JENNINGSSTI[L
AN IDOL WITH
DIAMOND FANS
Bv Sid c. Keener.

TACK in the days of 19O7-19Os-
Il 1909, Hughey Jennings was
being lauded as the smartest Of
baseball generals. All around the cir
cult there was praise for the skipper
Of the Detroit Tigers. In single
season he developed sixth-place
it on top for three successive years
in the American League.
But while the Tigers were prosper
ing and folks spoke kind words to
Hughey, he always replied:
Give all the credit to the boys, not
me. They're winning the games and
I'm just one of them You don't see
me punching out hit in the pinch
or fooling the batter when he must
be fooled"
He Had the Dope.
After three straight years Of sue
cess and prosperity, the tide turned.
They don't herald Jennings the great
est of all greats. In the eyes of the
fans Hughey is not such a brainy
fellow any more.
But jennings statement came
true. The remarks he gave out when
the Tigers were winning the pen.
nants can be renewed and show why
the Tigers aren't the same terror!
of the league.
mel" X.
Why aren't the Tigers winning pen
nants like they did i'm 19O7-19OS-
1909? The answer comes by compar-
ing the team that won for the Tigers
Jennings is directing to-day
The Old Stars Not There.
There's quite a difference in the
class of the Detroit tribe now.
Among the important missing ath-
letes are: Wild Bill Donovan. George
Mullin, Tyrus Cobb. Eddie Summers.
Davy Jones, Matty Mcintyre, Jim
Delehanty, Claude Rossman, Eddie
Killian, Herman Schaefer. Charley
OLeary and possibly a few more.
In the places Of these athletes who
were stars Of the first magniture at
that time, are Bobby Veach, Lefty
High, oscar Witt. Bill Louden. Texas
Hail. John Dubuc Zamloch. Clauss,
House and a few more.
Jennings hasn't a pitcher who can
60 through a season and win 25 games
and lose but 4, as wild Bill" did in
1907. Further Eddie Summers. who
used to beat the Athletics almost
every time he pitched; Killian. who
could halt the White Sox and Red
SoX. ana George Mullin, who won
almost. every time he took the hill. are
gone and forgotten
Even commanding a team that is
down in the second division. Hughey
Jennings remains an idol In baseball
His general character and makeup:
his style of coaching; his personality;
his way of arguments. not roughing
and fighting with the umpires, contin-
ually have made Jennings such an
idol.
He Used Smooth System.
It was the Jennings system that
made Hughey popular with every
body. When he entered the American
League he brought with him a new
style. It was common on the diamond
to see Fielder Jones, Clark Griffith.
Jimmy Collins, Joe Cantillon and
that kind rush up to the Jump and
kick up rowdy fuss on every close
decision
Also, it was an every day sight to
see some managers bawl out the play
ers during the course of the game
Jennings had a different system He
accepted the verdicts from the field
official with an All right. boys: let
il go AT that and when one of his
side turned bad play, Hughey sim
ply used to pat him on the back and
say kind word on the ball field.

Free Telephones.

1t is questionable if the village Of
Bennington is justified in asking
that the New England Telegraph
and Telephone company supply 1t
with free telephone service. And
yet should the village give the tele-
pohne company the free right TO use
the streets for its telephone poles
and lines? In justice to all the PEG
pie should receive compensation Tor
all franchises. Thousands OF cities
and villages throughout the coun-
ty have given away valuable rights
and the public receives nothing in
return. The streets and highways
when used for private or corporate
gain should be made TO produce a
revenue for their upkeep and main
tenancc. Thee are altogether too
many free franchises granted in
the country. This free game is not
business and municipalities are alto
gether too generous in giving away
the rights OF the public. Maybe free
telephones in Bennington would be
only just exchange for the use of
the streets which the telephone com

The Game Of ia BouIer.
Where People Spend Their Holidays
In Gambling

People SO 20 nieppe to gamble,
says the novelist, Richard Marsh, in
the October Strand. And there YOU
have tho real attraction OF the
French seaside town gambling. At
Dieppe you can play La Boule-that
stupid game. There used to be Pc
tits ChevauX, which, at least, was
amusing to watch for five minutes
or so. The French government,
though non-retglous, is moral. 1t
was decided TO put down gambling
thrcughou4 the land OF I''ancc so a
law was passed 20 put il down. The
little horses" were taken away, and
instead, they installed La Boule-
though why enc is gambling and tie
other is not no man knows. They
arei practically the same thing, but
instead OF the little horses which
galloped round the top of the table,
they have cut Il round hole in the
center of the table, whore the little
horses" used to be, and into this cav
ity they have fitted sort Of round
wooden bowl, on which the numbe IS
one to nine are painted, each in lit
tie compartment of its own, arrang-
cd not in sequence. but anyhow, and
each number 1ecurs twice. An oiIici-
al stands in front of this round pond,
he takes a solid rubber ball, the sort
which we cab a dog-ball; with his
fingers he rolls it round the outside
Of the pond, into which presently it
falls, and hobs from number to mum
Der, until at last it rests in one-and
the people who have staked franc
upon that one get their franc back
and seven more besides. You can
also, stake what is called an even
chance on the column on one side OF
the table, and four numbers on the
other. II number which is contain
ed in the column on which you have
staked a franc wins, you win a franc
but between the two columns, in the
center of the table, by tself. is the
number Ave: and il the number five
wins. all bets en- the columns go to
the bank-which is good for the
bank
II will thus be seen by the intelli-
gent reader that La Boule is a game
at which there can only be one win
ner-and That is the bank. A most
cursory examination of the odds viii
show that to be certain.
