By BERT WALKER.

AUGUSTA, Ga. March 1.-The
Detroit baseball club as represented

verge Of mudny. The boys hate to
be starved to death. InaSmuch
as only, for the most part. young
players are here, they hesitate To
start an open rebellion.

they are underfed. In the lobby
of the hotel the boys are saying
to one another they wish they were
back home where they could get
something to eat.
Here they are limited to $125 a
day for food. So far as statistics
go 1t appears that no major league
club has ever been able to get its
athletes by with double this sum.
The fellows now here are patron.

to exc out a meager existence. 1t
may be that q pennant will be lost
because the Detroit club Is under.

The fellows will not go out and
take their work seriously on empty
stomachs.
1t rained all day yesterday. Ty
Cobb, as usual. wasn't in town any
way, and only q few Of the more
ambitious Of the outfit went to
the ball park.
Training in Georgia, without a
manager. without food and without
the esprit de corps, IL in the opinion
Of the athletes now assembled here
very much the bunk. Today Ty
Cobb promises to put his athletes
through a stiff practice. This Is
one Of Ty's daily bulletins, but up
until now he hasn't put 1t into
