J AKE STAHL and Jeff Tesreau are the two players who de serve the most credit for bringing pennants to Boston and New York this year. Without them neither the Red Sox nor Giants would have copped. And it is in teresting dope how each happened to be in fast company Gils season. The big Boston first baseman and manage:' had etiied from the game and was in the banking busi ness. The Giants’ giant hurler last season was with Toronto in the Eastern league and did only fair work. But let's take them in turn. ♦ • ♦ THE hardest of Jim M< Aleer’s * work with the Boston) team was before he had really acquired an interest in the club That task was to prevail upon Stahl to re turn to baseball Me. Veer made „ no less than a dozen trips to Chi cago to confer with Stahl before Jake finally consented to give up the banking business for the dia mond. Time and again Jim met with absolutely no encouragement from any one, and especially Stahl. Jake Insisted that h - was through with the game for all time. Charley Comiskey, owner of the Chicago White Sox informed M< - Aleer several times that Staiil would neve- plav ball again. Finally MeAleer went to Stahl and showed him wherein the Red Sox had a chance to run one, two, three in the pennant race, and < x platned to him that with a new pin nt at Boston there would be more money in it for him than by continuing at banking MeAleer also explained to Jake that he was the “missing link,” and that every player on the team wanted him to return. MeAleer had felt out the players during the 1911 campaign, and he says that in all his experience he never found a player who was so universally popular as Stahl. the Red Sox players admired Jake as much for his excellent qualities as a man as for his ability as a player When MeAleer forced home upon Stahl that the chain would be , om plete with Jaki as manager and lirst baseman, and showed' him that the added inducement of in creased flnames, Jake f.

Texas, last spring McGraw took along Big Jeff G’os reau, who the spring before had belonged to New York, but who was turned over to the Toronto team in the Eastern league. In the spring of 1911'Tesreau didn’t show very much. That is, no one but McGraw could notice that he displayed any promise. As soon as the Giants returned home the farming cut process staited and Jeff was shipped to the Cana dian city. Toronto finished third last year. The club wound up with a win ning p'-’eentage of .till, Tesreau's ay, 'age was five points less than his club He bad been a rank in-a nd-outer and New York fans and scribes, 1 though they realized that Mc- Gra . needed pitchers badly, were confident that the little manager was wasting a lot of valuable time and good money in taking Tesreau to Marlin a second time.. ■' I 1 '" days before the Giants btoke camp and started back North McGtiiyv asked the war correspond ents with the team which young player looked the best to them And not one of them picked Tesreau. ”W ell, you fellows may know how to write baseball." said Mc- Graw. “but you don't know a ball player when you see one, if you don't think Tesreau is the best of this bunch. ’’ 1 hey all gave McGraw the merry ha ha. but he who laughs last is supposed to have the most enjoy ment out of said giggle, and today McGraw kids the Gotham scribes at every opportunity, for Tesreau has riot only made good, but won the National league pennant for New York also.

