DETROIT HOPES To
LAUNCH STRONGEST
TEAM IN THIS YEAR

DETROIT, Mich, Feb. 23.-The pre-
Giction is justified that Detroit will
have the strongest team this year that
has represented it in an American
league race since the old championship
days. There is, nevertheless, an at,
mosphere of uncertainty about the
club that has local dopesters guessing.
The outlook is bright, but there is a
calamity bunch prevalent. On form,
the team should be exactly as strong
on attack as it was in 1915. In addition
there should be an improved pitching
staff
Five outfielders will be taken to the
training camp at WaXahachie, Tex. or
these. Cobb and Veach will play reg
ularly. Whether Crawford will again
appear in right is a question. Under
studying him will be Harper and Mich
olson, newcomers to the circuit, and
possibly Harry Heilman, the hard-hit-
ting first baseman who appeared to
advantage early last season. Crawford
couldn't play half the time in 1916, and
he averaged barely putout game
for those in which he did appear. Wa
hoo Sam probably is through.
The old infelder of Burns, Young,
Bush and Witt is expected to be as good
as ever. Reinforcing the infield will be
rockies Dyer, Ellison and Jones, all
good batsmen. 1t is planned to carry
them throughout the season as pinch
hitters and emergency men. They will
be developed to take regular berths
two or three seasons hence.
Strange and Tub" Spencer will do
the catching. Spencer came back to
the majors last fall, and was able to
break into a score or more games. He
demonstrated that he could maui maj
or league pitching. His average was
.S71 and his backstopping was of the
highest order. Second string catchers
will be Mckee and Yelle, the latter a
recruit from the International league.
There is no good reason to expect
i'll of this array of talent. 1t has the
class. There is a weakness in right
field, but it was there last season and
wasn't disastrous.
The pitching, as usual for the Tigers,
will prove the big problem, Harry
Cveleskie always wins his twenty
games or more, and will be the anchor
man. Dubuc is gone. his place having
been taken by Howard Ehbke. young
right handler who made great record
in the York State League and then
showed class in the majors during the
closing weeks of the season. He is
ranked as a find.
Bill James will get into shape this
year or go hungry. He has lot OF
ability Willie Mitchell did some fine
hurting last fall, after he had been
transferred from Cleveland. Boland
has lived out of doors all winter, play
ing jockey to a mail truck, and is in
better shape than he ever was. Gun
ningham is youngster who is develop
irg nicely Dauss had horrible seas
on in 1916. No one knows what he will
do this year They look good Off the
coming season, but as usual the De-
troit critics are leary of the fingers.
Some new slab talent will be tried
cut. Chief among these recruits will
be Couch, from Frisco; Watson, ID
southpaw Jennings has been farming
cut for development, and Jones, from
the Central association.

which to prepare the crop for the fol-
lowing year: that by keeping leases
down to $40 acres for any one appli-
cant, the prospect of monopoly would
again be eliminated and that cancel

in the land being worked.
State Land Commissioner Smoot told

who has improvements on the land he
leases and made q strong argument
in behalf of the small holder in order
that this might be done while ample
time could be given in the leasing Of
the land so that preparations could be
made for the crop the following spring.

In most lines OF business where the
merchant prices all goods on certain

the price of the article wanted and
have him show you some other brand
