HUGH JENNINGS
LIKES RECRUITS
DETROIT MANAGER CONFIDENT
THAT HIS TEAM WILL BE
STRONGER IN THE
1912 RACE.

Monroe, La, March S.-"The best
appearing bunch of recruits | have
ever had" was the comment of Man
ager Hugh Jennings after watching
the Youngsters perform yesterday at
ternoon.
with a single exception, Maurer,
the Detroit pitcher, there isn't a play
err In training here who has not won
his spurs in the minor leagues" con-
tinued the Tiger leader. They are
an intelligent lot of players. / cen see
that at a glance and | certainly Will
be much disappointed II do not get a
few regulars from them.
II do not care to single out any
players for commendation or COM
ment. they all look good now. This
gathering is in marked contrast to the
youngsters in camp last spring. There
were three or four recruits with MS in
1911 who were not even good minor
league players. IL was impossible tor
them to develop TO our class. with
these players II is different We
should get some exceptionally good
men, and am looking for some of the
young pitchers to hold on. Maurer has
a nice delivery and he is willing TO
learn. That is all / can say of him
now"
Manager Hughe Jennings will not be
able to coach after the fashion that
has made him famous when the AM
erican league seasons opens next
month. unless something akin To a
miracle happens. &f
Five months have passed since
Jennings was injured y i'm an auto
smashup and he still is crippled. lie
can't twist his wrist enough to get
his fingers TO his lips. to whistle and
he will have trouble picking grass.
lie can't kick and prance. for one
leg is so weak he has to nurse II
carefully.
If Jennings has not been able to re-
cover more than this in five months
there is not much chance that he will
in four weeks more. There is II fear
that his injuries may be permanent.

SPORTING DEPARTMENT
YouNosTER PEEvEo WHEN
SENT TO MAJOR LEAGUE


Did you ever hear Of a young ball
player who actually was sorry that a
big league club wanted him? Most
youngsters experience the happies;
moment of their existence when they
hear the ldings that they are being
sought by n major league club and
when the dead for their services Is
concluded nothing can contain their
JOY But such Is not the ease with Ro-
land Burrows, the White Six outfielder
from Lowell, Mass.
According to reports from down
east Roland figuratively tore his hair
CRASHED his teeth and pulled other
Desperate Desmond stuff when ne
learned that none other than Charles
Comiskey, proprietor Of the renowned
Chicago American league club, was
after him and had made arrange
rents for giving him a try-out in the
garden made famous by Jimmy Cal
lahan, Ping Bode and other famous
fly chasers.
But there was method in Rolands
lidulleSS, SdSS Ahc uoWh VhoN iht'i ~
ant Roland was captain of the
Lowell team last year. and under his
able leadership that gang grabbed
the New England league gonfalon
Naturally the town folks showered
compliments on the dashlng young
captain, and these attentions made
him resolve TO try to stick with the
I.owells. Said resolve was also due
in some trifling measure TO the fact
that Burrows has "a lucrative business
In Gorham, Maine. So Roland would
rather stick with the Lowell pennant
winners and his commercial interests
in Gorham than to seek lame and for
tune in big league yards even If the
Sox want him.
