SAN ANTONIO, Tex.. March 29 -
Once more it begins to look cert a t
that Oeorgo Mullln. that Irrepressib c
pitcher of opening games, will be th.
athlete to take the firing line on April
14, that eventful day when the Tigers
•tart playing the game* ‘hat count,
with Bennett park crowded, and the
Chicago Whttesox in the hostile role.
Mullln la in better physical condition
than at any time in the past five years,
haa terrific speed, is coming along

ULLIE DAY LIKES
TICER CHANGES
SAN ANTONIO, Tex., March 29.
The 1909 Tigers look mighty good to
AJlle Day, that well-known Detroit
sportsman having spent several days
here with the team, looking over the
men of whose physical condition he
!wae several seasons ago the mentor.
Day and Mrs. Day are on a pro
longed honeymoon trip ai.d stopped
off at San Antonio on their way home
from California, where they have
spent most of the winter, Allie is
getting positively obese and will have
a lot of work to do in getting into
shape when he returns to his cozy
gymnasium at Monroe and St. Aubin.
“The Tigers look a lot different to
me without Bill Coughlin.” said Day,
“but I can see that they are a much
stronger aggregation. Tuthill seems
to hare them in flne shape, but I don’t
envy him his Job in the least, now.
U*i bard work. Many is the night I've
rubbed Coughlin’s sore shoulder from
dinner time till the breakfast bell
chimed out, down in Augusta. No
more of that for me.”
Another Detroit uattve who has
been looking them over is Murray
Raymond, the lightweight wrestler
who U9ed to meet them all from Bille
tef down. Raymond drifted into the
automobile game, tested a while fir
the Packard and is interested out
here with ar San Antonio society man
named Piper in a prosperous sales
room. handling the Apperson and
Velio.
An ambitious „ wrestler over nt
Dallas bas been g-tting gay and.
though he Is considerably larger than
Raymond, the ex-Dc*roiter I e likely to
go over and take down'his pride a bit
one of these days, just for fun.
Comiekey Was Up Too Late.
SEATTLE, March 27.—Charles Co
mlskey, owner of the Chicago White
sox, got a touch of high life Friday
morning, when he rode to the police
station In the “hurry-up wagon." The
“Old Roman” was arrested for violat
ing the 1 o'clock closing ordinance in
company with John Agnew and John
Burns. John T. Ireland, manager of
the case where the arrest took place,
put up the bail for the whole party.
Manager Dugdale, cf the local team,
who gave the dinner to the party,
was also included in the number.
Frlendß of Comitkey in the city
claim that the whole matter was a
Joke put up on the boss of the White
sox. But the fact remains that C*>-
miskey is sore over the whole affair
especially since he promised to bring
his team to Puget Sound m 1910.

Something Unique for Edgar
To Spring on Broadway Soon
By PAUL H. BRUSKE.
SAN ANTONIO. Tex.. March 29 —That Irrepressible sport, Edgar
Willett, "Kansas Cyclone," the ' Wichita Wonder," and. Incidentally,
the most elaborate dresser on the Tiger squad, has made an invest
ment down here which will ensure him the privilege of appearing on
Broadway, when the Tigers strike New York on their first eastern
awing, with an article of attire which will be absolutely unique
Mr. Willett purchased from a picturesque street vender the other
evening a beautiful tie, the basic material for which had been
snatched front the quivering form of a rattlesnake —one of Texas'
least advertised products, though one met >\tth, according to report,
almost anywhet'e In the suburbs, .lust whnt glass of fashion ever
concelvW The Idea Is not known. Someone, however, had combined
the hide of the snake with a backing of bright red silk, sewed life
whole In the form of a tie, |>ermanentlv knotted and decorated the
ap4x with a chaste bouquet of the deceased reptile's rattles The
apparatus is Ingeniously arranged to fasten on a pin. the point of

the neat but not gaudy creation of the sagebrush haberdasher.

his thumb on the Interlocking apparatus and feared his end had

mates, and. all otner things being
equal, deserves the chance from that
distinction.
Still another point must not be for
gotten. Mullln Is the only Detroit
pitcher to win a world's champion
ship game, his victory over Pfeister
last fall being the only victory the
Tig* rs have scored in their ten at
tempts.
Os course, nothing but the direst
straits could force Jennings to using
any of his recruit pitchers on such in
occasion. Donovan nnd Killian are
out of the question, also. Summers
is really the only pitcher who could oo
considered Mullins rival for the hon»r
of twirling the opener, and Eddie has
been working very • aslly of late, on
account of his swollen knee. Whi'e
the injury is not ft -a moment ex
pec ted to materially afTect his woik
in the coming season, it will retard his
assignment to regulrr duty.

should be an easy choice a-* opening
dav heaver, and It’s Just as good a
bet that Charlie Schmidt will be the
catcher.
The rest of the team can, of course
be picked right nov\ barring second
base, where Capt. Schaefer will play.
If he can only rid himself of his var
ious ailments in time to get strong

Pitcher Wood Makes Good.
MEMPHIS. March 27.—After Pitch
er Wood, secured bv the Boston Amer
icans from Kansas City, performed ic
Ms first game this season, Friday,
striking out eight local southern leaug
ers in five innings with no hits, Man
agr© Lake announced that he had de
cided to ignore all offers for the
youngster.
The first move to weed out player.'
was made today when Manager Lake

Cambridge, Mass., is the only
city in this country with a

baseball, and today is the only
city outside of Paterson. N. 1.,

Threat of the Knife Doesn’t
Frighten Tigers Any More
By PAUL H. BRUSKE.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, March 29-
No longer does the threat of an op
eration strike terror to the heart of
a baseball player. Instead, of recent
years there has become evident a feel
ing that, whenever it seems crtaln
that diagnosis is unquestioned, the
sooner the operation Is performed and
finished, the better will the situation
be from every point of view.
There has long been a tradition
among athletes that no m;tn is ever
himself again after an operation. Sev
eral instances of a stock character
have always been at hand of
who failed to "come back” after sub
mitting themselves to the surgeon's
knife. Often, convinced by this line
of argument, men hate postponed op
erations that wera undoubtedly ad
visible, until a time when the hos
pital assignment was accompanied
with far greater danger than would
have been the case had prompt action
been taken.
But the Tigers have al least four
exemplars of the theory that opera
tions, professionally performed and at.
the time when needed, do not lmpa ; r
a player's effectiveness, but do con
siderably improve it.
Perhaps the most prominent ex
ample of this condition is furnlsh-d
by Herman Schaef* r, the team's cap
tain.
For several years Schaefer fought
against hemorrhoid*, until, in 1907, his
trouble became so acute that he was
out of the game for a considerable
portion of the season.
That winter Schaefer was operated
on. He came through nicely, playe i

In 1906 Davy Jones, the Tiges' nifty
outfielder, slid to a base In Philadel
phia and was forced to throw himself
round an lnflelder in such a way as
to suffer a serious rupture of the ab
dominal wall. It w;»s genuinely fear

over. He came bacit to Detroit and
Instead of fussing round with me
chanical devices, underwent an oper
ation straightway. The next year
Davy was In shape. When Mcln
tyre's injury put him out of it Jones
went to left field, where he played 125
games, averaging nearly a run a game,
fielding his position with consummate
skill and playing a mighty part In the
winning of the Tigers’ first pennant.
He is now as good as new and never
thinks of favoring the side which wai
once Injured.
During his first vear with the team
Wade Killifer was stricken several
times with tonsilitis. His trouble
was diagnosed as chronic and the
Paw Paw boy advised to undergo ’in
operation. He did so, missed only a
few days from practice and has never
had tonsilitis since—a natural condi
tion when one recalls the fad that
Ihe has now no tonsils, anyhow.
Ty Cobb suffered a serious strain In
-1906 —his first year starting with tne
[Tigers. He kept .laving and. when
finally sent to the hospital, was In
such shape that a very delicate op
eration had to he performed. Ty

GREET JOHNSON
NEW YORK. March 29 —A bis
crowd of sporting men and followers
of pugilism gathered at the (iratul
Central station today to get a glimpse
of Jack Johnson upon his arrival from
Chic ago.
Long before time for the train to
pull into the depot a great tuob of
men and boys began to gather, all
anxious to secure an advantageous
spot to get a look at the big fighter.
Colored porters, bellhops and otheis
were on hand early, and while waiting
for Johnson to arrive they began io
discuss the chances big Jack would
have in a battle with Jim Jeffries.
Os course, the majprlty of them
could not see how Johnson couud lose
in such a battle, and there were many
heated arguments between some of
the colored men and white people
about the result of such a battle.
An extra squad of police was on
hand to keep back lh» crowd and also
preserve order, and tr.ey kept the peo
pie in line Inside the depot so they
would not obstruct the passageway of
i the people leaving the various trains
land also those arriving on incoming.

