DETROIT PLAYERS SAY
COBB'S BROTHER IS STAR
Tigers Here for Series of Four Games -Gessler ant
Lelivelt Hitting Ball Hard for Nationals.

Washington fans will catch their first
glimpse Of the Western teams at the
ball park this afternoon when the
Nationals open a series Of four games
against Jennings Detroit Tigers, the
present leaders of the American League.
With Ty Cobb and Sam Crawford this
team is easily the biggest drawing card
in the circuit. The Detroits are playing
grand ball right now. After obtaining a
flying start they are SO far ahead of
the other teams that only the worst kind
of a slump will pull them down.
Jennings has number Of youngsters
with him whom local fans have not seen,
One Of them. Pitcher Lafitte, will likely
work in the game this afternoon, while
Covington, his other recruit finger. Is
sure to perform before the Tigers leave
the Capital
The Detroit club reached town yester-
day noon and are stopping at the Ebbitt
House. The entire squad witnessed the
Nationals-Yankee game and seemed to
enjoy their day OF.
Manager Jennings Is not boasting Of
winning pennants this year, but he be-
lieves his team will make the Athletics
fight q Whole lot harder than was the
case last season. Other American League
managers are Of the same opinion.
II WILL be Dixie Walker IN the box for
the Nationals to-day. Tho big fellow
beat the Tigers the first game Of the
series IN Detroit. and Manager Jim Is
looking for him to repeat.

learn that Ty Cobb's brother Paul was

championship Of the District. The game
will be played on Georgetown Field. and
Umpire Hughes will call the contest
promptly at $3.50 o'clock
1t is hard to pick a winner OF this
important game, as both teams have
different style of play. The Manual
trainers are hustling and aggressive all
the time. while the Red and White team
depends too much on their great little
twirler, Holden. Western is one Of the
gamest teams in the high schools, as
proven by their ninth-inning rallies in
more than one game They took the lead
from Eastern after being held hitless
for eight innings Monday by Johnny
Ligon and nearly won the game. but
Eastern came back strong and gave
Technical a life for the title.
Western is the better coached team,
but the Machinists are all natural ball
players. and It will take some fast,
snappy playing to keep them from get
ting within counting distance.

Of the Nationals next year. They have
all seen the youngster in action and
speak highly Of his ability.
Pitcher Willetts, whose home is in
Lincoln. Nebr.. says that Ty's brother
has the makings Of a major Lacquer. and
tells an interesting story of a game
played in Lincoln on the spring trip.
Willetts was sent in to pitch for the
Tigers when the Lincoln club was play
ed, just to show the home folks what
he could do. He only lasted a couple
OF innings, for the Lincoln team knocked
him all over the lot, and Cobb's brother
came across with a home run.
Jim Delehanty. the old Washington
second baseman, said he hoped the local
newspapers would not boost Paul Cobb
to the skies, for, he added. that every
body will expect him to live up to his
newspaper reputation. and II he should
happen to make a poor start he would
get II In the neck from all sides"
The fans will expect him to live up
to his brothers standard, and because
he falls Short" added Del. "he will not
get a chance to do himself Justice"
The batting Of Lelivelt and GessIer Is
certainly cause for much rejoicing here
abouts. Gessler is hitting the ball harder
end more often right now than at any
time since he has Joined the club.
Wild Conroy also deserves something
more than passing mention, for since the
club has been back in the Capital he has
been the most consistent hitter. and. In
addition. is putting UP a beautiful game
at third base.
