PERNoLL AND DUBUC NEXT
BY RALPH L. YoNKER.


These days are critical ones for the
Tiger pitching recruits. Now that
Mccorry came through in great shape
IN the last half OF that 40 games
here yesterday, he is practically
slated for keeping for some time yet,
and It Is up to Pernoll today to come
through with the stun that will war
rant his being kept.
According to the plans of manager
Jennings, Dubuc will start today's
game and Pernoll will finish 1t. Du-
hue Is already solid, but Pernoll is
wabbly. It's up to him TO show sun
that he evidently had at Vicksburg
when he pitched two innings with
three strike-outs and no hits.
Ii will be only by the most meager
chance that Dubuc can fall from the
proud station he now holds. He is
the best looking prospect at present
funong the recruits and that is begin
|a1lfng to mean something now that
they are rounding into shape.
The announcement that Paddy Bas-
mann and Ralph Works are TO stay
over at Chattanooga for ten days
after the Tigers leave Along with
Donovan, Summers, Casey and
OI.eary. makes things look blue for
these men, Both are fearful that IL
means the tinware for them.
Paddy Baumann must OF necessity
be whirlwind to wi ma place with
the Tigers. Delehanty is going fine
49, .srn IF he pa
cruits on the left side OF the infield
would be more valuable man to
4 the Tigers for utility job than Pad
dv. Paddy says he won't stay at
kattanooga permanently. but as
tanooga Is a sort OF farm for the
rs. and as there are several jun
men there already, il is not at all
Improbable that he may be left in
tennessee.
As for Works, the opposition being
W.T. up by the new string OF pitchers
Is such that he will nave to show,
marked Improvement over the form
of the past week I'm order to stay. 1t
would suit Ralphie oil right IL he
should Ie let go from the Tigers, pro-
ri1e<l( could go to Boston. He says
6o would like to have hi mand
that he could work to bettsr
6tage there.
Joe Casey's prospects are not
heightened any, either, by this au-
MANAGEMENT. IL all depends upon
what Jack Onslow shows In the games
10 come whether he stays. Nobody
Is quite ready to pick either man
dehnitely for the remaining backs.Cp
position, and his being left at Chat
tanooga may be construed as meaning
that he Is considered good enough tn
be given more time to get into con-
ditiof. To get into condition, OF
co1rse. Is what IL means for the rest
~ the bunch. The Tigers leave for
Chattanooga tonight and play two
games there.
Nice curve, lots OF speed, lovely
change Of pace and good control, that
was what McCorry showed yesterday
IL the three innings he pitched. He
s made himself solid with Hughie for at
least try-out after the season opens.
The only hit or him was one through
the box, o swift drive.
McCorry's twisting delivery took
the eye OF the Chattanooga fans. He
hides the ball completely before
pitching by a complete swing when
There is none on. With a man on
|rst he uses q straight away move
that doesn't let the base runner
have foot OF advantage. With a
man on second he uses a half swing
that keeps the runner tight.
Witt didn't come through with those
usual hits Of HIS, except the one in the
seventh, when IL was needed to score
/ kocher, from third. Oscar actually
| tanned once. So did Ty, this being
. some abb. He accepted a couple OF
hard chances at short. however. with
out an error. He caught Green In the
4 eighth on what looked to be a hit, by
4 0retty peg.
Perry helped himself a little by get
/ {ink q double and a home-run I'm four
times up. He accepted two chances
Oh long flies In the sunfield, but
dropped another on the foul line that
re should have had. The ball struck
bis mitt and bounced away.
~ Cobb demonstrated conclusively,
Yesterday, that he isn't second base
san. Take that fifth inning. He ran
way around the bag and took fly
way from Delahanty only to nun II.
II was clearly. Dels ball, brt the peach
