JENNINGS' ACTION IN PULLING CUNNINGHAM FROM MOUND OPENED EYES OF LOCAL FA
r" ti "Ti iinliiii iim
JENNINGS RESPONSIBLE FOR
FAJLURE OF DETROIT STAFF
TO SHOW EXPECTED FORM
tijjer Leader Can Build Wonderful Teams, but
Do&s Not Handle Pitchers Properly, as He
Proved in Yesterday's Game
MANAGER JBNNING8, of tlio Detroit American Lcaguo pennant favorites,
hfts been complaining for several Beasons that ho cannot get pitchers.
JiLh acotila have scoured the country, bringing In pitchers by tho seoro, but as
oort aa promising recruits put on a Tiger uniform, thoy invariably retrograde
instead of improve. Tho funi throughout tho country could not understand It,
fcat yesterday Jennings showed Philadelphia fans Just why ho has no pitchers. ,
With the Tigers leading by nine runs ho pulled Cunningham, a Southern
XrtMtgus recruit off Iho mound in the third Inning, becauso ho had passed six men,
If tho game had been closo Jennings would havo been Justified In pulling Cunning
bm from tho mound, but with such a largo lead, ho did nothing but shake tho
youngster's confidence, ns there was not one chanco In a hundred for the Mack
men to win. It Would have been tlmo enqugh to pull Cunningham after tho Mack
men had tallied a few runs, but as thoy had not scored there apparently was no
reason for tho switch,
Jennings argued that ho wanted to eae Cunningham, but immediately sent
Wm down to right field with Coach Bill Sullivan, where ho pitched for an hour
trying to gain control. He pitched more than a full game In right field warming
up with Sullivan, so It Jennings was saving him ho took an odd way to do It.
Thero is only one way for a wild pitcher to gain control and that Is by working In
actual games and getting plenty of it. Jennings shows his pitchers that ho has
bo confidence In them and they are not likely to have any as long as ho handles
them as has for the last thrco years.
With tho Mack pitchers giving a horrible exhibition, It was an excellent
chanco tor Jennings to allow Cunningham to remain on tho mound for Bomo
much-needed practice. Uoland, who relieved Cunningham, was almost as
wild, ho also issuing six passes. Each of the Detroit pitchers passed six men,
whllo Naboro, Weaver and Itay passed 18, making a total of 30 freo tickets to
first, which 1s believed to bo a world's record.
labors Inexperience Started Trouble
YESTERDAY'S gamo was one of tho many tho fans may bo forced to put up
with overy onco in a while. Whllo tho exhibition of pitching given by Nabors,
Weaver and Ray was1 horrible, tho wholo troublo was started becauso tho Tigers
luckily discovered Nabors' weak point In tho first inning. Wo havo often men
tioned that Nabors was ono of the venkest fielding pitchers In tho major leagues
when it come3 to hdndllng bunts and other balls, which a clover ileldlng pitcher
Would cdnvcrt Into outs, and yesterday this defect in tho lanky Georgian's work
tvas brought out clearly.
New York, Boston and Washington found Nabors a hard man to bunt, as
will other teams, -when ho Is right, but yesterday ho was off form and wont up
In the air when tho Tigers started this game. A moro experienced pitcher would
not only havo handled tho balls Nabors fell down on, but also would havo retained
his composure after making a fow costly slips. Instead Nabors Immediately went
up in air and all chanco for victory was lost becauso of his Inexperience
In tho first inning 'after ho had walked Bush, Nabors mado a wild throw
ttying to catch him napplngand tho Detroit midget went to second. Vltt laid
down a bunt to move Bush along. It was at this juncture Nabors tipped off
hla weakness. Ho was frightfully slow reaching tho ball, and when ho did
pick it up, mado a weird throw to the right field fence Bush scored and Vitt
reached third on the misplay.
,
Nabors Went Completely toPicccs
NABORS was lucky to got out this hole with only ono run tallied by Detroit,
a brilliant and h'eady play by Mclnnls picking Vitt oft third, after ho had
Intercepted a throw from tho outfield, pulling tho lanky hurler out. Manager
Jenning3, Cobb and a few other Tigers, who always aro on the alert, were quick
to discover Nabors' weakness and the following inning was Jack's finish.
Heliman, tho first Detroit hitter in this Inning, tried to bunt tho first ball and
then Nabors got himself in a hole trying to prevent him from bunting again.
