Attention, purveyors of hickory
Jim Delahznty says that if his leg
Isn't IN good condition this summer,
he'll have TO get wooden one.
Delahanty dropped up from Cleye-
land (emphasixe the up from Cleye-
landl Into President Navin's ofiices,
wednesday noon to see the Tiger
boss. presumably TO fix up the 1912
contract. bnt was disappointed in find
ing Mr.. Navfn was still In the east.
ave been giving my injured leg a
GOOD rest this winter" said Delahan-
III. sand IL feels fast enough for an
infleld lob but I don't know where
.Jennines will want TO play me. 1t
bothered me since broke 1t several
years ago and the year before last
IL was an bunged up again, but with
this winters restI think will be In
tip-top shape when the season be-
gins.
sT'ye spent most OF the winter win
ninE remnants and losing them for the
Cleveland press and absolutely refuse
to win any more this winter. Sum-
,ner fags pay better but they're hard
er to cop.

and Cleveland are lighting 1t out for
second place. ! suppose by this time
EIeveland has II cinched.
Harry Davis will have nice mess
on HIS hands IL the Maps don't make
good from the Jump. II the awarding
OF the managers job had been left to
vote Of the fans. 95 per cent would
have been for Stovall SO you can
see what q howl there will be IL Davis
doesn't get away with the jump.
I'll be back Friday or Saturday to
see Mr.. Navin. Am mighty glad to
hear that Hughie Is getting along SO
nicely. Going TO beat IL back TO
Cleveland and keep the papers fed

Jury proposition for the Tiges, instead
Of against them this year, the Ath-

position where the Junglemen wers
last year. They may suffer from some
ones injury the way the Tigers did
from Gainor's.
The Athletics appear TO be the team
that has TO be beaten out Of first
place In the American league, all
. Fight, and going as they were last
year they seem to be almost unbeat-
able. But they have been fortunate
m the matter or injuries. They have
had them, but at times and places
when Il didn't seem to matter.
