SILL UNGE SAYS
COBS BL ININ
PENNANT
Bv William A. Lange.
(The greatest center fielder Chicago
ever had.)
SAX FRANCISCO, CAL., Sept. 5.
It still looks to me a-s if Chi
cago was going to win the
National league pennant. They
tie cut down a long lead held by
\t \i York until now only six games
separate the leaders from their de
termined opponents.
! like Chance’s team, because I
think Frank is one of the greatest
<aders that ever handled a base
toll club. Not only is he a great
aiier <>n the but he has great
figment in securing and handling
men.
The trade by. which he got Leach
and Leifield from Pittsburg in ex
i.mge for Hofnian and ‘King”
ole was a good one. as results
i tve proved. Chance wanted men
«ith plenty of backbone and grit
■ 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
knot' what it is to give up or to
be afraid of anything.
I am of the opinion that the Cubs
I ~.- 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*
i har.n will be working like a beav
er until the last hope has fled o
Hie pennant has been won. He is a
man of great resource.
When Chance was catching on
our old Chicago team he always
had -oni. thing new to spring, and
the qualities he showed as a play
s' he now shows as a manager.

Jake Stahl Was an All-Round
Athlete During College Days
By V\ . J. Mcßeth.
JAKE STAHL ijs probably the
biggest man in baseball right
now, The’tnanager 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.
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 w»nt 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 giadv.ated in 1897. He played
on the town team as the regular
pitcher. In addition, lie was some
thing of a hurdler and high jumper
in the school meets. When Stahl
was graduated fifom the high
school his father offered him a col
lege education or a place in the
store. Jake chose the latter. In
less than two years he was cured
and asked his father if the other
offer "still wen'." It did. So Jake
entered the University of Illinois
in the fall of 1898. There he played
four years of varsity baseball and
four years of football.
When Stahl began his college ca
reer lie weighed only 148 pounds,
bul piayed guard and tackle on the
freshman footbaP “'even. The
next 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 agiunst 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
wen i'oi 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
ihe regular catcher.
Scored Three Touchdowns
As left guard on the football
eleven Stahl scored three of the
touchdowns which defeated the
I'niverslty of Chicago in 1902 by
a score of 23 to 0. Western fans
well remember that game, and how
mi a fake interference play Stahl
time and again tore around the
opposite tackle for sure 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
Hen.y Killea, then owner of the
Boston team, had seen him play in
a college game and offered a sal-

ary of SSOO a month. Chicago did
not meet the figure; so Stahl went
to Boston. He took part in 3S
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
to 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 wljich he
went to New York, Laporte to Bos
ton and Parent to Chicago.
Went Into Banking Game.
Stab] 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.
