AMBITION ASSURES
KAVANAGH'S SUCCESS
Told Hughey Jennings That
He'd Play Ball If 1t Had to
Be in Class q.

One reason that Marty Kavanagh is
making good with the Tigers at second
base is that he has an overweaning
ambition to play baseball. I'm play
baseball If I have TO play in Class ..
and make the jumps in stage coaches.
said Kavanagh, shortly after he re-
ported to Manager Jennings at Gulf
port this spring.
He was a sick man when he made
his appearance at Gulfport. But he
wanted so badly to get chance to
make the Detroit team that he went
to work in spite OF that, displayed no
sign of being Ill and plugged along.
Finally illness got the better OF him
and he was forced to return to De-
troit and go to a hospital.
Then all Marty wanted 10 do was to
get we'll so that he could get out on
the field and start playing. He didn't
know that he had already chased PADDY
Bauman OF that second sack and that
the Tigers were hanging on TO Paddy
just to protect themselves until he
could start to work. But everybody
else did and they were all glad TO see
him out on the field.
Kavanagh says that he will never
spring a winter story about quitting
baseball. He won't spring anything like
that for the simple reason that he
knows that everybody who knows him
will believe that he is lying If he says
he is going to quit.
There is probably no more admirable
part of Kavanash's fighting disposi-
tibn than that which gives him just as
much pepper and ambition when things
are breaking badly as when they are
going well. He kicks his heels together
when he singles and he kicks them to-
gether when he fans. His middle name
is Upndoing.
