Power and Endurance.

When the Detroit players appear on
he old ball field here, where the Giants
made history and other teams have
made history in the past, and where
Rogers Hornsby delivered his inaugu-
ration speech in 1926, telling his men
in true Texas style that he didn't want
any more alSo-ranS to eat longer at
the expense of the club, the Tigers
loom up massively and give sense
of great collective power and en-
durance.
No broader shouldered outfielders
hit the ball for any old team, and no
more agile infielders could be wanted,
now that McManus is with the nine
He oiled the works when Detroit got
him. While he did not get on well
with st. Louis and probably never
would again, after his slowness in re-
porting in 1926, he may have changed
this Detroit team into one of those
affairs that start off with celebrity in
the spring and give the cher clubs
mighty scare.
If the Yanks. the Athletics and the
Washingtons are so strong that they
can beat each other to jelly in the
East, Detroit has a chance to get
through at the finish and be near the
top, If not on the highest crag.

Mayor Writes to Commits
sions Asking Them to
Study Methods Used in
Other Cities.

Members Of the police and fire
boards have received letters from
Mayor Weld recommending that
merit system be installed in both
departments to govern appointments,
his objective being to take the mat
ter OF selecting members of both de-
partments out of politics.
Inquiry will be made by Clerk
Joseph A. McGrail of the board Of
tice IN other cities relative to max
ing promotions in police departments
as a result of the recommendation.
Chairman Chamberlain reported re-
ceipt of the mayors letter. at the
meeting of the board last evening
and after a brief discussion it was
voted to obtain information bearing
on the systems in effect elsewhere.
1t appeared. from the comments
OF the commissioners. that 1t might
be well to carry out the mayors
recommendation. Commissioner Ban
non remarked that the officers and
members of the department might
find an incentive to work harder II
assured that consideration would be
given to their efforts and accom-
plishments.
Fire commissioners were Of like
mind and will also make inquiry
through Clerk Thomas J. Meskill.
The mayors suggestion to the po-
lice commissioners follows:
Il should like to suggest that your
commission investigate the advisa-
bility of instituting a merit system
in your department. 1t would seem
to me that almost anything that
could take the appointments out of
politics would be a good step for
ward.
Il should like to compliment your
board for the turnout for the dedi-
cation Of the Spanish War Memorial.
1t was very fine showing and I am
sure created very favorable i'm
preston throughout the city,"
To the fire commissioners, Mayor
Weld wrote:
Il should like to suggest that
your commission investigate the ad-
visibility Of instituting merit sys-
tenn in your department. 1t would
seem to me that anything that could
xlke, the appointments out Of politics
Mould be a good step forward"
