.HUGHEY JENNINGS
GIVING MUCH CREDIT
He Proved a Factor in Landing
the Giants in First
Place.

BY Associated Press TO Every Evening.
New York, Oct. IA great deal of
the credit for bringing the New York
Giants successfully through the 1921
pennant campaign IS being given 10
Hughey Jennings, the grass-chewing
jumping jack who won managerial
fame as leader of the Detroit Tigers.
In October Of 1920, Jennings signed
a contract TO serve as assistant mana
ger of the Giants. taking the place
made vacant by Johnny Eyers, who
had been selected TO manage the Chi
cago Cubs. The acquisition of Jennings
by the Giants came as a surprise TO
the fans and il was generally pre-
dicted that he would be one of the
most able assistants John McGraw
ever had.
McGraw in no wise relinquished his
job as manager but Hughey began at
once to do all the work afield. His
'.E-yaah" and grass pulling had beer
seen before at the Polo Grounds but
with Hughey as Giant, the fans took
him differently. 1t was "Atta-boy
Hughey" where before it had beer
"Aw go and lay down"
+. The good-natured Jennings sOOr
won favor with the players and hi:
fighting spirit helped them to pul
/ through many tough games. Jennings
is considered great little general anI
has proved an able second-baseman
This is Jennings 18th year as I
| leader. He won pennants in the Ameri
can League with Detroit in 1907, 1908
end 1909. He is not exactly a strange
in the National League, having spen
several seasons with teams represent
ing Baltimore, Brooklyn and Philadel
phia in the older circuit. He was
camrade of McGraw's on the famon
old Oriole aggregation.
Jennings was born at Pittston, Pa
in 1870, and first played professiona
baseball with the Leighton, Pa, cIu
in 1890. The following year he signe
with the Louisville, Ky, club of tn
American Association playing frs
base and short. In 1894, he was trade
Ito Baltimore Nationals and four year
later was ssifted 10 the Brooklyn Ma
tionals. In 1901 he became. manage
and captain of the Philadelphia Ma
tionals and two years later returne
to the Baltimore, Eastern Leagu
club playing second and short unit
1907 when he was drafted by Detroi
He was made manager and won III
pennant that year. All of his Detro
: teams were regarded as pennant COZ

baseball meeting held a few days ago
IN the Chamber OF Commerce rooms
az Salisbury, Nd. An organization
injecting win be held in the same rooms
on Friday, October 7, to make def
mite plans for the 1922 season. Six
Eastern Shore and three Delaware
towns were represented at the Sails

st. Michaeis. Chestertown. Easton
and Centreville were expected 10 send

cent Jamison. president Of the Blue
Ridge League. was present, and gave
the delegates an idea Of how 70 run
organized baseball.
Nearly 200 fans attended the meet
ing. which included some representa-
tive citizens Of the peninsula and
Delaware. Seaford was not repre-
sented at the meeting, but will senj
n delegation to the meeting next Fri
day. the fans Of this town having def
nitely decided to place team in the
field next season.
II was pointed out at the Salisbury
meeting that organized baseball could
be run much cheaper than inde-
pendent ball. The salary limit Of the
Blue Ridge League is $4,000 per month
and il was shown that the Salisbury
club. an independent team. the pas
season, expended t1O,93ess for nins
weeks Of baseball, the average weekly
payroll being slightly in excess d
S675 for each Of the nine weeks. Th'
average weekly payroll Of the BLU
Ridge League is $3.50 weekly. Not
withstanding independent baseball
players cost more, as indicated by tn
above figures, the Blue Ridge Leagu
got better results and played a bette
game in every department.
The fans down the peninsula ar
wise to this and they are enthusiasti
over playing organized baseball nex
season. In the general discussion a
the Salisbury meeting, the sentimer
was unanimously in favor OF formin
