undertook the leadership of the
Giants, Jake Stahl, as a college man,
starring both on the diamond and
gridirOn for the University of Illinois
was discovered by a Boston Ameri-
can scout and brought east. That
same year as a recruit catcher on the
Boston team Stahl sat on the bench
and watched his teammates win their
first and only worlds championship
from Pittsburg.
In the excitement of world bonors at
the time Boston apparently lost sight
of the promising Stahl and let him
go to Washington. He was manager
Of that team for a time but was so
offered for sale to Chicago. He re-
fused to go, but in 1908 he was hand
ed over to the New York Americans.
They promptly traded him back to his
first love, Boston, and he came into
ms own as the mainStay of a good
but unfortunate team. He decided
last year to give up the game to try
banking in Chicago. In his absence
Boston experienced still greater mis-
fortunes and slumped to fifth place
in the American league.
1t was from this slough of despond
that Stahl, after returning to Boston
last spring as playing manager
helped the new owners, Robert Nc
Roy and James McAleer, to rescue the
club. With practically the same per-
sonnet as the 1911 team, strengthened
IN places, he has developed the con-
tenders for worlds honors and brought
baseball enthusiasm in Boston back to
the pitch at which Jimmy Collins held
it in his prime.
In the battle of managerial wits
which is always to be reckoned with
IN worlds series, the Boston sup
porters express little worry that Jake
StahIs comparative aneXperience in
such crucial test will be matched IN
favorabbly against the veteran Nc
Graw.
Both are playing managers, but
Stahl is entitled to be so called more
than the Giants leader, for he will
probably be found in the worlds
series at his usual place on first base.
a position at which few men today
in baseball have better records. Nc
Graw, however, while always in his
ball toys and once a famous player
is now seldom in action, devoting his
whole time to the strategy of the
game.
Reviewing briefly the courses the
two clubs have run this year, it is
striking to note that they won the
pennant in their respective leagues
with practically the same average
The Giants began their season under
the most favorable circumstances and
at the expense of their weaker COM
petitors they galloped off with lead
which stood at Is games in June, but
which dropped almost to danger point
in September. It was not until with
in ten days of the seasons close that
they wholly disposed of Chicago's
faint chance Of displacing them.
The Red Sox Of Boston were led
more consistent race and won the
American league pennant a week be-
fore the Giants clinched theirs.

shift will almost surely become a
stock play with many elevens.
1t is possible that it will be used
for the first two attempts to ad-
vance the. ball by all of the larger
teams in the east, and the players
of the smaller colleges are likely to
be coached in it.
Force of the Attack.
Under this arrangement the attack
against a single end or tackle. With
the backs scattered widely to defend
two wings of which they are fearful,
and with the secondary defence linn
tied to two backs most of the time.
the shift is likely to prevail whe e
there is disparity between the
weights and the strength of two
elevens.
Under the rule which permits an
offensive back to assume any posi-
ton which he wishes so that he is at
least one foot behind the rush line. it
will be probable that two or three
backs on the attack viii form against
a single Hneman and cut him out Of
the defence, leaving a gap through
which the man carrying the ball is
likely to gain more literally than he
was last season, in view of the fact
that the secondary defence will be
less powerful than it has been in the
past if the danger of the forward pass
is as much a menace as it is felt that
it is likely to be.
If the season does not develop the
line shift more strongly than the play
will be a surprise to those who are
making p-oblematical gUesses on
what the football of 1912 is likely
to be.

stood by his fellow players, the man
who is to receive the ball is then
ready to take it and make the try
with his interference in front of him
and to one side of him.
The momentary pause on the line
and the putting of the ball into play
were so well timed by the quarter
backs of the teams which tried the
shift last season that the attempt to
gain ground much resembled some OF
the flying plays of other days. There
seemed to be no particular danger at
tached to it, but the attack was so
well concentrated with powerful men
10 assist the man with the ball not
turning the defence aside, that not
infrequently big gains were the re-
suit.
Stopped Through Keen Observation.
1t is true that wnen the play was
diagnosed carefully and the defence
had men who were keen enough to
note the direction which the ball was
taking, and careful to ascertain the
man who had it, they were able to
elude the interference or dart be-
tween the players who composed ii
and bring the ball to a stop with only
a few feet gain, sometimes none Nor
was it wholly infreQuent that some
players got through the attack and
tumbled the man with the ball to the
ground for a loss.
This year the defence is weakened
without doubt because the forward
pass can go to any distance and car
be used to make a touchdown. The
goal line is nearer and the touchdown
and the possible goal which may re-
suit from it are worth seven points
as opposed to six last year.
These facts existing, the power
which can be gained by the full team
shift will be of more value than ii
was in 1911, and for that reason the

