JENNINGS is

The Detroit Tigers are oon to be
managerless, as Hughey. Jennings, Of
the Tycobbers, has notified President
F, ]. Navin that he is through with
the national frenzy, and that he will
not return to the game next year.
Jennings is one of the oldest base
ball men in point of experience in the
American league. and his decision to
retire came as a big surprise. The rea-
son, according to opinions expressed by
Detroit sport writer's who are near
Hughey, are that he is tired of having
to try to win a flag with a poor ball
club every year.
Like Griffith, Jennings has one man
on his team-Ty Cobb, b%asebalIss
supernatural as is the case Of
Walter johnson, Cobb can't drive in all
the runs or be the whole team. Jen-
nings is tired of worrying himself to
death and is to seek solace in some
undertaking less nerve-racking than
managing a major league ball club.
Jennings successor has not been
named, and according to President
Navin, it will not be given out until he
is certain that jennings does not mean
to return.

WAGED FIGHT IN
FLU" EPIDEMIC

HOUSTON. Tex, Nov. 21.-The way
the army officers OF Camp Logan here
fought to eradicate Spanish influenza
and other contagious diseases left lit
tie moro chance FOR a disease germ in
camp for an enemy alien.
In the various units of the camp six
men are quartered In each tent. II
one man was found to have a commune
cable disease, he was sent at once to
the base hospital and carefully isolated.
The other five were sent to quarantine
camp, taking with them all their bed
ding and clothing, which was carefully
fumigated.
The quarantine camp had quarters
arranged as in the company's street in
the regiment. There was a section for
each of the several contagious diseases
that might develop, a separate mess hall
Tor each section, and separate bath
houses. The entire quarantine camp
was surrounded by Il nigh wire fence,
II n separate fence about each Sec
ton with five feet Of intervening space,
thereby preventing men in the intlu-
cnza Camp coming into contact with
the measles or humps or whatever
might occupy the adjoining section.
Men sent to the quarantine section
were known as contacts and were
confined under observation for the
period Of the development Of the sus-
peCted disease. II no symptoms APP
pearcd they were sent back to their
respective quarters. If the disease APP
peared in the quarantine, the victim
was isolated in the base hospitals and
his tent mates assigned to different
tents and again placed under careful
observation.
While in the quarantine, the men
did not eat in the same mess hall, but
take their mess kits to nave them filled
and return to their own tents to eat,
A somewhat similar course followed
the arrival Of each new contingent at
camp. All the men were examined
carefully for communicable diseases be-
fore leaving their tram.
Recently this examination of a train
load Of seleCtive service men showed
several to be affected with Spanish in
fucnza and one with smallpox, they
were taken to the isolation hospital and

BURKE TO LEAD BROWNS.

Jimmy Burke, who succeeded Fielder
Jones as MANAGER Of the St. Louis
Browns last August, showed enough
ability In leading a ball club the little
time he was at the helm Of the Browns
to convince President Phil Ball, Of the
Browns, as wei as Brown fandom,
that he was the right man in the right
place.
Burke soon had the helpless, pepless
Browns fighting like a real major
league team and the club hardly re.
sembled the same aggregation after
Burke had had a little time to get the
boys working for him.
Burke Is a natural hustler and though
managing the Browns has proven dis
astrous to other leaders and convinced
them that II was a hopeless task, Burke
Is inclined to believe the fault was with
the managers and Is aolna out to show
where the trouble has been. i.
Jimmy Is already a favorlte with St.
Louis fandom and he Will make a strong
effort to put the Browns over next
season and finish up there even II he
falls to land inside the big dough.
