DETROIT IS TEAM
OF MANY CHAMPS
Jennings Points Out Half q
Dozen Titleholders, But Says
He Will Win When He
Meets Athletics.

Hugh Jennings, who Is a past mas
ter at handing out sarcasm, was asked
recently about the Detroit team and
what its chances were. He refused
to answer as to its chances, so he
was asked il its poor showing this
season hadn't been great disappoint-
ment to him. Then Hugh exploded
and delivered himself OF these fine
slams at his team in general:
Am ! surprised by the position De-
troit holds in the racer My answer
to that is that Detroit does not wish
to corner all the good things in life.
We claim that Detroit Is the best city
in the world in which to live. It also
had the greatest ball player Of all time
and the greatest red-headed coacher
in the business.
1--WE also have some Of the best
pool and checker players in the game
enrolled among the Tigers. As for
crap shooters, you will have to go
some to find the superior of DOME
Bush. We also have the best trainer
who ever trained West Point cadets.
In military drill we have attained a
high degree of efficiency.
In Ed Spencer we have the great
est comeback catcher in the world. In
Sam Crawford we have one OF the
most expert amateur photographers
who even got peeved when you
opened the door of his dark room. In
Bill James we have one of the best

Among the First to Fight" ma

Byron A. Simpson Of Omaha, private

Byron, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Byron
Simpson, 250l Poppleton avenue, en-
listed in the United States marine

He has displayed such marked mil

have been selected to represent their
country first in the war for democ-
racy are proud Of the recognition be-
slowed upon them and they go with
the best wishes OF the entire nation.
Readers of The Bee are proud OF
the Omaha boy and wish him success
as United States marine-one who
is willing to die, il necessary, to up

Milwaukee, Wis, June 30.-Ten per-
sons are said to have been killed or
drowned, six women and four men,
the result of the falling of water
tank from a dock warehouse when
the whaleback steamer Christopher
Columbus, of the Goodrich transit
line, in swinging out in the stream,
struck the east bank, causing the tank
to collapse from its fastenings. Many
are reported injured.
The tank fell on the upper deck
of the vessel, which was crowded with
passengers. Many are said to have
been knocked off the vessel into the
river and either killed from the inn
pact OF the falling structure or being
rendered unconscious. were drowned
before rescued.
The impact Of the vessel at the dock
loosened the fifty-ton water tank and
it crashed down on top of the steamer,
crushing the pilot house and three
lower decks into kindling wood.
Many on Steamer.
There were said to be approx
mately 400 passengers on the boat, in
GLIDING several students from the
University of Chicago, who were re-
turning from an outing.
The crash of the water tank tore
through the bridge, pilot house, two
decks, and slid into the river when it
struck the steel main deck.
The occupants OF the boat could
give no explanation of the tragedy.
Beyond the fact that James Brody
was at the wheel at the time and that
his wheel failed to respond, they have
nothing to say but simply deplore the
horrible accident.

for position once more. 1t reminds
me Of the seasons of 1909 and 1910
when the Tigers and Athletics had
such strenuous fights for the pennant.
Now, after seven years of varied for

"Perhaps-well you are so for

you see. Sue is my beloved big sis
ter. and I'm home just on visit.
Then you're-you're Bob. aren't
you?" Virginia drew back as
though she had been intruding on
private ground. Susan had often
told her what a favorite among
girls her brother wasl But how
| impossible it was for her to make
7 him be serious.
I'm Bob. all right The only

she watched him eye approximately

And" he continued, though I
may be very modern in being so
hasty. I want to tell you 1 came
out here into the dark to think. And
my thoughts centered all around a
dear little old-fashioned girl who
still retains just enough of her
grandmother's conventionality to
know il is improper to speak TO

that she wanted to, but couldn't.
/ Someone was coming down the

Bob drew Virginia up gently. and
escorted her into the house through
the rear door.
Just TO keep Sue from being too
fussy," he explained. but I want to
know better, my little old-fashioned
girl, better and better and better"
And he squeezed her hand in pro-
portion TO his eagerness.
Sue divided the partners at sup
per most appropriately she
thought. but there were two people
at opposite ends of the long snowy
board, that had eyes for none but
each other.
And incidentally, the work that
Virginia had left undone at the of
flee was finished by-her successor.
That was after she had wired her
marriage announcement to her en-
ployer a few days later.
