Will Resign Managership of Tigers
 for Inside Job

Detroit. February E.-t Special )- Hugh Jennings. to set at rest certain reports as to his plans to continue in baseball, makes it known that he will retire from management of the Detroit Tigers after this year and take an office job with the ciuc. ~n fact, he will become a magnate, for he has purchased a block of stock in the club. Recently a report was printed coupling the names of Jennings and McGraw as ~wo men who would soon retire fro inactive management. In answer to this Jennings was asked Tor a statement.
 MT. Jennings positively asserts that neither he nor John J McGraw will retire from active management this year. But he admits that both he and McGraw will leave the field in 1921 for the office. There has been talk for some time that Hugh will be-
 come vice president of the Detroit club. The reports are true, but this
 will happen when Jennings decides to discontinue the active management of the team and he can suit himself about that, but any time he steps out of uniform, he will be located ir l the front office and his stay with the | Detroit club will be indefinite, Since l this fact is officially known the boys
 may start at once doping out sue ,cessor to Jennings as manager of tn, Tigers.

PAT MORAN WON'T CHANGE LINEUP
 OF REDS IN 1920
Cincinnati Manager Intends to Give Old Superstition a
 Trial-Examples

Cincinnati, February 7-(speciai)- There won't be any change in the reg ular lineup of the worlds champion Reds next summer. New utility men will be on deck; there may be some add ed pitchers, but the catchers, regular pitchers and the seven men who are in there every day will so along just as in 1913 Ambitious youngsters who have cherished dreams of scintillating in cham pionship togs> put their hopes away the best they'll get will be session on the bench. That's where baseball is dif- ferent from a jail. It's best to be out side the jail looking in but it's best to be on the inside of baseball looking out.
 Pat Moran firmly believes that the champions of 1919 are good enough to go right along for 1920 He doesn't think the bell is ready to ring for Daubert, Rath, Sallee, Fisher or Rariden, nor for any one of them. Perhaps in another season they may be shaky, and their knees may wobble. but not before 1921. Hence. bar accident or injury, there is small chance for any of the juveniles One thing sure, none of the newcomers signed by the Reds has on past record
 much show to beat out any of the vet erans at present on the club.
 Baseball superstition, too, may have something to do with Pats ideas. Cham pionship clubs that clung together and kept the same lineup year after year used to win two and three pennants in a row. Teams that shifted their array al- ways stumbledS When, iii many seasons, has a club won two successive flags if it chased any regular star of the first win ming crowd? The Red Sox canned La Chance, and it was years before they won again The Pirates let Bill Abstein go, and haven't been up there ever since. It was a long time, after the Cubs turned Harry Steinfedt back, before they won asain. The Braves changed two or three srot before the h9i5 campaign, an what have they amounted to2 So the Reds of 1919 will go on intact, and we'll see if old-time luck rewards the old-time custom.

Wise Connie Mack
Philadelphia Pilot Talks About
 Salary Boosts

Connie Mack has come out for sal- ary boosts for ball players. Mack says:
 q think the majority of players should be given an increase over what they received last year, but do not believe in paying out such sums that it will be impossible to make up for it at the gate. l think the action of the New York Giants and Yankees in shouting the fact from the housetops that all their men are to be given a substantial increase is bad business
 Publicity of this sort does not do the game any good. I have signed several men so far, but will not re- veal their names until later. So far everything has gone along smoothly. and l feel sure 1 will have d team this season capable of providing some surprises"

PAINTERS ID PLAY THREE ROAD GAMES
 ON TRIP THIS WEEK
Alabama, Marion and s. M. A. Quintets Will Be En- countered By Local
 Basketball Team

road trip, composed of trio
 of cage encounters, has been arr
 ranged by Manager Bradford for
 the Birming gham southern quintet of
 basketball tossers to inciude the
 niyersity of Alabama Thursday
 night, Southern Military acad-
 emy at Greensboro Friday night,
 and Marion institute Saturday
 night. series of hard prac-
 tices will be held by the Panthers
 toward the first of the week in
 order to be in perfect trim for the
 trip.
 The strong university quintet will be the first opponent of the locals, and the result of the encounter will con- tribute largely to the standing of the Panthers in the indoor pastime. Thls is probably the hardest game on the schedule of the Methodists. The aggre- gation of the Southern Military cadets will face the local five on the following night in Greensboro, and should pre- sent a formidable front for the Pan thers to pierce, The Southern Military academy quintet is composed of sew eral former stars of other colleges, among whom are Merritt Shores of Bir- mingham- Southern cage fame last year, and "Rowdyn Crew, who has starred on Howard college teams Mitt Gren and Lee Tanner arc other Birmingham boys on the cadet roster.
 The Marion institute boys will be tackled on the last night of the trip Marion is anxious to reap revenge on the locals for the drubbing received at the hands of the Partners last Thurs day night and will stage great fight for the decision. The cadets will be hard to defeat on their own court.
 Coach Charlie Brown has promised his thinly clad athletes at least two hard work k-outs before the beginning oi the trip. The men to be carried have not been announced yet. but it is eN- pected that the probable lineup for tho trio of arguments will be as follows Forwards, Norton and Griffin; center Burney; guards. Candy and Green Propst may be able to take his place at center, which will produce gen eral change in the lineup.
 It was learned yesterday that Au brey Miller, who has played excellen football for the Panthers at guard this season. has resigned from school. Hi' loss will materially weaken the de fense of the Panther quintet. Mile is also a good pitcher, and his baseball ability will be needed in vain by thu Methodists during the coming spring
