DETROIT TEAM DOES NOT

Final Game a Farce

IF THE Detroit team win the American League pennant na It Is constructed
ftt the present time, It will bo because Iho league Is weak ami ounoslnc teams
.re hnlf-beatcn by the Tigers aggressiveness b'nt-Q Uie gatns Blurts. That Is
me opinion 01 ino veteran memoers or the Atliietics and the majority or the
tans who witnessed the four-game scries between Detroit and the Athletics.
Tho kackfnen believe that Detroit has only ono chance to win the pennant.
They argue that tha chance depends upon what Coach Ulll Sulllvnn can Co Vlth
George JBochler and George Cunningham, two recruit pitchers, nnd whether ho ,
can euro Bill James of wlldness. No doubt tho Mncktnen are right. Tho Tigera

they will win tho pennant with a great deal to scare, as claimed bv critics ,
utrougnout tno country,
Thero Is no denying that there Is an unusual amount of batting' strength
In tho Detroit llno-up, but there nlso la an unusual amount of wasted offensive
strength. With a wonderful pitching staff Detroit could afford to play the old
time slugging game, but with a corps such ns Jennings has It cannot win n
pennant on this style of play.
Detroit does not seem to know anything but how to slug. Thero Is no sign
of Inside ball, excepting by Cobb, and the other members of tho team try to
emulate the wonderful Georgian too much, with sad results. During the four
games played with tho Mackmcn the Tigers used tho hit-and-run play Just
once nnd tho sacrlflco game was forgotten entirely,
1 Good Pitching Will Show Tigers Up
PACING erratic pitching, tho Tigers have an oxccllent chnnco to get nway
with this stylo of ball, but It Is no wonder that Cleveland completely out
classed Jennings' team If Fohl's pitchers nre going as well ns the box scores
Indicate. Detroit must outslug Its opponents to win, nnd along toward the mid 'to
of tho season Jennings' men will nnd tho pitchers much hauler to hit.
It might be argued that'the Tigers would have won the pennant easily Inst
eeason on hitting ability If Jennings hnd been nblo to find one pitcher who
could keep pace with Covcleskle nnd Dauss. but In our opinion tho Detroit team
of 1915 was vastly superior to the present aggregation, though It Is composed
virtually of tho samo men. Two of the moot Important factors In the success of
the old machlno wero Sam Crawford and Donlo Hush, and both of them are
slipping rapidly.
Tho slowing down of. Crawford was rather expected, ns the famous slugger
has been In the mator leagues for 18 years, but Bush has been with the Tigers
only seven years. Hush has been playing n hard 'position nnd fights too much.
Ho Is still a steady Inlleldcr, but ho cannot cover tho ground he did a few ycais
back nnd his arm Is growing weaker, while at bat he Is ono of tho wenkest
regulars In tho major leagues.

Unquestionably In many, many cases
the thought of falluio has put fear into

THE life of a world's champion boxer Is
not one of case and comfort. Instead of
taking things ensy and meeting only log.
leal contenders for
x v the title, as cham
pions did In tho past,
the present-day title
holder Is forced to
appear over so often
against n second,
third or eighth rater,
nnd nftcr each battle
he must stand for
the abuse of the fans,
who accuse him of
picking "soft marks."
This Is tho plaint
of Johnny Kllbano,
featherweight champ,
who lingered with un
n few days after his
contest with Wllllo
Jackson last Monday night. Johnny saya
ho Is getting tired of meeting hard-hitting
boyu who know little or nothing about
tho game, and unless some real feather
weight looms up within the next year ho
plan i to retire.
"I have looked over tho field pretty
thoroughly," says Johnny, "but thore Is
no ono boxing today who can bo consid
ered 'class' In the featherwolght ranks.
I am thinking of Oeorgo Chancy when I
make this statement, for to my mind
Chancy cannot make 122 pounds, and If
lie docs thero nro a couple of dozen feath
erweights who can trim him. All of this
tnlk of a match with Ccorge nnd myself
mnkes mo smile. I am willing to meet
the Baltimore boy any plnce In tho world
excepting Baltimore for any dlstnnce
and with or without a referee's decision.
I will box nt Lclpervlllo, In Jimmy Dough
city's open-air stadium, or In Nome,
Alaska, If a suitable purse Is put up.
Has Reasons
"In fact, I am anxious to battle Chancy,
but It must bo some place else besides Bal
timore. I havo my own reasons for not
wanting to appear in that city, and, ps
I am champion, those reasons nre enough
"Thero has been some talk about my
not being able to mako 122 pounds again.
All I can say to that Is this: Go out
and dig up a GOOD ",22-poundor nnd I'll
show you whether or not I can mako the
weight. But where Is there a good feather
weight? "Tho troublo with boxers today Is lhat
they care more about malting money from
the start than preparing themselves for
big battles In the future. When a boy
shows Just a little promise In his pre
liminary battles ho Is pushed along rapid
ly, and In a year he Is a 'has-been.' In
stead of a promising boxer.
"Take Jimmy Murphy, for example.
Last year ho was a preliminary boy, anil
mndo such a showing that he was boosted
to tho wlndup ln a few months. He boxed
well ngalnst Freddie Welsh nnd others,
but struck a nnag when he stacked up
agaln3t Johnny Dundee and Benny Leon
ard, Against those two finished boxers
bo was helplcta and since that tlmo has
hit tho down grade.
"If a boxer would learn something about
tho gamo from n professional coach or
trainer, he would fare better in tho long
run Moro than halt of tho boys now
following the game don't know how to
hit properly and depend upon their nat
tural ability to get by. But It takes time
to lenrn, and the managers cannot wait
a year or so before taking down blc
purses at the box office.
Poor TcachinR
"I have heard nbout the dearth of good
boxers in Philadelphia and that a good
boy has not been developed hero for years.
That Is true. None hns been developed
because the managers will not allow it.
If a promising boy were taken into a gym
nasium and taught tho proper way to
guard and hit, and then carried along by
easy stages until he wan good enough to
appear In a wlndup. there would be a few
chamn'ons here In a short time The pres
ent system Is nil wrong, and until it Is i
changed the promoters in i-nuaaeipnin
will be forced to continue to Blgn up out-of-town
talent for the wlndupn.
"I attribute all of my success to the
teaching of Jimmy Dunn, my manager,
Jimmy has been with me since I btarted
boxing, nnd he has showed mo every angle'
of tho game He taught mo how to hit,
defend mysMf. sidestep, dodge nnd numer
ous other things, and kept right at It
until I was qhnost pcifrct
"If Jimmy had pushed mo for.vaid nt
tho beginning of mi caieer. I still would
bo boxing In semlwlnd-ups. I had many '
chances to' meet good boys, but Dunn I
turned down all offers and kept working
with mo until I was 'right ' When I met I j
Abe Attcll I wan a finished product. anJ ' I
I hao been working nnd studying ever
since. 1 get my dally lessons from Jimmy
Dunn every day I train, und I find that I
still can learn something new
"If a few of tho piomlslng preliminary
boys would follow the samo system now,

More Gibbons' Stuff
We will have more of Mike Gibbons'
boxing tonight, Johnny Cashlil, the St
Paul feathei weight, gave a wonderful
demonstration of the Phantom'B style In
his muss with Franklo White last week,
and lie will endeavor to Imitate Pompa

night. His opponent Is Tommy, Living
ston, a tough fellow, who also can punch,
and It la probable young Mr. Cashlil will
have to keep up as fatt a pace as he did
against White last week.
