Jennings Important Move.

First-class catchers are still
the scarcest commodity in the
baseball market.
No major league championship
club in recent years has had as
much trouble in getting a first
class man behind the bat as De-
troit According 10 dispatches
from the South Manager Jen-
nings has determined to make
Eeckepdorf. who has had little
major league experience. his reg
ular backstop for this season. In
1908 Schmidt was the Tigers
regular catcher. but last season
Jennings decided TO utilize Stan
age more. and the latter was in
nearly all OF Detroit's games
during the closing half OF the
race. One of Jennings miscues
and all managers make them
was the letting sc OF Archer. who
turned out to be a star for the
Chicago Cubs.
During the two years that the
Athletics won the pennant. Man
ager Mack had Powers and
Schreck. Boston had a star be-
hind the bat in its pennant-win-
ming days in Lou Criger, and the
Chicago Americans also were
well fixed with Billy Sullivan.
When the Giants twice clinehed
the National bunting they had
Bresnahan. while King was with
the Chicago Cubs when they
were annexing the National
League bunting.
Detroit alone OF all the pen
nant winners during the present
century has been handicapped by
not having an A No. ! man TO
handle the deliveries of the
pitchers. with the Tigers II
has been a case of winning de-
spite this handicap.

Norfolk, Va, March 22.-There was but
little play for the Nationals to-day, and
when McAleer called them OF the field
late this afternoon. every man OF them
felt as if he had done days work. The
day for temperature might have been
picked out OF June, and the men had no
trouble in limbering UP to their work.
They worked harder and longer than
they have yet done. and McAleer said at
the conclusion of the afternoons prac-
tice that the day was the most satisfac-
tory that the team has had here.
Two members of the team. Dixie Walk
er and Hardy. were put out Of commits
sion to-day. but 1t is expected that both
men will soon be back in the game.
Walker turned an ankle at first base.
which he went to cover as Crooks ran in
TO field a hunted ball. and Hardy was
struck IN the abdomen by a ball pitched
TO a batter by Groom. Hardy was look
ing for a ball that had been feuled. but
Groom did not see that, and pitched in
another ball. Hardy was hit hard. and
dropped In his tracks. Both Walker and
Hardy had to be carried from the field.
Walker Not Badly Hurt.
It was first thought that Walker would
be kept from practice for perhaps two
weeks, but Trainer Quirk has examined
him carefully, and thinks that no will be
all right within a few days. Hardy suf-
fered much pain. but he viii doubtless
he all RIGHT agaFn So-u4orrovy
'Gabby'' Street who has been inactive
for some time on account OF a sore
ankle, was in harness again to-day. He
practiced catching, and threw the bases
in great form. Street is doubtless as
nearly In condition as any member of
the team.
Red Kiliifer too. has about recovered
the use of his sore ankle. and was out
again to-day. although his activities were
confined mostly to batting practice. Nc
Aleer is giving the team much practice
at bunt hitting. and some OF the men
are showing marked Improvement in the
use of the stick for that purpose.
To-day was a good one for the pitchers,
and they took advantage OF H. Every
twirler in the squad was given a chance
in the box. and they cut loose at top
speed. Not only has McAleer decided
that he will not play the Norfolk team
an exhibition game tomorrow. but he
will play no more here. save one other
which was scheduled with Norfolk for
next Saturday afternoon. The manager
is confident that better results can be
obtained by putting the team through the
regular routine OF practice.
Elberfeld demonstrated to-day that It
will not take much practice 10 put him
in form. He worked in gingery fashion.
and appeared 10 be quite himself. Me-
Alee- had both the Kid and conroy in
the third base territory.
