Manager Jennings has strengthened
his pitching staff by purchasing Bill
Burns Of the Minneapolis club. De-
troit really owed Bill Burns a job. In
1909, the last of the Tigers fat years,
Burns pitched Jennings team into the
American league championship. Bill
was then member of the White
Sox club, and was sent to the mound
against the Athletics In the second
game of double-header. He beat the
Athletics in this game, and the defeat
cost Connie Mack the pennant.
Il expect Bill Burns to become one
OF the greatest left-handers the Ameri-
can league has known" declared Jen-
nings.
Burns has the baseball knowledge;
he has the strength, and he has the
experience. Everything is in his IA
vor, and I am confident that he will
be one of Detroit's most dependable
pitchers this season.
Burns has had a peculiar baseball
life First he was with Washington,
then with Chicago, then with Cincin-
natl, then with the Phillies. He had
varying success with each of these
teams.

Burns has peculiar disposition T
do not mean to say that he is eccan-.
trio or anything like that. But he
isn't a fellow to Jump every time the
inclination meets him. He thinks;
about things. Occurrences that would
upset the ordinary man do not disturb,
Burns
"That is the kind of pitcher we need:
many times. No matter what the situ.::
alton, Burns is steady. He is never
ratified, and he never loses his nerves.
He will stick as long as anyone, and
with him a game isn't over until the.
last man is out in the ninth inning. /
Burns was fine pitcher when he!
was in the American league before.
1t was seldom Detroit beat him. And?
Detroit had just as good hitting club
then as any manager would ask for
Yet our victories over Burns were al,
ways of the tasteless kind One run
usually separated thekwinner from the:
loser. And Burns-the loser-was:
pitching for an acknowledged weaker;
club.
Burns will be-. one of the regular;
pitchers. do not believe there is any;
Question on that pOint."

 That the surgeons thought long pe- riod of rest necessary. however, was shown when Colonel Roosevelt's secre- taries announced that he probably would make no more speeches this campaign. Preparations for his re movaI to Oyster Bay were sketched. and when the time comes for his jour ney everything will be prepared to make it as comfortable as possible.
