He has definite Ideas | I Sncwnlnf collie ball, and his dope ranks all the collegians fogether. 8 J w <th the exception of certain individual stars of the very rare sort. ate his notions concerning the rah rah aspirants to major league baseball is Class D baseball. Occasionally there are in dividual, who might have class A or even major league rating, but Hm 10 ic&rcc that W 6 don’t nood to bother with Th© bat ft that college pitchers oppose does not rank above what we call in ft organised ball a class D rating. The experience of these twirlers is Hr aa limited as that of youngsters coming from very minor leagues. I . aaii just like theee minor leaguers, they are not ready for the big ft* dWW They noit a©TT© th©lr time In th© faster minor leagues, and ttat is the way I intend to handle all these recruits. I think we have ' lonndet) np some material of this sort that will help us a lot in the ft,' next year or two. Trailing Cy Young’s Record. YOUNG doeen’t think there ever will be another pitching record Uk* ftis. The hero of 22 active year, in the major leagues didn’t make the aseertion In a boastful manner, but modestly expressed l%litalnloa to a fanning bee with Clark Griffith the other night at Cleve- I ftMrib'fiad gave his masons. He bad gone with some downstate friends to ' Cleveland to watch the Indians play Sunday, and remained over a few Said this ancient miracle man of baseball . H "l doubt that any pitcher will ever even approach my record of ip towing won 600 games. Conditions have changed so much. There are I pitchers now, but you see, when I was piling up victor ia | fttwii pitching 40 or more gamee a year. We bad but three reg tin* pitchers to those days and I was called on more often than the lUfiMr, of the present time. |ft M |fathewson would have to keep on pitching until he was 50 yincs of age and be a winner, too. In order to tie my record. Walter Johnson might have a chance but he will bare to go about fifteen more K. years to do it, so I guess my record Is safe.*’ Hgrs' —— Young probably la right, but be is a bit ofT in some of his figures. Hilßatthowson would have to win 20 games a season for six more year, in £ ardor to complete a total of 500 victories in the majors. Then be would *%• 42 years of age and his term of service would be 22 seasons, tying that t of Cy. Perhaps Christy can’t win 20 games a year for six more seasons. L’ ft |n a each that ho won’t pitch that long If he can't. If heftshould have | ft good aiaoOh this year, however, his husky physique an<t -success as a I OtTitoglsa fhlght cony him through, particularly if McGraw should have a good hitting club all that time. ft ■ Johnson’s Chance Slim. r DOPE on Johnson Is not so bad. During the years that Walter Bp I has boon good, ho has been a wonder, but be has won only a few 1 more than M 0 gamee. Now he is normally a 30-victory a year :‘v * pitcher. Ho ha a nine seasons to the majors hack of him. Pitching gggnme yn ter 10 more years would bring him close to Young’s record. t; ; ftu~cant do that, however. Even if he does as Matty did—take thing, ft nnofor aa the years clamp brakes on his fast one—he cannot average more & then If victories a year over a term that will even approach the records of gs tbeoa other nWw twirlers. That, In fact, is a very complimentary esti r mil*-, oven If the Swede does turn out to be an iron man. It is certain to a toko Johnson 10 years more. He might make It in 12, and it is more likely r gat if he does become one of baseball's grand old men. he will not tie Young until It or 14 years have passed. That will mean that he will have | fMekod about as long as Cy. These estimates show Young careless in another of his statements He I Indicated that pitchers were not taking the mound as often as be did. It ! t < la tons that more hurlers are working in only 30 games than formerly, but ft la a fact that men of the calibre of Johnson and Matthew.on have been 4 habitually pitched to more than 40 games a season, just as he was. Young has not attempted to pitch for the past two years, when he gave np sandlot play At his Ohio home. He says that his arm 1. now & absolutely dead. Hope For Cunningham. THERE Is acme good news for our boy Cunningham in Johnson’s rec ord. This young Tiger 1* expected to become better each year for some seasons and eventually to prove one of the league's star. BE*. There are hall clubs to the majors that couldn’t be traded for ft- Jhhnaon now, yet It took Walter four seasons to become anything like a » trtener. In his grot season, he won 6 and lost 9 games In hl« second paaeon he loot 44 gamee. more than he has ever won in a single year, and E he OOgtnred only 14 games. As late as 1909. he lost 26 and won onlv IS R fIHBOO. Very ffpr good pitchers were as slow in developing as this king & if the slab. A Big Day for Soccer. SUNDAY will be a big day to Michigan soccer.

