Chicago, Aug.-Wnat did Bill Terry think of the Detroit Tigers:
 "They ought to build bieacher fences at Navin fled, and out into commercial-m manager of the New York Giants. The place seats only 29,000, and that's no place to play world series in q city as hot for baseball as De- troit, and especially when the op- position is the Giants.
 "The Navins ant make a county fair out of a world series, you know. They wouldn't have stood people in the outfield during the ing the Giants. l wouldn't have stood for it.
 ''They tell me that there was no were plenty of seats in the stands land outfielders chased fly balls that on one occasion, Babe Ruth actually stood autographing a ball while one he should have had his CyC OIl SctllCu III ullSStlOll CAN BE PITCHER TO.
 The question was repeated What did Terry think of the Fig CTS?
 "Oh, they can be pitched to-" said Memphis Bill, all except Charley Gehringer. who is just plain tough. And, on second thought, haven't such good picture of Greenberg, who cer- tainly has come on. I thought Bucky Harris should have used Greenberg d year ago last spring, and told him so.
 But the rest of them can be pitched to. including Goslin and Mickey Cochrane. 1 don't mean to say that Goslin and Cochrane aren't exceptionally fine hitters.
 "Goslin is remarka ble money player. Clark Griffith got mad at me last winter when, atfer he swapped Goslin for John Stone, told interviewer in Washington that the Senators had traded themselves out of the Americari league championship.
 Pitchers can't be wobbly and get Goslin and Cochrane out, but they can be pitched to neverthe- less.
 You will recall that we played exhibition games with the Tigers returning from the coast in the spring of 1883. That series gave us good line on the Detroit clut as whole.
 Il have an idea that the Yan. kees would give the Giants harder battle in a world series than Detroit. In my opinion, the Cardinals are better club than the Tigers"
 How about Schoolboy Rowe?
 A .corking pitcher" asserted Terry, but when Cochrane gives us Rowe, we'll give him Carl Hub bell, and l don't believe we'll get much the worst of it there." THE OLD COLLEGE TRY
 What struck Terry as the prin- clpal reason for the Tigers'p he- nomenal rise from poor fifth in SS to pennant pursuing outfit?
 Spirit and speed" said Mem- phls Bill. The stolen base col uiHH makes the Tigers appear much faster than the Giants, but we hit and run lot.
 A splendid esprit de corps has had most to do with putting the Detroit team across. The Tigers are hiding the. wave we rode a year ago-the one we are still riding to a great extent.
 The difference in my club is that it now goes about it's busi- ness with the assurance of a cham pion. My team of 1888 was the greatest ever saw in one respect. It believed it could do anything and went out and did it.
 The Tigers believe in Cochrane and themselves. Talk of Mickey guessing right all season is ridicu- lous. The Tigers just go out and dothings because he has them ribbed up before they start.
 There is nothing quite like the good old college try in baseball. The successful manager i sthe one who instills it in his men, and keeps it there for six months and 154 games"