New York, n. Y. Oct 9.-Just why
have hundreds of New Workers been
giving odds on the proposition of the
Boston Red Sox, 1912 champions Of
the American league, defeating the
National league champion Giants in
the worlds series?
Is it Joe Wood and the rest of man
ager StahHs pitching staff? Close
study fails to reveal a reason why this
should be So The Boston blond boy
is a wonderful tWirler, but so is JEFF
Tesreau, the seasons sensation in the
National league. Wood has a strong
ally in Ray Collins, but no stronger
than the great and only Christy
MathewsOn, who is to be Tesreau's
running mate. And Stahl has no bet
ter rescue man than McGraw's tried
and trusty Otis Crandal- 1t will be
seen then, that while Stahls pitching
staff may be the stronger combina-
ton for a whole seasons work, New
York is just as strongly fortified IN
the box for a short series.
Neither can the explanation rest
with the infielderS. The experience,
heavy hitting and superb fielding Of
Stahl at first base is all balanced by
New YOrk's sterling dOorkeeper, Mer-
kle- Heiney Wagner, who is one OF
the greatest of all shortstops, does not
add any more strength to the SoX in
field than does captain Larry Doyle
to that of the Giants. And HerzOg

and Yerkes.

with the odds on Boston, for Meyers

Line Shift VIII Play Big Part
In the Football Games This Year
Formation of Interference Back of the Line Powerful
Method of Attack Seven Men Must Be on Line
and Not in Motion When Ball Is Passed.

FEW YORK, n. Y. Oct. 9.-There
nj is nothing in the changes
L which have been made in the
football rules for 1913 that prevents
any team from putting into play the
shift which was adopted toward the
latter part of last year. Beginning in
the west at Minnesota, the new forma
ton was taken advantage of by Yale
and from Yale went to West Point
and Harvard.
Princeton was not coached in it,
nor were some of the other elevens
of the play found that it was good
and a powerful assistance to the team
in possession of the ball.
The object of this formation is TO
put men into the interference in ad-
vance of the runner without violating
seven men. The formation takes place
behind the line, but the ball is not
put into play until the men are in
their positions and there are seven
men on the line not in motion. as de

is snapped back.

The New York National club

it's mammoth stadium at the Polo
grounds, at the followed base Of Coo
cams rocky bluff, at the north OF the
city. This will be the scene this year

consecutive time. In Boston, the
American league pennant winners

the Giants, is expected to provide this

lished there at the opening game last
fall, when in an incompleted state the
amphitheater was crowded with 80

The great stadium has since been
completed, and will now seat comfort
ably a crowd as large as last year,
at which time several thousand per

the brighter the moldboard became
and the easier the plow was to
pull. Thus the steel pillow was
born, in the year 1887, as the re-
suit of the inventive genius of a
Vermont blacksmith whose home
was then in Illinois and that in
vention marked an epoch in ag-
riculture, the final results of which
the mind can hardly comprehend.
Just think for a moment what
the conditions were when John
Deere made the first steel pillow
and then consider what they are
today.

Thomas Jefferson, afterward Pres

special mention OF the Newbold
pillow in his writings.
The Newbold pillow had at least
one fatal defect. The point would
soon wear out, and. as it could not
be replaced, the pillow was render
ed worthless. This defect was
partly remedied by Jethro Wood of
Scipio, N. Y, who cast the pillow in
sections 50 the worn parts could

was made in 1873 and from that
time until 1897 the cast iron pillow
remained supreme. Meanwhile the
