LAST TRIAL TRIP
FOR DEL DRAKE
It's Up to the Findlsy Boy to Make
Good This Time or Detroit
Will Cut Him Loose.
BY PAUL HALE sRuskE.

MONROE, La, March Del Drake
is making what Manager Jennings
formally proclaims Is his last trial
trip with the Detroit Baseball club.
II Del comes south with the club for
the spring trip OF 1912. IL will be as
q seasoned regular or at least a sub
stitute who has held his position In
the Tiger outfield throughout the
season.
Del is making his fourth trip with
the team. He was a member OF the
party that trained at Hot Springs and
Little Rock in 1908. He trailed along
both years at San Antonio. Now he's
with US In Louisiana.
Its up to Drake to make good this
year or never" said Manager Hughie.
Il honestly believe he's got the bat
ting ability to make good. and we'll
have a better opening than before.
with Mcintyre gone. We've hung
onto Drake at big price in the ag-
gregate, for it's cost us large money
to get him back every fall, bidding for
his services In the open market, as
we were forced to do twice. A lot OF
other clubs seem to think they want
him; well, he'll get thorough trial
from US this year, after which We
will be ready either to keep him or
let him 60"

advantage this spring. on account OF
a strained groin which has kept him
from showing any of his boosted
speed. II Is hardly believed that the
injury Is permanent. IN the mean
time, however, Drake appears to be
getting a clear lead for the Job OF
extra outfielder-a position for which
his ability to hit right-handed also
seems to give him an added Qnalifica-
ton.

Criger was found at FIT. Wayne.
Ind. in 1897. by Patsy Teabeau. He
joined Cleveland and became Young's
backstop. In 1898 the Robisons, own
ing the Cleveland team, acquired the
st. Louis franchise, and the great bat
terry went to the Mound City. In 1910
Criger and Young jumped to the Dos
ton American league team, where
they remained until John |. Taylor
Jr., sold the backstop to st. Louis
and Young to Cleveland. st. Louis
sold Criger to New York last year.
Criger has a comfortable bank ac-
count. The chances are he will play
with q Class A club this season. He
would rather be back there stopping
them than spending his time at some
thing else where the remuneration is
less.
