Before leaving here with the infants
on the present perambulatorpushing
excursion, Hughie Jennings settled
the status OF the Two members OF the
Jones family who draw stipends from
the management.
Thomas, last years first sacker and
the senior member of the pair-who,
by the way. trace back to no common
ancestor this side of Wales-will start
the year under n manifest handicap,
Tor Jennings DEGREES that he will have
TO take most OF MS work with the sec
ond team infield up TO the start OF the
season, unless an unexpected chain of
events puts a different face on the
present conditions.
David, who has divided the past hve
seasons between the outfield and the
bench. will start the year at the lett
garden. where he finished up In the
worlds series las fall, Matty Mcln'
tyre. with whom he has for so long dl-
yided the assignment, being assigned
TO the second team.

Big John Ness is pleasing JENNINGS
more every day. Recently Hugnie
told the Chicago German something
that rejoiced him greatly. Ness re-
ceived a dispatch from his old man
ager at Madison, Wis, in which the
nagnate urged Ness TO try TO get away
and return TO Madison. Ness, after
mature deiiberation, took the message
90 Jennings and asked what sort OF an
answer he should send.
Ness Hears Good News.
John replied Hughie, "Ill answer
that myself. You'll be playing ball la
Detroit long after the time your friend
up in Madison will have started MS
season"
The big German has his heart set on
making good. He belongs TO that type
of player who goes conscientousiy
about his work, says little off the feld,
shouts himself hoarse in game and
follows the instructions Of his leader
