few minutes are required for this and
il ought surely to be no difficult task
for any patriotic citizen TO spend that
much time in qualifying himself 10
vote at the election. There is nothing
my sterious or humiliating about regis
tering TO vote. II is merely matter Of
plain duty.
But IN spite Of an Of this. there are
still one-third of the voters of Indiana
vet to register and the question is how
how many Of these delinQuents Will
register at the October session Only
one more opportunity remains.
The shortage in the registration is
not confined 10 any one olcality or to
any one political party. according TO
the figures that have been coming in
TO this city. II is general all over the
state. The democrats are short in
democratic counties. the Republicans
are short in republican counties and
the proEressives are short in progress
sive communities The failure Of vot-
ers to register has thus far affected
all Of thep artles in about the same
proportion. This makes II all the more
difficult to get line on the real politi-
cal situation In the state. for no one
can tell which party will gain BY the
registration in October.
All Of the state organizations are
worried about this condition and they
are planning to make one grand final
effort to bring the registration in Oc-
tober up to something like decen fig
ure Plans are being made to get the
voters TO the registration polls in every
county.
In this city. or instance. a large num-
Der of negroes in heavy republican
wards have not registered. and a large
number or Germans and other foreign
born citizens in heavy democratic wards
have failed to register. SO the shortage
, affects all saides.
II is believed here that most of the
negroes will register at the October
session. and thus the republican vote
will be brought up fairly we'll. But the
Germans and other foreigners have in
dicated their aversion TO registration
10 such a marked extent as to raise
the belief that they will continue tc
refuse to register. and thus the demo
Gratis may lose heavily. Under these
circumstances the democrats are more
worried here than are the repu blfcans

TT the Boston Red Sox win the
American league pennant, as
now seems probable, it will be
a victory of a steady, beautifully
balanced, practical baseball ma
chine-a machine that has few
fancy trimmings in the way of
stars, no startling new lines of Of
Tense or defense, and no vast
amount OF color-but which is a
great organization, take it by and
large
1t is a machine that early in the
season impressed Atlanta observers
with that indefnable something
which is as definite in ball clubs as
in NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. as class"
1t was generally conceded through
out the baseball world that the Red
Sox had a chance to beat the Ath-
letics for the championship, al
though few really expected them to
do It, The belief was general that
the Mack aggregation was a shade
stronger than the Stahl collection,
but It was also generally predicted
that the Bostonians would be the
runners up.
The position Of the Sox is due to
no f1ashy run at any stage of the
race. 1t is due to a steady, inter
minable grind; they got away well
up, and they have remained there.
They had the ball which,
after all, count heavily.

the change in management had
any effect-that the Sox would be
out in front If the old regime had
remained-but the fans are not
likely to coincide with this view,
except in so far as the team leader
is concerned. If other managers
had had the same support being
accorded Jake Stahl, the club, as
now constituted would probably be
right where It Is at present, but not

the Giants have played in a worlds
series. but even at that majority
Of the Sox have been campaigning
longer than most of McGraw's men.
Fellows like iris Speaker, Joe
Wood, Carrigan, Stahl, Gardner,
Hall and Wagner are no callow
kids in baseball.
Stahl was born in Elkhart. Ind.
on April 10, 1880. which makes him
about the youngest of the big
league leaders. He was great

Illinois under the famous coach and
scout, George Huff He has played

Fast Red Sox Have No Startling Lines Of Play
Boston Team Is Perfect Balanced Combination

picked from the members of the
two major leagues a majority of
experts and fans would probably
include just two members of the
Boston Red Sox They are Iris
Speaker. outfieder, and Joe Wood
pitcher. There are half dozen
players in each department Of the
game who would likely be selected
over any other members Of the Sox
for the respective positions. In
; Speaker and Wood, however, the
Sox have two men who could hard
ly be omitted from any unbiased
an-star pick.
Speaker is undoubtedly one Of
the greatest outfielders in the world.
Some rank him the equal of Ty
Cobb-all place him at least sec
ond only to the Detroit wonder.
Speaker is a great hitter, great
base runner and a great outtielder.
Apparently he has no weakness.
AS for Joe Wood his record
speaks for itself He is the Math-
ewson of the American league.
Many fans place him first among
the right handlers of that organi-
cation, although that claim will al
ways be vigorously disputed by
Walter Johnson. They call the
Kansas City boy Smoky Joe" be-
cause of his wonderful speed. He
Is a heady pitcher, who, like Math-
ewson, makes a study of his oppo-
nents. His delivery is not wholly
unlike that of Big Six"
One of Greatest OutfieIds
Speaker Harry Hooper and Duffy
Lewis furnish one Of the best out
fields, if not the very best. in the
big leagues, because of the almost
perfect balance. There are numer-
Gus other individual outfielders
who would be chosen ahead of
Hooper and Lewis, but whether
there are any two gardeners who
would be selected above this pair,
outside of Speaker, Cobb. Milan and
Jackson, for practical team pur-
poses, is another question. AS it
stands today. the Boston outfeld
apparently OutCIasses any in either
league, but with any one of the trio
removed 1t is different proposition.
Neither Hooper nor Lewis is a
star slugger, but each is a wonder
full thrower and good fielder.
Each is comparatively slow on the
bases.
StahI Adds Strength to Club.
Jake Stahl is not generally re-
garded as a great first baseman.
He is not considered in the same
class with Hal Chase, Jake Dau-
bert, Fred Merkle or Stuffy McIn-
mis-, and yet he has played great
ball for the Sox this season. Pos
sibly the SoX might have done Just
as well with another first baseman
of equal ability in mere ball play
ing on the bag, and Jake on the
bench, but there is no denying that
the presence Of the leader in the
lineup adds to the balance
Steve Yorkes is not great sec
ond baseman Certainly he would
not be classed by many fans with
Collins. or Doyle. or Knabe or
Johnny Evers. and Vet he is a
greatly improved ball player this
year, who is constantly going along.
and who has held up his side Of the
infirld beyond criticism.
