The major leagues endeavor in every possi ble way to shorten the Mime of the games, and the American league has prohibited the pitching of four halls by the pitcher be tween innings in order tp attain tills end. I nopld like to have f some one explain why it is nec essary for a pitcher te> pitch these balls between innings, and for th* catcher to throw the last hall to the second baseman, it con sumes time, ft adds no Interest to the game, and it certainly does not do the pitcher any good or any harm. It is simply a habit that might to be abolished. Further, the fans are treated to the spectacle of the players walking out to their positions be tween Innings, the only member of the local team showing any life in this way is Callahan By actual count, six full minutes have been taken up by the team coming tn from the field before a ball was pitched to their first batter. Also, why should games be started at t p. m. instead of 3.50 p. in.'' A game starting at 4 p. m. is lately finished before after a odock, and this seriously in terferes with the evening meal of a great many people.

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 SCOTTISH RITE MASONRY.

If he is not injured nor handicapped in any way before the season is over, he will hang up one of the greatest records ever made by a shortstop. Our catching staff is also in fin* shape. Carrigan and Cady are both going along well, and the former has been doing some mighty fin* work holding up the younger mem bers of the pitching staff. It is the pitching staff I am bank ing on now. and it is our main hope. We have five men in th* best of shape and ready to take their regular turn on the mound, with the odds in favor of each of them winning his game any time he works. Wood. O’Brien. Hall.
