! of Tavener chance at shortstop.
Rfgney hasn't been in the best IT
shape and played for q while in
bAndAges. But I don't figure Cobb
will keep him on the bench for
long unless the recruit hits the
ball awfully hard.
Dutch Leonard, the old war-
horae OF Red Sox days, looks as
good as any on the Tigers pitching
staff. Whitehill will be hard to
beat later on but the boys don't
think az hard as last year. Pitchers
of Whitehill's type generally have
. great season their first year or
two in the major leagues but when
the experienced batters look their
stuff over for six months or the
like, they begin to cause him
trouble.
Here is the best dope 1 got
from Detroit. Ty Cobb and his
players are pulling together,
games the fans hear runOrs of
hard feelings. Cobb il riding
'em." You hear from s0-called
inside sources and these same
wise guys" explain Detroit de-
feats by saying "The boys won't
play for Cobb" Such cracks
aren't worth repeating and when
you run them down there is
never anyone to back them up.
I've got the dope straight, that
the Detroit players and their man
ager are taking the medicine of
an early season slump without
passing the buck. The players are
not blaming, Cobb and Ty is not
riding the players. He's too busy
trying to win.
IN fact here is some genuine
club house dope" almost conf
Dental secret. A certain Detroit
player was recently overheard say
ing: "Ty. it looks like you are
going to have to try the old driving
idea, to bring as back to life. =
The Tigers manager answered there
would be no driving.
Anyway, Cobb WITH figure 1t out
some way in time to make it
interesting for Connie Mack and the
rest Of us but in the meanwhile
take the Yankees advice: Don't
let Detroit fool you."

u AND AFTER
BY ROSS CoNKLIN--

Golf pros in Washington have a
little secret all their own. On Mon
days, Blue Mondays, they gather
at some one of the clubs, mostly
at Burning Tree, and bet each
other into bankruptcy. Mostly the
wagers are on medal score, long
driving, and putting. How those
matches come out is never for the
peepul to know.

the jollity Of the occasion.
Colonel Paul B. Clemens Of Sup
erior, Wis. now supervisor Of the

guest of the evening. Colonel Gle
mems was attached to the general
staff Of the 32ud Div. during the
war. His military service dates to
1902.
He recently applied for six
weeks leave Of absence from the

mel was going south to learn the
gentle art Of killing"
Colonel Clemens is now command
/ ing officer Of the 128th Inf which
| is the regiment to which co. H be
longs. In his talk last night the
colonel said that the trouble with
the United States is not too much
militarism but too little statesman
ship. He pointed out that we all
believe in the ten commandments
but that we have a greater num-
Der Of policeman to enforce them
than soldiers in the army to protect
us from our enemies. He also said
that there are lot of sob sisters"

peace but the colonel pointed out
that we spent enough in 1T" to
maintain an adequate army than
from 1775 until the present time He
also pointed out that many Of the
sacrifices of men in the recent con
flict we're due to poor preparedness.
The speaker further said that he
is in the army because he wants to
know how to fight if he has to.
History he said has shown how
war has occurred every generation
in the United States
The colonel closed by saying that
it is what you do in life that counts
not how long you live. He said
that the men who died in the war
had really lived and that he hon
ored them and gloried in their man
ner Of living and death.
