arsenal this morning with but few
teams that were leading three days
ago. All have gone but the Bonds oil

place in the five-men event. and are
liable to remain undfsturbed.
The Burroughs, of Detroit, have
rolled themselves into second place In
this event with 2,s76, going ahead OF

MANAGER HUGH|E
IN HIS ELEMENT
Has His Men on a Ball Yard Which
Presents No 0utfield Barrier To
Stop Fungo Hits.

MONROE. La, March 6.-These are,
indeed, great days for Hughie Jen-
nings, the Tigers Napoleon. For the
first time In his career with Detroit,
Hughie is able to take HIS place at
the plate and view an outfield into
which he can bat fungoes to his abso-
lutte limit, without a chance OF having
fence intercept the ball, thereby
affording a valid excuse for Hughes
felders to fail to catch II.
Murder! Police! What time the
newspaper men and others are having,
In their pursuit OF Hughes towering
drives! With such an opportunity as
the present. there Is no chance for a
man to set his back against fence
and thereby insure against Hughes
hitting the pill over him. All locations
are alike.
Plenty Of ROOM" yells the little
boss. Look out for your head! Here.
Come In and get a mask! What's
that? Did you catch It? / wasn't
looking!"
It's great fun for the little boss, and
it's almost as good for his fielders.
There's no trouble experienced In
catching simple flies that fall within
reach. But, when one catches up TO
one Of Hughes brand and hugs 1t to
his bosom. he has grabbed something
and there's the satisfaction OF a real
feat. BRUSKE.
