I; rjiUci subject up lor iiisrussinii toiny is n unu emu v. men rcprei.eiiis reirou, n
JL city said to be permanently located in Mfrlifgnti. lu tlic onion Unys, eyen as
far back ns 1010. It wus 11 wtiimnu bollof that this baseball club represent Iur
i Detroit consisted of Tynis f'obb and several other persons who played minor parts.
F In fact, some of the slnnRlly Inclined critics nicknamed the. ball club the "Tysers,"
' winch meant all that tn- imme implied.
But they put on a new record recently nnd then- ban been an entire chnnse
of fcceuery. Instead of one leading man nnd n sans of Slmbrrt athletes the mn-t
recent cast consists of a palmy of stars or words to that effect. Mr. Cobb and a
couple of dozen highly accomplished joutis athletes are lu the l!-0 revue, and this
gang has nothing on Its mind except grabbing, copping, annexing and otherwise
swiping a pennant which Is nwarded annually by the American League to the team
which finishes in first place. That's all they care about this year. If there are
; any" other honors, they arc perfectly satisfied to let the other seven clubs fight it
out among thrnuelvci.
Therefore, we have disposed of the plot of thin story. The Detroit b.iecbnll
club has announced its Intention of winning the Johiuonlan banner, nnd take it
from us, they should be taken seriously, llughie Jennings lias a great bunch of
ntbtetcs on the payroll, and It looks ns if he would cause considerable t"iiibln in
the 'next six months. lie has a lot of veternns on hand and they will form it
Bt nucleus around which to construct n championship team. The outfield is high-
class, the Infield is fair nnd It seems ns if the catching stnff will be on the job.
The only thing ut all doubtful is the pitching staff, but John Wesley Coombs) has
been engaged to tutor the twlrlers. nud Johu is an accomplished instructor.
When a baseball malinger points with pride to the occupants of eight posi
tions and views with nlarm the candidates for the pitcher's peak, it should not
be n cue line to register surprise. That is exceedingly old stuff, and every man
ager In the big show, with the exception of McOraw nud Krcd Mitchell, is
, pulling it.
F A major league pilot could get a high-class slinging squad early in
the year, he could forget all about ball games and spend his after
noons in the movies.
Lcft'Handed and Cross-Eyed Pitcher
GATHER closely nnd ht's take a look at the hurling hopes now on exhibition
twice a day. First, there is Ccorgc Duuss, a gent who has been through the
' mill and not subject to stage fright. In addition, George is n fine (linger nnd will
learn n lot of new stuff from Coombs. Hemic Italnml Is next on the list, and
everybody knows Ileruie can do many things with a baseball. Doc Ayers. who
was swiped from Washington last year, still Is present and voting, nnd will be
used frequently with good results.
Next to appear is a tall Swede. Howard Khmkc by name, who flings with
his starboard Hipper. Howard developed into n high-class performer at the tall
end of last season, nnd is expected to continue the good work. Hubert R. Leon
ard, who was purchased for $13,000 last year, has proved a good Investment, and
is the star of the troupe. Hubert will do n great deal in keeping the Tigers in
the first division. S'itn Love, another portsider, says lie is in the pink, and will
have the best jear of his career. Thnt disposes of the old birds.
The recent a ipiNitions are all that could be de-ireil. Claude .Tonnard. pur
chased from Nashville, po-sesses one eje. but that's all he needs to get by. Kvery
time Claude pitches, the batters uncork a new supply of alibis, which proves he is
good. He Is a right-hander, twenty-two years old, and Jack Coombs says he will
remain with the club. Frank Okey. another hurler, not only is left-handed, but
also cross-ejed Frank lias a deceiving move when runners are on base, lie
appears to be looking at the runner, but that is not true. When he pitches to the
plate, the man on first runs back to the on;, and when he throws tn first, the
batter makes a futile swing at the bull, which in't there. However. Frank needs
more experience, and will be sent to the tall and uncut for nnother season.
J. N. Itoberts. of New Orleans, looks like a good prospect and .Jennings in
tends to keep hi'n. Uobby is a big guy. sW feet three inches tall, nnd weigh
200 pounds.

for nll-around tenmwork it must be ad
mitted that the winners had the edge on
the Kastern League tltleholders. The
teams come together again at Scran
ton this evening, and In cae Scran
ton is the winner it will he nil over,
but If Camden reverses the score a third
and deriding clusli, will lie necessary.
Nut Holmnii, the star guard, who Is
also a member of (leniiantovvti with
Druggy nnd Median, failed to put in
an appearance nnd did not even send
nny word, but how his presence could
have improved the visitor- would be
hard to understand, notwithstanding.
that he is conceded in this seetlou to

ininutive backtleld inaii plned the gnme ,

ent. Hoy Steele. Each lauded three Held j

Camden thnt lived up to the expeectu
tlons of the home rooters.

This year it will be different. Jennings says the men will play the game

Detroit looks like a pennant contender. The team should finish in the first
