Scarcely an - emotion jCWVMd to move him as the men he ..had ted, inspired e a college captain ,Ca do rose 'behind him. and, . break -rlnu Into a volley of unexpected hits, brooglrt to pretty, Galesburg another trophy of the field. ' Only a smile play ed about -the corner of hie teouth as a thiclt-legged youngster from tfee woods tore across the plate -with the winning nso. - Then Shatu was gone- '.',- Those swarming, rioting undergrad- iuIh who would haver hoisted him on wiUlng shoulders and gone forth. upon m. procession Just smelt as the Caeeara ibejran, could find him nowhere. Quiet, unemotional,' Stahl wosYld have none- of it, you- see. Like a shadow - naa vttolen from the field, , vanishing at the first- sight of victory. So did Garland J. Stahl lead a team IO msnrst cnam pionshtp. ' . ' Th this have passed and set the stage In the vale' of the Fenway Bet It ttt)i a. skv of cobalt-blue, a wind -from the sea, that straightening Ai-ooping banners sent them snapping from their poles. And on. a4 sides- ot the Fenway the ugly skeletons of the stands, things of wood ana air-bare in great places with deserting spectators enclose It from the world. Wlthin these walls a climax of men -waa oocurrtng, an awful drawn strain the like of which I had never seen be fura not -even at Indianapolis Chat red day in May, when men went mad be alnd the steering wheels and smoking racing cars from the track. 'For the teams of 2 ew York and Boston ' had mm a down, to the last ditch the last inninr of the last game witSi the world v series at the stake, and ae the gray Giant scattered to their posts in the ' field, as the RedV legged men of the home "team came running to the &os-ovt, massing for the' last attacflc, v a tall, straight, broad-shouldered man, rrt down anosg them, talking hasti ly; and he was Stahl, the same, quiet, unemotional Stahl of Illinois perhaps hi face a little, wrinkled, his hair be ginning to gray at thevtemp-les, but he was leading his team to a second championship. ' '" J".". Xo. the. past it was tor .tne traajtion r i, nfiilMC: for spirit, for the swell ing ambitions of youth, now it was for money amosrt $3,000 more 'to his players if they won.) Yet, although tradition had gone from his life, spirit and ambition were etfll there Bot more than that, a deep-laid Vengeance had eoroe into it, a desire to see- New York beaten, taken down. ,8ew York, which, -when Stahl had done hia best for its - Yankees, had poured abuse on his head, -calling, him "Joke," -instead OX jaKe, &RO.: now juae toiii r about to take a world's championship 'from them. . - , . . ' X watehed him as he stood there on Hho' lines, silent, nnworried Just as he had stood that day at.-Galeeburg a decade ago. I watched htm as, turn lug to the bench, he waved Wood into shadows and sent the fair-haired, mn gle to bat in his stead. I saw the great Mathewson, master of his art. swing the loose body of him backward and, springing forward, Teitaee the ball as from a catapult. I heard the prash of " Eagle's hat. : saw. a ihite speck moonting toward the blue , heavensv saw it reac the crest of its are, hover uncertainly and begin to fall. And Stahl was disappointed, for at the bot tom -of -the arc -was Snoflgraaft sure death on a. hit of this. sort. But,, stand ing there, far afield, hi back to the blescners, - his- race to ine sertmg. sun, Snodgress trembled. An unfortunate realization of this moment came to him; what if ihe dropped the ball now descending so lazily, what if the easy catch turned into a miserable error; what if R. did and -the runner should subsequently win a world's champion fl&ip in the tenth inning, mean a loss of more than . a. . thousand dollars to each of his mates. Then the strain .told. In a trice his frayed nerves had parted; down bolted the ball, looking big and -white, diffi cult to hold In a basket, let alone a matf glove of leather, and the heart of him gone. Snodgrass thrust up his hands only to see .the ball bounding from them, go rolling over the grass sown Dy tne rtrst -ease coacmng line. The heart of another man pulsed rap idly, for Stahl had scented victory and found it red. How he -waited there In a pause of uncertainty- as his next man went oat you may imagine. Always fie kept watching the sturdy Engle, now leading off second-; the great Mathewson, somewhat nervous, per haps about to tail; Mr. Mathewson, whose skirl alone held off the triumph that must be tile, still but one was out. and with the Giants giving signs- of breAking there was a chance that one run enough to tie perhaps two, then -victory would come, and, believing in us mm, scam waixea. Now. Speaker stood tapping the plate; a cool, dangerous figure that abrougT.t confidence to stahl, ana ab ruptly the confidence was justified, for something- wnite naa ashed into rifrtit and Engle ploughing up -the Mrt and had beaten the ball in a race for home. So did the climax come, a eta Re set as by Belasco, the red-legged forms of Yerkes an Speaker ready to dart from third, from second; the great Mathewson ralterlng in the box, the quiet Stahl watching his every move. fiad done, thinking no doubt of the $30,000 blunder that had been made be hind him, Mathewson lost control; the frrinning IVewis trotted to first on balls. Still the expression of the tall, dark haired Stahl never changed. The bases were full, one was out 'but a run needed to win the greatest prize in case b&T!, and Stahl glanced curiously at the New York bench. Not an emo tion of the situation had taken him this man who the year before had re tired from base ball only to find the game's call too strong for him. Maybe he thought of that day at Galesburg as fce stood there serene, cool with the stands In tumult behind -him, the set SATISFACTION COAL VTNCENTBROS. i Telenhone 3701 M'CANN AND OWNER FREEMAN TALK ABOUT MANAGERSHIP Ho Change in Leader Next - ' .

