BIG LEAGUE MOGULS Navin, Owner of the Tigers

The Republicans put Frank Navin, oWntsr Of the Detroit baseball club, into the great national game.
 The Tiger magnate is a native of Michigan. At one time he aspired to political career in that grand and glorious state and sought the nomina- ton for justice of the peace on the Republican ticket. But he made the mistake of not lining up the organiza = ton behind him. The said organiza- ton had other plans and another can didate and Navfn was defeatfd. He announced that just for that he'd give up trying to climb the political ladder to the presidency and drown his sorrows in baseball.
 Navfn was born in Adrian, Mich, in 1871. Navin at fx1t planned to seek fan,= as a lawyer. He studied law and passed the state bar exam ination in 1893. He began his base fiass of the Detroit club. He learned the game and salted his nickels. When the club was purchased in 1903 by William H. Yawkey, rich lumber man, Navin soaked his last dollar in stock and became secretary of the club, which position he held until 1908 Then Yawkey retired from the presidency and Nayin stepped into his shoes
 The greatest achievements in Ma yirl's career were bis signing of Tyrus Raymond Cobb. super-player. and Hughfe Jennings, the man who led the team to three spennants in a row and developed score of terrific bat ting organizations that ranked as pennant contenders year after year.

 During two of the years he aver aged 1-9S earned runs to a game and outside of his first year in the big tent and in 1915, he did not allow more than 800 to a full nine-inning sa1hS- From 1903 to 1914, inclusive tills aVerage ran from 200 to 800, showing the utmost consistency.
 And to further prove what won ders the famous pitcher performed in the box, 1t is only necessary tn refer to a record of his battles with Hans Wagner, the famous Pittsburg slug time Hans was able to gather but three home runs from Matty Wag- ner accounted for 1O6 hits all told but he only got thirty-four extra bases off Matty in the shape of fff- teen two-baggers; five three-sackers. besides the three homers, for 14O total bases.
