of the second game impossible, the
loafing and stalling Indulged In
by both (earns thoroughly disgust

This condition of affairs Is large
ly the fault of the umpires, and
when some fan In the grandstand
chided Umpire Rudderham for the
constant and aggravating delays,
the umpire shouted to him that he
could go home if he did not like
it. I do not believe that an urn

Stahl Predicts a Pennant for the Boston Red Sox
Jake’s Own Story of Why His Men Head Race
By Jake Stahl.
(Written so? The Georgian by the
manager of the Boston Red Sox.)
Wv expect to win the pennant
That is a statement that
might be anticipated from
any manager whose team had a
reasonable chance to win. But we
have a reason. From a poor start
we are out in front. We have no
old. worn-out men who are likely
to go to pieces. Our team is round
ed into a good organization. We
have a. catching staff In good shape,
five pitchers twirling winning base
ball. the best outfield in the coun
try and an infield which is doing
all that it is called upon to do. On
that we base our expectation of
keeping in front in the American
legue race.
It is a long stretch from now un
til the end of the reason and there
is no telling what may happen in
that time. We are out in front
now. though, and while 1 can't ab
solutely that we are going to stay
there. 1 can ssry. confidently, that
we expect to.
Os course. I will have to admit,
as would any other man. that there
are too many angles to baseball
and too many chances taken to
make the positive assertion that
we are going to win the champion
ship of the American league. Such
a statement on my part w*buld be
preposterous, on the face of it. But
I can repeat that I expect my club
to hold the lead it no* has. and if
It does not I -hall be exceedingly
surprised and disappointed
Will Holds Its Gait.
There is every reason to believe
that the club will hold its present
gait. Our players are al! young
and "coming." We are in better
shape now than at any other time
this season. If we have been able
to come up from a poor start, and
that while we were only rounding
into form, and take the lead we
have non. it would seem but rea
sonable to suppose that we can
stall off any rush on the part -of
another club
Two weeks ago In New York we
took five straight from the crip
pled Highlanders, and the advan
tage that gave us instilled lots of
confidence in the players. They all
believe that Boston has a pennant
winning club, and are going to do
their utmost to prove it. it |r
realized bf every one on the team
that they have never had the
chance they have now of taking
part in a world’s series' Those five
in a row from New York did my
team a lot more good than the mere
advantage given jt in the percent
age column.
We are leading th? league now
because we are playing good base
ball—better ball than any of the
other clubs. There is not another
theam in the circuit that is hit
ting. fielding or playing in any way
superior to us. There is absolute
harmony in the ranks —every man
pulling with th? others without t
discordant mote. That is.about all
there is to it so far. and I see no
reason why we should not main
tain the high standard.
Joe Wood the Mainstay.
*>f i otfl'se. Jo? Wood has bc?n
our mainstay gll season, and to him
we mainly owe the fact that we
are holding the lead we have Jt
was due to his excellent box work
that we were able to win games
early in the year when th? club,
as a whole, was in poor shape Had
it not been for the fact that Wood
was able to go in two days every
week and twirl air-tight ball from
start tn finith, w? would have lost
several games before we got fairly
started and probably would not be
in our present position
Wood has been more consistent
’his year than e'er, and bad the
club been going behind him. during
the early part of the year as it is
now he (would hardly have lost a
game. Yes. I think it is to him
most of the credit should be given
for our present standirrg.
By handing praise to Wood es
pecially I don’t mean to detract
one bit from the value of the other
men on the pitching staff They
have done their share and deserve
a lot of credit, but I can't help say
ing that to YVood shwtild go the
most of it.
We have the greatest outfield in
the country. Its wonderful ability
on the offensive and defensive has
been of Immense value to the club.
Al! three men have been hitting
well and fielding their positions al
most perfectly. There is not an
other trio in either the American or
National league that can be com
pared favorably with it. It has
shown such marked superiority to
the other clubs in this circuit that
it has aroused comment in ever'
city.
Speaker’s fine, consistent work
has scored a lot of runs for us. l.’n
til a few weeks ago he was the only
man on the club outside of Wood
who was working up to his regular
standard, and he was generally re
sponsible for the majority of runs
we scored. I remember one game
especially in w hich he made four
hits out of four times up. and drove
in every run we mad?, and practi
cally won for us. I believe we only
made six or seven hits that, day
altogether.
Banking on the Pitchers.
The infield is working well and
there, " ill be no changes in it un
less we are forced to make them
because of injuries. As a whole,
the Infield is playing up to the
standard of any of the other clubs,
and better than the majority of
them. Os course. I can not say
much about the infield because i
am a member of it.'
But 1 will speak, though, of
"Heinie” Wagner. Wagner i hav
ing the best year of his life. There
is not another shortstop in the
league playing as good baseball as
he is right now. and he seems tn
be improving with every dav’s
work. He is the bis unit which
holds the inner works of the team
together. Besides fielding and
throwing perfectly, he is playing a
