Expect Jake Stahl to
Reconstruct Red SOx

CINCINNATI, Ohio, April S.--John l.
Taylor. IT,. Gisorganized the Boston
Red SoN and Garland (JakO StahI is
chief Of the reconstractien gang that
will put the eX-world's champions upon
their feet again.
Taylor's father bought the club for
him. Under,his direction 1t was as uu-
certain Il quantity as the fourth di-
mension. john j. hit all the high spots
of baseball foolishness. In his short ca
reer as mogul he hired and fired as
managers Jimmy Collins, Jim Mcguire,
Fred Lake. and Patsy Donovan.
When Boston was one of the best
looking clubs in the American League
Taylor disposed of Captain Lord, the
brilliant third baseman, because he
imagined Lord wanted to be manager.
Taylor made the most startling deals
in baseball. He did not care whom he
traded or sold. The fact that he dis
liked player personally meant that
the player was through in Boston. y
Good Fortune Came.
Good fortune always seemed to fol-
low Taylor in discovering splendid
young players. His scouts dug UP Iris
Speaker, Harry Hooper. Wagner Lord,
Nunamaker. Cicotte, Buck" OBrien,
Duffy, Lewis, Hendrikson, and others,
while other managers were chasing
themselves In circles looking for play
ers of class.
Tired of reading marked copies of his
sons foolishness. General Taylor dis
posed of a half interest in the club to
Jimmy McAleer and Rob McRoy. He
retained one share himself as the bal
ance of power.
The new owners picked Jake Stahl as
manager. Stahl is Boston favorite.
In addition to being terrific hitter
he has solved the first base problem,
making the, infield airtight. Stahl was
in the banking business in Chicgo when
offered the managership and 1t required
Q fat figure to tempt him from his
desk.
Added To Weight.
A year in the bank added weight to
Otahl, and he went to Hot Springs
early to condition himself for the job
in hand. He Is assured hearty welcome
in Boston, where he is q favorite. and
Boston fans are noted for their 10y
atty.
The Boston club, handicapped as II
was by the feeling of insecurity among
the players, was a good looking team
leas year. With Stahl at the helm, II
looks better now. The players know
Taylor cannot fire them in a fit of irri'
liability and their work should i'm
prove. The club has picked up IN
Buck" O'Brien youngster looked
upon as the best spitball pitcher in the
land.
Baseball men and the public will
watch the Boston club this year. 1t has
been said that only Taylor prevented
the team from winning the American
League championship upon one or two
occasions in the last thre or four years
The cluD is stronger now than at any
time Taylor controlled 1t and II VIII bt
Interesting to see what Jake Stahi ant
Jim McAleer can do with 1t.

How the Salmon Leaps.

Scientists as well as laymen tellae traordinary stories, of the, wonderful leaps whereby salmon ascend water
 falls. One investigator who has stud fed the salmon of southeastern Alaska asserts that these fish 1do,not select particular point of attack in endeavora ing to surmount fall. They show a remarkable lack of accuracy as we'll as of definiteness4 in their movement. When trying to ascend fall they sail through the, air., with the body rigid and the fins spread and held tense. and at the instant when the momentum of the jump is lost they tmpart a rapid and powerful. vibration to the It tail This occurs whether the jump is sue cessful or not. Should the fish reach water at the top of the fall this mos ton insures the maintenance of its por sition. In open water they jump side wise instead of lengthwise. and there is DO movement of the tail.-Harpers.
