Remarkable Showing Surprise To

The remarkably fine showing of the
Boston Red Sox, with practically the

/ big surprise to the baseball public.
While Manager Jake Stahl must be
given due credit for the excellent posi-

| at the present time We must give
lex.Manager Patsy Donovan due credit
for the fine work that he got out OF
| the team last season. As Hugh
Bradley broke his leg at Los An
geles during the spring practice, the
club was without a regular first base
man until late in August, when Brad
! ley returned TO the team, and while
not i'm the best shape. the Red SoX
| began winning more victories during
the last month of the season than any
other American league team. The
additions to the club this year have
