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. THE BASEBALL CARD SOUTHERN LEAGUE.

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 H' ti’y Killea.

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. TIGERS RELEASE WORKS. DETROIT. MICH..

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.
