SAN ANTONIO Tex, March 10
Detroit fans should not wax too jupi-
liant over the defeat OF these Texas
teams by the Tigers While the Long
Horns have been soundly walioped
thrashed and made TO like II, ~ Is
about what Is coming TO them On gen.
eral principles They are not very
CLASSY and the Jungle Tribe shouli
get lots OF good batting and bdse.run-
ming practice against ghem-but NJ
really hard wear.
AS the San Antonio bunch lined up
sunday. the Saginaw champions ~
the South Michigan league. Burkart's
brides, should trounce them about Ave
games out OF six.
H. Jennings is again revising the
schedule game is TO be played
Wednesday with san Antonio and an.
other one next Sunday. The Dallas
management. hich has scheduled the
Tigers for two days IN April, has pro-
posed that these dates be transferred
to ST. Louis. the two American league
teams being esteemed a better attrac-
ton.

Sundays Games at san'ntone.
San Antonio's Texas league cham.
pions were taken into camp by the
Tigers 8 to IN Sundays game. There
was paid attendance OF more than
1900, which was bright feature. Jen.
nings men got their runs early and
the Bronchos did not score until the
game was safe
Dayy Jones was a star With home
run, single, three stolen bases and
couple OF passes. Bush, OLeary anu
Crawford starred In the fielding end
and Beckendorf looked very good be-
hind the bat
Each side used three pitchers, one
OF the Bronchos being Main, who
lives at Ortonyille and Used 10 play
with Flint. Bumpus Jones pitched a
little too hard and has sore arm now
Works was wild and Speer also show
ed that he needs more work. Mortar
Nv was spiked in the hand, but mol
seriously.
Training Camp Talk
George Winter Is homesick anc
freely cofifesses it, Sunday evening
he saw Mr.. and Mrs. Mullin going out
for a stroll under the silent southern
stars and the sight was too much.
Il wish Id never come down here,
he admitted. almost on the verge u
tears. Il haven't seen little Georg 2
nor his mother for ten days and there
will be mouth more of IT, I'll never
be able TO hold out"
Jennings liz going TO try to teach
Bumpus a better windup motion. He
claims that Bumpus Is too much in
clined To hand the ball TO the batter
= ain the groove" and believes that, II
Oxford's pride can learn 10 pivot wi
his back TO the batter before deliver
ing the ball, he will perform the
double purpose of deceiving the batter
and making his control q bit less
fatally perfect.
Davy Jones has earned the reputa-
ton of being the Tigers most danger
GUS batsman down here. His home
run in Sundays game was clean
drive TO the flag pole in left field. DaVy
sprinted TO third with all the speed
for which he Is noted and The hnal
Ian of the trip found him staggering
but game
The fact that. away down in Texas
the Tigers ran across pitcher nan.
ing from Flint. Mich, affords still
further proof OF the real smallness OF
the world Main is his name and he
IL as tall as Falkenberg. of Cleveland
He winds up as though turning a
crank.
Detroit's share OF Sundays receipts
