posed to be well beyond their prime In
Rice's remarkable batting has them
amazed, yet, 1t should not Sam Is one
Of the most consistent batters In base
ball. In fact he has been ever since
he came up from the Virginia League.
Sam has missed making the 800 class
but two or three seasons In his Is years
with Washington and several times he
has been his clubs leading hitter over
q campaign.
Judge keeps himself in splendid con-
dition by careful training. He Is one
Of the few players In base ball to ex-
ercise his legs outside of q game. Be-
fore each contest Joe goes through q
series of stunts calculated to timber
his underpinning and always takes q
turn around the park. Judge was In
huenced by watching foot bail players
jog UP and down In front Of their
bench before entering Q game. He flg-
ured 1t might be well for q ball player
the warm up his legs as well as loosen
his throwing arm before starting play
The plan certainly has worked In his
case.
vXTHILE the Tigers are not getting
w anywhere at present, they are
popular with Detroit fans. Earlier
In the season the base ball bugs here
were crying for Bucky Harris scalp and
asking Owner Navin to rebuild his club
Now they think Harris about the best
thing that ever happened in base ball
and cheer the Tigers madly. Crowds
home and every play by the Harris
horde gets q big hand. Detroit is
wonderful base ball town. II Navin
had a club up In the race he would
turn away lots Of money at the gate.
The Tigers are q young club. Out
side OF McManus at third and KoeniR
at short, the average Of the outfit Har-
ris now has In the field Is around "a
years. And 1t Is good young club, too
About all the Tigers now need to make
them a powerful club are two or three
consistently good hurlers. If Navin
can land them for Harris the Detroit
aggregation probably would make all
rivals look to their laurels.
MANAGER JOHNSON still is trying
4v1 to figure how to use Sam Jones.
Although the somber squire of
Woodsfield hurled only last Wednesday,
IN the double-header In Boston, he will,
with only three days of rest be sent to
the slab for the Sunday game here.
Manager johnson regards these Tigers
as especially dangerous now and wants
to send the best available pitching
against them. Pilot Harris is expected
to trot out Victor Sorrell, his clever
Highlander, for the third tilt of the
series. Sorrell has been travelling at a
fast clip lately. He beat the Mats when
they were here In June.
