Manager Jake Stahl.
The
American league pennant
reason is: (
-t First Because every man on
the Boston team was after it from
the start.
Second Because our team
work is perfect. ' No man is for

Don't forget one thing. No
one man on the Boston team won
the American league pennant. It
was won by the Boston baseball

holds the record for pitcjiing in
the American league, but if his
support had .not been as good as
his pitching, ftie would not have

Hooper and Lewis to beat the
Giants. Others may point to our
batting averages when they dis

the world's series, but I 'depend
upon the Rex. Sox's ability to
Play Ball from the time the um
pire calls "Play" 'until the .series
ends.
Every man on the team has
played his position not only with
credit, but with honor, and unless
