Another baseball star shot into vaudeville from the Braves after winning the World’s Series. Maranville played last year and has a little merit. His demonstration of coaching tricks which includes indescribable antics in the limited space that won him the name of “Rabbit” long before he became the Braves’ shortstop brought down the house. Monday afternoon, with Eddie MacHugh as a partner. Maranville scored three hits and one error, the error coming in his forgetting the lines of “Playland,” a ballad that he had done well with in rehersals. It is an act, like all the others, that will have but a short life, but Maranville puts more ginger into his turn than is the custom. Anywhere in New England he will pack a house. Whether he will play New York and Philadelphia depends on how those managers dope the prospects.
