Jack Is one OF the most important
members OF the local team, and It Is

games in five days should not be too
much for the sturdy western lad, and
II is hoped Manager Jennings will
send back Siever, who worked against
Burns last Thursday. The battles be-
tween the Nationals and Tigers have
proved unusually interesting and well
fought. and another big crowd will be
on hand to see the fun.

The Detroit club should have play

In the east the weather has been a
