DETROIT, Mich, Apr. 24.--It has beer

the best authority for the statement tina
even umpires often disagree as to the cor
rectness Of a decision on the diamond
That noted managers have achieved sue
cess by methods which were sharply diff
ferent in detail, is true also.
An example of the latter case came to
light in Detroit. Three famous stars of
two decades ago-"Pop" Arson, marriage
of the old Chicago Colts; Charley Bennett,
the Detroit catcher, and Sam Thompson,
the famous Detroit slugger-were watch
ing q game with Cleveland from a boz near
the catcher.
Bobby Roth, of the visitors, was on third.
He took a big lead, danced a moment on
the line and then-like a streak-raced for
the plate. His effort to steal home was not
successful, for Stanage had the ball in
plainly of time.

Detroit and New York

DETROIT. April 23.-Despite the fact
that the two squads were a friendly as n
twin cage of wild eats, it is probable that
the Detroit Americans and the New York
Nationals will stage another training trip
exhibition tour next spring. The splendid
financial and physical BARRING the Cobb
Herzog fight results of the tour this year
caused Managers Jennings and McGraw
to approve tentative plans for a trip in
1917.
The teams again will train in Texas.
They have definitely abandoned a pro-

work north via Houston, New %rleans, Mo-
