we'll wsd their 1909 Detroit hopes up
into spitball and wing u over the
fence.
The Detroit baseball club will en-
deavor as usual TO keep ave pitchers
In working order from the seasons
start 10 It's close To do this requires
reserve force OF At least TWO men.
During about six early weeks OF the
season there Will be three.
Donovan and Killian can be counted
out OF any active duty ON the nrinS
line before May Is or later, in all proc
ability.
It's a cinch that. during this period
injuries excepted, the i've regular
toilers will be Summers, Mullin, WI
lett. Winter and Suggs
Speer and +. Jones are pretty sur"
to constitute the reserve force at this
stage OF the game. with one more colt
perhaps.
When Wild Bill and Husky Ed be-
gin TO get busy. however, two OF the
regular spring 1--WE are sure TO be
forced onto the reserve squad. ONE
OF THE SEVEN REGULARS MUST
SIMPLY BREAK AN ARM TO MAKE
ROOM FOR SPEER, "BUMPUS
JONES OR ANYBODY ELSE.
It's fine piece OF bunco, this an
nusl furry over, spring pitchers.
True. there has been years wnen
the chance OF developing a new HEAVIER
was mighty serious matter. but
these seasons were not the ones IN
which Detroit took the field with six
veteran pitchers. all OF them demon
strated TO be crackerjacks, and one
other with a season or big-league ex-
perience and education under his belt
The one uncertainty admissible Ia
the discussion Of the Tiger pitching
proposition Is contained In the ques-
ton, WHO WILL MOVE OFF THAT
LIST OF SPRING REGULARS, MEN

SEND UMP|RES ON
TRAINING TRIPS

SOUTHERN PINES. y c.. March
Is. Manager Murray OF the phillies,
saws There should be decided
change in the umpiring Of these prac-
tice games ia the south The league
should assign umpires for the spring
training trips These umpircs should
be compelled to come south and train
the same as the players.
They should take long walks and
runs AMI they should umpire the
games They should get their eyes in
shape the same as the Datsmen They
should start Ia with the pitchers and
get accustomed TO straight balls AMI
then TO curve balls. Such a plan
would result ia far better umpires
umpiring ia the championship games.
An umpire should be assigned 10 each
team. and the expenses for his trip
could be paid either by the club or
BY the league. | am going 10 try
and have rule TO this effect passed
