condition of 80 percent in August

cent? points above the 5-year ave-
rage. Ona greatly reduced acreage

TIGERS SEE FLAG
FOR COMING YEAR
Believe Presence of Johnny
Tavener Assures Them
of a Pennant.

Ever superstitious, the Tigers he
lieve that in the presence Of Johnny
Tavener on the roster they are as
sured a pennant for the coming year.
Through a magnifying glass. the
midget shortstop wouldn't look much
bigger than microbe, but the new
mates are certain that he is the left
hind foot Of rabbit shot in a Gem
etery at midnight That's the great
est harbinger of luck known to
science"
When Tayener was born his fairy
godmother waived her wand over
Johnny's infant head and chanted
these words; You shall not play on
any baseball clubs but those that can
win pennants"
Johnny's fairy godmother has
record for always having the right
bunch. Johnny has played profession
al baseball for years and he never had
the experience OF being with a team
that finished out OF first place.
In 1921, Tavener was with Column
bia, S. c., in the South Atlantic
league Columbia won the penuant
that year. The next three seasons,
1922, % and "a he served the Fort
Worth club capably and rode with 1t
to a pennant each campaign.
Soon as the other clubs In the
league hear about this they can be
depended upon to cancel their en-
gagements and prepare to attend the
worlds series between the Tigers and
the winners Of the bunting in the
National league.
During the season Tavener would
do well If he stuck with the rest Of
the fellows when entering the ball
park otherwise he is apt TO get into
lot of arguments with the gate
guardians Tavener is smaller than
Bush was when DOME broke in with
the Tigers. DOME was obliged 70 get
letter of introduction from Manager
Jennings to the park officials TO get
past the guards on the clubhouse
doors.
Fans around the circuit won't be
lleve that Tavener is one Of the Tigers
players until they see him actually
in a ball game. Quite easier TO mis-
take him for the bat boy or the son
Of one of the older players To III
