CHICAGO, September 20.-J. Gar
land Stahl. president Of the Park Ma

Stahl distinguished himself in major
league base ball in Boston. Washing

ease yesterday in Los Angeles. He

He had hoped to regain his health

clans summoned Mrs. Stahl and their
son. Garland. jr.. saying that ne could
not live much longer.
Stahl was star foot ball and base
ball player at the University OF Hi
nois from 1900 to 1903. He was born
at Elkhart ILL.,. April 3. 1881.
Stahrs athletic .prowess at college
brought him under the eyes OF major
league base ball scouts. The late
Frank Selee sought him for the Chi
cago Nationals, but the Boston Amer
leans obtained him as a catcher in
1903.
He went to the Washington club as
manager the next year. remaining un-
til 1909 Washington sold his services
to the Chicago Americans. but he
chose to coach the Indiana team and
PLAYED with a mi-professional club

BY FAIRPLAY.

NEW YORK. September 20.-No-
body but Jack Dempsey's close
friends and his physicians. of course,
know how near the world came to
having a one-armed champion. Jack
had boil near the elbow and all the
poultices he put on only seemed to
make 1t worse.
Last week he called in a physician
and the medic found the arm about
twice it's size. In q septic condition.
The doctor opened the abscess and
applied antiseptic fluid and then
waited for results. There were two
results possible. Either the infiamma-
tion would go away or else Jack
would have a case of blood poisoning
that might result in the loss of his
arm, If not his life.
But Jacks fine condition turned the
scale the right way and now he IL all
right and his arm will be ready for
use In a week probably. Just now
he represents the Interesting spec
tacle of champion who is looking In
every direction for an opponent usu-
ally, in the heavyweight division par
ticularly, 1t has been the other way.
Remember how Peter Jackson and
Frank Slavin used to hound John L.
Sullivan? How Fitzsimmons bounded
Jim Corbett? Even the giant JEFF
fries growled at the thought of fight
ing, not because he was afraid. but
because he disliked training and. az q

YANKEES CLIMB NOTCH
CLOSER TO THE BANNER

The New York Yankees were a
notch nearer their second consecu-
tive American League championship
today. as result of defeating Ty
Cobb's battling Tigers. 4 to 3. in
the first game of the series. while
the Browns lost. The Yankees in

two and a half games. They can

inning. while his rival weakened in

homer. a double steal by Schang and
and Meusel were scoring factors for
the Yankees
Ken Williams of the Browns
matched Ruth's circuit clout with his
thirty-ninth. putting him two ahead
of Rogers Hornsby of the st. Louis
Cardinals and increasing the proba
bil:ty that he will displace the Babe
as this years home run chief.
The New York Giants, holding the
seemingly impresnable lead of five

battle the second-place Pittsburgh
outfit in the first of a three-game
series today. The Pirates gained

tickets to take all they can get and
there is an emotional crowd which
does not follow base ball very closely
in the season which will go to the
world series because it happens to be
the most sensational thing for the

When this series is played in New
York between New York clubs alone
