AMERICAN THE
FASTER LEAGUE
So Thinks Manager Hughie Jennings
of the Tigers; Suggs Case
Proves the Fast.

NEW ORLEANS, La, March 10
Manager Hughie Jennings OF the
Tigers believes that, generally consid-
cred, the American league is the bet
ter balanced and the stronger or the
two great baseball organizations
which annually close the season with
a hard-fought championship duel
Hughes opinion came to light dur
ing a recent conversation in which
Pitcher George Suggs was mentioned.
Suggs. IL will be recalled, showed
marked ability for Detroit, in the
American league, but could seldom
manage 10 pitch consistent ball
through the entire nine innings OF the
game. Detroit released him back TO
the minor leagues, and ne was again
brought TO the front Dy Cincinnati.
With the Reds he has developed into
a fairly successful winner OF more
than half of his games.
II have studied Suggs' apparent re-
versal Of form quite bit, unused the
Detroit boss. and I've come 10 the
conclusion that he would never have
been OF any real use 10 US. In the
first place, he needed lesson TO show
him hat he "Uuld have TO KEEP n
condition. lie eot it wheI we re-
leased him.
But the mere existence of An OBJ
ject lesson Is not enough to explain
It all. | believe that, when a pitcher
Is with a pretty fair club In the Ma
tional league, and the pitcher is even
fair article himself, he can rely on
winning a bunch Of games. The Ma
tional leagues second division is a
Joke. On the other hand. there is
only one club In the American league
that can be classed that way, and last
year was the first In which a single
joke club existed in the American
league" BRUSKE.

Last year the Tigers split into two

NEW ORLEANS, La. March To-
Detroit's two Ralphs-Works and

positions on the Detroit baseball
club.
The statement comes from no less
an individual than Hugh Ambrose

Jennings has been becoming more
and more enthusiastic over the Work
of his recruit pitchers. Every time
that -Covington appears, Hughie com
ments on the Evansville graduates

He smiles with appreciation over the
work OF Mitchell and Cavet, his left
handlers. He is predicting success
full season for Jack Lively and his
splitter And he is bearing daily IN
mind the fact that, before long, MS
team will be joined by Ed. Lantte
who must be judged on his record o.
last year, as the most promising
pitcher OF the lot.
Four Of the Eight Are Sure.
There are four pitchers who are.
OF course, assured OF their jobs. No
body is going to beat out Donovan,
Mullin, Willett and Summers-no not
this year. But the Tigers will carry
seven pitchers all year--eight for a
few weeks in the spring, until the
staff gets squared away.
What boys will be the selected ones
TO fill these four vacancies?
or course, there is every chance
that the experience OF Works and
Stroud, the former for two years and
the latter for one whole seasona>
member of the Tiger crew, will count
heavily in their favor, in case all
other considerations are equal.
Other considerations may not be
equal

thing Manager Hughie appreciates.
Detroit has had back luck with its
southpaws for the last two seasons.
Covington seems a sure thing. At

into that form which gave him last
year the record OF champion pitcher

GALESBURG DEPOT
Is FOURTH TO BURN
Burlington Roads Loss Yesterday
Afternoon Placed Near
$160,oOO.

Galesburg, Ill, April 2s.-The
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy rail-
road company sustained a loss of
about s15O,000 yesterday afternoon
in the destruction of the passenger
and office building here, making the
fourth depot burned on the Illinois
lines in the past few weeks. There
were several narrow escapes. The
fire originated in the loft, which was
full of old records and which caused
the fire to spread with such rapidity
that the escape of Jennie Leach and
Matte Phelan, telephone girl, by the
stairway was cut off. They were res
cued by a fireman who thrust them
out of a window, and they were car
ried down a ladder.
The train dispatchers worked to
the last moment to save valuable
records and escaped by ladders. The
building burned to the ground in a
very short time.
The Western Union cables were
burned and the company's tele-
phone system was destroyed. A spe-
cial train with Chicago officials ar
rived to consider plans for rebuild
ing.
