point of view and nio all figuring on a
possible chance of the first division,
though none of them has jet swelled
up enough to lay any claim to a cham
pionship.
The day must be consider and as more
valuable for the significance of its
main sporting event, than from the
real result of the clashes, due to tak?
place at the respective fields where
games are scheduled.
The Tigers wind up their season of
exhibition games in Columbus today,
with a game against the club that has
usually, up to last year, been the chain
plop aggregation of the fastest minor
league in creation. Sug<s and Speer

hopes and prayers of the local sane

there are still lingering hopes Hat h*

Tigers who, as everyone who has fol

must admit, look by lar the best team
that has represented Michigan's me

It isn’t’ necessary to make etcuse-s

MORIARTY BETTER
PLAYERJN 1909
They Never Knew He Could Throw
and Field As He Has Since Joining
Tigers—Browns Give Credit.
TOLEDO. 0.. April 10—There
l is no denying the fact that the
big hiirprise of the Detroit q*ub’s train
ing trip has been the wonderful .play
in the Held of George Morlarty, the
new Tiger thlrd-sacker. Moriarry wa*
purchased from New York at a prior
which showed that the Detroit bas->
bail club’s management had » very
high regard for his ability. Since
joining the team, however, he has
shown such a line of goo-is that it
will surprise none of the men ♦ n th.
big < lub if he closes the year acknowl
edged as the best third baseman u
either big league.
Morlarty has shown ground-covering
ability second to none, his throwing
hus been a source of comment wher
ever the team has played, there is :iu
I ball too hot for him to handle and
his base running lias been superfine.
Best of all. be has been amLitiouh.
earnest and willing. No mur. has
fought harder than he for a Detrob
victory at times when strenuous mea,-
ur**s se«-med neeessaiy.
Tom Jones, the long headed first
baseman of the St. Louis Browns.
Bob Ganley, the captain of the Wasn-
I ington Senators; minor league fights
palore. and sporting writers wherever
the team has played. Join In praising
the work of Morlarf ' and heapijg up
the estimates of the added strength
he has brought to the club. Jones'
remarks were#typical.
, "Your club locks to be a lot strong
er this year with Morlarty.' was bis
unsol.cited testimonial, 'T've always
thought him a goou ball play* r. but
li never yet saw him play as he piayed
against us this spring. If ho holds
the cl*p he ought to have a grand
year.”
Morlarty himself admits Hat !-e has
never started a season In Mich condi
tion since he gralvatod fro.u th
minors.
“My gymnasium work this winter
helped me some, I guess." ho com
|mooted. “But I think what has he.p
c*d most has been the Interest l’v Q

I c hance at last—something Vve never

most of it. Three vears a utility ma.t

j date. 1 believe I’m fit for something
better, and I’m doing my best to
1 prove it.”
It is a sober statement of fact that
I there is not a single member of tne

president of the Pope Manufacturing
Cos., of Hartford. Conn., for the pur
chase of the mammoth Pope-Toledo
manufacturing plant at Toledu. Ohio.
The Pope-Toledo fa tory Is conceded
to be one of the largest and best
equipped automobile manufacturing
plants in th.- United States. It com
prises 2 4 building* of modern construc

fob* Mae* >it v» fr** Ouiigernua—
Determined to make the western
stock chassis race for the Cob* trophy
next June the fastest road race ever
held In this country, the contest com
mittee of the Chicago Automobile club
ha* resolved to alter the position of
the course sufficiently to eliminate sev
eral sharp turns which would have
served effectually to dimlnsh the uver-
Uge pace
f By building an entirely new road,
one mile In length, connecting the east
and west legs of the course, the rac
ing cats will not pass through frown
Point, as hail originally been planned.
Crown Point residents made no objec
tion to this use of their streets. They
wern entirely willing to have their
thoroughfares boarded up, and to give
the racing cars right of way. Hut
there were two right angle turns
which could not b»* avoided if the cars
went through the city. Therefore the
committee decided to utilize part of Its
$35,000 road Improvement fund In
building anew highway.
Other minor changes In the course
1 reduce the total number of turns from
11. as originally mapped, to 12, De
tailed surveys of the ground prove that
It will l.e an easy matter to place the

