MACK SAYS DETROIT HAS
BEST TEAM he EVER SAW

Great pitchers" said Mack with
something like sneer What does
club like Detroit need OF great
pitchers. A team like jennings will
carry any ordinary pitcher along.
I sat on the bench over there last
week In sheer amazement at the
things Jennings. Cobb. Crawford. Nor.
iarty, Bush and Stanage brought on
I've seen some great ball teams In
my life. not forgetting the old Cleve-
lands. the old Orioles. and the old
Browns, but these modern-day Tigers
there's no such thing as estimating
them.

pitchers; scarcely needs a manager

YANKS LOSE GAME;
ROACH LOSES JOB

Wilbur Roach. the Yankees
recruit shortstop, lost out as q
regular because the Yanks were
defeated by the White Sox. al
though the defeat was no fault
OF Roach.
Had the Yankees won Roach
would still be holding down his
job at short. Manager Stallings
has wanted TO put Kid Foster
back at short, but like most
managers he would make no
change while the team was win
ming for fear OF breaking up the
winning streak. Roach has
been fielding brilliantly most OF
the time, but has been making
errors when misplays hurt.
