JENNING S STANDS
ALONE AS COACH
Of AN |NF|ElD
The One American League Manager
Who Won His Spurs at the Posi-
ton, He Demonstrates It's
Handy Asset.
Recognizes Infeld Worth at Glance
as Note His Appreciation of
Detroit's Chick Lathers.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas. March IS
II is noticeable fact that. regardless
OF the attention which he finds il
necessary to give from time 10 time
10 the other departments OF the train
ing Of the Tigers. Hughie Jennings
finds the most congenial work the
coaching of his two infields In fact
1t is doubtful II there is a manager in
the American league who is capable
OF giving his men such valuable in
struction along this line as Jennings.
Himself one OF the greatest infielders
who ever lived. Hughie recognizes
faults and virtues with an infallible
eye. More than anything else he loves
10 bat grounders 10 his men and see
them pull OF fast plays.
Whenever the squad splits. the
regular infield is always with the
team which Jennings commands in
person. And, come TO think this isn't
all so very remarkable when one faces
the fact that Hughie is now the only
American league manager who won
his spurs on the infeld, mis- rival man
ayers being all former catchers or out
feeders.
An Asset He Made Count.
In all probability Hughes unique
distinction is a fortunate fact for the
Detroit baseball club. II was his abi-
ity as an inheld coach which permit
ted him last year 10 draw accurately
the conclusion that the Tiger inner
works were on the verge OF dissolu-
ton and IL was that same ability
which enabled him TO select from
other clubs the men who could fill the
places of Rossman and Schaefer, the
introduction OF Tom Jones and Jim
Delehanty being undoubtedly the one
possible measure which saved the
pennant for Detroit.
Reconstruction OF an infield in the
heat OF the pennant race. and getting
away with il. is some feat. as We were
all forced 10 admit at the time. Is
there another American league man
ager who could have done II?
II is a pleasant sight these days to
see Jennings sizing up the young in
fielders who will unquestionably be
drawn on 10 some extent in the bat
tie which the Tigers will fight in their
campaign OF 1910 and even farther in
10 the future OF the youngsters
Hughes undoubted favorite in the
fielding drill is Chick Lathers.
Huqhie Likes Chick.
He's the only young player who
ever made me think OF Bill Bradley
said Hughie recently. The way he
plays a ground ball is simply dupli-
cate OF Bill when he was at his best.
He gets in front OF balls that most
men would play at their side and the
result is that he always comes up in
position 10 throw. And how he can
get rid OF that ball. One year on the
bench and helping out when we need
II. will find Chick. firmly believe, in
a position 10 get right into regular
job. Just what that job will be can't
say but it's hard TO see how any In
field in the world can AFFORD to keep
a man like him on the bench, II he
makes good the promise he is showing
us now"
