ARE JENNINGS TIGERS
DUE FOR A BAD 81 UMP?
No Team in Recent Years Able to
Win Four remnants in
Succession.
TRADITION MAY BE BROKEN

Are the Detroit Tigers due To slump
during the season of 1910?
No team in recent years i'm either
Of the big leagues has been able to
win the pennant more than three
times in succession.
I'm the National the Pittsburg team
thrice COPIED the bunting. and then
dropped out OF the running for sew
eraI years. Last summer the Pirates
came back into their own and COPIED
the grand old rag. Are they due to
win IL a couple of more times?
Chicago for three years won the
honors i'm the National, also twice
gathered in the worlds championship
II was the desire of Owner Murphy
and Manager Chance to set new
record by taking four straight, but
their hopes were blasted by the super
ior playing of the Pittsburg team.
In the American league. Detroit has
captured the pcnnant three times In
succession, landing the honor i'm 1907,
1908 and 1909. Can Jennings and his
team repeat and thereby smash tradi-
ton? 1t is n much mooted question.
Jennings is resourceful chap and
he may be able to turn the trick, but
there are many who believe that the
Tigers are doomed to disappointment
in the next campaign. The clever
move of the Detroit manager i'm get
ting Delehanty from Washington and
Jones from Detroit late i'm the year un-
doubtedly saved the Tigers. Rossman
and Schaefer were going, and the add
diton of the new men prevented inn
minent danger
The one ambition of Jennings life
since joining the American league has
been to win the worlds series. He
has had three cracks at the honor and
each time he has failed. Last season
he had an excellent chance to win, but
luck broke against him throughout
That Jennings is anxious for a fourth
trial goes without saying. To get this
chance he must, of course, again win
the pennant. 1t wouldn't be at all
surprising if several deals We're made
this year in which some of the Detroit
veterans figured.
While Jennings may not be able to
see it, there are quite a few of the
critics who are certain that the
back stopping end of the Tigers must
De strengthened. Schmidt has failed
To deliver i'm the big show. Jennings
evidently feared to trust Stanage, and
Beckendorf was no doubt regarded as
too inexperienced. Malachi Kittredgc,
the former big Lacquer who had charge
Of the Scranton club when Beckcndorf
caught there. insists that the big Ger
man is better receiver than either
Schmidt or Stanage. In all probability
he will get n chance in 1910.
Can Bill Donovan come back next
season? VIII George Mullin repeat his
remarkable work of 1909? VIII SUM
mers show dependable form and can
Willetts get over his wildness? The
Tigers could be strengthened in the
box
It's n cinch that Hugh Jennings is
just n little wiser To the conditions OF
the Detroit team than any one else.
That Jennings win bolster up his
team IL he can put through the deals
Is a certainty.
If anyone can break tradition by
winning four pennants i'm a row, Hugh

Differences in Dairy Salts.

The leading brands seem to be.
none of them. wanting in the main
nstituent-chlorld of sodium
for the chemical ANALYSES of ten
brands show that a variation of only
1.Oj per cent in the quantity of
salt present the difference between a
maximum of 9S.52 per cent. and a
minimum Of 97.47 per cent. Surely
there is enough clear salt in any of
these samples to make one as good as
another if there were no other in
gradients, and If there was nothing
in the granular formation of one
brand to give it superiority over an
other. Some of the other substances,
even in the small quantities in which
they exist, vary five per cent. The
most Objectionable matter in salt is
chloride of calcium, which is found
only in the Onondaga, and to the
presence Of which may be attributed
the milky appearance of solutions Of
that salt. Sulphate of lime, which is
found more largely in foreign than
in domestic brands, is Objectionable
II found in large quantities, but there
Is not enough found in any leading
brand to have any effect. To the
other ingredients separately no seri-
Gus objection is made in view of the
very small percentage in which they
exist. We must believe. however,
that in combination they all help to
produce certain chemical results,
which more or less affect the flavor
of butter. From all these facts l am
forced to conclude that there are es-
sential differences in dairy salts. and
that the actual superiority between
the best makes depends more upon
the character of the foreign sub
stances present, and upon the texture
and grain of the salt and the process
by which that grain is formed, than
it does upon the mere percentage Of
chloride of sodium in any given guam.

Getting Away From Oneself.

David Grayson writes an interview
with a drunkard in the American
Magazine. The drunkard explains
why he sometimes wants liquor, and
Mr.. Grayson tells how men who new
er touch liquor are sometimes lust
as much intoxicated.
The drunkard is speaking:
Every day | work, work, work.

wife. 1t seems as If a wall hemmed

He was talking eagerly now, try
ing to eXplain-for the first time in
his life. he said-how it was that he
did what he did
He told me how beautiful it made
the world. where before it was mis-
cradle and friendless, how he thought
OF great things and made great plans,
how his home seemed finer and bet
ter to him, and his work more noble.
The man had real gift of imagina-
tlon and spoke with an eagerness and
eloquence that stirred me deeply.
was almost on the point of asking
him where his magic liquor was to
be found! When he finally gave me
an opening, | said:
II think | understand. Many men

ards. They all want some way to es-
cape tEemselves-to be free of their
own limitations"
That's it! That's IT." he ex-
claimed, eagerly.
We sat for time side by side, say
ing nothing. | could not help think
ing OF that line of Virgil referring to
quite another sort of intoxication:
with voluntary dreams they cheat their

Instead of that beautiful unity of
thought and action which marks the
finest character, here was this poor
tragedy of the divided life. When
fate would destroy a man it first sep
arates his forces! 1t drives him to
think one way and act another it en-
courages him to seek through out
ward timulation-whether drink or
riches. or fame-a deceptive and un-
worthy satisfaction in place of that
true contentment which comes from
unity within. No man can be two
men successfully.
Most of us. said finally. "are in
