Jones Declares War On

On Live Topics Interesting to Fans
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

Fielder Jones. manager OF the

ughey Jennings, leader OF the De-

Jones Insists that IL the Brownies

viewed MIN on the coming season.
nughey WAS quoted as saying that
the Brownies. with all those for

When this was shown TO Jones,
ne went insane. Then he replied:
Just go out and tell jennings and
the. Tigers that the 1916 Browns are
a better ball club than the 1905
Chicago White sox." shrieked Jones,
If Detroit Is the club we have TO
beat. then the worlds series will be
played at SportAman's Park.
lie said we'd be around the bottom
because had too many Federal
Leaguers. What does he know
about the Federal League?
I'm not saying anything about
my Federal League players or the
American Leaguers-rm talking
about my 1916 ball club--yes, it's n
better team than the 1908 White
Sox.
I'm willing to back up this state
ment. and to prove II we're going
out and lick the Tigers"
What relief II Is to hear some
thing like this. No more bowling
about inJunctions. No more back
biting about signing contracts. But
"A whole lot about baseball. And
that's what should be said.
Those ST. Louis fans will simply
eat up this dope about what the
Brownies and Tigers are going to
do to each other on the field. And
the gate won't suffer. either.

A Popular Magnate.

Charlie Somers was always known
as one OF the most popular men con-
nected with. professional baseball.
He had friends. not only In cleve-
land. but in every other city in tho
major leagues. and even down into
the minors. They all admired his
gameness. his sportsmanlike habits.
his ways OF doing business In base
ball.
But James c. Dunn. his successor,
may come close to cqualing Somers'
popularity. Already, in a month or
so. he has become popular in Cleve-
land and one swing around the cir
cult will probably turn the trick In
every other city.
They call him Jim" in Cleveland.
The Washington times., 1916-03-25

And that's the way he wants TO be
knownAas plain Jim"
There are several good. points
about Jim" Dunn. The first IL that
he doesn't claim any glories before
they're won. The second IL that he
doesn't believe In charging moro
than q. dollar to see his team In
action against the best IN the bust
ness. IA -t.,'r

nant some day says 'Jim" Dunn,
but that will hardly be this year.
The team will fight for all Il can
and all ! ask In that the fans appre-
ciate their willingness to fight.
"A dollar Is enough for any base
ball game anywhere. While I am at
the head OF the Cleveland club, the
fans will never have to pay more
than a dollar to see the team play
ball"
No wonder Dunn's a favorite In
Cleveland.
