dOubie-header at the ball park yesterday
afternoon. AS -Hughey Jennings drew
upon his unidentified vocabulary % give
uttecance TO his 'He-e-ahs" and
"We-e-ahs," he danced about in the
coaching box, going through outlardish.
monkeylike contoruons. and all the while
pulling for dear life for the success Of the
Tigers. lie pulled literally and fgura-
tiyely-pulled grass CD by The roots and
then pulled it TO pieces; pulled his arms
back and forth and fairly pulled MS
muscles out of place. BE was a sight
10 see, was Jennings. An escaped patient
from 81. Eizabeth's could not have given
a. WeirGer performance.
VITA the manners Of a gentleman OH
the bah field, Jennings is verJable
clown ia the coaching box. To old-,ime
patrons OF the game he recalls Arlie
Latham, though lacking Latham's Wit.
Now and then he varies his "He-e-ahs'
and ''Vt-e-aLs'' with Get III en- or
Go at EN-. Line 'eu out" Work
hard" and other stock phrases, but the
unspeakably crazy "He-c-5hs" Wee
ahs." 2rd -.Ye-e-ahS~ generally make up
the whole or his repertoire.
Does it count for anything? Appar-
emily it does. While he was grimacing
and cavorting AID making a lunatic of
himself yesterday. aided and abetted by
Germany Schaefer across the diamond
his players were pulling out of tight
places ard showing a standing -room-onIy
crowd how the game ought to bc played
into first place by narrow margin. out
