The team that beats The Tigers
in 1871 will win the American
leagd. pennant. Just sort o. let
that soak in, for IL is true as
Gospel.
II Detroit gets one good. reliable.
twice-a.Week pitcher out OF the crop

veloped and il O. II. Stanage catches
Tho ball of which ne is capable, the

personal s0-Calicd pride" above team
welfare sill have ample opportunity
OF thinking during the cold winter
months OF how much coal 1000