Fred Lake’s Story of 1909 Sox-Giants Series Ex-Boston Manager Describes Second Battle 1 “ 1 ~ -■ By FRED LAKE " " 11 fttyHE Red Sox have always been j a team of fighters. 1 have never known of a member of the team acknowledging defeat un til the last man was declared out In the final inning. The Giants thought that we would bp easy picking, aft er they had defeated us in the opening game by a score of 4 to 2, iuit they failed to take into consid eration that the Red Sox were composed of young, ambitious hall players who did not know the meaning of the word “quit." My boy s stated after the Giants hammer and tongs in the second game, and when the smoke of bat tle had blown over, we wore on the long end of a 9 to 5 score. Tin- Sox batted the offerings of McGraw s twit let s to hitherto unknown cor ner- of the lot. George Willse started in the box for New York, but he proved easy and was chased to the tall and un cut in the third inning, when five red-hosed players scampered across the counting station. Then came the mighty "Rube" Marquard, for whom New York was reported to have paid SII.OOO. Marquard did faitly well for three innings, but in the seventh stanza tile Red Sox started after him in earnest and hammered out three big runs, which virtually put the game in the strong box. Otis Cran dall finished the fray and Ip' pitch ed fairly will, although we man aged to squeeze a run across the plan, while he was officiating on the mound. Eddie Cicottt was the man who pitched R iston to victo: y. ' Knuc kles'' was touched up for fifteen hits, but was very effective in tile pinches ami managed to keep his team in front. Speaker in Star Role. Tris Speak.r again played the star role. The Texan was at hat four times and he made three safe hit- Spoke" gave a fine exhibi tion of spied and base running in the ninth inning He started the fun by beating out an infield hit. IT stole second without an un net essaty delay, and he then pilf e’etl third '!" is sterling outfielder scored a minute later on Harry Niles' slashing two-base drive Resort tl seri s started, New Yo.k fans" admitted that the Sox had tome heavy hitters, but they claimed that my men did not know half ts much "inside" baseball as McGraw's , tew did \Ve imide them sit up and take notice, however, in that second game. The Giants folded themselves on the fact that no team was able, to pull off a saciifice play with a man on second and another on first. I'hey had pet footed a play which they termed th, "MeGinnity sacri fice killer" They had a chance to use this play in the third inning. We had a man on first find a man on second, and there was nobody down.

Tip- diminutive second baseman picked one out to his liking and laid a perfect bunt down the third base line, which neither Tenney nor Devlin could field in time, in order to get tile baiter at first. \\\ broke up the Giants' pet play again in the seventh. This time McConnell was on second and Lord on first, while Speaker was at the bat The New York players all thought that Tt is would limit, but he fooled them and slammed a wicked single between Devlin and Bridwell.

McCormick "Most Consistent Team That Ever Played," Says Boston’s President JIM M'ALEER’S OWN STORY HOW RED SOX WON By Janies R. MeAleer. (President of Boston Red Sox.) DETROIT, Sept. 23.—We11, we have won the pennant. We won it with the most con sistent baseball team ever seen. We won because we had the best team that has ever played the na tional game. I am confident that the boys will go ahead and win the world's se ries. After that they will give Bos ton good baseball for four or five then walloped the ball far over Speaker's head for a triple, scoring Seymour. Fast fielding by "Spoke" was the only thing which prevent ed McCormick from making a home run. Cicotte gave an exhibition of fine pitching in the third inning. Brid well was the first man up and he singled. He went to third when Eddie threw wild in an effort to catch him napping off first. Ten ney walked. Cicotte then put on speed and forced Schlei to pop to McConnell and Wiltse to foul to Donohue. Doyle ended the session by taking three mighty swings. We won the game in the third inning on some rattling good hit ting combined with some poor work by the Giants. Cicotte was the first man to face Wiltse and he banged out a single. The Giant hurler was unable to locate the plate, for McConnell and the little fellow walked. Harry I.otd laid down a perfect bunt and beat the throw to first by some great sprinting. This caused Wiltse to go up in the air and he passed Speaker, Cicotte scoring. Jake Stahl also might have got a pas- if he had waited, but Sir Ja cob picked out one to his liking and sent the ball to deep left center for a double, scoring McConnell. Lord and Speaker. Jake was left strand ed at second, as his team mates w ere unable to hit Wiltse any more. Giants Come Back. The Giants refused to throw up tlie sponge and came right back at us and scored two runs in their half of the third inning. Seymour opened with a single. McCormick, who had been hitting like a house afire, was unable to solve Cicotte’s delivery and sent an easy fly to right, which Jack Thoney took care <>f. Murray ami Devlin livened things up, each of them singling. There were three on, and it was up to Bridwell, but the best that Al could do was to hit weakly to Ci cotte. who tossed Seymour out at the. plate, "<>!d Man" Tenney started a small-sized riot among the bleach “fitts when he singled. scoring Murray and Devlin. "Admiral" Schlei hit to Lord and heat Harry's throw by inches. And once again there were three men on and "Big Chief Meyers, the fence buster, star home run swatter ami several other dozen fear-inspiring aliases, was at the hat. The "fans' thought that the Chief was going to break up-Ci- game, but Io and behold! the mighty Casey. Sox Hammer Marquard. Tlie Red Sox -tarted after "Rube” Marquard, who had su< - i -eded Wiltse. with a vengeance in tlie seventh inning. ( Amity Mc- Connell started the ball rolling by rapping out a clean single. Lord laid down a perfect bunt, and once again he showed up the Giants' in field by beating tlie throw to first GEORGIAN WANT ADS FILL ALL WANTS. BOTH PHONES 8000. By “Bud” Fisher years to come without many changes in the ranks. We have won this year, not be cause the other fellows have gone back, but because our boys have "found themselves.” They have been coming. They became "due.” And now tjjey have “arrived.” They will stay for a long time to come. The credit for winning this pen nant is due to the boys themselves, and to none of the rest of us. The team is about the same as last year’s, with the exception that Jake Stahl is back in the game and “Heinie” Wagner “came back.” With those two positions filled, and all the rest of the just reach ing their stride, we simply had to win. “They Were Never Disgraced.” Before I give you my opinion of why the Red Sox are the best base ball team 1 have ever seen, I want to call your attention to two things: First—This team has never been disgraced. The Sox have played consistently from start to finish. Once they lost three games in a row, but otherwise were never beaten more than two games in succession until we w°n the pen nant. Second—There is not a weak spot on the team. Every one of the Sox has “come through." The team has been consistent all the time and all the way through. The Red Sox have beaten all comers alike. They defeated the Athletics just as they did the oth ers. When the pinch came they were always there. When Wagner “Came Through.” Let’s go back to the start. When I went to Boston last winter I found about the same team as we have now. with two exceptions. I knew—we all knew—that we had one of the best teams in the league. All we needed were a first baseman and a shortstop. Jake Stahl filled the first bill. I figured that our only problem was “Heinie” Wagner —if "Heinie" came back we couldn't finish any worse than second. And "Heinie" came back, just as we hoped he would. That completed our baseball team. I want to say something about them as men. They are the cleanest, most quiet and unostentatious bunch of ball players I have ever seen. You never see them boasting about what they can do. They fight all the time, but they never have a chip on their shoulders.