TIGER ROOTER NEARLY
DROWNED AT TOLEDO
One of Justice Teagan's Followers Had
Unexpected Bath in Maumee River.
What cm me neur being a trngeuy at
tended the lake excursion of ITger
ri*oters to Toledo Sunday. One of the
rooters bclotigiug to the party led
by Justice Teagan and "Paddy" Me*
draw fell lino the Maumee river aa
the Frank K. Kirby reaching her
dock and na« rescued only utter the
most desperate efforts and then badly
soaked and chilled and with a cut In
the side of hla head.
Owing to the hilarious spirits of the
crowd the incident did not attract the
attention It otherwise would have and
the bedraggled chap was hustled to a
carriage and taken to a hotel without
anv one trying to get hlB name.
Justice Teugan was the reigning
monarch of the excursion, and Me-
Graw was his prime minister. They
had a band of musicians w-ho had
Home difficulty In seeing their music,
but did not spare noise for that rea
son. Owing to the fact that the bar
of the boat was open continuously,
the band did not have any monopoly
of noise making, the fans making theli
own pandemonium In all parts of the
boat.
By the time that Toledo was reach
ed some of the merry-makers had al
most forgotten that they were going
to a ball game.
After the game had been played and
lost by the Tigers, the rooters reas
sembled and. with Justice Teagan and
McGraw marching ahead with bared
heads, the band played as close to a
dead march as it could.

cording to the announcement of Dal H

Detroit at the Ponti and the
announcement quoted abovr was the
most important part of his address to
the assembled mot« csts and experts.
The cause for the mange Is ihe fact
that Independence day will be oele
hrated this year on July 6—the origi-
nal date set for the start of the tour
It did not seem wise to lumu two such
important affairs mid the postpone
ment was the result of a conference
letween Chairman Mower, of the tour
ing hoard, and Reveral of th * most im
portant members of the organization
The effect will be to give Detroit one
week more for preparation for the
event. It will also enable a greater
centralization of Interest locally and
allow the manufacturers who stand
behind the run to secure locally the
largest possible benefit from the pub
liclty which the gathering of so largo
a number of expert drivers and up-to
date cars will give.
Mr. Lewis predicted that the tour
of 1909 would bo by all odds the
largest and most Important In the ht:i
lory of the event which has played a
leading partln motoring for the past
six years. A careful review of the
situation enables him to estimate that
at least 100 cars and, In all proba
bility. considerable more than this
number, will take on *♦ In the event.
On Tuesday nigh: the Detroit com
mon council will oe asked by Mayor
Breltmeyer to pprop.iate lu the neigh

providing a Detroit trophy to reward

We Are Eager to Begin Making
Men’s Spring Suits to Order
It makes it easier for us, than to have all the men come
at once, when the weather gets warmer.
It is better for the man who plans ahead, for he not only
has the first choice of an unusually varied stock of brand
new materials but he has the comfort of knowing that his
suit is waiting for him to put on whenever he chooses to order
it sent home.
Men who like fine cloths will be interested in the collec
tion from America and Europe. Worsteds are in the lead—
hard finished, soft finished, medium finished. Grays are most
popular, most of them with a tinge of blue, the color next
in favor.
We are confident of the satisfaction our custom tailoring
will give. Men have our guarantee of correct style and ex
cellent fit—and the workmanship, trimmings, finish, are above
cavil.
Sack Suits—Special at S2B, S3O, $32, $35 and S3B. Meas
ures taken now, ami the suits held for delivery when desired.

uot recognised officially, the Gliddeu
trophy being for touring cars and the
Hower for roadsters. The trophy was
offered some time ng-. by the Detroit
Automobile Dealers' association but
Chairman Hower was loath to accep.
it from a trade source If any opposi
tion develops in the council the trophy
will be presented ftom another source
but It is agreed that the most graceful
donor would be the municipality.
The Detroit trophy Is. however, an
assured fact already.
With Mr. Lewla in the E-M-F car
which left Detroit today, bound for
Chicago, were E. Leroy Pelletier, o'
the E M-F advertising staff; W. A.
Krohn. representing N. Lazernlck. the
official photographer, and George Mela

on the run as pilot.
Mr. Lewis will, ns usual, compile
road knowledge enough to furnish the

accompany the run.
