8111 LANGE SMS CUBS WILL WIN PENNANT ;Y Bv William A. Lange. (The greatest center fielder Chicago ever had.) SAN FRANCISCO. CAL., Sept. 5. It still looks to me as if Chi cago was going to win the Aational league pennant. They axe cut down a long lead held by y, a York until now only six games separate the leaders from their de rmined opponents. I like Chance’s team, because 1 ••unk Frank is one of the greatest leaders that ever handled a base call club. Not only is he a great racier on the field, but he has great iudgriient in securing and handling men. The trade by which he got Leach and Leifield from Pittsburg in ex change for Hofman and "King’’ i ole 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 to the other clubs. In Tommy • Leach he has a man who doesn't know what it is to give up or to be afraid of anything. I am of the opinion that the Cubs i ay better inside baseball than the Giants, which is offset to some ex : nt by the great speed of the New Yorkers on the bases. Frank chance will be working like a beav er until the last hope has tied or the pennant has been won. He is a man of great resource. When Chance was catching on <mr old Chicago igarn he always had something new to spring, and the qualities he showed as a play er he now shows as a manager. THE BASEBALL CARD SOUTHERN LEAGUE.

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. 18S0. 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. . First, where did Stahl get the nickname, ''.Jake'.”' That story has no connection with baseball. In Elkhart lived a hermit known as "Old Uncle 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 graduated 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 citose the latter. In less than two year 5 he was cured and asked his father if the other offer "still went." It did. So Jake entered the University of Illinois in the fail of 1898. There he played four years of varsity basebail and four years of football. When Stahl began his college ca reer he weighed only 148 pounds, but played guard and tackle on the freshman footbal' eleven. The hext spring he went out for the baseball nine. Carl Lundgren. Fred Falkenberg and Jimmy Cook 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 Miehigaji bats man hit a long Uy toward Stahl, who had been stationed in the out field. Stahl misjudged the ball. It wen lot a home run. Illinois was beaten. 10 to 9. But Stahl got four hits that day, and the Illinois catcher 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 eleven Stahl scored three of the touchdowns which defeated the University of Chicago in 1902 by a score cf 23 to 0. Western fans well remember that game, and how on a fake interference play Stahl time and again tore around the opposite tackle for sate gains w hen the distance was needed for a first down. 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 Chicago, but Henry Killca. then owner of the Boston team, had seen him play in a college game and offered a sal- Correct Proverb Solutions Picture No. 59 Picture No. 60 fTHAT HAW will) f • - SZT'.

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. THURSDAY. 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 the 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. Their poor showing af fected his own batting, and he was succeeded as manager by Joe Can tillon in 1907. Stahl then was sold t(( the Chicago White Sox. but chose to east his lot with the semi pro games which were flourishing in Chicago at that time. He be came owner of the South Chicago club. The earnings were not 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 contraet. w hich 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. .
