COBB'S WORTH TO DETROIT
INESTIMABLE, SAYS COLLINS

So boots away a lot of games. or
somebody else's fielding game is poor,
but where Chicago and Washington
loom up strong on the defense, De-
troit is just the opposite; while on
the offense the reverse is the case.
Tigers Weak on Defense.
Particularly in the pitching depart
ment is this noticeable. If the an
nouncements made by the Federal
League are to be relied upon at the
time of this writing. the signing of
Edgar Willett by the outlaw organi-
zation marks the passing of the last
member of that lot of veteran twir-
lers who did so much to make the
Tigers of '07. '0S and '09 the formid-
able champions they were. Ed Kill
liam was the first to retire and was
closely followed by Summers, who
was the bugbear of the Athletics.
Then the veteran of many campaigns,
Bill Donovan, seeing the handwriting
on the wall. obtained his release and
is now leading the Providence Club
in the International League. George
Mullin was traded to Washington
during mid-season last year, so that
left Willett as the sole survivor and
now he Is gone.
Dubuc Some Pitcher.
While this elimination process was
taking place, the appearance of two
men, one in '12 and the other in IL,
did a whole lot to keep the Tigers up
as high as they are. refer to Dubue
and Dauss, respectively. Although
possibly they have not met with the
success of some other twirlers against
the Athletics, I know that there is no
pair who are respected more or VINO
give us a harder battle. l have heard
lot about fadeaWays, slow balls,
lxnuclxle balls. etc, but I have yet to
see anyone who has anything along
these lines on this same Jean Dubuc:
Believe me, when his control is good
he Is about as tough q pitcher as you
would want to stack up against.
But outside of these two pitchers,
Manager Jennings's staff does not
look very formidable. His outfield
could not be improved upon, but he
has had a lot of trouble in hitting up
on the right combination for his inner
line of defense. OF the lot, Donnie
Bush, at short, alone seems sure OF
his Job. Del Gainor's biggest difti-
Guilty is to prevent getting hurt; ne
has always played IA high class game
against us, but he seems to nave more
than his share of injuries. In spite
of the many men who have been try
ing to get his place, George MorlaTlty
to my way of thinking, stands head
and shoulders over all at third base.
He is a past master in the art of
touching or blocking a base-runner'
and there are few in our league to-
day who play the bag generally any
better than he does.
To my mind, Detroit's most crying
need is pitchers. Dubuc and Dauss
are a fine nucleus, and of the others
I recall, M. Hall looks like conner.
With the addition of one or TWO more
dependables, [ am of the opinion that
Detroit's apparent defensive weak
ness would right itself

to Collins and to disprove some of the
arguments that have been going the

who reached first base 131 times on
hits and II times on passes, a total of
202 times, against Collins's 125 times,
only scored two more runs than Bill,
proving that Bill is a much better
runmaker.

Jumped back to the Philadelphia Ma
tional League club, after having
signed Federal League contract, ac-
cording to q statement today by
James A. Gilmore. president Of the
Federal League. The difference of
$500 and the breaking of the Federal
League contract led to the first deci-
sive legal fight between organized
baseball and the new league, which
has asked the Federal Court at Grand
Rapids, Mich, to enjoin Killifer from
playing with the Philadelphia club.
Gilmore said Killifer's contract
with the Federal League called for
the payment OF S17,500 for three years
playing. The contract Killifer later
signed with the Philadelphia club
called for the payment of Sl9,500 for
like period, a difference of s666 a
year, according to Gilmore.
There was nothing to indicate early
today whether or not Judge Clarence
w. Sessions, Of the United States
District Court, would hand down his
decision in the case Of Catcher Will
lam ]. Killifer, jr., to whose services
both the Philadelphia National
League club and the Chicago Federal
League club have laid claim. The
case was argued late last week, the
judge reserving his opinion with the
announcement he would not render a
decision before today and possibly not
for week or ten days.

SPECIAL PRACTISE
/. FOR BARR|NGER|TES
Track Team to Get Down TO
Real Work on Return from
Hike.

When the Barringer High School
track athletes get back from their
1O0-mile hike, they will start TO
specialize in their preparation for the
coming track season. To date the
Barringer athletes have confined
themselves in their training work to
getting in the best of condition. No
matter what the event for which an
athlete has been preparing, he has
been kept on the same training
schedule as the others.
The Blue and White track squad,
while not as brilliant as those of for
mer years. has the same rigorous
schedule mapped out for II. The first
start of the Barrlnger team will be
made on May at Hoboken, where
Stevens Prep squad will be met in a
dual meet.
Meets are also slated for the Bar
ringer team on the two following
Saturdays. The Blue and White will
compete in the Princeton Club meet
the Newark High Schools Athletic
Association track and field day on
May IS at City Athletic Field On
Decoration Day, May 80, the New
Jersey Interscholastic League field
day will take place. Barringer will
vie with East Orange Montclair and
Stevens for the honors in this event
Then If the Blue and White makes
a satisfactory showing in the fore
going meets, the squad will probably
be entered in the national scholastic
championships, which are scheduled
for June 6 at Travers Island.
In view of the recent agitation In
the Barringer Athletic Association
for the continuance of the annual
field day, the abandonment of which
was recommended, 1t is likely that
the affair, which has long been q feat
ure of the scholastic athletic program
in this city, will be held on May 20.
