SPORTING NOTES
StahI May Lead Senators.

Chicago. Jan. 14.-While not con-
frming the announcement made in
Washington yesterday that Jake Stahl,
the former University of Illinois star,
would succeed Patsy Donovan as man.
ager of the Washington American
league club. President Johnson admit
ted the matter was under considera-
ton. and he believed Stahl was good
man for the place. According to Mr..
Johnson. the deal to advance the first
baseman to the leadership of the Sen
ators has been on for some time, but
has not been closed yet. consequently
he premature announcement from
Washington was something of sur
prise to him. Stahl is in Chicago at
present. and has had several confer
ences with the American league execu-
tive. who is practically in charge OF
the clubs affairs pending the compile
ton of the sale of the franchise
