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 SCOTTISH RITE MASONRY The brethren of the co-ordinate bodies of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite.
