Some team better stop those Tigers or
their lead will be such as to give them
almost a cinch on the flag. Six games
have been played by Jennings team and
they have Won them all, and that with
comparative ease. What makes the for
mer champions look dangerous is the fact
that Jennings young pitchers are de-
livering. Lively and Lefitte have won
their games. while Mulin and Willetts
are showing grand form. team like
Jennings does not require all airtfght
slab work. Its hitting strength is so great
that 1t is sure to score lot of runs, and
this takes much of the burden off of the
pitchers. OF course, it would not take
much of slump to bring the Tigers back
within hailing distance of the other
teams. for siX-game lead is easily
enough overcome at this stage of the
race. But the team shows no signs of
stopping, and is improving with every
game so that it's chances for getting agood
lead while it is playing the other weak
western teams are decidedly bright. What
an advantage this lead, together with the
schedule which keeps Detroit at home for
the next month so, gives Jennings
over the Athletics, who not only have
been playing poorly, but are down for
long siege of games on foreign grounds.
This has been a rather discouragins
spring for big Ed Walsh. the White Sox
star slabman. Twice he has been beaten
by the Tigers. and there was nothing
flukey about the victories Walsh's de-
livery has been pounded numerically
hard by the former champions. and the
question is naturally being asked If the
| once great pitcher has reached the down
grade of his career: Unless Walsh takes
a brace all the predictions that the White
| Sox would be factors in the present race
must be withdrawn, for without the big
| pitcher the Chicago team does not stand
much of a chance
| 1t may be that the spit ball on which
Walsh has relied for his effectiveness has
| finally told on his arm Players argue
| that this delivery will shorten the career
! of any pitcher, and many of them have
abandoned the mOistened sphere on this
account. Among these is Tom Hughes
| Hughes used the spit ball good dea

Peasley Is So Considered by Those

Marvin Peasley, the Maine giant, who
will try to make good on Jennings pitch
ing staff this year, comes from the same
part of Maine that Jack Coombs calls his
home. But they say that Peasley should
do better than Coombs, whom Doc ;

1911. This paragraph regarding Marvin
appears in the home paper:

AL Kubiak, the Michigan giant, in the
ninth round of the ten-round contest for
which they met at the National Sporting
Club last night.
Kubiak had an advantage of nearly
twenty pounds in weight, which gave him
a temporary lead in the first two rounds
but he tired quickly after that and Jean
cite had the fight all his own way. He
wore Kubiak down by pounding his face
with left jabs. while he punished his body
with heavy right uppercuts.
In the ninth, after one minute of fight
ing Jeanette rushed in with a volley OF
hard rights and lefts to the head and
face. and knocked the Michigan white
hope on his back. kubiak tried hard to
rise, but fell back at the end of the
count.

Players Are Confident.
All of the Washington players are
more confident of victory than they were
accustomed to be in the past. They are
sanguine that they have a team which, if
not a championship organization. at least
is dangerous enough to make the other
teams of the American League play ball,
and whenever the other teams fail to

they can go through and win.

gave him an unmerciful beating. Morris
is undoubtedly a wonderful man physi-

good policy in his case to hold HIM back
for while, not allowing him to meet
any tough propositions. His next fight is
scheduled for July 4, when he is to meet
Albert Palzer. Tom O'Rourke's protege,
Ever since last fall columns have been
written about Connie Mack's wonderful
pitching staff. No one could see how
Krause could be beaten, but Connie Mack
evidently is not SO sure of the PROV
ess of his twirlers, for he has refused to
waive on Arrellanes and Hunt, two
young pitchers Boston is trying to send
back to the minors Where Mack was
believed to be best fortified he IS ny no
means satisfied now. But the games the
Athletics have lost have with one or two
exceptions been the result of a lack of
hitting on the part of the champions, who
not scoring very many runs these
days.
One policy that Jim McAleer has adopt
ed this year which will meet with gen.
eral favor is that he will not carry any
dead wood. Players who cannot deliver
will not be kept on the Pay roll. In this
respect the local club has suffered much.
Many ball players have been carried
along and paid good salaries whose days
of usefulness had long since passed
Being a weak team. it was always hoped
that one of these days these players
would be rejuvenate6 and be of help to
the team. There are but very few in
stances where this has come to pass, but
by retaining them some young capable
player has perhaps been prevented from
showing his worth and making the team
stronger.
McAleer has already cut his team down
to almost the minimum, but just as soon
as he has convinced himself that he still
retains players who are of no service to
the team he will WELD the AK again.
That an up-to-date base ball plant will
have almost as good an effect on the bust
ness end Of base ball as a winning team
is proven by the attendance the local club
has enjoyed in the five games it has play
! ed here. With one exception the crowds
have been SO large that they have filled
the old stands to overlooking. The fact
that the patrons of the game recognize
| that they can go to the park at any time
and be assured of a seat is of the greatest
value to the club. This condition will inn
prove when the plant is completed, for
Washington will then have one of the
best ball parks in the country.
