ranged a plan by which 10000 men
can be received, examined by medical

as speedily as possible.

probably longer the military machine
created by the United Statos will be

six months 1t Is figured that at least
700, 900 soldiers will be brought home
and passed through the routine neces-
sary to their dismissal from the ser.

The length Of time necessary for this
depends, military authorities state,
upon the number OF steamships which
may be available TO the Government.
Great Britain is rapidly withdrawing
from American service the numerous
ships which played no big a part in
time to deliver the finishing punch to

sells can be utilized they will bring
American troops to these shores and
they will then be cargoed with food

The details OF the reception OF home

The familiar face of Eddie Martin in the lineup of the visitors brought forth a great reception, and in response Eddie proceeded to put up a lightning fast game. He could not however defeat the locals single handed.

The real stars of the contest were Taylor and Burns, at the guard positions. Martin and Flynn, had their hands full with this pair of dminutive play CTS. Eddie Sachrest was the scoring star of the game, the elonga center finding the net on eight occasions for goals.

BILL DONOVAN MAY
 RETURN TO TIGERS
Former Yankee Leader May Be- come Jennings First Lieutenant

Wild Bill Donovan, who sought se- clusion when he parted ways with the ownership of the Yankees, after leading that i1l-fated team for three seasons, is likely to be seen on the old stamping ground in a minor ca pacity next season. There is strong belief in Detroit that the Smiling One will act as first lieutenant to Hughie Jennings with the Tigers the coming season.
 Jimmy Burke, Detroit coach, scout and chief adviser to Mr- Hugh the past several seasons, has severed dip lomatic relations with Frank J. Ma win. Donovan is being boomed for the position, and doubtless can have it for the asking. Wild Bill is quite as popular in Detroit as is Christy Mathewson in New York.
 Detroit fandom has never conced- ed that Bill was a. fa111rrer in New York, The failure of the team was blamed to a combination that no manager could have overcome-lack of material of class and unusually bad luck in the matter of sickness and injury to the players, such as they were.
 Popular With Fans. Donovan is not only popular with 1 the fans of Detroit, but with the stockholders and Manager Jennings as well. He is a bosom friend of ! both President Frank J. Navin and William F. Yawkey, the other prin- cipal stocl1ho4der- Much of the sue cess of the champion Tigers of 1907, { 1908 and 1909 has been ascribed to Wild Bill, whose genial personality as | do ir Tar 1n1 ~1 ! harmony.
 It cannot be denied that when 1 Donovan left Detroit to become man. 1 ager of the Providence team of the 1 International league the Tiger com- ! bination for some reason lost much l of it's punch
 Donovan was one of the very greatest pitchers of his time. He ! knows the pitching art from the ground up He would be particular ly useful to Jennings just now. For
 Hughie lacks only this one great ! commodity to round out a team that
 might battle to the death with both the Red Sox and White Sox.
 The Detroit club behind Boston's pitchers last season would have lost the White Sox by the Fourth of
 July, for Jennings has the greatest 1 run-ScOr1ng aggregation Tn the game.
 Sore Need of a Genius.
 The Detroit club at the present mo-
 ment stands in sore need of some
 genius who may reconstruct a pitch
 ing staff of average ability. Howard
 Ehmke, a youngster who showed re-
 marl1able promise last season, has
 enlisted. This leaves Jennings with
 only four veterans from last season. Roland, Dauss, Mitchell and Coveles-
 kie Mitchell and Coveleskie appear to have hit the down grade.
 Jennings must either effect trades for seasoned twfrlers or develop two
 or three of his rockies for regular service the coming season. Detroit fandom believes Donovan is just the man to do the developing.