ONE TICKET FOR ' HARVARD CONTEST ; The Yale t ticket department has is sued - graduate application blanks for the Princeton 'game at Princeton, No vember 16, and the Harvard game ait New Haven, November- 23. Applica tions for the Princeton game close at 6 p. m. November 4; for the Harvard game at 6 p. m., November 6. The shortage of tickets for the Har- vard game - last f all which resulted j in me throwing out of 1,000 names has led to a change igt the method of allotment this year. For the Har vard ..game no "borrowed applications? will be received;' That is, every grad uate must apply In his own "name ' for his own tickets with the ..implied un derstanding' that they are for -his. own use, and not to be turned over to friends. . " ' Furthermore in, order to put a pre mium on the scaling of seats to the exact number personally needed by ; the applicant, applications calling for a single seat will be allotted first of all. Following these wil come appicatlons for single seats where two appioants have pinned .their envelopes .together, signifying- that they desire their seats together. Next will be allotted all applications calling for two seats, which is the maximum to be allowed on any one application. - It . is hoped that by this method enough graduates, will be tempted to sacrifice -quantity to qual ity so that all who- apply will be able to get some kind" Of a seat. The method will assure ev9ry man who is content to ask for one seat only of seeing the game - w,hile there is al ways the possibility thiat the applicant for two may find himself among those drawn for exclusion if - the final -analysis shoul show more applications than tickets, as last year. . For ther Princeton game the old rules hold. Bach graduate may apply . for three tickets and there is also a "bor rowed application" form - on . which those who wish to -lend their applica tions may so signify. Personal ap plications will be allotted first, it be ing the desire to give the best seats to Tale men and the supposition be ing that "borrowers" are not Yale graduates. in general the smaller the number of tickets asked for the bet ter the allotment. Cheering- section tickets .are limited to one on each name and blanks may-not be pinned together. For the Harvard game the graduate cheering section is. abolished. of Bridgeport Club for Season "After making a careful investiga tion I am convinced that the team's slump was due to the fact that some members of theteam did-jiot give the club their best services-. There was a lot of indifferent playing and .those players . won't get much -consideration from me next season." ; - ; , The indifference to which the owner referred was undoubtedly displayed by those who were mixed up in the Tom Crook feud. '-. Crook was -in bad with several players among them . being Jack 'Spratt and Freddy Gibbs. This dissension demoralized the team and put Bridgeport put-of the, running-at a time when it looked like a pennant contender... c :,f : " r , McCann was not anxious to take charge again unless conditions were to i be different from' Jast ' season." He wants to be boss of the squad for he realizes - -ghat no manager- can win games if another man, .as in the case of Crook last season, wants to be leader. . - w - Crook is. a good individual player but from the time he became ambitious to succeed .McCann, the club went to pieces. ,:' ' : .. MoCann points with pride ..to the fact that he has been here three seas ons. . That is ".better record than. any other Connecitcut league manager, can show. - WHITE SOX win : TITLE FROM CUBS ' . . -t, : SIjATJGIITKK NATIONAIi IEAGU EBS , IN .FIX AT.

The i Chicago American League team won the city title yesterday afternoon, handing the Cubs one, of the worst trimmings the- w wi ue latent . ever recerveo- . Tne score .was. 16 to 0. The White finx started to make -a -runaway race ' of the-'.game right off the reel, scoring-one run in the. first innine .and iwn mrra fti ti secolod. orlti he tbar Found they put eight tallies over! the plate on nine hits. The- final resul of, the series was four games to three. Ed Wialsto pitched.-for the 'American Leaguers, and held the Cubs to' five bAts,',- The-. Cubs used "live pitchers. Of this number Fred -Toney. who. fin ished the game, was - the only one-who showed any- class. ;"Ohly. one hit "iwas made off him. ; .:'-'.,.-. -.- -Lavender started the game, but was hit so consistently that he gave way toSmith. 1 Reuibach was quickly sent to relieve Smith, -and then Jjeifleid,- the southpaw, was rushed: to the rescue. After the ' Sox had piled ; up sixteen runs. Toner was- sent in; He suc ceeded in stopping the. slaughter," but at mat the Sox had . grown: tired . of running - the- .bases and took things easy in the rest of the game. . Tne,. Jop-sided score left a bad ' taste in the mouths of the fans, and many are saying the Cubs quit." It is a -fact that the West' Siders did not show, any fight such as they displayed in -the .pre vious games, on the other -nana, it is argued that ball players- are ;not-going to quit when a victory would have meant several hundred dollars more in each- man's : pocket. r . nut despite all' arguments to the contrary, the -slaughter caused all sorts of adverse comment Here. Many bugs insisted that the Cubs were . trying to get even . with Murphy for his ' asper sions of the team during the recent controversy over , the drink clause, which the Cub boss will insist upon being inserted in each contract. , Davender started' on the firing line for .the- Cubs and was hammered for three , runs in two . innings. Charlie Smith was the next victim. .' The Sox touched him for tiu-ee straight hits and then Reuibach was hammered " for eight runs in the fourth' inning. Del field was next. The SOx continued their bombardment, making three runs in the fifth.

