them all. The marchers were given a
general ovation along the road, and they
declared that they had already won
enough recruits to the cause among the
farmers to repay them for their hard
ships.

Detroit, Dec. 1s-"There is no use try

fans that the Tigers will win the 1918

this morning." Nothing would please
me better than to come out with a rosy
prediction that We would be up among
the leaders all next season, but 1 could
not do so and be honest with myself
and the fans.
If the Tigers finish in fourth place l
shall consider that We have done well.
That may seem like a very modest am
bition. but any one who will size up the
situation honestly will have to admit
that it is about all we can hope for. 1t

club that has gone back and the ma
