WHY JAKE STAHL DECLINED

Former Boston Leader Persuaded by Business Associates to Remain in Banking Business.

It w r as announced that Jake Stahl will not manage the Brooklyn Federal league team, neither will he manage any other Federal team or be connected with the league in any way. This decision on the part of Stahl came as a result of a meeting of the board of directors of the Englewood bank, with which Stahl has been connected. The bank officials hastily met, and as a result of the conference, Stahl was persuaded that his

place was with the bank and that he should not return to baseball at this time, if at all. Stahl declared that he was not influenced in his decision by the threats of Ban Johnson to expose him and force him out of baseball, if he joined the Federate, asserting that there was nothing in his past that he was afraid to have made public.
