. Ga., May 14, (JP)—
George T. Stallings, called the
“Miracle Man” of baseball because
of his leadership of one of the most
lemavkable championship clubs of
majoi league history, the Boston
Braves of 1914, died yesterday at his
home here. He had been in ill
health for sometime.
Always a colorful figure of base j
ball, Stallings never had been giv-m
the credit due him until his su- j
nreme achievement with the Bos- ;
• on Br ■ ves. He was'a smart base;
ball man, both as a player and |
manager, but in the opportunities
that came to him he encounTiereci j
obstacles that required even more j
than extraordinary ability to sur
mount.
Manager Stallings was a product j
ot a Georgia farm, where he was
born in 1886. It was there he un- :
consciously developed his throwing |
arm and gained control by hurling
stones at the stumps of trees. Ke
learned the rudiments of the game
at Richmond Academy, Augusta,
Ga., and from the academy team .
went to his first professional base I
ball job with the Oakland club of
the Pacific Coast League as catch- j
er.
When a young man Stallings j
married Miss Belle White of Had- j
dock, Ga., who later obtained a di- i
vorce. They had two sons. Hisj
wife of a second marriage died I
and some years later he married
the widow of Bud Sharp, a minor
league first baseman and close
friend, who had been a scout of
Stallings’ ball clubs many years.
One son was born of the third un
ion.
In addition to baseball, which ]
had been his principal business ac- I
tivity so many years, Stallings I
maintained a large plantation near !
Haddock, which he had owned up- !
wards of 30 years. He operated it J
mainlv as a stock farm and proved j
his business ability by making a j
success of it.
WAS NOT SO!

Lee Home are reported to be

I know an easy way to keep from
getting fat.Light a Lucky
15
instead of eating sweets.
I life

THE modem way to diet! Light
a Lucky when fattening sweets
tempt you. That’s what thousands of
lovely women are doing—successfully.
The delicately toasted flavor of Luckies
makes them a delightful alternative
for fattening sweets. Toasting does it.
Toasting removes the impurities and
improves the flavor of the finest to
bacco. That’s why folks say: “It’s good
to smoke Luckies.”
Men who pride themselves on keep
ing fit discovered this long ago. They
know that Luckies steady their nerves
and do not impair their physical con
dition-many prominent athletes have
testified to this fact. They discovered,
too, that Luckies don’t irritate the
throat—a fact subscribed to by
20,679 physicians.
A reasonable proportion of sugar in
the diet is recommended, but the
uthorities are overwhelming that too
fattening sweets are harmful
and that too many such are eaten by
the American people. So, for moder
ation’s sake we say:—
“REACH FOR A LUCKY
INSTEAD OF A SWEET”
