SEVERAL DETROIT STARS

Younger Members of Families striv-

It is a singular fact that nearly half
of the members of the Detroit ball
club have brothers who are striving
with great ambition to win place
in the big leagues. Up to date but
one has attracted big-league attention.
He is Paul Cobb. brother OF Tyrus.
St Louis Americans drafted him at
the close of the 1908 season He was
not even tried on. this spring with the
majors, and Manager Jimmy McAleer
is now trying to sell him to minor
league club. Charley Schmidt has
brother, a catcher. also, with the
Memphis club, and. from all accounts,
he promises to develop into a good
ball player. In fact, Memphis has
turned him over to Carolina Associ-
alton club for development.
DaVy Jones has brother who as
pires to follow in the footsteps of his
famous brother Eddie LATTE has
brother, a tall. rangy chap. who would
like to become another Charley Ben

Passing Of Jack ravIor

The release of Pitcher Jack Taylor
who helped to keep the Columbus club
up In the race in the American associa-
ton last year. means the passing of
Jack Taylor from the big leagues, for
it is not likely that any other club in
the association will take chance on
him now that Columbus has passed
him up. Taylor has been a notable
pitcher for the past u years and he
was considered one of the mainstays
in the Chicago club for quite a while.

LONG RIDES BETWEEN CITIES
CAUSE FATIGUE AND OFTEN
RESULT IN DEFEAT.
FORM REVERSAL EXPLAINED
Men Unable to Perform Their Best
After Weary Journeys over Hun
dreds of Miles in Warm Weather
Some People Believe Players Lucky
and Like to Travel on Same Trains

In connection with the splendidly or
ganized system of professional base
ball there is one feature to which the
public seldom gives a thought, and
vet 1t is one of the most important
matters that has to do with the pas
time.
1t is the travel offhand, one seldom
thinks of the long journeys which the
teams of the country are compelled to
make to fill their schedule engage
ments. The extension of territory
has been going on for so long, and
the fact that a team may play in New
York one day and in Cleveland or
Pittsburg the next, has come to be
so much matter of common knoWi-
edge that it attracts no attention
Yet it should. In spite Of the com
fort with which the Americans travel
and the great distances which they an
initiate in a night, there is a certain
amount of hard work in connection
with railroad life which does wear on
the players. Without the facilities
which are at our command to go from
one section of the country to another
the baseball circuits would be much
more clrcumscribed than they are
now. Jumps to St. Louis from Boston,
the longest route that is traversed,
would be out of the question. The
great intersectional leagues would be
impossibilities.
AS it is, players. when making the
long journeys. are less likely to 90
themselves justice than when they
have shorter rides to fill their engage
ments.
The best-trained athlete, and the one
who observes most carefully the re-
quirements of perfect health. hardly
feels at his best when he arrives in
ST. Louis after a long night ride over
the fat bottom lands Of southern In
diana and southern Illinois in mid
summer.
Occasionally there is a reversal OF
form on the part of teams from the
east which play at st. Louis. which is
attributed to the carelessness Of the
players. but, as a matter of fact, is
simply the result of physical weari-
ness and nervous worry after rail
road ride of hundreds of miles.
An instance of travel WEAKNESS was
in evidence this spring when the New
York National league club was on its
way home from the Texas training
quarters. The players had been on the
road almost every night for week
The first time that they enjoyed q
thorough rest was in Richmond. and
even then they were called at an early
hour in the morning to take the train
for Newport News
Another interesting fact in connec
ton with baseball clubs is that some
people live who choose to go on q
train on which a ball club is travelling
in preference to any other, because
they believe that the players srt
lucky travellers.
