the many sensations COM
manding special attention in
this young season Of remarkable
surprises might be mentioned the
Boston Red Sox. In fact, it would
not be amiss to shout and rave
about the Speed Boys and Of their
"born manager, Jake Stahl.
For whether he deserves II or
not, J. Garland Stahl is today about
the biggest man In the estimation
Of Hub fandom since Jimmy Col
Inns OF 1908 and 1904. Jake has
made good: that's all that Bos'
ton or any other city demands.
Stahl has made good where more
experienced managers failed. That
In itself is recommendation enough.
Maybe Jake was lucky. There
are instances on record, you know,
where clubs have made regulations
for managers. Hughie Jennings
stumbled into big league fame in
1907 When he took charge of the
Tigers that great machine had al
ready been moulded Hugh sim
ply had to keep it in harmonious
working order to land three con-
secutive pennants.
Frank Selee modified the won
derful Cub machine from which
Frank Chance reaped the golden
shekels and fame. Yet no one in
sinuates that either Jennings or
Chance Is not good manager.
What these men would ever have
amounted to had they been forced
to build up a tail-ender, however,
is conundrum.
Stahl's clubs is Just as it was
when Jake took hold of it with the
exception of Jake. There is no
DENYING the fact that this big fel-
low has proved a wonderful asset
to the Speed Bows. Neither Jimmy
Callahan nor Mike Donlin has any
thing on the "born manager" as
a comeback, - Jake hasn't set
the league afire as hitter, but he
sure has peppered up the whole
works and got every possible ounce
of energy out Of the array.
A LII of which is most remarka-
~ BILE in the light OF existing
conditions. 1t is quite true
thnt the Red Sox form one of the
fastest collections in the major
leagues But it is also true that
Stshl. as manager, has to main
tain harmony not ouly in the ranks
but in the hosoms Of the stockhold
ers as we'll. Never was man IN
more trying position than Jake.
He is one Of the minority stock
holders. The club president is jim
my McAleer, an autocratic sort OF
fellow when his interests are Mt
stake. McAleer was one Of the
most dismal managerial failures i'm
aginahle with the st. Lonis Browns
and Washington Nationals, but YOU
couldn I convince him OF that fact.
Naturally. he believes he was the
abused child of circumstance. The
fact that McAleer Is content TO sit
back quietly as m American LEAGUE
maCnate is certainly tribute TO
the diplomacy of Stahl.
In Jake. Boston has found the
long missing factor TO establish
harmony between club and erratic
management. John l. Taylor, who
during the last eight years has
given away a world 8 championship
aggregate still owns ffty per
cent Of the stock. He always has
been and always will bo great
menace so long as he maintains
such heavy interest. Outside in
reference with Stahl-either on
the part Of TAYLOR or McAlcer-
Is the greatest danger which tie

front.

for this time, but the great fight
is before them. 1t looks very much
as il we will see one of those hair
raising drives to the very wire
with a blanket finish by the first
division clubs.
THE world g champion Athletics
i are far too good club to be
counted out till their last
chance has fled. Connie Mack is
no simpleton. He has been jockey
ing a great deal with young pitch
ers lately. His old staff has not
been just right any time this year,
it would seem. But it may be de-
pended on Observation-Disclosures,
Coombs, Plank and Morgan are
likely to finish with such a burst
as to leave nothing but the wake
of devastation--if it comes to a
pure question Of pitching
Mack never has started his sprint
until mid-July or August. And the
wise ones believe he is feeling out
his strength with view to a duel
to the death with the Red Sox
when the proper moment arrives.
The real fight will doubtless lie
between the Red Sox and Athletics.
The Giants will have no picnic in
the world g series, no matter which
one of these wins. The Red Sox,
unless playing above their speed,
have just about as nifty an array as
the world s champions. Boston's
outfield trio is by far the elassiest
in the two major leagues. Stahl's
pitching staff is superior to the
Fingers of Mack. Connie IS veteran
tossers have deteriorated particle.
Carrigan is as good as catcher
as either Lapp or Thomas. Mack
has the better infield, though that
of Stahl is above the ordinary.
This superiority of his infield gives
Mack the shade on team power out
side the pitching.
n OsTON'S pitching star is as
ID promising as anything in fast
company. Pittsburg has an
other such a one. The Red Sox
hurlers are all young fellows with
the best of their careers before
them.
Possibly right now the Athletic
veterans are superior in such great
crises ms tough drive or a world s
series, simply because of their vast
experience. But that is very, very
doubtful.
In worlds series this fall the
Red Sox tossing talent would look,
indeed. as formidable as most any
body could fancy. Imagine Joe
Wood, Hall, O'Brien, Bedient and
Collins working in turn. Those first
four mentioned are as classy as any
right handlers in captivity.
Stahl was at least lucky IN COM
ing to Boston just at time when
real pitching staff has been So
cured for the first time since the
days OF Cy Young and Bill Dineeu.
Poor pitching has handicapped the
Speed Boys for several years.
And if Jake can keep on edge his
fine array of tossing talent he may
yet Justify bis sobriquet, Born
Manager, dubbed by humorous
scribe back in 1896 when Jake took
Washington out to the front of the
race and kept it there severalweeks
in the spring, Jake threw up the
management when the Senators hit
the chutes and tobogganed to the
very bottom. Those few months
were the extent of his managerial
experience. In view of which his
wonderful success in Boston, after
a vcnr's layof from the diamond,
is all the more commondable.

MISSISSIPPI DELEGATES
WILLING TO HELP CLARK
Although Instructed for Un-

Of all precedent" said Senator-elect Var
daman of Mississippi soon after arriv-
ing at convention hall today.
The Mississippi delegation is instructed
for Underwood, but each delegate to a
man expressed the opinion that those in
structions had been sufficiently complied
with, and confidently asserted that there
soon would be a change that would in

Of the vote Of that delegation for the
Missourian.
Delegates from North Carolina and
from other southern states expressed
similar views as to Mr.. Clark's prospects.
The fact that a majority of the conven-
ton had shown preference for him had
strong influence on many of the members,
and they said that unless exceptional
reasons could be shown against him they
would add their votes to his strength.
Senator Bankhead of Alabama, Mr.. Un-
derwood's manager, would not concede
the growing popularity of the Clark
boom, but on the contrary professed
greater confidence in Mr.. Underwood s
chances than at any time since the con-
vention began. He was confident that
there would be a general breaking up of
alignments soon after the beginning of
balloting today, and that Alabama's can
didate would become the beneficiary OF
the changed condition.

The convention at the time was TAX

Bryan said:
