DETROIT IN GOOD SHAPE.
Jennings Asserts that Tigers show
Is Better Than Last Spring.


Louisville, April Manager Hughey
Jennings. Of the Detroit Tigers. up to the
present writing has persistently refused
TO make any statement IN regard to his
expectations When asked TO make some
statement, he said:
"The work of the spring trip this year
has been more satisfactory than it was
last year by far We stand far better as
a club than we did at this time last sea-
son. The Tigers are stronger right now
than they We're a year ago In every de-
partment For that reason I feel We have
a better chance for the flag than in 1907
This year the boys have worked as a
unit. They have team work as good as at
any time last year, and from a fielding
standpoint they look much better The
one drawback so far has been in the hit
ting. This is solely from lack of prac-
tice. Before we hit the Windy City for
the opening Of the race we ought to have
made up for lost time in this department
All the boys need is several hard games
to get back their batting eyes and we
will give any club that is leading US the
worst scare they ever got in their lives
"Our pitching staff satisfies me so far
We look good there, and our catching
stan is considerably stronger. The in
field has had the advantage Of one years
work together. and / expect big improve
ment around the first sack. Rossman Is
working especially well this season. The
outfeld cannot be improved upon
The one great factor is the fact that
We WOE last year. The boys will go on
the field with the old determination stick
ing out all over them; they can't help It
They have tasted victory, and they know
what IL means"
Then you practically predict another
No; l don't Baseball Is too change
able game to make any prophecies. but
Will say this We've got a better
chance by far in every way to win the
flag than we had last year"

Tigers Not Hitting.

The Detroit team complains of bad
weather and weak hitting. Three news
paper men are in the camp and tell dole
full tales of the way the minor leaguers
have been batting the Tiger pitchers while
noteworthy sluggers as Cobb. Crawford
ct al, have been giving bean bag exhibit
tions. Still Jennings can see nothing but
his club, and. like Cantillon, is confident
that his best batters viii be right on the
job when the real season opens.
The Detroit complaint is similar to that
Of nearly all the major league teams in
the South this spring For Washington
the only consistent hitting has been that
of Pickering, who has played thirteen
games and made hits in all for a total Of
eighteen safe swats and a large number
of extra bases
Among the best and most timely Wash
ington batters have been Mcbride and
Street both notoriously poor stickers.

slow and what is gained at the spigot is lost at the bung. The injunction to train up child in the way he should go is the foundation philosophy of correction. Better advice the wit of man never invented.
 Any adequate program of preven- ton involves the employment of many agencies operating along parallel lines and aiming at the same general result The probation system, if applied with Judgment and discrimination, is cap- able of serving a great purpose in helping early offenders woo back their self-respect. The juvenile court is a valuable institution, and when touched by the personality of tactful judge who understands boy nature. has saved many wayward youngster All the resources of social science may wisely be applied to rescuing youth from a criminal life.
 But probation and the juvenile court don't reach down to first prin- ciples. They are not the starting point, but merely way stations. The main mission of prevention is to get to work ahead of these judicial institutions and to keep the volume of their business down to it's lowest terms. In its larg- CT aspects the problem of prevention is the problem of the kid in the alley, of the youngster in the street, of the
 life in the home. Boys clubs, if man. aged with tact, are a helpful steering al, .1o lz ;,, congested districts have a part to play
 in preventive work. Opportunities must be provided where boy can blow off steam without committing a msdemeanor; where, under regula- ton, he can gratify natural love for daring and adventure without being chased off the reservation by blue coat, and where the free and full de- velopmcnt of body and soul can he ac- compished without contamination and without drifting into hoodlumism. The youngster must have fair chance in the game of life. and any assump- ton that human ingenuity can make whole man out of half boy must be given up
 The program which l have outlined and which calls for the creation of a state rerurn,atory. for the central con trol of jails, for the establishment of a farm colony for rounders and for an expansion of preventive measures doesn't pretend to cover all the terri tory between Dan and Beersheba, but the proposals make for progress along sane lines.

 Preventive Work.
 The fourth and biggest need in con nection with the crime problem in Connecticut is the extension of pre- ventive work This. in the final analy- sis, is the heart of the whole matter. Relatively too much attention is paid to getting offenders back on the right track and relatively too little attention to keeping young fellows from getting on the wrong track Formation is bet ter than reformation and pays latter quarterly dividends.

If he isn't responsive the institution is not to blame Statistics purporting to give the percentage of inmates re- claimed by reformatory processes are rough guesses at the best and mislead- Ing errors at the worst, and until the human heart becomes an open book should be swallowed with barrel of salt, but the ratio of reformations is likely to be large enough to make the effort worth the trouble.
 To build, equip and maintain a re- formatory would involve good deal of expense, but I am constrained to believe that the investment would yield a dividend of social betterment. To start on a chicken coop basis and then trust to legislative luck for serial appropriations to expand and complete the institution on the nstallment plan would be blunder of judgment, If the State isn't now convinced of the necessity of reformatory and isn't yet willing to foot the bills, 1t Is bet ter to wait awhile until the need be- comes apparent
