“DIARY OF A WINNER”
|
FENWAY'S FIRST TEAM Detroit President Frank Navin had the right to hold the Red Sox for the game tomorrow, as both clubs have an open date, but manager Jake Stahl explained that he would have to make perfect connections and then would be late in getting to the ballpark for the game with New York on Tuesday. The Detroit owner consented to allow the Red Sox to pass up the game and President Ban Johnson was called on the telephone in Chicago and agreed. The team therefore left on the 6:20 train, delighted to be on their way back home to Boston. Larry Gardner's little finger is in a splint and he will go home to Vermont for a few days after reaching Boston. The finger will be tender, but with the use of a heavy glove for protection, Gardner feels confident that he will be in the lineup against the Giants. Joe Wood appeared to be in better humor then he has been for a long time, although he is suffering from a bad cold. He received to threatening letters postmarked New York City promising he would never meet the Giants. That is nothing knew in baseball, for players often receive threatening letters before important games. The Red Sox will not worry about the postseason, in fact they've been told to forget the game for a few days. Jake Stahl will keep his boys in batting practice at Fenway Park this week, but will not turn on the electricity until they meet the Washington next Saturday. He was pleased to hear that so many friends in Boston are anxious to have the players attend theaters and receptions, but he will ask his men not to accept all of them, for he wants them to have rest and quiet in preparation for the World Series. The Red Sox will be given a big welcome when they arrive at South Station. Baseball fans are expected to turn out in the thousands to honor the American League champs. Plans were made by Mayor Fitzgerald and old-time baseball players for the honors and a parade from South Station to the bandstand on the Boston Common. |