CONNIE MACK HAS PRAISE FOR STAHL "Jake Stahl, the leader of the Red Sox, is the man who turned the trick for his team," said Connie Mack, of the Athletics. "He had two guesses, he made them both when he sent Hen drickson and 'Single up to bat for Bed-lent and Wood. ; "There is an old saying that a man ager of a ball club has only one guess, the world' has all the rest. Had Hen drickson failed to hit, then the fans would have figured it this way: There, he has taken out a great young pitch er, who was going great, and what good did it do? Again, had Wood been hit bard the fans would have claimed that Stahl blundered in pulling Bedient from the game. Then Engle batted for -Wood, and had he failed and the pitcher, possibly Ray Collins, had been clubbed, again Stahl would have been censored. Yes. Stahl took a long chance,- the logical one to be sure. It took a game manager: to go through with it; he did and he deserves the credit. "Bedient made good, that was his first gamble. Hendrickson made good that was hia second j chance, then Wood made good; that was his third chance; then -Engle made good, that was his fourth - chance. , , If , you ask me who won the series, "who ; deserves the credit, ril say J. Oarland Stahl, manager of the 1912 world's champions the Red Sox, was the mighty man." ITALIAN DEMOCRATS PLAII STATE WIDE .

In accordance with their custom for the past five years, Mr. and Mrs. Ball - will spend "the winter with Neals parents-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. George Clark of Connecticut avenue- . . , The ball player was well- pleased with his luck at being connected with a world, s cnampion team not only lor the glory but also for the financial re turns. He had a check for $4,024 and a few centsi which is his share of the proceeds of the world's series with the Giants. i . "I was treated fine by the Red Sox" said Neal, "Manager Stahl is a fine man to work for and all the players like him.

In a bout 'that fairly bristled ' with speed and, cleverness on the : part of botn" contestants Kid Williams-" of Bal timore gained the honors over Johnny Couioru holder of the . bantamweight title, in ten rounds: at Madison Square' Garden, New York, last night. The Baltimore youngster, showing the best form he has ryefr exhibited forced the going -from thejsoart. and. with his soeed. strength." .- and - a-rKressiveheesii icept the champion, on the: defensive. At the dose of ten '. rounds the honors belonged to the youthful Southerner, but . the -margin , c" victory was not very great, - - - - Both boxers entered the "ring below the bantamweight limit of ,116 pounds, so the , bout carried a' championship aspect, though . the title could not change hands except through ; a knock out. Coulon carries his title today for the , reason that no decisions are al lowed in New York State. Johnny en tered the ring last night much below his usual weight, the ringside weigh ingrin showing him' at 111 1-2 pounds in ring costume. Williams weighed 115 1-2 pounds. From the start there was no sign of nervousness on Williams' part such as might1 'be expected from a- youngster of limited experience in the ring when opposed to an old master and season ed campaigner like Coulon. Williams bore an air of seriousness all the way. He showed ho inclination to give ground or to be feinted into openings which Coulon was trying repeateaiy. to force him into. AH through the bout he showed good Judgment, let Coulon feint until his arms were tired, and when he was ready to lead, he did so. The bout was such as-might be ex pected from a pair of, speedy veterans rather than a youngster against a champion. .- 4 Coulon, although ' outpointed, showed that he still is a pastmaster in ring sci ence, and he made . up in ring craft much of what he . lacked in strength. His showing was hardly up to the standard of his other bouts of late years and it created the impression among those who saw the bout that Coulon'a star is setting. He fought hard, all the way, showed flashes of briliancy at times that made Williams aDDear at a disadvantage, but they were only flashes. Against the strength and steady attack , of the - Southerner Cotilon could not Keep up the work well enough to stay in front. He gave the best he could, and the best was not enough. " There -was no stage of the bout when either boxer was in distress, and nothing- like a knockdown occurred. In fact, neither boxer received a blow hard enough to make him stagger. Not' a djrop of blood was shed by either. - It was a high class exhibition of scientific boxing between the boys. who rank at the head of the bantam- weisrht division, and produced as much clever work as could be crowaea into ten rounds.

The stockholders of the club have been told that they must prepare for this or one other alterna tive. . : The alternative is the sale of the club. The stockholders are now ready to part with their holdings,- chagrined that Fogel has put them in this posi tion. It is said that the Elliotts' in terests are particularly sore at the turn affairs have taken. Two syndi cates are known to be forming to take over the stock of the club. One of them is composed largely of capital ists. with unlimited means at their disposal, and are ready not only to pay a good price for the club, but also to strengthen It.
