Lake county builds a new city every
ten years. Whenever group of men
have little surplus energy they want
to work off they build new city. or if
they don't want the job to last too long
they build a suburb to some city that
has already been built.
The first clean-cut piece of munich

in Lake county was the city of Indiana

started Hammond was a town of con-
siderable size, Whiting was quite a

CLEVELAND. Ohio, June 19.-While
Harry Davis, the Maps manager, gives

TIGERS HAVE GONE THE WAY
OF ALL CHAMPION TEAMS
Detroit GLIB Reaching Last Stage Of Dete-
rioration - Entirely New Organiza-

Present Spirit CrushedOut

DETROIT. Mich. June 19.-The Detroit
bali club is the shattered remains OF a
championship machine. 1t has reached
its last stage Of deterioration. To re-
construct it is the work that lies before
Hughie Jennings and Frank J. Navin.
Detroit's Tigers have gone the way that
all championship clubs go. 1t Is a repe-
tition OF the Boston team, the New York
team, the old Philadelphia team and the
Chicago Cubs Of more recent years.
They grow. they develop. they become
supreme. then start down on the other
side of the ladder. It is the rule OF the
game.
At present the Detroit team is playing
poor ball There Is no aggressiveness,
little effort and no team work. The men,
bers Of the Detroit team are out, each
man for himself. playing individual ball
and making q weak showing in that way.
One Of the chief troubles with the Detroit
ball club is that some members have too
many dollars and others too many debts.
Those who have the money have little
reason to care whether they give their
best efforts or not. as the future is pro-
vided for: those who are in debt do not
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1912-06-19

care because the money they receive will
not go to them, but to the people they
owe, and few men are inclined to work
their best when the rewards of their eff
forts are dumped into the pockets OF
others.
Asking for waivers on George Muliin
and Eddie Summers and the publicly ex-
pressed intention of getting rid of these
men Is the first step at reconstruction.
The Detroit club figures that Mullin and
Summers are of no further use to the
team. Mul1in has outlived his value.
Summers could not be relied on last year.
nor this season.
It would not be surprising to see six
new regulars on the Detroit club next
year. They will be young men, who are
starting at the bottom and who must be
able to deliver the goods to keep their
jobs: young men who cannot afford to
dissipate and who will be able to go to
bed before midnight.
The Washington team was reconstruct
ed by adding young and willing workers
Look at them today. And there is no
team that reminds one more of Detroit s
Tigers today than the Washington team
of the three or four years previous.
The present bad influence must be root
ed out. the Indifferent spirit crushed and
a new ambition planted into the ranks Of
the Tigers before they will again look
like real ball club.
