JENNINGS CONFIDENT.

Says Detroit Has Better Team Than
 Pirates and VIII Win.
 Detroit. Mich.. Oct 2-(Special)- Manager Jennings expresses the utmost confidence that the Tigers will win the not hash ful about comparing the mer- It's of his boys and the Pirates.
 Cobb offsete Wagner" he said, and our pitchers are better and are going better just now Both teams won their flags by heavy hitting. and Muilin, Don. ovan. and Summers are better able to stop the Pirates than any right -hand- CTS they can put against us. Ed Kill Hans work at Boston shows his class among left-handers.
 'aThe fact that most of our men have had worlds series experience also will be an immense help to us. Bush is new to 1t, but they have not a better in- fielder. Our infield as whole is going better than any we ever had. 1t Is far ahead of the one which met the. Cubs two seasons, and in the matter of runs they did not beat us so badly in most of the games"

JEFF WANTS S15O,OOO
CHAMP PLACES FIGURE ON PURSE
 FOR BIG FIGHT.
Doubtful Any Club Will Hang Such . Large Sum Up for Mill-
 Home This
 Month. ,.


 Now comes the news ticket off mer- rily from the wires that run from Parisian boulevards to the land of the free and the home of the brave that Champion James Jay Jeffries wants a purse of $150,000 hung up and guar anteed before he will enter the squared circle with the Texas negro.
 Can you beat 1t?
 cate that the Pacific Coast farmer be- lieves his encounter with Jack John- son will be his last ring engagement, and has put a price on his curly head. country who. despite the word fre- quently published abroad and cabled here. believe Jeff will call off the mill when he reaches little old New. York late in this month. Jeff says he in- tends making an example of the negro and has been at some German "bads' --get it--''bads" taking the waters, Is assuming rapidly a pink hue and that he will be fit when the gong rings.
 Maybe he will, but this yell for a muh or the others Interested in the fighting game. It Is most doubtful if any club or individual will hang up such 2 royal purse as the champion Is that if Jeff succeeds in inducing any one to hang the sum up, he'll have to be paid in small sums at intervals.
 But that's the dope--take it or leave 1t. Wise ones declare Jeff and Jack really will mix 1t up; equally wise ones say they won't.
 There'll be a clearing of the mist about seven days from October 16, when agreements will be signed or left unsigned.
