TY COBB TELLS
WHAT He PLANS
FOR THIS YEAR
Tigers chieftain Not Boastful,
But He Believes He'll Have
More Power.

AUGUSTA. Ca. March THE
Detroit Tigers are not claiming the
American League pennant for 1922,
but they win make trouble aplenty
for any club in Ban Johnson's or
ganization. So speaks Tyrus Ray
mond Cobb. the dynamic manager
Of the Detroit team. In an inter
view at his home here.
The Tiger" leader was not
given over to boastful predictions
for the coming season. Rather, he
declared. he will concentrate his
efforts to strengthen the team in
several departments and build it
into a formidable machine.
Second base and shortstop are
the IIain difficulties Cobb says he
is facing. Last year, he said. op-
position clubs punched holes
through the keystone position Of
the infield that lost many a ball
game. But he had strong hopes Of
plugging up these infteld defects
before the season opens.
The Tigers should finish fifth or
better" the Georgia Peach de-
clared. I'VE have very good
chance of finishing fourth or posi-.
bly, third. We are still unsettled at
second base and at short. Last
year III errors were made at
these positions. but II l can get
some fairly good fielding at sec
ond and short we will worry any
club in the league. look for I'M
provement in my young pitchers
and the club as a whole will be
more settled in its defensive play"
The boys are all imbued with the
spirit to win. and any club that
expects to find the Tigers easy
picking is going to be handed a
rather unpleasant surprise, &C
cording to Cobb.
Last year Pep" Young and a
youngster by the name of Sargent
held down the positions of second
and short.
Cobb did not state whether he
contemplated any trades to
strengthen his team, but appeared
satisfied with the prospects of the
club for the coming season.

golf, playing with Jimmy Thorn

Bucky Harris. With the regulars

then look them over.
