T|GES LIKE To
Be REMINDED

SAN ANTONIO. Tex. March 10
II anything pleases the Detroit Tigers
in their travels through the southland,
1t is TO meet some Detroiter whom
they know or to meet some scene
which recalls To them the city which
they have done SO much to make fa-
nous In sporting way and with
which they are all proud TO be asso-
ciated.

elodeons Il bunch or colored pictures

at any rate.
Another thing that made a big hit
with the Tiges was the tower lights OF
Austin That city lights itself as
Michigan's metropolis and gave the
ball players a taste OF home which
they were not slow to appreciate.

The pretty work which Davy Jones
and Wade Killifer have been turning
or down here once more calls atten'
ton TO the fact that, in this pair. De
troit has undoubtedly two OF the fast
est substitute players in the world
men who would, in all probability, win
for themselves regular positions ON al
least six OF the seven other American
league teams but who. with the Tlg
ers, Will be forced to warm the Dench
In The regular games, except when one
OF the regulars is out OF ii.
Beyond question IL Is grand
thing for the Detroit management TO
be SO we'll fortified. Jones presence
certainly won for the team its first
American league pennant for, with
Mcintyre out OF il in May. Jones step
ped I'm and played, everything consid-
cred. the best left field In the league,
his work in the field and on the bases
being one OF the greatest factors In
the Detroit success.
Killifer. too. has helped out in fine
style and has won the reputation OF
being one OF the best. il not the very
best utility man for intield roles III
the league
But how do these men like the pros
pect OF another season or compare
tive idleness? This question has
doubtless occurred TO every thought
ful supporter OF the Tigers. Are they
satisfied to sit back and draw salary
for their reserve powers while the
others win the glory? Or do they
chafe for an opportunity of starring
once in a while. as undoubtedly either
OF them is well qualified to do. even
with some team "a bit less strong IN

the men aud they answer IL different

Jones is philosopher. He admits
that mis- first assignment to tne
bench came AS a very unWelcOne
mandate. He feared that. with no OPP
portunity TO show his ability with reg
ularity, his play would suffer as II
did last year. and his salary would be
sliced to a figure far below what he
conld have shown himself able to
earn, were he but favored with reg

SAN ANTONIO. Tex, March 10
This is the greatest town in Texas for
tourists and large share OF the indus
tries OF the city have been planned
with a view TO enticing odd nickels
from the pockets OF itinerants. One
OF the curious narrow, winding streets
OF the burg consists almost entirely
OF auction rooms. soda fountains, curio
stores, chili-con-carne joints and
nickelodeons. All OF said enterprises
get the cordial support OF the Tigers
but, most OF all. the last mentioned.
The Tiges have developed into set
OF nickelodeon fends.
To simplify the slight difficulty OF
organizing one OF these theater par
ties 4 system OF signals has been de-
vised by Wahoo Sam Crawford so tina
now all that is necessary TO secure CO
operation on one Of these raids Is Tor

 Las Dos Naciones (Two Natiops) has during the past dozen years grown to be one of the most inn portant cigar factories Tn the coun- try, and has been great factor in advertising Nogales to the outside world, besides giving employment year in and year out, to many men and women. The company also has a mammoth branch house in San Francisco, California, which is the distributing point for the Pacific coast trade. which yearly handles hundreds of thousand high grade Mexican, Havana and do mestic cigars.
 Lieutenant Richard Fleischer, the veteran travelling salesman of this city, is also representing Two Nations on the road, and it is safe to say with two hustlers like the Lieutenant and Bo, the local fact .ory will soon be working a greatly increased force in all departments.
