Hugh Jennings, for the first time In

ball team that has a fair chance to
win the American League pennant.
He is very enthusiastic over his pros
poets for the coming season, and in
a letter to Ben Smith. the actor, Jen-

chance to carry off the bunting. And
in the Jennings letter to friend Ben,
Hughey is strong in his praises OF
Marty Kavanagh, of Harrison, who is
with the Detroit team. In discussing
Kavanagh, Jennings says that there
will have to be some tall hustling on
the part of the regulars to beat Marty

Hugh says, and he is as smart as a
whip. He is playing him at second
base and he is going great guns. The
fans hereabouts will be delighted,

outlook. He might have been playing

is curious that the British government

The increasing fury Of the attack

Whether Antwerp falls or whether the

uaIIy the German defense will be

This fact must be remembered in

the Belaians who would be released
