Stahl Predicts a. Pennant for the Boston Red Sox
•£••+ +•4" 4-*4- -J-g-r H-**?
Jake’s Own Story of Why His Men Head Race
By Jake Stahl.
(Written for The Georgian by the
manager of the Boston Red Sox.)
WTC 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 W inning 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 season and there
is no telling what’ may happen in
that time. We are out in front
now, though, and while I can't ab
solutely that we are going to stay
there. I can say, confidently, that
we expect to.
Os course. I will have tn 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 would be
preposterous, on the face of it. But
I can repeat that I expect my club
to hold the lead it now has. and if
it does not I shall 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 all 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 now. 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 ail
Relieve that Boston has a pennant
winning club, and are going to do
their utmost to prove it. It is
realized by every one on the team
that they' have never had the
chance Jhey have now of taking
part in a world's series. Those five
in a row frem New York did my
team a lot more good than the mere
advantage given it in the percent
age column.
We Ik'f leading the league now
because we are playing good base
ball —better ball than any of th*
other clubs. There is not another
theam in the circuit that is hit
ting. fielding 01 playing in any way
superior to us. Thar* is absolute
harmony in the ranks —every man
pulling with the others without a
discordant note. 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 Mainetay,
Os course. Joe Wood has been
our mainstay all season, and to him
we mainly owe the fact that we
are holding the lead we have. It
was due to his excellent box work
we were able to win games
V early in the year when the club.
a« a whole, was in poor shape. Had
it not been for th* fact that Wood
was able to go in two daj’s every
week and twirl air-tight bail from ‘
start to firti'h. we would haw lost
several games before w e got fairly
started and probabty would not b*
in our present position.
Wood has been more consistent
this year than e'er, and had ’he
dub been going behind him during
the early part of the year as it is
row he would hardly have lost a
! game. Yes. 1 think it is to him
most of the credit should be given
for our present standing.
By handing praise to Wood es
pecially I don't mean t.o 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 Wood should 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.
All 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 every
city.
Speaker's fine, consistent work
has scored a lot of runs for us. Un
til a few weeks ago he was the only
man on tlie cluh 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 which he made four
hits out of four times up. and drove
in every run we made and practi
cally won for us. 1 believe we only
made six or seven »hits that day
altogether.
Banking on the Pitchers.
The Infield is working well and
there will he 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.
Rut 1 will speak, though, of
"Heinie" Wagner. Wagner is 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 to
be Improving with every day's
work. He is the big unit which
holds the inner works of the team
together. Besides fielding and
throwing perfectly, he Is playing a

Our catching staff is also in fin*

It is the pitching staff I am bank
