WEATHER 100000
GETTING WORSE
Jennings Tigers Have Played But
One Game in Last Five Dates,
Scheduled.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April 3.-Pos-
itively the worst stretch or weather
In the history OF Detroit's spring trips
has been that experienced since the
northern brand OF temperature and
atmosphere was encountered at Louis
vile. Yesterday, for the fourth time
I'm five days, the Tigers were forced
TO call OF their game.
There is grave doubt whether or not
the state of the grounds and air will
permit r contest today. III played at
all, II will be under great difficulties.
Rain, snow and cold have all com
bined to make the Tiger trip a mock
cry during the last week. But at no
time has there been anything like the
weather OF yesterday. The morning
was fairly bright, though cold. Tho
afternoon saw dark clouds and
thunderstorm, In which rain and snow
mingled as precipitation.
The Tigers are scheduled here for
today and tomorrow. after which they
move on TO Columbus. 1t Is under
stood that Mullin will be one OF the
next box selections, though II Is hard
ly possible that, In view or the con.
tlnued cold, George will go through
with his announced program OF pitch
ing the entire nine innings.
News that Willett had bad inning
yesterday ar Lincoln was accepted
here as pretty strong evidence that
Mullin will be relied on to pitch the
opening game, unless he too shows
signs of unreliability.
The continued lay-off Is welcomed
BY but one member of the Tiger en-
tourage-Donie Bush. The midget
shortstopper is right at home and is
being made sort OF local lion. He Is
getting all the telephone calls that
have formerly been coming to Ty
Cobb. while the club was in Ty's home
country, south OF the Mason-Dixon

LINCOLN, Neb., April Bad base
ball ON the part of the Tigerettes In
the first inning Of yesterdays game
at a time when Lincoln was swatting
the ball, resulted in five tallies for
the latter and gave the locals such
lead that II was impossible for the
Detroiters TO catch up. The Western
league team made home run, double,
single and two sacrifice hits in the
first. Final score, 8 TO l.
Only through wild throw in the
second, following a mix-up on the
count against the batter, did Dono-
vans boys obtain the necessary talley
that saved them from shut-out- In
the sixth, the local team broke loose
again with one OF its hitting streaks,
scoring three more runs.
Willett opened for Detroit and aside
from the trst, pitched good ball. He
was relieved by Smith at the begin
ming OF the fourth. One bad inning
for Smith gave the Unglaub outfit ad-
ditional runs
The fielding features were rafting
catch by Schaller. which made posi-
Bile a double play and two fine stops
by Lathers.

II may seem strange TO the fans

Systematically on this task, he made

INDIANAPOLIS, April 3.-Jim Del
ahanty says that any ball player who
accepts fine OF 5000, and works 1t
out, ought TO have his head examin-
ed. his declaration followed the dis
patch from Nashville which told how
Manager Chance OF the Cubs had I'm
ed Zimmerman and Richie each 5000
for staying out all night and report
ing, showing signs of wear the next
morning.
"Six-hundred dollars is too much
money says Jim. The absolute linn
II ought to be 800. Beyond that any
ball player should refuse to pay, and
should carry his case to the civil
courts. My brother, Frank, was fined
heavily by the Cleveland club. He
consulted a lawyer who told him that
his contract gave his club no right
to fine him or even farm him. He in
sisted that Frank sue for the money
and collect pay until given his release.
Frank did so and the Cleveland club.
RECENTLY settled the case out OF court.
Hughie Jennings took issue with
Delahanty regarding the justice of the
Zimmerman fine. He called attention
to Zimmerman's bad record and the
fact that, not satisfied TO dissipate
alone, Zimmerman insists on taking
another player with him each time.
Hughie believes that Chance did the
proper thing and commends his
stand.

GERMANY HAS NEW
SPLINTER WHO
IS A MARVEL
Regarded as Sure Winner of the
Short Distance Events at
Coming 0lympics
Games.
R. Rau the Man and He Made Two
94-5 Swedes Take His Dust in
Berlin Race.

NEW YORK, APRIL 3.-For the
first time in the history of track and
field sports, Germany has produced
a first-class Splinter, and this man,
who Is little more than beginner,
Is likely TO prove a stumbling block
TO the visitors at the Swedish Olym-
pic games next year. The name OF
the flyer is r. Rau, and In competi-
ton he sports the purple and gold
of the Berliner Sport club OF the Ger
man capital. Quite recently in the
indoor Olympic games at Berlin, Rau
gave a fine display of sprinting PROV
ess and something which means that
the visitors from America, England
and other countries will have TO look
10 their laurels at Stockholm next
year. The German covered the 80
meters in 5 7-10 seconds, figures
which, If closely calculated, compare
with the best on the record books
OF any country in the world today.
Estimated, according TO the English
statute measurement, the distance Is
81 yards and two feet, SO that on q
rough calculation the Splinter was
covering So yards, that is allowing
for a little loss of ground at the start
The time was shade worse than
So seconds, and>it is worth remem-
bering that American sprint records
for and around. the half century dis
lance do not show any better figures
than those accomplished by the Ger
man For the so meters there is no
American mark on the books, but
there is a record of 5 2-5 seconds for
so yards, done at different times by
different men. The record for 81
yards is 3-5 seconds on the Yankee
record list, and the marks made BY
Rau is anywhere from three TO four
yards better than this.
This coming season will be the third
one on the part for Rau. In the
course of last year he hung up some
creditable performances, one being OF
special interest at the international
meeting at Stockholm. Word had got
noised around the north OF Europe
that the Germans had real tiptop-
per- Of a sprinter and the Swedes.
who are getting pretty cocky about
their running OF late, made fun OF the
reports about the young German. The
banter somehow or other reached
Berlin and il riled Rau so much that
he Immediately sent his entry for the
Stockholm bettor, for they wanted a
chance TO show up the German and
incidentally to display all they had
of late learned about the secrets Of
sprinting Rau was opposed by the
faster OF the Lndholm brothers, Eek
berg and Beijborn. the great Swedish
