has been hit 30 hard as to make
Mamaux's acquisition practically neg
ligtble. 1t will fall upon Mamaux,
Rube Marquard, and Clarence Mitchell
to carry the brunt of the seasons work
among the pitchers. They are capable,
but not f1t for the duty of pitching a
club to pennant.
Jake Daubert is a weak point in the
Dodger tnfield. Daubert has been
credited with being star for so long
that 1t is generally accepted fact he
is just that. He is nothing of the sort
now. He's just fair ball player, and
little over-rated to that. In the deal
which brought Ward to the Dodgers
and sent Cutshaw to Pittsburg the
Dodgers profited, for they obtained a
fine young player in exchange for a
veteran whose usefulness was becoming
practically nil. The infleid, then,
probably will be made up as it was last
year, with Olsen at shortstop and
O'Rourke at third base.
The Dodger outfield was weakened
some by the loss of Casey Stengel, but
the Dodgers still have in Hickman,
Myers and Wheat one OF the fine out
fields of baseball. Jimmy johnson,
also. Is present for substitute duty.

No Weakening Of Tigers
MY Cobb Returns
By H. C. HAMILTON

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Feb. S-There will be
no weakening Of the Tigers next sea-
son. IL Ty Cobb returns to the team
Germany.
Some departures appear to have
struck the club in the midriff but as
matter of fact. the Tigers actually
will be stronger in same parts than
when they gave up the battle for a
pennant last fall. For instance, the
infield will have some added strength
In the person of Lee Dresser, a first
class first baseman, and in the hurl-
ing corps Hughie Jennings really
should get some American league ma
terial out of his youngsters.
Ray Kallio is the most promising
OF the youths who will wear the Tiger
spangles next season. He comes from
the Pacific Coast league with a long
record of effectiveness His acquisition
is fully expected to Offset the loss in
the enlistment of Howard Ehmke,
another coast graduate who had prov
ed a real find.
The heavy Detroit attack will re-
main. Ty Cobb, Bob Veach and Harry
Heilman, as doughty a trio Of sluggers
as baseball can boast, will be back
provided of course. the army or navy
doesn't appeal too strongly to them.
The inf1eld will be intact, with the
probable exception of George Burns,
and If Dresser is capable OF putting
the skids under Burns and taking
over the defense of first base himself
the Tigers are certain to be stronger
in the inner works.
The Tiger infleld never has been as
heavy a gang OF artillery as could be
desired. Fielding has been a heavy
point with the club, however. and a
little punch shot in there will work
wonders. In Witt the Tigers have a
third baseman who is generally rated
on q part with Buch Weaver. DOME
Bush Is one OF the very best short
stops in the big leagues. Pep Young
Is q passing fair second baseman. II
Burns can keep his health and play
regular baseball. or II Dresser proves
UP to advance notice, the Tigers will
be well set.
Pitchers always have been a soft
spot In Detroit since the days Of Wild
Bill Donovan. Hints that Bill might
attach himself to the Tigers for
coaching purposes, therefore, sounds
mighty fine in the Michigan metrop-'
oils. Bill might be able to put some
thing in that pitching staff With a
fine crop of youngsters to work on, it
may be that the Tiger machine yet
will get started toward the point 1t
has hoped for SO long. The punch
In certainly there. Whenever the IT.
gers get to cutting down the opposi-
ton to slightly fewer runs the Amer
ican league is going to recognize an
upstart.