You wouldn't know them as champions by their individual appearance and actions, either on or off the field. They go to the park with business written all over them, work ear nestly until they have finished their job, and then go home the same way. ' They are not “fresh;” they are not "stuck on themselves." You never saw another set of cham pions like them in baseball. They say we had luck in not hav. ing many Injuries. It was not luck. These fellows all took good cane of themflelves, were always in good condition, so that they were not hurt often, and when they were they recovered quickly, as an ath- , lete in good condition always does. They took good care of them- ' selves off and on the field. That’s the story. "Hughey” Jennings called thorn a “team of hand-shakers.” Well, if that’s what they are, that's the kind I always want to see. The fact is, they are always friendly. They don’t care about the other fellow. They are full of self-confidence. They knew they could beat the other fellow and they didn’t need to bluff it through. They are all game all the way through. You never saw eno ot them flinch. They are not afraid of any base runner in the world. ‘ You never saw them dodge spikes. And they didn’t need fight the umpires to win their games. Only once all season was one of them put out of the game. That tea record to be proud of. We really clinched the pennant in my mind, when wo beat the Athletics early in July. They had just beat Washington four games ■ and were waiting for us. They were going to take us down the line. But, on their own grounds, we beat them four In six garnet and they were a pretty sad loti of boys after that. Then I was certain that we had the best team and the best chance to win the pennant, and I was sure that we would, with an even break and barring accidents. Toil know the best team does not al ” ways win. We cracked tho Athlet ics then and there. In passing, I have heard people talk about divided management of baseball teams. There has been nothing- of that here. Too many bosses spoil anything. Jake Stahl has run that team, and nobody has ever interfered with him. FINNISH RUNNER WINS r FAST FIVE-MILE EVENT NEW YORK.
