The Case of Tiite.
NOW FOR the running Jump 1 Detroit is depending upon tbe grea'
os* bitting outfield assembled m modem times As -miters of the
horsehide, the Crawford-Cobb Veach trio is not ezcelled. Alreadv
(he problem of having a man ready to step into C rawford * piace
tiaa presented Itself. Th- shift may have to b- made neit season is
SO years of age. Veach will be 29 m 1917 No one know- how long th-e«
iwo will last without faltering Certain Uis that the club would be backed
up plumb n if thi. 4 outfield should wilt alt at onc«.
The infield is composed of Bums. Vltt. Bush and Y our.g. None of 'he#e
fellow - are kidiv. All but Bush are just at their prime L»onl« will be 29 this
pMMoa. That is nearly second childhood for a shortstop who can't tilt
much Bush is still a conflagration ou» there in shorfield, but the minu*«
those legs of his wobble, he must b- replaced The catchers are S*anage
and Spencer. Both are more than 30 years of age Covefeskie. the demon
of the pitching staff, will be 30 in 1917.
The Breakup Nearly Due.
BY THE natural law that d-al« wth th* rise ar 1 f: ! of bs:. -an
Tigers have no more Than two .--aaons ahead of them in which th*v
can keep up the hot pace th-y hav* -*■' during thwir pa*t two
l]lM ii M _i: season- Investigation of th- roster r*v*als ’hat the tndlTlduai cog
of the Jennings machine are nearing th- time when they must slow up The
ige llfhit on ball players is being shoved back th-ee days, but even then a
majority of the Tigers are nearing the end Th-re wrill be exemptions, but
not all of the e«ts can stick by the guns much longer, and r will take only
one or two kinks to ditch the Tig-r buss in the** (iav« of buxzalong com

If there should be recruits at harid for -m-rgen-v r.«- on theorv th*

The Big Year i* Here.
THE POINT Is this. The break Is not mor* than two years di“ J ant.
‘ Kiceptlonal fortune will be Tlge’s if th- present dr»esn t be