Heliman eventually Blngled. Burns bunted and easily beat it out, Nabors again
fielding slowly. By this time Nabors was badly rattled and passed Young trying
t3 induce him to bunt at a bad ball.
This pass filled tno bases with nono out. Stanago then slapped a wicked
drive to deep short, which Witt could not handlo and ono run scored. Tho
scorers debatod as to whether Stanago should bo given a hit or Witt an error,
and finally, decided on the latter, which was an Injustice to tho youngster. In
tho first placo Witt was out of position when Nabors pitched, tho latter not
giving him a chance to got back after ho had gone over to tho bag waiting for
a throw to catch Burns, who was taking a long lead oft second. The play also
was made doubly hard by Burns, who stopped In the line allowing the ball to pass
between his legs to worry Witt.

WILMINGTON TAKING
LEAD IN TENNIS
First Exhibition Match Will Be
Played on Saturday
Afternoon
Manager Mack Makes a Mistake
IT WAS apparent that Nabors was up In the air by this time and after he had
passed Pitcher Cunningham, forcing' a run over. Manager Mack decided Jack
had enough, so he was pulled from the mound. Connie then booted one by send
las Harry Weaver to the mound.
It Is not often that Mack makes serious mistakes and whllo his reasons for
selecting Weaver are plausible, wo believe ho howed ery poor Judgment for
several reasons. One Is that Weaver proved conclusively against Washington and
Boston that ho Is not quite strong enough for major league work. Another Is
that the team lacks confidence In Weaver and Btlll another 13 that Detroit had a
youngster on tho mound who had shown In the first lnntng that ha was wild and
had little "stuff."
Detroit had the bases full and not a man had been retired when Nabors was
pulled from the mound, but they had tallied only three runs all told and the
eelecUon of a reliable relief tvUrler might havo caused the retirement of the side
with three or four runs for tho Inning. Judging by what Cunningham had
shown In tho first Inning, the Mackmen had a fair chanco to overcome tho lead.
Four Men Had Two Trips to the Plato in the Second
BEFORE Weaver retired the side the Tigers had batted around once, while
Heliman, Burns, Young and Stanago had two tries and eight runs had been
scored. These tallies not only clinched the victory, but spoiled an afternoon's
pleasure for the fans, who were forced to watch a gamo which developed Into a
farce.
Manager Mack says he selected Weaver and then Itay because he did not
want to wasto one of his regular twlrlers, as he docs not Iniend to ruin a promis
ing staff by sending two or three regulars to the mound every time a pitcher
has a bad day and Is forced to retire. Mack's reason Is an excellent one, but
With Bush, Croweil attd Myers In reserve for tho rest of the series, Tom
Eheehan, a pitcher who worried tho Tigers last season, would have been an
Ideal relief hurler.
Tho defeat was particularly discouraging because of the size of the crowd,
tho fans being very much Interested In the Mackmen after the trouncing they
handed Walter Johnson on Monday. The fans were very much disappointed, but
should not feel discouraged. Games such aa the first clash with tho Tigers are
bound to occur at rare Intervals. It Is Just as well to be beaten 16 to 2 as 1 to 0,
and perhaps better, as there Is no strain or heart-breaking moments in such a
contest. The men aro being schooled to forgot, tho past and think of the present
and future, and tho crushing defeat will not worry them.
Irf looking back over the old flies of Sporting Life, It is impossible to find
another game In the history of major league baseball where as many passes
were Issued as In yesterday's Athletics-Detroit game, The record game, prior to
yesterday, was played in Pittsburgh on June 30, 1893, between Pittsburgh and
Brooklyn. Terry, Kitten and Gumbert, of Pittsburgh, Issued 15 passes, while
Xovett and Haddock, of Brooklyn, passed nine batters, making a total of 24, which
Is six behind tho record of, Nabors, Weaver and Ray, of tho Athletics, and Cun.
nlngham and Poland, of Detroit.
For the flrBt time In a championship gameBlellbauer, Mack's recruit out
fielder from Peoria, showed a' flash of the hitting form which featured his work
at tho training camp. Stelloauer made a triple and double, both being long, ciean
wallops, while, Crawford picked a terrlflp foul off the right field wall, One of
tho drives, was made off a curve ball, which heretofore has bothered Stellbauer.
Cy Williams, the lanky Chicago outfielder, Is now showing Joe Tinker Just
Why seven other National League clubs were anxious to make a trade for him
when he placed 'WJlllama name on the famous list of undesirables given out by
ta Cub leader last winter. Williams has won three games within the last week
with his terrtno drives.
