By John J. McGraw. (Manager of the Giants.) HAT the popularity of a baseball hero js tran- sitory was the Boston indicated when the management of kked Box let out “Jake” Stahl, who had brought the first world’s championship to Boston since 1908. It te true that the Red Gox had not been playing the kind of baseball this season they showed last year, to blame for it, it I do not see exactly how “Jake” was Last fall\the fans of Boston gave “Jake” an automobile as a token of appreeiation. This nay summer the managément gave him the gate in the i middle of the race. Sych is the contrast. It ts not up to me to dive into the merits of the case. So far I have heard little of te agership.

He's not of the fiction variety like the one that has become famous because of his exploits as chronicled on the sporting pages of The Evening World for several years, but a real, lives, true ball player. His name is Harry Lang, and he is a plumber by trade. Lang has never been regarded a good batter. In fact, his batting has been 80 weak in the games that he has taken part in in this city as & member of the Francis Lang team that he has been leoked upon a false alarm. Bo you can imagine the surprise of the crowd of natives that attended the game between the Lang and Water De partment nines yesterday when he knocked out two home runs, a triple and a single. So terrific and unexpected was his hitting that an investigation was started. Lang was put through the third degree by the members of both’ teams. They all wanted to discover the secret of his sudden batting awakening. And they found out. Lang had made himself a metal bat and painted it to look like an ordinary wooden affair. The bat was made of a sheet of tin and filled with molten aluminum and sinc in Just the right proportions to make the proper weight. v fo himeelf = nee cea farute era remmncrevarate res cont @ home rum er 90 and not © Bit every time up..
