Remneas has the material in him
for q great pitcher physically. He is
q big strapping fellow, young, brainy,
energetic, confident. But he doesn't
know major league baseball II Is
baseball that Hughie wants to teach
him, and II is probable that he will
be kept with the Tigers all season for
the purpose OF schooling.
Ii looks as IL most of Remneas
duties will be to fill in games where
other pitchers have left off. He may
jget a chance to do some spectacular
work in winning lost games in that
way.

feel the loss OF Westerzil, the little
Iinfielder, and McCorry, the little
pitcher. when they depart for their
new homes. Westerzil has been sent
Ito indianapolis, but with such stout
strings to him that he can be hauled
back here when needed. This is well,
for another injury like that of Del's
land he might be needed at once.
1t is not because Westerzil Is poor
but because Witt and Louden are SO
good, that Tex" goes to Indianapolis.
lWesterziis praises have been sung
before. He is great little player
and he'll be a sensation in the minors
so some OF the wise ones will miss
their guess.

McCorry's size made him look doubt
