JENNINGS COULD HIT SOME.
Detroit Manager Rad Good Batting
Record In National League.

As a batter Hughey Jennings was easy
for the pitchers until Hanlon showed him
how the old-timers used to hit. Then
Hugh began TO be a most dangerous man
for the pitchers, and one season he fell
only three points shy OF reaching the 400
mark. Jennings was absolutely fearless
in his stand at the plate, and got hit by
pitchers oftener than any other man in
the business. He used to wear heavy
pads on his left hip, but in spite of this
protection his body was generally COM
pletely covered with blue and black spots
from the day the season opened until I,
closed.
Hughey's decline as d batter dated from
the day Amos Rusie almost killed him at
the Pole Grounds by hitting him in the
head with a pitched ball-an accident sim
liar TO Bresnahan's-but he gave I'D the
playing end of baseball with grand
average for sixteen years Of .303, stealing
40 bases in that time and making 22s sac
rifce hits, His complete batting record

If Mccormick were as good with the

Big Broome is putting up a good exhi-

him.
There are only two more games TO be
played, and both will have a bearing on
the final standing of the first three
teams
Dick Conner has the Ninth team go

much more interesting contest tnan
the last battle these two teams had. as
First's work on that occasion was far
below the article Of ball that the team
has been putting up this year.

Hurley, after driving in two of the

The most amusing and entertaining fea-
ture OF the three Detroit games at Ma
tional Park Friday and yesterday was
the unique and original coaching OF
Hughey jennings. the Detroit manager.
The outlandish language used by Jen-
nings IN encouraging and directing his
men from the coaching lines kept the
crowds in good humor, but the biggest
hit was made when the manager pulled
out littld tin whistle and blew it to his
hearts content.
However. there Is trouble brewing In
the American League and the squabble
which may go before the national COM
mission. is over the little. innocent-lOok-
ing whistle
Can you beat Il?
The suspension of Hughey Jennings
manager Of the Detroits, was the upshot
OF that same little whistle. and before
the trouble Is over Jennings will carry
the now notorious whistle before the ma
tiOnal commission at its next sitting, un-
less he gets his legal rights.
johnson Says No.
Ban Johnson, president of the Amer
ican League, has set his foot, and the 300
pounds of superstructure, down fiat on
the whistle or any other mechanical de-
vice for coaching purposes. He says
whistles VIII do for postmen and police
men, but they won't 80 in the American
League
HUghey Jennings has come out Of his
shell, and explained the facts leading NJ
TO his suspension. While they may ap-
pear ludicrous, Ban johnson and his um-
plres are as serious over the situation as
& set of old owls
Jennings has q throat affection, and
from his efforts 10 put his team In the
lead from the coaching lines. his pipes
failed 10 work and his voice was no more
That didn't stop Hughey. He thought
out a scheme
The next day. at Boston. ne appeared on
the coaching line armed with a postman' ;
whistle and every time a Detroit player
would get on base. as he couldn't get his
voice, he'd let loose a shriu blast from
the whistle. For a while this had the
bleacherites in an uproar of merriment,
as the novelty and effectiveness Of the
scheme caught them right of the reel.
IL was an innovation.
The next day Jennings again appeared
pire O'Loughiin ordered him not TO use
IL.
Jennings Dis0beys.
Seeing no rules in the book to prevent
the use Of a whistle on the coaching
lines, Hughey saw a good chance and,
disobeying the injunction, cut loose. He
was promptly benched-
Not TO be sQuelched. he came out with
his weapon the following day. and this
time he was ordered or the field and sus-
pended for ten days
Now Jennings says there is no law In
baseball 20 prevent the use Of a whistle,
and, unless he is allowed TO blow TO his
hearts content he will appeal to the
highest baseball tribunal in the land.
On the other hand, Ban Johnson says
he is running the American League ac-
cording TO his own ideas, and there'n be
no whistling on the diamond while he is
boss.
The poor little whistle, in the meantime,
Is resting comfortably in the Detroit bat
bag, perfectly willing to go to court any
time called

There were murmurs of astonish-

He took the dog by the tail and
dragged him around. He stood with
his foot on him. He beat him with a
stick and sent him to his kennel in
AFFECT fear.
There was a great shout of admira-
ton, and the colonel became white
faced with anger. In a voice vibrat-
ing with passion he ordered a SER
geant's guard to load their carbines
and step to the front. Then turning to
Ram Lal he said:
