Manager of theltro14 Team Thinks
He May Yet Win.
cicvoion - - sent. 7.- "The man
who calculates that Detroit has no
chance to win the pennant is dead
wrong," remarked Hughie Jennings.
He was naturally elated over the fact
that the Tigers are again in first place,
but he backed up his enthusiastic talk
with cold facta. "'"'"!.
"The Tigers hav a very good
chance," he continued, "and are han
dicapped in no way. The pitchers are
on edera. the, hatters are hitting and
the bova am working together like
btavers.
"I sincerely believe that If the Tigers
are able to start their second Eastern
invasion at first place with a 'sad of
two or three games, the Athletics will
never be ahl to overhaul us. I have
confidence that the team will remain
at the top.
"The long stretch of home games In
Philadelphia, 30 in all, should be of a
great advantage to the athletics, but
they are going to get some awful bat
tles in their ball yard. Chicago, Cleve
land and Detroit will make them step
all the time. If they can win repeat
edly from these clubs, the- will cer
tainly seal the Tigers' doom, so far as
the flag is concerned, but I can't see
how the Athletics can hope to mow
down the three strong first-division
teams. It's possible, of course, but not
logical."

St. Louis. Mo.. Sept. 7. John J. Mc-

This is the positive statement made
by Stanley Robison last night, wnen
the Cardinals made a bad start last
spring and fell back to the tall-end
position local fans and critics began
locking for the cause. McCloskey was
fallen upon as the reason and for
time it looked as though he would
be driven out of the city. But leader
John got busy and sought to show that
with proper material he was capable
of doing something. He began by lop

for a number of them had their eyes
set on Mr. McCloskey's job. Today
there is only one man on the Cardinal
pay roll who was here when McClos-
Key took the reins, xnat is .noeisKoet-
ter or Hostetter. Only two, Byrne, at
third and Capt. Holly at short, are
now playing who started this season
with the club. Almost every man play
ing for McCloskey is a youngster and
Stanley Robison believes this bunch
of recruits will develop into winners If
given the chance.

makes his mark aa a baseball player."
observed Manager Armstrong, of the
Miners. "The college boy may shine
In rare cases, but the farmer lad us
ually develops Into the brilliant play
er. Many of the baseball stars of to
day were reared on the farm. Many
of the best players in the world were
brought up on corner lots In the slums
of the big cities. A few of the leading
players were college men, and there
are players in many of the larger
leagues who spend their winters prac
ticing law or medicine. But you do
not find many professional men
among the ranks of the players. When
winter comes, most of the ball players
take up hard -manual work, in order
to keep in good condition for the next
year. The early training for the
farmer boy stands him in good stead
if he chooses ball playing a his life's
work. The hard knocks of his young
er years have toughened him and, as
everyone knows baseball playing Is no
snap; it Is hard, hard work."
