SAGINAW CLUB IS
5. MICH. FAVOR|TE
Man Who Has Seen the Bunch Play
Says It Will Waltz Away With
Pennant This Year.

That the Saginaw team will give
Southern Michigan fans a taste OF
Glass b league ball. is the prediction
made by man who is just back from
seeing them play several games
against the Central league clubs ut
Fort Wayne and South Bend.
The Saginaw club is better ag-
gregation than South Bend" says
this man who Is known as an astute
Judge Of a ball club. 1T Is just about
as good as the team which Jimmie
Casey has gotten together at Fort
Wayne, and Jimmie has Detroit
catcher and two or three Detroit
pitchers, too"
The Saginaw bunch is experienced
and fast Some OF them are terrific
hitters. Their pitchers look great
and all OF them know how to work
the corners-an unusual thing in Glass
c ball, and due largely to the coach
ing OF Manager KittNdge.
Kit has the reputation OF winning
every minor league pennant he has
ever gone after. He will surely do 1t
again in the South Michigan. AS he
has a share in the clubs profits, |
don't think he Is going to strain the
salary limit very badly. either"
The man quoted also brings back a
fine report OF Catcher Onslow, whom
Detroit lent TO Casey's club. He says
the youngster is very fast, a star
thrower, and is apparently a much
better batter than the Texas league
averages would lead one to believe.

W|LLETT WILL
PITCH FOR T|GEs
Tigers Sensational Right Handler
Will Go To Slab, With Mitchell
for Tomorrow.

CHICAGO, April 21.-In case the
threatening sky does not let down
rain, Edgar Willett, commonly &C
knowledged the sensation Of the De-
troit pitching staff, will take the slab
In today's game between the Sox and
the Tigers. He took a hard workout
before yesterdays game and seemed
TO have everything. In his only prior
game this year he shut the Sox out
In commanding style.
In all probability Duffy will send
out a left-hander TO oppose. His Sc
lection will undoubtedly be drawn
from Baker, White and Lange. The
first mentioned Is being touted as a
find. He set the Western league on
fire last year with his southpaw
speed
II is understood that Jennings Is
very likely TO close the series here
tomorrow by sending Mitchell, his Ne
braska left-hander TO the front.
The Tigers are greatly pleased over
Laftte's fine form OF yesterday and
local bugs are united I'm the belief
that the Tigers have an excellent
chance TO repeat their former Ameri-
can league triumphs.

NJ 'DREEN RETURNS
WITHOUT PLAYERS
Treasurer of Boston Club Anxious To
Get Surplus Tigers, But There's
No Chance.

Treasurer Hugh McBreen Of the
Boston Red Sox, left Detroit for his
home, Thursday night. He went back
without so much as a promise from
President Navin of the extra talent
on the Tiger roster which the Bos-
ton aggregation so urgently desires.
Boston has at present, A men on
its club, but lacks a good, servicable
catcher, and two infielders. The
team Is also In a bad way for pitch
ing strength and was badly shaken up
as the result of its long trans-coL-
tinental trip.
II is understood that Boston would
like Beckendorf, Ness, Lathers and
any of the colt pitchers, whom De-
troit can spare. The Red Sox will
have to get along without them.
Those that Detroit does not want,
will not be allowed to assist any
other bigleague club in its battle for
the pennant.
In this connection ii is noticeable
that President Main turned very sly
trick at the expense Of his brother
magnates. Not waiting until the ear
ly games OF the season should demon
strate his clubs strength, after April

Waivers are valid for 80 days. He
accordingly has almost two weeks yet
In which to make up his opinion.
Had Mr.. Navin waited until the
present time TO secure waivers, IL Is
certain that many of his men would
have been claimed by ribal clubs. Par
ticularly Is this the case with the
clubs young pitchers who seem to lie
developing into record crop.

D. A. c. FACING A
CRISIS N ITS
EXISTENCE
Most Famous of Middle Western
Athletic Clubs May Have
No Home After
July.
Lease on Present Property Expires
and Cannot Be Renewed; Annual
Meeting Called.

The Detroit Aathletic club which,
for 20 years has played so prominent
part In the recreational activities OF
this city, will cease To exist In its
present form, In July of this year
The expiration OF the longtime lease
which the club has held on the prop
erty on Woodward-ave.. between Gar
field and Canheld-aves., is the occa-
sion for this announcement.
Just what measures will be taken to
arrange for a successor TO the club
Is question which will be decided
at the annual meeting TO be held at
the clubhouse next Tuesday evening
at o'clock.
That Detroit is badly In need of an
up-to-date athletic club OF the char
acter OF ID. A. c., is generally admit
ted. IL Is even believed that a suffi-
cient sum could be raised by the sale
of memberships, 10 purchase 4 piece
OF centrally located property with an
athletic field included. Plans for such
an organization have been informally
discussed at various meetings. the
most recent one being the annual
banquet of the ID. A. c. basketball
team where Manager Hugh Jennings
Of the Detroit Baseball club advocated
such a movement. In proper manage
ment, such club would unquestion-
ably be a profitable enterprise, il IS
freely alleged.
Clubs Great History.
The Detroit Athletic club has a
great history-second to none in the
United States, in all probability. Its
members have set worlds records
and its teams have brought home
worlds championships. The trophies
and pictures which adorn the clubs
walls, testify TO the prominent part
the organization has played in sports.
During late years, however, the club
has been handicapped by its failure
to renew the lease under which the
property has been secured from the
Campau estate. Their was naturally
disinclination to expend money on
the clubhouse and grounds, when the
right to use the plant might at any
time be taken away. As result the
club has fallen of In membership and
interest has Jagged.
Many of the 200 members who still
remain faithful to the club, are men
OF means, however. They have for
some time considered the advisibility
OF establishing the ID. A. G. on foot
ing where IL would be secure from
Intervention by any landlord. An en-
| deavor was made some time ago TO
purchase the present site, the idea
being to erect a new clubhouse with
cafe. dormitory and other equipment,
aside from the purely athletic fea-
lures. This failed because OF the
enormous price asked for the real es.
tate.
Undoubtedly some OF the measures
now under deliberation by the mem
bers OF the club will be discussed at
the annual meeting.
Members Rely On Kelsey.

Gainor and Stanage got couple.
Everybody on the club except Davy
and Jimdel took poke at one and
landed. The Sox were bit nervous
with the big crowd looking on, and
the Tigers took chances on the sacks
and got away with them. Two double
plays by the Tiger infeld assisted
materially in keeping down the score
of the Sox.
