Tomorrow will be even bigger than
opening day at COmiskey park.
Fielder Jones brings his St. Louis
Browns to town, primed for a hard
fight, for Fielder would rather lick
the club he formerly managed than
any other team in the American
league. He has his athletes in good
shape, they are plenty good on de-
tense and have developed an attack
that is surprising. In the pitching
corps lies the strength of the club,
and Jones is saving Weilman or
Plank to toss the opener, having
heard Of the success Of COveleslde
against the Hose.
Jones is making ball club of the
combined Browns and Sloufeds, and,
while he has no designs on the pen
nant for 1916, any team he heads is
always dangerous. And there are
thousands of fans here in Chicago
who will have a divided allegiance
tomorrow, for Jones is the most
popular man who ever handled a
South Side club, the only one who
ever COPIED a worlds series for Com
iskey, and he did it with a club with
about so per cent of the mechanical
drive and power possessed by the
1916 Hose.

lot of star fieIders and hitters, does
not get all the credit he deserves for
his playing. The pudgy center
fielder is one of the most deceptive
fellows in the game. His manner
does not betoken speed, yet, when
the occasion arises, there are few
man of the Rowland clan who can
move with greater celebrity. On the
paths or in the field he travels on
high gear.
The best example of this came in
the fifth inning when Oscar Witt tick
eted one for the fence in left center.
Felsch sprinted back rapidly, over
took the ball, whirled and threw to
the infield, holding Witt at first on
what should have been a legitimate
triple.
Hap is also doing we'll in the lead
off role, getting on more through
batting power than ability to work
the pitchers. He is not the ideal first
batter, getting few passes, but he
does very well in the absence of Ed
die Murphy.
Ed Collins did something yester-
day that doesn't show in the box
score, but is worthy of boost, and
Overshadowed the two-base wild peg
he committed. 1t came in the sixth
inning with Heilman on first. Young
busted one over second which Eddie
knocked down, but without a chance
to retire his man. However, he
bluffed a throw to first, then leaped
for Heilman, who had Overrun Sec
ond. The Tiger first baseman des-
perateIy scrambled back to safety,
but Eddie almost caught something
in his trap.
Jennings will have to get better
pitching than yesterday if he is to
be factor in the race. Three of his
beavers dealt a dozen passes, and
even such a great batting crew can
