JENNINGS TOQUIT?

OutgrOwth of the Loss of Worlds
Championship.
USED BAD JUDGMENT
Experiment With Pitcher Sum-
mers Started Trouble.
"Wild Bill'' Donovan Mentioned
as Successor.
USED BAD JUDGMENT

Detroit. Rich, Oct. 2I.-Rumblings of
a most horrible row are heard in Tiger
jungle. Manager Hughie Jennings is
concerned in this most ominous affair.
President Navin is said to be so keen
ly disappointed over the result of the
worlds series and Jennings handling
of the Tigers therein. that he is likely
to make point of the matter in
drawing up Jennings new contract.
1t is the two games which Summers
lost that made the trouble. The leaving
in Of Summers in his first game and
pulling out of Willett and putting in
of Works in the same game. as we'll as
the putting in of Summers for another
game, are said to have appeared to
Navin as bad management on the part
oe Jennings-blunders which had they
been avoided would have made the sew
enth and r-ost disastrous game unnec-
esSary.
On the other hand. it is argued that
Jennings took a second division club
and made three times pennant winners
or it, and made three worlds series
and their harvest of dollars possible
1t is limited that BIZ Donovan has
often been referred to by Jennings and
Navin as having in him stuff of which
good managers are made and even now
the possibility of turning to him in this
emergency is fitting through Navin's
brain.

SKIN AND BONES 0. K.
Those Sent by Roosevelt Are in Good
Condition.

Washington. Oct. 21.-Every one of
the skins in the collection of Roose-
Welt trophies received here from Africa
has been found to be in good condition
by the taxidermists OF the Smith
sonian institute.
The first lot that arrived here two
months ago was in an excellent state
|of preservation and the second con-
signment that came last week is prov
ing to have been just thoroughly
picked.
Some of the trophies are declared to
be among the most magnificent speci-
mems that have ever come into the
possession of the institute. The hippo
potamus, rninoceros and cheetah
skins are referred to by the taxider-
r1ists as especially valuable additions.
The hippopotamus skin is one of the
largest ever seen here and its condi-
ton is perfect.
With some of the skins came COM
piete sets of bones upon which they
will be mounted. In that way the
mount will be extremely correct from
the point of view of the scientist. as
the skeleton is an aid to the taxi
dermist in getting the animal lifelike.
both in respect to size and to form.

HIGH SCHOOL CHAMPIONSHIP.
Lawrence and Topeka Teams to Fight
IT Out Saturday.


The high school championship of
Kansas will be the plum attached to
the game here Saturday between the
Topeka and Lawrence high schools. The
Topeka high school for years past has
always been recognized as the cham
pion high school team of the state.
although there has been no way to
definitely decide. However, this season
the Lawrence team has declared its
intention of taking the mpionship
by decisively defeating every team it
gees against. Consequently the affair
with the local highs Saturday will be
hard fought one
The Lawrence team has overwhelmed
every opposing team this season. The
team is undoubtedly strong one.
Red Milton, the former Kansas center
is coachi the team, while a younger
Milton is playing center.
But there will be some good opposi-
ton when the team goes up against
the Topeka squad. Last season the
two teams played in two games. The
first game resulted in a victory for
Topeka. while the two teams tied in
the second affair. The Topeka team is
in good shape this season. The squad
numbers 20 men, everyone of whom is
eligible. Harry Howes, the center on
last seasons team has returned to
school and will be in Saturdays game
| this making a big improvement in the
defense of the line Coach Jim Nc
nations. which he hopes will catch the
Lawrence Highs unawares, and assist
| in swelling the score.
| The game will be played on the
Washhurn field Saturday afternoon al
Is O'Clock.

HOME RUNS BECOMING FEWER.
Gradual Decrease Each Year in the
Major Leagues

In 1901 there were 221 home runs
made in the National league; in 1908
there were ISL and in the season just
closed only 1Ss foursackers were
knocked out. In 1902 in the American
league there were ESQ home runs; in
1908 there were 115 and this year 101.
In 1902 the National league had
just been raided of many of it's hard
est hitters by the American league,
and made only So home runs; so for
purposes of comparison between the
home run hitting of the present day
and that of the early 1900s, 1901 in
the National league and 1902 in the
American are taken. The year 1902
would serve for both were it not for
the fact that the National league was
suffering most just then from the de-
pletion in its ranks of sluggers caused
by American league inroads.
The point is that the drives to the
boundaries for the entire circuit are
not so frequent by good deal as they
were seven or eight years ago. The
records will show a falling off in num-
Der of home runs. both collectively and
individually. Why this seeming de-
cadence in the making of the stalwart
drives which send the batter clear
around?
Different experts give different rea-
sons. One attributes the falling off to
the advent of the four-strike rule and
the spit ball, saying these measures
tend to discourage a batsman from
taking the free, unrestrained swing
that he would did he not have strikes
charged to him when he fouls the ball.
Another SAYS the outfielders are faster;
another says it is the different con-
struction of grounds.
AS matter of fact, there may be
reasonable explanation in any of the
foregoing reasons. Yet it IS probable
that the scientific development of the
game from year to year has not lit
tie to do with the curtailing of home
runs No less an authority than John
McGraw, who is as keen student of
every angle of baseball as there is,
says for one thing that the style of
hating has changed. Batters nova
days go to the plate less with an idea
of getting in a Furnishing wallop than
with studying and scheming with
view of hitting safely rather than hit
ting far. They are governed more by
the aspects and phases of the game
than they used to be. Team work, the
hit and run and sacrifice are more to
be considered
