TIGER YOUNGSTERS MAY
MAY BECOME STAR BATTERY

Manager Hughie Jennings of the De-
troit team, who keeps a close watch
on the New York state league play
ers because many of them are from
the same section where he was born
and first played ball, said recently
that there are several very promising
players i'm the league and that he
from among them. pitchers Works and
Chalmers, catcher Beckendorf and CEN
ter fielder Drake.
This is what he has to say Of the
state league battery with the Tigers
Works and Beckendorf:
Becky will likely get his chance
this year; he didn't last year because
it was his first year in the big leagues
and Detroits other catchers were go
ing good. You can't work three catch
ers and have them go well. / be-
lieve that a catcher should work every
day to keep at his best We have
worked two regular in Detroit be-
cause one was strong i'm swatting
left-handers and the other was there
with the clout for right-handers.
Becky became a general favorite
with the boys last year and they
and myself have been working on
him to increase his batting ability.
If he can learn his swat lessons, he
is going to be a great catcher.
Works will be a wonder as a
pitcher some day. He's got great
nerve for a youngster. He pitches
just the same with Lajoie or Wag-
ner up as he would with lesser light
He has lots OF speed and good curves,
and he's bound to be a wonder some
day.
so, maybe some day the star bat
terry of tho country will be the
