Cochrane never has called his team
a great one.
81 worked on a team Of Connie
Mack's that was called great, from
1929 through 1884," he says.
Great teams are all pretty
much alike. They're good
enough to win from the teams
In their league. That's the way
with the team I got now"
You cannot rank these Tigers with
the Yankees of 1927, or the White Sox
Of 1919, or the Giants Of Matty's day,
or the Aethletics of the 100000 in

But the grapefruit farmer with the

he called them a great team.
They'll always be that, If they never
win another pennant.

Argument, Train Of Thought.

THIS remark started an argument
- among the boys at the bar, who
were growing warm over their pine
apple phosphates and beer (3.2 after
sundown). It also started a train
Of thought in your correspondents So
called mind.
Here are the Detroit Tigers. They
have an excellent chance of winning
their third straight pennant, yet no
one has ever rated them among the
great teams Of all time. Why not?
Last Spring, after the men of Coch-
rane had won their first flag and
barely lost out to the Cardinals in the
series, the experts called them lucky
and picked Cleveland to win the pen
nant, with the Yanks as runners-up.
Your correspondent admits, with o
modest blush, that he predicted sec
ond pennant for the Tigers. Still, he
didn't call them a great team. Nobody
did.
The fact is that they are not
y great team, In the dope-sheet
sense Of the phrase.
Sitting down and thinking them
over, you are shocked by their short
comings. They have only two really
great players, catcher and second
basenan. Their first baseman Is q
Ane hitter. but clumsy in the field.

LIKELY TO SWEEP
SEVERAL EVENTS
Can't Be Matched on Paper
by Other Countries in
Dashes and Jumps. q.
BY FRANCIS ]. POWERS.

A MEXICAN colored athletes seem
~ sure to be prominent in track
~ and field events in the 1885
Olyrnpics at Berlin. No less
than 10 stand an excellent chance Of
winning berths on the United States
squad and Of collecting points in the
international games.
Leading the colored contingent Is
Jesse Ovens Of Ohio State, who holds
the world records for the 220-yard
dash and the broad Jump and has
tie for the 100-yard dash. The Olympic
sprints are run to metric measure-
ments, but that will make no differ
ence to Owens. Other great colored:
Sprinters are Ralph Metcalfe Of
Marquette, who starred in the 1882
Olympiad at Los Angeles; Eulace'
Peacock of Temple University and Ben
johnson of Columbia. Peacock also
is a broad jumper and second only
to Owens in that event. 70
Crutter Betters Record. .-...
NUMEROUS colored high jumpers
= are coming from all parts of the.
country. Recently Gilbert Crutter, O.
sophomore at the University of Colo
RADIO, jumped feet 87s inches in an
indoor meet and that leap broke the
present recognized record of feet 81s.
inches held by Walter Marty of Fresno
State. -.
It is reported that Ed Burke, a.
freshman at Marquette, has jumped
6 feet 9 inches in practice and is con-
sistently over feet 8 inches. Cornie
Johnson of a California Junior coll.
lege is another fine high jumper and
competed in the last Olympiad while
still in high school. He can do better.
than feet Z. Still other dusky high.
jumpers are Al Threadgill of Temple
and Albritton, sophomore at Ohio
State University. Seven feet is not
an impossibility in the games at
Berlin. -
Fritz Pollard, jr., son Of the famous
Brown University halfback of pre-
war days, is 1ashy hurdler and in
training at North Dakota University.
Pollard also completes in the pole
vault, but the high hurdles are his
speciality. He is not the best in the,
country, but good enough to have a
chance for membership on the Olympic
squad.
Sweep Seen for United States. :
CALVIN BECKETT, another Mar
quette student, is showing consid-
cradle ability as a 1,500-meter runner
and Billy Luvalle of University Of
California at Los Angeles is recog-
niZed as one of the best quarter -milerS
in the country. Willis Ward, Mich
igan graduate, is training for the
decathlon and also may try in the
hurdles and broad jump. 49,.
With these boys on deck, the United.
States should sweep the Olympic
sprints, the broad jump and high jump
without much difficulty. No other
country can match Owens and Met
calfe as sprinters, Owens and Peacock
as broad mpers-although Japan
may figure strongly in that event
and Our team should take the first
three places in the high Jump. -
America has produced some great
colored track stars in the past-How-
ard Drew, Sol Butler, Dehart Hub
bard, Ed Gordon and Eddie Tolan, to
mention the most outstanding-but
never before has the colored race
turned out such legion of outstan6-
ing stars.

keenness. created by its manager, its
native city and the temperaments Of
its individual members. The Tigers
are not a pep club or rah-rah club.
The Cardinals and last years Cubs are
more on that order. The Tigers are
quiet and pleasant-mannere even
sophisticated, as ball clubs 60. What
sets them apart is a sense of purpose
that becomes electrical when the path
is rough.
Flag Seen Detroit Fixture.
IRON the moment they hit first
place in the American League in
1884 the Tigers have been possessed
with the idea that the pennant belongs
in Detroit and no place else. They
regard 1t as a standard item of the
city's equipment. So do the fans.
The loss of the flag now would be like
an attack by a foreign power, or a
siege of the city. It would call for
mass meetings in the public squares
and solemn conclaves among the city
fathers.
I guess Mickey Cochrane has a per-
ception of this, because he operates
the club on sort of "for God, for city
and for Navin Field" policy. OF
course, there also is the matter Of
series dough. And, of course, Mr..
Cochrane doesn't speak in the terms
I've used above. He doesn't even think
