HOW JENNINGS
TALKS It OVER
WITH HIS TEAM
Practical Advice After
Game Shows Next
Day-No Fool
lShneSS.

DETROIT, Aug. 6.-No better man in
baseball could be picked 10 lead a ball
team in such a position as the Tigers
now hold than Jennings. Despite that
wiid-eyed enthusiasm he shows on the
coaching lines, he Is coldly practical in
the handling OF his men after the con-
test Is over.
There are quiet congratulations for the
men who have done well and criticism
as quiet and sincere for the men who
have made mistakes. During a game he
Is the most excited man on the team
apparently. After il is over, he is the
quietest-
School Of Instruction.
A trip TO the clubhouse after a game
in which the Tigers have participated
is worth while TO any follower Of the
game. It Is a school Of instruction.
The players have become accustomed
TO listen while dressing as Jennings
analyzes the entire game, picking out
the turning points Of the contest and
showing the weaknesses OF the oppo-
nents
The teammates listen and are asked
10 think Of IL during the night You'll
find them around the corridors or at
morning practice Offering the own
suggestions the next day They have
picked up each thread Of Jennings
talk and worked Il out 20 their own
satisfaction. Il has given them new
Ideas and they suggest them.
Makes Them Think.
That Is the secret Of Jennings sue
cess in a large degree. He has the
knack Of getting his men 10 think su
the time. on or of the field. Anyo,.e
who thinks. he argues, will be benefited
IN baseball more than IN the one way.
The player who studies HIS game deeply
Will seldom let overcOn1dence rule his
play.
The TIGER leader knows tho failing OF
men on top. He has been in as many.
II not more, championship struggles that
were engineered successfully, than any
American League ball player. He knows
when enthusiasm can be carried too far.
That Is why he calls his players to-
gether at their hotel and talks TO them
practically the entire evening some
thing in this fashion.
His Line Of Talk.
We are winning" he says. 'and we
are on top I know how YOU all feel
But for the time being forget all this
Think only OF the bitter Fight we've

now are as good as any in the league.
There's not a man on the team who is

Navy Sticks to Glendou.

At Annapolis they think properly that
there is no one like Dick GlendOn. who
has coached the Navy for years. Glen
don's crews have frequently beaten the
best OF the college eights at two miles,
but this was the first opportunity his
men ever had to measure their strength
with the collegians at the POUghkeepsie
regatta. where the Middies made a fine
showing. Tile Navy eight was on the
outside. and At the time the race was
rowed their course was undoubtedly the
worst OF the seven.
Syracuse is satisfied with James Ten
Eyck, although he has returned their
crew winner IN only one regatta. This
years varsity eight was one OF the
poorest that has represented Syracuse
IN number Of years. and when the
boat shipped water during the first two
miles, everybody knew that the crew
was out Of It.
