Nationals Manager Declares
Red Sox Pitching Staff Best
in Major Leagues.
STAHL ALSO HAS BEST
ALL-ROUND PLAYERS
Mathewson Only New York
Pitcher Who Has Chance to
Beat A. L. Champions.
BY CLARK GRIFFITH.

The Boston Red Sox. one of the smooth
est base ball machines ever known, will,
in my opinion, take four out of the first
five games from the New York Giants in
the coming worlds SERIES
Any way you look at it. Stahrs men
have McGraws squad backed off the base
ball map.
In the box, in the field and with the
stick the Red Sox are superior. In base
running alone they do not entirely out
class their opponents, and, as l will show
later this feature of the game does not
cut much figure in world series battles.
The Giants have just one pitcher in
whom they have sufficient confidence to
win such a series, namely Mathewson.
The Red Sox have more confidence than
any team l have ever come across. no
matter who is in the box for them.
And they sure have a staff that merits
confidence Wood. Hall. O'Brien, Bedient
and Collins are all equal to the task of
facing the Giants at their best and turn
ing them back.
True, McGraw has Marquard, but say
what you will, the Giants do not play
behind him as they do with Matty.. This
old boy is still right up in the front rank,
but he is not as strong as he was fe"
years ago.
The constant strain Of many seasons
has worn away the reserve, and now.
when Christys best offerings are bumped.
he cannot rely on sheer speed to recover
his equilibrium~ Wood and the other Bos-
ton stars can, and therein lies their In
valuable advantage.
/ do not think MarQuard will bother the
American champions little bit, while
Tesreau, whom l have never seen, but
who from all accounts, must be a real
v,{x hos ho6 fhn nrin RI
stand the terrific strain Of such series,
though he may come through and sur
prise the critics.
The same holds true in the case Of Be
twirler, but Buck O'Brien. on the other
hand. though young to the big league,
has had the base ball experience to bear
up against it.
Wood and Hall Great Pair.
/ expect. though. that the brunt of the
| pitching will fall on the shoulders OF
Hall and Wood The former is a bear
| for work, does not know what 1T is to be
afraid, and is at his best in tight places.
The latter l consider to be equaled by
| only one man now pitching-Walter John
| SON. 1t would not surprise me a little bit
| to see Joe Wood win three games in the
| first four days Of the contests.
Speaker. too in my opinion, will be an
| other very great stumbling block for Nc.
Graw. He will. think, be the first big
| star player who will live UP to his pre-
vious reputation, and perhaps surpass it.
/ In worlds series
| Cobb and Wagner and other headliners,
have faded and fallen down. but take II
from me Spoke" will be there with bells
on all the way through. He is a natural
ball player. in the game for the love of
it, and the bigger the crowd and the
greater the excitement. the better he
goes.

COLUMBIA CLIMBING
Golf Team Scores Two Wins
and Goes Into Second Place.
BEATS VIRGINIA CLUB, ~
Hermitage Club Loses by Default.
Davidson and Eynon in
Best Matches.
STANDING OF THE CLrRs.

BY double victory yesterday Colum-
bia made it three straight and jumped
from fifth to second place in the standing
of the 'home and home" matches for
clubs in the Middle Atlantic Association.
The Hermitage Golf Club of Virginia sent
word at the last minute that it would
have to lose it's match by default, a. 1t
would be unable to get its team here on
time, and so Columbia got the decision
in the morning without any work at all.
In the afternoon it stacked up against
the leaders. the Country Club OF Virginia,
and it beat this team rather decisvely
by four matches to one. As the visitors
are just fresh from winning the Virginia
state championship. this victory is quite
feather in the cap Of the local team.
Davidson and Eynon figured in the best
matches of the day, the score OF each be-
ing exceptionally good and each winning
by 1 up. Davidson had as his opponent
Sam Jones, while Eynon met W. ii.
Palmer.
In the David son-Jones match it looked
as If the local man would win In the
easiest kind of fashion, as he went out in
par, q, and had the visitor ) down at
the turn. Jones seemed to take very
kindly to the last nine holes with the re-
suit that he came in In i9-but two
strokes over par-and picked up four
holes on the Columbia captain. allowing
him to take but one of the last nine.
He won the tenth, twelfth, fifteenth.

AS to the outfleld. it's useless to COM
pare the grand Red Sox trio with the

will make the New Workers look cheap

those three sterling wings will put very

Indian Is accustomed to put to right field.
In the infield. the advantage is all with

classy infielder, Larry Doyle. while the
rest are fair. but not real classy.

BAD RIDE OVER
Desert To PHOENIX
Shanley's Car Has Rough
Experience From Tucson
to the Capital.

Phoenix. Ariz., May 21.-The ride
across the desert from Tucson to
Phoenix in VIII Shanley's Globe cir
Gle tour car, proved TO be one Of the
most unpleasant of the entire trip.
For over so miles not drop of water
is available along the route and moth
other than desert cactus. and the
everlasting glare Of the sand on which
even grass viii not grow
The car took the new highway just
outside of Tucson for Florence and
some day ii will be q great road 1t
will require probably year or more
before the road becomes smooth 1t
is full Of holes and many cars break
down over the road The Globe car
met a Franklin driven by captain
Greenway, general manager of the c.
and A mine at Bisbee. and he had
broken two springs and had three
blOwOuts over that route yesterday
morning.
Probably the worst road Of the en-
tire trip to Phoenix has been that
from Just south Of Mesa to just north
Of Tempe. on the government high
way. This is full Of holes, very rough
and makes riding exceedingly uncom-
Portable The worst 1OitS and jars on
the whole trip were experienced on
this road
At Phoenix last night the Globe car
met the Los Angeles car and reported
the experiences Of the trip to the Los
Angeles party, who praise the Globe
spirit and the Globe route
A good roads mass meeting was TO
have been held here last night but
on account Of the late arrival Of Dell
Potter by train from Clifton, it was
been postponed until tonight The
Globe and Los Angeles cars viii &C
cOrdingly arrive in that city on We'd
nesday afternoon.
The distance from Tucson to Phoenix
over the new road is lib ID miles.
This cannot possibly be made in less
than five hours and stay in the road
The car that attempts il faster would
surely leave the road and turn tur-
tie, which would not be the object OF
a race in which only the finish would
count.
