Game today-Navy vs. Interior.
Not since the championship games be
tween Interstate Commerce Commission
and Treasury. in 1909, has there been
so much excitement at the games on
the White Lot as was yesterday. when
Commerce and Labor just barely nosed

hoodoos, the Agriculture boys Score,

Until the eighth 1t looked like an easy
victory for the Aggies, as they were
playing giit-edged ball, and were lead
looked like the Laborites didn't know
what a batting lamp was. as they
had garnered only FIVE hits off the Aggie
pitcher. But in the eighth there was
different story Eight Laborites faced
the Aggie pitcher. and every one of
them got Il hit. Sounds almost impos-
sible, but it is nevertheless true.
All three putouts were made on the
bases.
The approaching darkness ALMOST
proved fatal to the I.aborites. The
manager. thinking that If they
stayed at bat much longer 1T would be
too dark to allow the Aggics turn at
would have to be thrown out. instruct
ed his men to get out. They did after
they had obtained g. lead of two runs.
Two runs came very near not being
enough. In the Aggies turn up Doyle

latter was also out at the second cor
ner after being caught off first. Right
at this point 1t looked pretty soft
for the La borites. but the AggieS kept
on plugging. Venniman received a
pass and stole second and third. Peters
also walked and stole second This
put man on third and one on second,
with two gone. and hit needed to tie
up the proceedings. A hit was not
forthcoming. but something happened
which almost answered the same pur-
pose. Downey hit fast grounder at

that he could not get his man at first,

just catch the last one. Nenniman hav-

a couple OF tallies. He was at the

HUGH JENNINGS HAS UNIQUE
ADVANTAGE OVER RIVALS
While Others Are Forced to Use Their Vet
Grams, Tigers Can Experiment With
Recruits and Save "Big Fellows.''

DETROIT. May 5.-The significance OF
the Tiger lead right now does not rest IN
the actual number of games won and
lost. Later in the season teams have
had just such a lead-and they have not
won pennants. 4 FIVE or siX-game lead
is mighty nice, but it by no means spells
pennant.
The big advantage of lead such as
the Tigers have now is the fact that II
gives Manager Jennings unique advan-
tage over all his rivals-an advantage
no other manager has ever had. as far
as is known In base ball
It really means that with the lead he
now has Jennings can go on with what
is practically second spring training
trip. He can experiment where other
managers do not dare take any chances
Others Use Veterans.
Connie Mack is coming west using three
veteran pitchers over and over again, in
his efforts to win enough games to give
his individual players the courage ana
confidence necessary to make them into
winning combination
This is bad for a ball club, TO hnd
1t necessary at this early date 10 over
work veterans. Men like Plank and
bender nave seen 100 many year III
service to round into shape rapidly
at this stage of the season. 1t takes
months to get into real shape
And yet the manager cannot AFFORD
to use youngsters. because games
must be won. There is the attend
ance to think of. for one thing. and
there is the psychological effect on his
players in defeat for another thing.
He might have a great twirler hidden
away in his list of colt twirlers. He
sends him in once. twice, possibly
three times. The team is in the
dumps and doesn't support him. He
finds 1t almost impossible to get a
line on him. His following is clamor-
ing for victory, and his players are
downcast
Players Want Confidence.
He finds that he must work his regu-
