HUGH JENNINGS. BASEBALL FIREBRAND,
ONCE GREAT PLAYER, NOW GREAT MANAGER

No manager of modern times
has been so. much praised by HIS
admirers and so much criticised
b others as Hughie Jennings.
leader of that wonderful Detroit
aggregation.
Ball players either declare him
the best leader of men the game
has known, or else accuse him OF
being the luckiest fellow In the
game and give the credit to his
possessing two of the greatest
hitters the game ever has known
and, during the winning days, q
bunch Of alright pitchers.
Jennings is an odd type. He
came from the coal mines, an
ignorant, fiery-tempered, uncul-
tured boy to join the worst bunch
Of rowdy players the game ever
saw-the Baltimore Orioles. No
man could play on that team
who lacked nerve and courage to
stand the abuse and criticism
heaped upon him by his fellows
for any misplay.
In that hard school Jennings
held his own, won his way to
leadership, and kept his bright
sunny disposition and his smile
that makes everyone near him
want to smile.
He is one of the best types Of
fighting Irish" who can fight
and forgive and forget. His best
friends now are fellows with
whom he fought.
1t is related that once a player
became unbearable and jennings
framed" another player to whip
him. He did, but the winning
player became worse than the
other so Jennings calmly fixed up
another fight. had the trainer
whip the obstreperous player, and
then fired the trainer.
Jennings famous antics on the
coaching lines besides amusing
the spectators, are INDUCED in
chiefly to hide HIS signals. He
has a system of signals using
spoken words. and he can call an
order at the top Of his voice and
not attract the attention of oppo-
nents as the words with meaning
are hidden among lot of ones
that are uttered aimlessly.
He knows the game inside ont
and is a skilled teacher Of young
players. devoting much time and
patience to them.
Jennings il a remarkable lead
er and has handled the Detroit
team better, perhaps. than any
other managed would have done.
