BILL LUNGE SAYS
CUBS WILL WIN
PENNANT
Bv William A. Lange.
(The greatest center fielder Chicago
ever had.)
SAX FRANCISCO. CAL., Sept. 5.
It still looks to me as if Uhi
— eago was going to win the
National league pennant. They
nave cut down a long lead held by
X w York until now only six games
separate the leaders fi'om their de
t. mined opponents.
I like chance’s team, because I
timik Frank is one of the greatest
... is that ever handled a base
i.all club. Not only is he a great
. ader on the field, but he has great
judgment in securing and handling
men.
The trade by which he got Leach
and Leifield from Pittsburg in.ex
change for Hofman and ' King'’
Cole was a good one. as results
have proved. Chance wanted men
with plenty of backbone and grit
to make the long stern chase which
the Giants’ early lead presented
io the other clubs. In Tommy
Leach he has a man who doesn’t
know what it is to give up or to
he afraid of anything-.
1 am of the opinion that the Cubs
r a\ better inside baseball than the
Giants, which is offset to some ex
tent by the great speed of the New
Yorkers on the bases. Frank
Chance will be working like a beav
er until tlte last hope has fled or
tin- pennant has been won. He is a
man of great resource.
When'Chance was catching on
nut old Chicago ream he always
h .ii something new to spring, and
qualities he showed as a play
• r he now shows as a manager.

Jake Stahl Was an All-Round
Athlete During College Days
By .J. Mcßeth.
JAKE STAHL is probably the
biggest man in baseball right
now. The manager of a pen
nant winner is always worshiped
by fandom. Jake is not only the
generalissimo of the Boston gon
falon expedition, but one of the
strongest players on the team as
well. In view of this fact, I be
lieve it is high time that those who
are not familiar with his baseball
life better "get next;" so here
goes:
Garland Stahl was born in Elk
hart, 111., on April 13, 1880. His
parents, both of whom are living,
were American born, his father of
German and his mother of Scotch
irish extraction. An older brother
is engaged in the hardware and
agricultural implement business in
his old home. He has two sis
ters. One is married and lives in
Chicago.
l-irSt, where did Stahl ged the
nickname, "Jake?*’ That story has
no connection with baseball. In
z Elkhart lived a hermit known as
"Old t’ncle Jake," a simple-minded
but harmless and likable character.
He took a fancy to the boy, and
they became such boon compan
ions they were soon known as "Old
Jake" and “Young Jake." When
Stahl went to the University of Il
linois. although he did not know a
soul there, the name followed. It
has stuck ever since.
Started as a Pitcher.
Stahl attended the Elkhart pub
lic and high schools, from which he
was giaduated in 1897. He played
on the town team as the regular
pitcher. In addition, he was some-?
thing of a hurdler and high jumper
in the school meets. When Stahl
was graduated from the high
school his father offered him a col
lege education or a place in the
store. Jake chose the lattei. In
less than two years ho was cured
and asked his father if the other
offer "still went.” It did. So Jake
entered the J’niversity of Illinois
in th" fall of 1898. There he played
four years of varsity baseball and
rout years of football.
When Stahl began his college ca
reer he weighed only 148 pounds,
but played guard and tackle on the
freshman footbal 1 °'oven. The
next spring he went out for the
baseball nine, ( art Lundgren, Fred
Falkenberg and Jimmy <'ook were
freshmen at the same time. None
of them made the varsity, which
was composed of veterans, in the
first year. Walter Thornton was
coaching the pitchers and devoted
much time to Stahl, but finally ad
vised him to give up pitching be
cause of lack of control.
Stahl's first varsity game, the
following year, shaped his early
baseball career. In the ninth in
ning of a contest against Michigan,
with the bases full and Illinois
leading. 9 to 6. a Michigan bats
man hit a long fly toward Stahl,
who had been stationed in the out
field. Stahl misjudged the ball. It
ven for a home run. Illinois was
beaten. 10 to 9. But Stahl got
four hits that day, and the Illinois
i atelier did about as poorly in his
position as Stahl in the outfield.
In the next game Director George
Huff, who now acts as scout for
Cleveland in summer, put Stahl
behind the bat. After that he was
the regular catcher.
Scored Three Touchdowns.
As left guard on the football
• leven Stahl scored three of the
touchdowns which defeated the
University of Chicago in 1902 by
a score of -3 to 0. Western fans
well remember that game, and how
on a lake interference play Stall!
tini’ and again tore around the
opposite tackle for sure gains when 1
the distance was needed for a first
doxy 11.
After his graduation, in 1903.
Stahl had offers from the Chicago
Nationals and Boston Americans.
He wished to join his old battery
partner. Lundgren, at ('hicago, but

ary of SSOO a month. Chicago did
not meet the figure; so Stahl went
to Boston He took part in 38
games, owing to injuries to "Duke"
Farrell and Lou Criger, and bat
ted .299.
Stahl was sent to Washington
tlie following season and became a
first baseman. He took part in 141
games and batted .261. In 1905 and
1906 Stahl acted as manager of the
Senators Thelt poor showing af
fected his own batting, and he was
succeeded as manager by Joe Can
tilli it in 1907. Stahl then was sold
to the Chicago White Sox, but
( hose to east his lot with the setni
pro games which were flourishing
in Chicago at that time. He be
came owner of the South Chicago
club. The earnings were riot as
regular as major league paydays,
and he applied for and secured
reinstatement from the national'
commission in the fall, figuring in
a three-cornered deal by which he
went to New York, Laporte to Bos
ton and Parent to Chicago.
Went Into Banking Game.
Stahl reported to New York in
the spring of 1908, but was sold to
Boston in July for a cash consid
eration. He fulfilled a three-year
contract, which expired with the
season of 1910. anad then entered
the banking business. He did not
play last season.
Stahl married in 1906 Miss Jen
nie Mahan, who had been a class
mate at the University of Illinois.
His father-in-law, Henry W. Ma
han. is president of the bank, which
allows him to divide his activities
between a mahogany desk and a
baseball diamond.

South Atlantic league champion
ship which is carded for -the local
park this aftrenoon. Trit’ locals
are not discouraged over their 2 to

dent of evening up the count to-
ll eidell opposed Abercrombie on
the mound yesterday. It was a
royal pitchers’ battle. The home
heaver gave up five hits against
six for the Fox. But Weidell was
the more fortunate, grand outfield
ing by Sisson, who joins Atlanta
as soon as this scries is completed,
pulling him out of several tight
' holes.
Twice during the game, when
there were runners on the bases,
Sisson made phenomenal catches
of line drives, the first from Whit
fed and the second off Melcboir’s
bat. It was his sensational field
ing that won the game for the
visitors.
11 bitted played a grand fielding
game at third base for the locals
and Abercrombie was in excellent
form, the first score made off him
being the result of two little er
rors by the infield.
