the club and who does not display interest
in the team and obey every command
Will find no place on the Washington
team. This is McA,eer's edict. and George
Browne was the first TO fall under this
rules
Browne played listless ball in Cleve-
land. and for this reason was not used In
the orening game here. 1t seems THAT
he did not take kindly TO being removed
from the game and gave vent 10 his
protests on the bench during Mondays
came while McAleer was on the coaching
lines.
Rut McAleer heard OF IT, and there and
then decided that Browne was not the kind
of player he wanted to pay a salary to.
Browne was ordered home at once. Walv-
ers will be asked on him. and he VII! be
sold to some minor league club unless
one of the other American League clubs
refuses to waive, which is not likely
The sending home of Browne has had
beneficial effect on the team 10 besl!i
with, the players almost to man re-
scented BroWne's attitude toward McAieer
and the team, and McAIeer's nrm stand
has sounded a warming to any one SINH
larry inclined
I'VE are going 70 have ball players who
work for the interest of the team. Or
none at ALL" remarked McAleer in speak

Before the end of the present season
Manager McAleer expects to have new
man for every position on the team he
does not feel that it will be necessary 70
supplant every one of the players VINO
are now wearing Washington uniform.
but there are but three or four players
on the team whose work is satisfactory
and even for these he proposes to take
no chances and VIII look at some one 20

1T is very evident to me, and 1t must
be TO every one else who has watched
our playing, that we need some new
faces. and we'll have them" said he to-

league clubs: they need every bit OF.

YOU what they consider useless for their
own use. Our policy will DE to get new
material. Every ball player that l hear
a good word spoken about l shall have
looked over. and if he shows anything at
all I shall get him. 1t is our only nope
to build up q team, and l believe that We
will have the support Of OUT patrons in
our efforts / am not overlooking sin

The moment 1 hear of promising player

thing as a result, and We need 1t.
The pace the Tigers are now setting is
the fastest in their career. Jennings
players are ambitious to regain the iead
and they are playing a really wonderful
game of ball. Every man is alert. and
they are running bases and fielding better
than ever before. The New York series
here will be most Important II me
Tigers can beat the Hishlanders. as Jen-
nings is confident they will, Detroit will
be in first place before the eastern teams
leave the west and he does not believe
they Will be headed thereafter.
Groom is slated to pitch today and
johnson tomorrow. Detroit fans have
high opinion OF johnson because OF the
man. complimentary things members OF
the Detroit team have said Of his pitch

pass the stand to be pointed out by most
every one.

Doc Reisling pitched a splendid game
OF ball against the Tigers yesterday, but
he was responsible for the fact that the
champions got three runs in the fourth
inning. He started By walking Bush. who
stole, and when Cobb hit to him he
hesitated about throwing to third to get
Bush, and when he finally threw there il
was too late. That started all the trou-

Erounder was handled clean enough by
Conroy, but in trying to throw Delehanty
out at the plate he got hold on the
1no!steped part. of the ball resulting from
Reisiing using the splitter, and his throw
home was wild. Though Delehanty did not
score he returned to third, from where he
scored on Tom Jones squeeze play
Eeisiing was not hit hard at any stage
In fact, he was most effective, but there
