The Detroit public, the management
h the Detroit Baseball club and the
Mayors thereof will all be equally
Verjoyed when Manager Jennings
las had an opportunity TO look over
klI OF his young pitchers and make
1Is seasons selection. When this
Iivent has occurred and the twirlers
'fet settled down into the regular
irving of their work, the team will
|o1a6 even better ball than il does
Ifeht now and there will be fewer OF
,Ihose ninth-inning let-downs such as

Ind Lively gave at our own ball yard
Iesterday afternoon.
d Detroit is right now suffering from
n plague OF too many good pitchers
rs q complaint that is positively
unique in the annals of local baseball
M fact, it's an affliction which many
b<her clubs in the league would vel
come with becoming avidity.
The Tiger pitchers don't have
.rnough chance TO work. Their ap-
.bearances are averaging about nine
6aSs apart. This doesn't permit OF
i1nDugh toll to keep twirler in trim.
There was nothing in the world the
matter with Willett at Chicago but a
lack OF work. The same was the case
With Lively yesterday. Jacks splitter
was erratic and broke as IL should
only part OF the time. AS result, the
Browns either struck out or hit the
ball hard, for there is no ball that is
EASIER to hit than a splitter which
<1oesn't break.

the Chicago Pfeffer, at one time one
of the Cubs most talented fingers,
and is said to, be even better than
his predecessor of that name.
There is no denying the fact that
Tho Tiges are sick OF the southpaw
diet. Their latest affliction was one
Hamilton who has heretofore perform
ed in the wolds of western Missouri.
Mr.. Hamilton appeared with
q red-sleeved undershirt and had a

An unsafe and insane cerebration OF
July 4. He had fair speed, medium
control and a very nice curve bayy.
He held Detroit to four hits, OF which
three counted in. the scoring OF the
Tikers' seven runs. Represensible
work by his mates was all that saved
the Tigers. However, the men OF
Jennings helped themselves nightly
with the hits they did get, Cobb's
