RADIATES BRAINS
Jennings Has Confidence and
Ability To Do Things.
Detroit Pilot Started His Base
ball Career i'm 1890.
BY JACK VEIoCK.

New York, April 16.-There is
something peculiarly impressive about
Hugh. Ambrose Jennings.
He seems to radiate baseball brains,
ability to do things and grim con-
fidence. He is known as a fighter
AND a hustler, and the spirit he in
jects into his players is nothing less
than magnetic.
Hugh Jennings on the coaching line
is a sort of dynamo of inspiration to
the members of his club. When
Hugfie is out there plugging for
hit. a stolen base or a run, every
member o. his team is plugging just
as hard, mentally. And it means
sor,ething. 1t means that break
or two in favor of the Tigers is a
b'~Ger advantage to them than to
many OF the othe~ clubs in the two
big leagues.
Good Judge of Men.
AS a student of baseball and a
great judge of players. Jennings ranks
with the best. His ability to teach
outfielders, infielders and catchers
the fine points of the game is very
well known, just as well known as
his uncanny talent of making well or
ganizcd fighting machines out of his
bal. clubs jennings one shortcom-
ing seems to be his ina bility to share
the usual luck of mana gers in find
ing the developing pitchers. 1t is a
sh 1rtcoming that no one can explain,
but it is there.
In every other way Jennings is a
bear, but the pitchers have always
been his hoodoo. He has acquired his
knowledge of baseball in years of
service. Back in 1894. '95 and go he
was the leading shortstop of the Ma
tional League. He was a mainstay of
the old Baltimore champions, and a
clubmate of McGraw, Brouthers
Carey and Jack Doyle. He ranked
also as one of the leagues greatest
hitters.
He Is Quaker.
Jennings was born in Moolic, Pa, in
1871 and started out as a semi-pro
player in 1890. He broke into the Ne :
tional League with Louisville and the
following year, 1893, was traded to
Baltimore. Later he played in Brook
Ign and Philadelphia, finally going
back to Baltimore as manager of the
club, which was then in the Eastern
League.
Jennings took a sheepskin away
from Cornell university, mixing study
with his baseball to do it. He became
so widely known that Detroit tried to
purchase him from Baltimore and
failing in that drafted him in the Fall
of 1906. Since that time he has beer
in the harness for the Tigers, and he
has always given Detroit a good club
He is known as one of the most hon
orable and fearless managers in the
game. Tho he has never won a
worlds title, he has three American
League pennants to his credit.