quip the Qther c.ay, after a hard
workout in which he had strenu
ously endeavored to rid himself
of the lameness following his

groan.
"Very lame?" asked one of

"I'm ho lam* it hurts me to
smile," responded the Georgian.
O'BRIEN WAS A
GALLANT LOSER
NEW YORK. March 29.—Philadel
phia Jack O'Brien is one of the great
est fighters of his weight that ever
lived. No one will dispute that who
saw hiR grand battle against Ketehel
the other night at the National club.
Think of a fellow who hns beeu out of
the game for two years Jumping in ami
battlink Ketehel to a standstill. He
did to Ketehel what Jim Corbett did
to JefTrles at Coney TNstand. In both
Instances the cleverer man weakened
before the heavy hitter and fell by the
wayside. It was a i.lorious defeat for
O'Brien.

'2'.. —If one Is 'o believe the evi
dence of something like u score
of photographs and half tones
which form a coushh rable part
of the big scrap-books which
Harry Tuthlll. the Detroit train
er. has accumulated. Harry has
a Jaw which ir made of hickory
ami copper-riveted at the joints.
Harry, as all the pugilistic
world knows, has trained many
famous pugilists, among them
Young (Iriffo. Willie Lewis,
Terry McGovern and Young Cor
bett. He is a boxer himself
and usually worked out with his
men. Whenever the photograph
ers visited camp. Tuthlll was
the man who posed with the
star, and on him the latter lav
ished his favorite punches for
the benefit of the camera man
who at that time gloried in that
sort of thing
Harry has stood up under
Young Corbett’s terrific pictorial
fusillades a score of times. All
the other hover-; mentioned have
handled him with similar rough
ness.
But the remarkable part of it
all is the fact that he doesn’t
show a Ringi»* sign of it in the
way of a scar. BRUSKE.
The basis of work in the commercial
vehicle line, now on tho farm. Is a
Packard three-ton truck.

CHOB BATURDAY.
SAN ANTONIO. March 29.—Just
three day* more at San Antonio and
then the Tigers break camp on the
initial stage of their Journey to the
northland where pennants are chased
—and wou The final game with San
Antonio Thursday, and that with the
collegian* at Austin Friday, have been
cancelled, and the Tigers will spend
those two days in Dullas Instead of
practicing with the local team and
getting ready for the Saturday and
Sunday series with the St. Louis
Browns.
it has been a very fine trip so far,
Capt. Schaefer's Illness being the one
bud point about it. Some of the oth
ers have had their training troubles
also, but It looks as if the lameness
will be gone before they get home.
Tigers Got R-r-reven-n-ge.
Sunday's game was notable for
three things—for Donovan's fl»st ap
pearunce on the mound, for the size
of the crowd and for the horrible anti
slaughterous way in which the Tigers
went out to take vengeance for the
defeat that was given them Saturday.
They slammed the Texas pitcuers nil
over the lot, they ran the bases IU a
way that gave the inflelders hysterics,
and they dually succeeded In putting
the whole herd of Bronchos away up
In the air.
Only once <1 id the Jennings trll>e
slip. Pitcher Willett, though perform
ing his celebrated specialty of making
the batters hit where the ball wasn't
i nu-st of the time, let down enough to
allow of four runs being scored in the
intervals of whitting batters.
How We Lost Saturday.
Pitcher Harris, of San Antonio,
should get a medal from the fans of
this city for beating the Tigers. The
game came to him as a tie and he
not only held the Tigers scoreless with
a deceptive curve, but batted out the
home run that left the final score 2 to
i 1 in favor of Snnlone. Mulllii, Killian
and Summers all worked for the Tig
ers and none of them showed their
1 best form, although they kept the hits
scattered. George Mtillin repeated a
; past performance well known by mak
ing the Tigers' one run possible. With
O'Leary on base and a long tty needed,
Mullin placed his bat against the scam
of the ball and arched it out far
1 enough so that the run scored.
