Notice that Jennings name ia being
starred as doubtful? Well there's a
reason. For they do say he's going
to Brooklyn. This is an old rumor,
warmed over from last season. but 1t
comes In with new trimmings. This
yarn has 1t that Jennings would have
been at Brooklyn this season. but a
Detroit paper printed that he was, to
he let out by the Tigers.
This story gained steadily, was
given credence In Detroit, and Jen-
nings was finally prevailed upon TO
stay with Nayins team another sea-
son just to prove to his detractors
that he had not lost favor with the
American league powers, This time,
too. there's something else that makes
the report look good, and that Is that

Colonel Bob isn't giving anyone s25.-

thinks the chief work Is up to the
scouts. And all the ether club presi-
dents are probably satisfied.
Chance VIII stick.
Owner Farrell at New York has had
a very disappointing experience this
season, for Chance has done not one
whit better than did Harry Wolverton
In 1912. But Wolverton's reputation
was, gained In the. minors and he WAS
let out. Chance has major league
reputation and is certain to hold on
for at least one more year. That puts
1t up to Detroit.
Then again. Jennings hasn't been in
high favor with Ban Johnson since the
1911 worlds series. when he was ac-
cused of allowing personal friendship
for John McGraw to give the New
York leader inside points about the
Athletics play. Since that time. the
story goes, Hughey has been anxious
to get out OF the American and Is now
ready to do business with Owner Eb-
