We played hard there.
"'Kid' Gleason was a member
of the club. The Kid played in

pretty well. One noon after din

They didn't fire the Kid for
being absent that day. No. That

VALUE OF sLUGGERS.
Detroits Two Pennants Won by AbiI
ity of Heavy HItters.

The worth of sluggers was never
moro clearly demonstrated than in tho
past two seasons. when the Detroit
Tigers won two pennants on their hit
ting ability. with only ono dependable
pitcher-Donovan-a inferior catch
ing staff and an inflcld that was not
nearly so fast as others In the Ameri-
can league. this team simply slugged
its way to two worlds series.
outside of Mcintyre and Cobb the
team has no fast base runners. so in
order that runs might be mado 1t be-
came absolutely necessary that the
boys with the bats get busy. How
well Cobb. Crawford. Rossman. McIn-
tyre. Schaefer and the rest of them ac-
compliShed their duty in that respect
is history. Many baseball sharps dis
count hitting ability and point TO the
Chicago White Sox as examples.
There" they say. ''is team that does
not need hittcrs. They win anyway"
True. but-and here is the rub-they
arc unable more times than not to "go
the route" This proposition of hay-
Ing lot OF dangerous hitters works
three ways. In the first place, It in
spires confidence in the team itself:

What is more. Bresnahan is making
changes In his team which are prov

chance for him to finish in the first
division. the Cardinals this year are
not the easy proposition they were In
former seasons
Baseball has perhaps mover had a
man who could pick up as many good
ball players from the most remote
sources as does Connie Mack, the clcv-
cr manager of the Philadelphia Amcri-
cans. Much sympathy was bestowed
upon Mack last winter. No better than
seventh place was picked for him, and
there seemed to be little doubt about
that after the present season was
few weeks old. but after the wonder
fully good showing OF his team on the
recent western trip 1t became apparent
that Mack has another good ball club.
Last season Mack tore his old team
to pieces and replaced the older mem
bcrs with young blood. While the
Athletics do not appear very strong
individually. Mack with his great
managerial ability may be able to
whip together n pennant winning COM
bination. Mack does not pay fancy
salaries to the members of his team.
He manages to hold his salary list
under $4,000 for the season and won
his first Dennant with team that cost
him but $4,000 in salaries.
Ball players who demand big figures
to play for any other club go to Mack

-T now looks as II tho next bnttl

bavo signified their willingness to ex'
change walIops, hooks. Jabs and swings
in a twenty-five round bout In Sar
Francisco tho first week in September
Johnson's apparent willingness &c
fight Kaufman a long battle shows
that he has little respect for Billy De-
laney's big heavyweight 1t is really
n surprise that tho colored man con-
sented to a bout over twenty rounds
He has always seemed to like the
twenty round affairs, figuring. perhaps.
that he could fall back on his clever
ness and win on points In case he was
hard pressed
II tho bout comes off with both men
in superb condition 1t should result In
ono OF tho greatest battles ever held
in this country. While Kaufman has
not set the puglistic world afro with
his performances in the ring, he has
shown improvement in every battle in
which he has engaged In the last year
or two. True, 1t took him thirty-n -ninc
rounds to dispose OF Jim Barry of Chi
cago, a second ratcr, In California re-
Gently. and later he failed TO stop Tony
Ross in ten rounds In New York. but
his manager. Billy Delaney. says that
1t was at his request that Al permitted
these fellows to stay so long. Tho
clever manager Also states that tho
experience his protcge gained in these
two battles will greatly aid him In his
contest with Johnson.
There is no doubt that Johnson will
have the time of his life trying to de-
feat Kaufman-in fact do not think
the colored man can perform the feat.
Tho California Hercules has a sleep

is every bit as clever as the colored
man. AS an amateur AL reJoiced under

opponents in the first round.
In his initial professional fight some
years ago Kaufman was knocked out
in nineteen rounds by philadelphia !
Jack" O'Brien. But since then he has
improved wonderfully under the caro-
full handling of Delaney. The latter
says that Kaufman has shown as
much. IL not more, promise than JEFF
fries did at the Same period of the lat
teTs career. Kaufman was severely |
scored because he failed to put his two
recent opponents away in jig time, but
II you remember when Delaney first
took hold of Jeffries he failed to put
away Bob Armstrong, a second rater,
in ten rounds. In his battle against
Armstrong Jcffries did nothing like
championship work-in fact, he was
the laughingstock of tho sporting
world. He went back to California in
a hurry and was disgusted with him
self But a year later he camo back
and won the title from Fitzslmmons.
Kaufman is now in the same boat.
