Neither one can make the American

.sTAHE BANKS ON
HURLERS To WIN
And Red SOx Manager Gives
Good, Sound Reasons
For His Bet.

TEW YORK, July 25.-With the
M race for the American league
- pennant more than half over
Jake Stahl, manager of the Red Sox,
comes boldly to the front with the as
sertion that. barring serious accident.
nothing can prevent his team from
winning.
This is a statement that may be an
ticipated from any manager whose
team has had reasonable chance for
the flag. but Stahl declares that he
has figured the future closely and las
not overlooked the chances Of other
cOntenders-
1t is to the pitchers that Stahl looks
to capture the flag. There is not an
other team in the league, according
to his idea that can boast of staff
anywhere near as strong as his col
lection Of hurlers.
In Wood, O'Brien. Collins, Hall and
Bedient," says Sthl. we possess the
best staff of pitchers in the league
without a doubt, and il is on these
men that / am banking TO tide US
safely over the rough spots that may
come up during the remaining half Of
the race
Our team has rounded itself into a
fine organization, one that viii hold its
own with the best OF them We have
lots of youth and strength in our
ranks. there being no old men who
are likely 10 go to pieces, nor nave
any of the youngsters been going be-
yond their speed. The team has been
steadily improving, and I do not an
ticipate any great trouble in winning
the pennant
lent shape, the best Outfield in the
country, quintet of winning pitchers
and an infield that is doing everything
required of it
And Says Still More.
Stahl is also quoted with saying
that he has no fear of the Athletics
beating him out, but figures the Ma
tionals to be the team he has to beat
At present the Red SOX have a lead OF
six and a half games over the wash
ingtOn crew and a margin OF less Ihan
10 games separates them from the
Mackmen Fans in QuakertOWn have
rot yet given up hope Of seeing their
team repeat; in fact. they believe that
the White Elephants viii have no
trouble in Overtaking the leaders They
look to see the SOX and Nationals take
a slump. something every team is eX-
pected to run into during a season
and which neither of these has SUI
fered to date.
Jimmy Callahan the valiant leader
OF the White SOX, who battled against
the worlds champions last week, is
of this opinion and picks the Athletics
tc repeat
Callahan is a shrewd ball player and
a clever leader. His statement is WOr-
thy of more than passing cOnsidera-
ton.
Don't overlook the Philadelphia
pitchers" says the White SoX mana
ser. The opinion seems to be gen
eral that they are going back, but If
they are I fail to see it Bender
worked against US and we never had
a chance to beat him. The indian
showed more stuff than any twirler
we have been up against in a long
time. COombs and Plank are also
mighty good The Oldtimers are round
ing into shape. and it looks to me
as if the Mackmen Will be on top when
the season closes"

ALLIGATOR Hunting.

Alligator hunting in Colombia is an
industry which furnishes the natives
with considerable sport. 1t is carried
on along the Magdalena river from
December to April and in July and
August. During these rainless months
the streams subside, draining the great
alluvial plains which border the main
stream. The a~lligators. which rushed
out on to the inundated fats during
the previous swelling of the river,
crowd back through the connecting
branches and channels. where the In
dian hunters slaughter them in large
numbers, spearing them and hauling
them out on the banks. where they
are stunned and then beheaded with
long handled axes. Rifles are not
used, owing to the prohibition of the
use of firearms, except shotguns. Hun
dreds Of alligators are also left stuck
in the deep slime left by the receding
waters, over which their short legs
will not drag their heavy bodies

An Oasis With a History.

In the mountain range of Ell Guet-
terra, writes Captain A. H. Haywood
in the Wide World, l came across that
precious and rare thing in the desert
a clear spring. Of course these springs
are very few and far between, and
there is Il tragic little story attached to
this particular one. A man and his
wife were making their way across the
desert not long ago, and their water
supply ran short. They struggled on,
weak and parched with thirst. One by
one their .camels died, and at last,
overcome with suffering, the woman
died too. The. man dragged himself
painfully onward in the weary search
for water. 1t was all in vain, how
ever, and at last he. too, gave up the
struggle, and, tortured with a burning
thirst, death came upon him and mer-
cifully relieved his suffering. Some
one. passing that way soon after,
found his body, lying barely 100 yards
from the little mountain spring of FL
Guettera. Little he knew how close he
was to his goal, poor fellow!

The ordinary rehearsals take place

The children amuse themselves with

little home landscapes before their
