DETROIT AND ITS

Jennings knew. last year. that In
order to win a pennant. he would
undoubtedly have to have another
pitcher" says baseball critic. The
time for him to get that pitcher was
not in the heat of the race. but last
winter
The criticism Is unjust. Detroit
did make strenuous efforts to
strengthen its pitching stan. No at
tempt was made to purchase players
from other teams, with the excep-
tior Of Eddie Plank. and Detroit was
not TO blame because the veteran

TO break his splitter half a dozen
times at camp.
karr. who had an unusually effec-
tive curve, was overworked after he
was sold TO Detroit. and when he
reported al camp, was in no condi-
tion to pitch. Ledbetter wasn't
worth what was to be paid for him.

Reynolds had all the makings of a

STRANGE Death MESSAGE.
HAROLD soxERs. $50 Dc xalb

1t may have been strange and
tragic coincidence. Some will believe
there was more in it than that. The
husband of a Paris woman violinist,
himself musician. left for the front
shortly after mobilization. His name
was Remy. At parting he told his
wife: "If l go under ! will try to let
you know directly before the official
news reaches you" She scarcely
played any music during his absence.
But the other day she took up her vio-
lin. feeling impelled to play one piece
which he liked above all. She opened
the case, and two strings of the violin
suddenly snapped, the d and the E.
"Re" and Mi" she at once thought.
1t was the warning he had said he
would give her. The next day tele
gram informed her that her husband,
Sergeant Remy, had been killed In
action.
