TIGER PITCHERS ONLY VETS
WHO MUST FIGHT FOR JOBS
The Time* herewith presents to the
baseball public the complete reserve
Hot of the Detroit baseball club, an
filed with the national commission uh
requited by rule, early lu the wlulei
The Hat has been supplemented by
one name—that of George Mo.iart)
aecured for a big bum h of cash from
New York.
Front these men will be drawn the
‘ team of lUOtf. lu all probability but
tone name will be added, this a minor
league pitcher for whom the club has
been negotiating for some time.
The list contains a maximum of 35
men, of whom about 26 will be taken
south. #
How many will survive?
I (,ast year the Tiger management
carried In the neighborhood of 22 men
all year and, though only nine of them
are required to play the average game,
| the same number will not be fur out
of the wav this season. In other words,
about a dozen or 13 heads must fall
! Into the basket In the time that in
‘ terveneg between the filing of the list
and May 15 —the dute at which most
| big league clubs may be considered . s
squared away for the hard race
Os course, the Hat does not now to
; tal exactly 35 men. Manager Jennings
has already swung his snickersnee to
a certain extent and several decapita
tions have taken place. The list has
I been formally reduced by the follow
jitig subtractions:
IRA THOMAS, catcher, sold to the
Philadelphia Athletics.
CLAYTON PERRY, infiebler. sold to
Little Rock.
O. O. STERZER. left handed pitch
er. sold to Wilkesburre.
Thirty-five little ball players, lined
up before our Hugh; three drew the
can which left juet thirty-two.
But the formal disposals of players,
mentioned above, do not Include all
the weeding out which the club haa
done. It bus already been decided
that several more of the members
still technically under reserve will
not accompany the team when it
starts for the land of the lone stat,
the long horn and the lariat. It Is
not yet certain, however, where these
men will go. Those fated to figure In
pre-season deals of syrne sort are,
however the following:
GEORGE COCK ILL, Inflelder.
MAURY CORNS, pitcher.
I WILLIAM COUGHLIN. Inflelder.
MERTEN’S, outfielder.
Thirty-two little ball players waiting
for their fate; four go to glory, which
leaves twenty-eight.
But there are two men still on the
list who are almost certain to lie ab
sent when the bell rings. One of them
Is Pitcher Frank ''Red” Donohue, who
Is still a Detroit bull player, though
not working at the Job much of late.
It doesn’t cost anything for the De
trolt club to write Donohue a name
among its assets every fall, and that
is all that Is necessary to keep him
where, when he gets ready to play
again—If he ever dost—he will have
to make his peace with President Na-

vln. At that, Donohue hasn't got the
fans guessing to the extent of the
speculation regarding Jim Jeffries.
Also. It is rather Improbable that
Inflelder Jerry Downs will ue long
with the Tigers, though he may be
taken south for the spring trip, In
order to get Into shape.
Twenty-eight little ball playere, their
feelings in a mix; two drop by the
wayaide and there are twenty-six.
From these 2H men Hughle Jennings
will pick the team which all Michigan
hopes and believes will bring buck a
third championship In the American
league race
VIRTUALLY THE ONLY ELIMIN
ATIONS THAT WILL REMAIN
MUST HE THOSE OF PITCHERS—
COLTS IN ALL PROBABILITY.
There are 11 heavies in the Texas
party and three or four will undoubt
edly be lost In the shuffle. O'Leary
may give Bush a riffle for the short
stop position, but won't force Charlie
off the payroll, no matter how well he
may develop. Though Kllllfer seldom
gets a chance to show, the Tiger man
agement knows his ability and consid
ers his presence a fortification well
worth while, even If he never gets a
chance to butt Into the regular games.
Incidentally, there Is a marked pa*
culiarlty evidenced In the Detroit re
serve list. It Includes no less than
five Georges, of whom four are cor-
CRIGER SIGNS WITH
BROWNS. SAYS REPORT
(St. Louis Star.)
President Bob Hedges, of the Bt.
Louis Browns, has reached an agree
ment with Lou Crlger, the veteran
catcher whom he secured from Boston
through a trade by which Ed Spencer
goes to Beanapolls.
"I have Crlger'a signed contract In
my desk, and he will be a member of
the Browns ror two years, at least,
as w-c have reached an agreement lo
that effect.”
This little statement on the part of
the Browns’ boss will be a very ac
ceptable bit of news to St. Ixnils fans
BAUMGARTNER
tainties on the team, Moriurty being
the latest of the family. If President
Navin keeps on acquiring athletes of
this lurname, the effect of yelling
"George!” in the Tiger club house
will be similsr to the sensation cre
sted in the Chicago council chamber
when a man stuck his head through
the door and screeched "Your sa
loon’s on fire!”
It is a matter of sober history that
tin- meeting Immediately broke up in
a panic.
Another interesting feature of the
icuerve list Is the reminder that lie
trolt still has a player's contract with
Manager Hughle Jennings. Os course,
In all probability, Hughle can ha\e his
ri lease if he ever wants it—which,
heaven, grant, will he a condition nor
to be faced In the next 20 years.
Nevertheless, any other club wanting
to do business with him will have to
satisfy Detroit's management before
starting anything.
A LIVELY WEEK
IN BASKETBALL
From present Indications the wrook
of Feb. 9-16 will be by all odds the
liveliest of the season up to date in
Detroit.
Feb. 9 —Notre Dame at D. A. C.
Feb. 11 —Michigan at Y. M C. A.
Feb. 15—I). A. C. at Y. M. C. A.
This program will give the devotees
of the fast Indoor game a view of
each of the two "big" Detroit teams
in action ugalnst a strong outside op
ponent and then one clash in which
the local pair will start their annual
struggle for supremacy.
The D. A. C.-Notre Dame game,
which will be played in the club gym
nasium, will bring to Detroit a team
which, in its own gymnasium and
playing college style, simply snowed
under the strong Chicago Centrals by
the score of 25 to 8. And the Chicago
men had no great trouble in defeat
lng the Detroit "Y.”
The Y. M. C. A Michigan game will
very possibly have a strong bearing
on the state championship, now held
by the Detroit aggregation.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Jan. 21.
Jim Jeffries decided today to accept
theatrical engagements that will tako
him for two weeks through California,
after which he will be sent east the
latter part of February, opening either
in New York or Chicago.
"From guarantees that have bean of
fered," said his manager tonight, "Jeff
ries will be able to make SIO,OOO dur
ing these two weeks in California. It
Is estimated Jeffries will spend at
least 20 weeks on the stage.
