Hughey jennings's Club Better
Than at Any Time Since Babe
Adams Beat Them Out Of
Worlds Championship Five
Years Ago.
By B0sensan Bssl0er /.

IF the opening attack OF the Tigers
v q sample Of what We are To
expect In the future. Hushey
Jennings, after all. may have TO mako
good that promise OF getting tickets
for his friends to the worlds series.
Instead Of . Kid" Hughsy's spring
reservations are lilkely TO prove . bit
Of business foresight. The seating
capacity at Detroit tou know. Is
limited.
The Tigers look more like . real
ball club right now than they have
at any time since Babe Adams beat
them out Of . worlds championship
i've years ago In Pittsburgh. More
over. they made the best showing Of
any American League club that has
faced tho Highlanders this season.
II may bs that jennings has merely
succeeded In getting his machinery In
adjustment early and that the real
strength Of the Athletics will tell
later on, but all indications are that
Detroit really has the goods.
There was nothing spectacular for
Cobb and Crawford to do-in fact
wahoo Sam didn't get = bit out Of
ave strollA to the plate-but the rest
Of the gang went right along attend
ing to the business at hand a. II
neither Of these noted cogs were Of
absolute necessity.
And what do you know about CO.
valeskie again bobbing up a. q
thorn In the side Of u New York
crowd? The last time the fans saw
this dangerous Pole In action was
when. pitching for the Philliss, he
winged the Giants a. they were
about to light on the 1908 pennant.
Since then Covaleskie has been
booted around the leaguos-major
serensly In the stripes Of the Tiger
and hang . row Of goose eggs around
the necks Of an ambitious gang like
our Highlander. Jennings says that
Covaleskie already 10 one Of his most
dependable pitchers. just the same
Il will always be hard to make . New
York crowd like him.
Frank Chance and tho members OF
his club were intensely disappointed
over the showing OF Heinie Schuls
who really lost the game In one third
OF the first half Of the first inning
perhaps tho quickest losing OF the
season. Shulx has been working hard
to get in shape, and II was believed
that he was Just right to start In
and begin taking his regular turn
but something w0lt wrong. The cold
dreary day may have had something
TO DO with II, as he lost control righ
from. the jump. When Heinie die
get the ball over those Tigers killet
IT, When no didn't they walked.
According to the regular run o
things, Ray Fisher. the Vernon
schoolmaster, will attempt the tasl
OF subduinK the Tigers this after
noon, and as he has been rather sue
cessful against them In the past ther,
lis hope that Jennings may be stOpps,
from talking about that pennant an,
resultant worlds series for = day o
80. anyway.
In the mean time the Giants hav
arrived In Pittsburgh to see abou
that big lead OF the Pirates and I
prove that all the clubs In the Ma
tional League are not like tho Cub
the Cardinals and the Reds. II In
McGrawites should succeed In TAX
ing three games out Of the four (ge
that dog from under the tablet tn
6moketown fellows will b ready 10
the chutes.
