TIGERS TO PLAY
ROYALS DOUBLE
HEADER. SUNDAY
Finish Two-Game Series With
Rochester Team Here Today.
Johnny Kelly Takes Hugh
Jennings as His Model--De-
tr0it Leader Never "Calls'
Man for Failure of Good
Scheme.
WHILE the Tigers were enjoying


their day of rest. Secretary
Frank McTague was busy communi-
eating with the management of the
Montreal Club to play off a double-
healer here on Sunday. The Royals
have two postponed games to be de-
, cided here from the last trip. and one
of them will be doubled up with Sun,
days scheduled contest. George Boice
will probably pitch tomorrow and again
on Sunday.
The Royals and the Tigers have
played six games this year and each
have won three. Outside of Providence.
Montreal is the only team against
which the Tigers can boast an even
break on a series so far.
The game that will be decided with
Sundays contest is the one that was
postponed from the opening day of the
season due to rain. 1t will be remem-
bered that the lid-lifting of the local
Eastern League season was delayed
one day because of rain. and the sea
son was opened on Friday. April q.
The following day it rained again.
and hence there are two postponed
games to be played with the Royals.
but only one will be decided during
their present stop in this city. which
begins on Saturday.
Every ball player has his ideal as a
manager. and Jack Kelly. of the Tigers,
is no exception. Jack learned to know
the Detroit leader through his long as
ISOLATION with Hughey jennings when
the sorrel-topped barrister was man
ager of the Baltimore team. Kelly is
pulling hard all of the time for the De-
troit team to win, and whenever the
Detroit team is in New York he never
misses a visit to his former leader.
Much of Jennings's success is due TO
his own individuality says Kelly.
when the old team at Baltimore would
be in the midst of a slump Jennings
would hold a consultation every morn
ing, in which every player on the team
was expected to be present.
HE was always ready to listen TO
suggestions from everyone. and if a
man tried to pull off som heady piece
of work and failed to get away with IL
in a game he received just as much
credit as If he had been successful.
"As a result. he had the men on tn cir
tiptoes all the time, and everyone Of
them would have played their heads off
to win for him"
