from general appearances one
gathers the impression sthat there

Detroit last year who viii not be

working In Detroit uniform.
This figure II Includes the veterans
as well az the youngsters. Jennings
Will give them all ehanee. Hut the

hard tas the youngsters Ii they care
to hold the Jobs they held last year.

Good Words for savidge.
DIR. James Casey met Hughey Jen-
nings recently and discussed the abil-

a washwoman could dry a weeks

this slow ball IL as good as that own

The Great Question.
| Detroit fans are forgetting the trou-
bles of James J. Jefrries. whether
the alfalfa king can come hack Is OF
| little interest here. The big ques-
ton is Can Bill Donovan come
back" The fans want to know.
Bill Is optimistic. az usual. Ifll al

him intimately believe that the trou-
BILE he had with his arm Is the only
thing that ever worried him In the
/ least.

The Tiger leader has what he thinks

In Chicago there Is man, Harley
Parker by name. who was formerly
rather prominent in Chicago's big
league circles. In recent years he
has devoted his attention to assisting
ball players who are In trouble.