Behind him will march his Yankees, second In tho league s'andlr.g and extrerntly proud of their station in life. Here is an other club that the Tigers have not heer. able to defeat this year. Threo same* nsre scheduled In the east last month. It rained ono day. On the second, the clubs played a 16 inning tie On the third, the Yanks trimmed Tige. Manager Jennings has a pleasant little surprise awaiting the Honor able William at\i his cohorts, how ever. He plans to go right through the Yanks with Hamilton, Coreles kle, Dauss and Cunningham as artil lery chiefs. New York will bring seme new faces this season. A lad named GU* hooley will be In right field. He comes from Buffalo, and was rank ed last season as the best ball play er in the International league. In New York they thought C.ilhooley would be a second Wi lie Keeler, but the youngster ha.-n't batted dur ing the season as he did at camp. He is said to be a sweet fielder, how ever. Then there is Lee Magee, the firebrand of the Federal league, an other youth who Is not doing all that whs expected for him. The third man cn the batting IHt is Joe Gedeon. the second sacker. who came up from the Coast league. He was a whale cf a batter and a pepper> kid out at Salt but his batting has diminished steadily as the American season has pro gressed. The fourth man is Frank Baker, of home run fame, whom De troit has n°v<>r teen in a New York uniform Baker hasn't batted for New York as he did for Philadelphia, and there are Gothamites who think Paddy Baumann is os valuable a hot corner man as J. Franklin. The fifth man is "Wally Plpp. for mer Tiger and a first baseman who is improving so murh that he is fast becoming a star. Peckinpaugh again will bat sixth and play short. In left field and seventh place in the batting order will see Hughl© High, another former Tiger and sweet fielder. Nobody gets those flies any better than Hugbie. But he doesn’t hit so well as some others. Tbe catchers will be Nunamaker. with whom Detroit fans are familiar; j Walters, the rookie from the Texas league, and Alexander, a youngster who was with tbe club last year. Os the old pitchers. Caldwell, Fisher, fihawkey, Keating and Rus sell will be back. Among tbe new comers are Nick Cullop. Fed south paw; Mogridge, another southpaw who used to be wilt Chicago and who Is Improving rapidly, Markle. a battery mate of Walters from the Texas league, and L*>ve, a lad from the coast league who is the tallest player In the league. On the coach ing lines will be old Germany Bchaef er. beloved In Detroit In the cham pionship years. It will be ncted that there are many stars In this lineup who have been labeled disappointment a. Just why this Is true, and why it Is also true that the Yanks are so close to league leadership, Is a puz/i p s o which we do not hold the solution.

DETROIT TIMES DUBUC WILL FACE RED SOX That l«i Jennlngo’ Announce* ment For Final Game, If It Ih Played The weather has shot this Boston series all to little bits. Thera lan t a chance to play more than one game and there Ls a possibility that the final contest will be called off. Certain It ls that It can be played under no condiUons that might be deemed ideal. Both clubs are anx ious to get on the field this after noon. Two off days la enough to make any athlete restless Manager Jennings was bitterly disappointed because of the two-day vacation forced on the Tigers Just when they were hitting the high spots ’’Of course," said Hughey, yester day, as a mid-afternoon shower spoil ed the last chance for the game, "the Red Sox are here with a crip pled lineup and they never will be weaker than they are this week That doesn't bother me as much as might appear on the surface, how ever All that peeves me Is the fact that our team can't play when it is going so good. This thing of pick ing on weak teams when they are down frequently backfires. If the Tigers know that they must face the regular Boston lineup, they will en ter the game with lots of the old pep If they think they have soft picking, they are a bit prone to take things too easy." With the exception of McNally on second base. Carrigan expects to use his regular lineup today if the game is played Barry has been sent home to remain for two weeks. He is not at all well, and his health is a matter of great concern to Cam gan. Nobody knows who will pitch for the Red Sox. Shore, Leonard and Ruth are ready, and any one of them can be expected to make trou ble for the Tigers. The Detroit slab nominee will be Dubuc. according to a statement by Jennings last night. Hughey has all sorts of confidence In Jean, particu larly since that Washington game. Sam Crawford expects to return to his uniform at once He has been out to the park in uniform only a few times since the club returned home, being very stiff and sore be cause of a cold that settled In his back. Sam says that he la ready again, and expects to be on the job henceforth. He will not go to right field yet. because It would be folly to break up a winning combination As long as the team wins and Hell man hits, there is no reason why the experiment or making an out fielder out of Harry cannot go on Certain It Is that anew right fielder will be needed badly in a year or two, and Jennings cannot be too strongly fortified with developed ma terial. Sam will pinch hit for a while, and fill In If Heilman or Burns should falter. Western vs. Caao.
