It.
Then. too, a champion has some

for Gibby, Detroit finally winning out.

TO THE TIGERS
Scout and Coach is Proving His
Worth In Spring Training
Duties
WORKS EARNESTLY WITH
YOUNGSTERS ON FIELD
Kids With Them and Mixes Well
When He is OF the Play
ing Diamond
From q Sto1 Correspondent.

0ULTPORT. Miss. March 23.-Jim-
my Burke. the Tigers new scout and
coach, 10 OF great value to the club.
Jimmy apparently has exactly the
personality required OF q man who
wants to coach big league prospects
and he certainly knows the game Of
baseball from start to finish.
There are many qualities Of Burke's
personality which make him efficient
In bis present duties. In the first
place che is very well liked by the
players. He il genial. always willing
to kid and be kidded. and he mixes
we'll with the players, joining them in
their fishing expeditions. their card
games and 80 on. Yet, in spite Of his
intimacy with them. he is respected.
He carries with him enough dignity
so that the players don't forget that
he 10 their coach and not q bat boy.
On the field Burke impresses the
men with the seriousness Of the
proposition they are up against. To
learn the game Of baseball requires a
lot Of tedious, tiresome work, just
the same as rehearsing play re.
quires a great deal Of drudgery. 1t Is
very easy to let the baseball prac-
tees degenerate into kidding match
es and farce comedies. But Burke Is
serious and Woodworking every min
ute end he keeps the players remind
ed that IL isn't any horse play that
they are INDUCING in.
Jimmy Is very observant. This
quality has been OF great value to
him In the past and Is Of much value
to the Tigers right now. He notices
players weakness quickly. He en-
courages them when they are doing
well. but he doesn't overlook the
things that they are doing wrong
either.
Burke Is a leader rather than a fol-
lower. He doesn't need to be told to
do this or that or the other thing.
He IL out there doing II before he 10
told. Yet he knows that Manager
Jennings Is the boss OF the Tiger
OUTFIT and he doesn't try to force his
views and opinions even II they differ
from Hughes.
Taken altogether 1t looks as II
President Navin Is to be highly con-
graduated upon his choice OF scout

He found that by gripping the ball in

he got peculiar-acting ball.
The ball Is peculiarly effective upon
left-handed batters. 1t comes up to
them like fast one and then fades
away from them instead of hopping
through. Hall has already acquired
excellent control of. his new one.
He will now add II to his collection

assortment that has pulled him

Manager Jennings was highly pleas
cd when he saw Marks new attempt.
He believes that II Mark gains perfect

Hall discovered the thing last sea-

to put anything ON the ball. and he
has been developing 1t ever since.

ed north from the Athletics training
camp. but this critic seems to have
forgotten the work of Veteran Eddie
Plank In the regular games and

calibre Of Plank and the veteran may
be relied upon to win many games
for Mack again this year.

Then he jumps up like frog and Is
