Clarence Walker, the Spartanburg
outfielder purchased by the Washing
ton club a few days ago. may never be
seen in a local uniform. In fact, Man
ager Jennings of the Tigers is conf
dent that the youngster who is likened
to Cobb and Jackson will be cavort-
ing in the Detroit outfeld this fall
or next spring
Jennings contention is that the Spar
tanburg club had no right to sell
Walker to Washington because it had
previously soM an option of Walker to
the Buffalo club. Detroit has an agree
ment with Buffalo giving the Tigers
the pick of the team In the fall. and
Jennings is counting on Walker being
a member of that team by that time.
When Jennings reached here last
week and heard reports that Washing
ton was negotiating with Spartanburg
for Walker he Immediately wired
President Navin of the Detroit club
calling his attention to the proposed
deal In reply he received word from
Navin that the Spartanburg club had
given Buffalo an option on Walker
months ago, and that this option was
still in force, and would be exercised
at the proper time.
Walker is expected to report here in
about ten days. and not until then will
the case be taken to the national com
mission and effort made to stor
Walker from playing here. There seems tC
be no doubt as to the existence of the
option on Walker held by Buffalo, and
unless should be found irregular ir
some way there is little chance of Wash.
ington getting Walker.
Jennings has had his scouts looking
this youngster over, and he is pronounced
to have the making of a star.
Some time during the present month
there will be an influx of college pitchers
to the Detroit staff. Jennings has sew

that he will get couple of good pitch
