DETROITS ARE BIG BOY TEAM Enthusiasm of Youth Ooze* in Every Move of Ty (iohli Aggregation in Training at Augusta. Uy JOHN KOSTKK C??yri?fet. 1*24. ?? Th< *?*?"?? j Aususta. March 13. ? Detro:t has a team of big boys. tx>ok them over. one after another, and the Impression ol boyishness gains on you. Age has not set In upon the-e -lien, wha have been gathered here to Bet ready for their annual fight against the New York Yanks for it is the New York team that i> again the target <>." opposition, as it ha* been for the last three years. The enthusiasm of youth oo7.es ou: of the Detroit players at every move they muke. They eat with enthusiasm, but not with greed. There Is none of the "bring it all lo me" about them. Some ball play ers. when they enter a dining room, begin to form their lips before they set half way to their seats. "Ready to ?jo. t;eor?e." and they mean it too. Ty Cotib says players of that typ are not so common since the war. Hall players have changed a lot since then, according to the Tiger manager. Some, who went over to the other side and returned have had the finishing touches of travel put upon them, he says. They ap preciate the difference between a meal on the table and a meal In the trenches. - The Itotroits are -a coayeorner team- That Is the kind of a team over which old managers never grow weary of talking. A cozy corner team Is one that gets down In one corner of the lobby of a hotel, lights up pipes and begins to talk baseball^ '1 he manager who has that sort of team can permit himself u nlglit off now and them. He knows that his players are dreaming of the days whon they will see the fans of their home city rushing for the home bound cars cheering and saying "they've won again." When you don't come through that way for them they are likely to get out the old tin bucket and throw raspberries! Into that. Of the new pitchers Detroit has taken on, there Is one of whom the Tigers speak respectfully thus early. | He is Whltehtll, a southpaw. who[ ttnds himself higher up than he ex-, pected to he ao early In life. Whlt.'-j hill has Ihe nmsslveneas of a right | hander in his upper chest, notes, whereas mnnv lefthanders art1 slight. I Whttehlll Is like l)auss In build and Dauss and Ills shoulders have done | a great deal In their way to hold De troit. The Detroit players say that WhlUliill has a curve like l)aus?. When a left hander can curve like the rlghthanded Dauss. he Is ap f.roachlng a condition of perfection, from the Detroit viewpoint. There Is another pitcher of whom the Tigers also speak respectively. HI* name Is Cole. "He may be the best lefthander In the American League In 1924." said a visitor. "Maybe he is." suhl one of the Ti gers. "Maybe he Is right now." It will be noted that clannlshnea* with the Tigers runs right through to the pitchers. They are as much with thi* boys as th'> Inflelders "Don't overlook Stoner," said Ar thur Shenhan. who travels with the Detroit* and looks after their com fort "Stoner Is back with us again. You nsk Fort Worth what they think of Stone-. He pitched them to the championship last year." "Detroit sent Stoner out for ex perience last year." I'm trying lo figure out." said Cobh. in speaking of It. "whether Stoner got the ex perience. or whether wo did. Any how. he got the games. If we had knt wn he was going to pitch a team Fort Worth into the pennant, maybo we would have kept him to pitch a team like Detroit Into the pennant." Oood, a left hander who was the minor league pitching wonder of Michigan last season, pitched him self loose somewhere In his lumbar regit n. All winter he has been try ing to find out what was loose. He aays he thinks the doctors have tagged It Oood won 11 games in succession for Bay City last season and altogether he won 20. while los lng only a handful.

Jv^'/VV'ZVV" \t1ifll Time In Precious Give l/c A Rirrff. The Apothecary Shop Phone 400 Mm FOR THE GAME'S SAKE} BY LAWRENCE PERRY New York. March 13. ? Is there a chance that some country other than the United States may win the 19 24 Olympiad? There Is. Some think it is not a had chanc ? eitner. .Many persons who are interested in sports insofar as they provide thrilling coin petit ion. but are un familiar with underlying facts and trends of various sorts, may be sur prised to hear this. As they view it. the United States always 1ms won the track and field games at the Olympics and will con tinue to do so. Thus, the great handicap placed upon us by the re sults of the winter sports at Cham orJx and defeats that will come in other branches of sport with which we y re not very familiar, will be m:ul" up and our prestige will re main unimpaired. Sad to nay there is no certainty as to thifc. The outcome of the winter sp irts last month Rave 'Norway the air rjzliiR total of 134- Vfc points. X* veitheless Norway is not to be re ga -(,'.*d us a dangerous customer at Pi:rls. A lot of the points going to m.-kf up the big total earned by the X' rwegians were won in the ski ev- nts in which the northerners ex cel. iJttle Finland with her 70-V2 points gained at Chamonlx. however, wll! be a real danger because she will come to Paris with a selected bard G-: some forty athletes, a num ber which Includes all the special ists who in the 1920 Olympiad gath orol^ns many first places as the American team gathered, to wit, nine. It Is quite possible that Finland might next summer win the honor of excelling the United States In the nufnber of fir?t places and if the competition with Great Britain, France. Italy and Sweden, is as strong as it now seems likely to be the American team might conceit* ? bly be obliged to yield first victory to the sturdy Finlanders. Certainly Finland is going to do a lot of scoring in the distance events and in the field specialties. From distances running upward from 1300 meters, the Finns, with the valuable assistance of Willie Kitola. will pile up many points. They even look for something to come out of their recent improve ment in relay racing, while in the pentathlon, the discus and the Jav elin everyone concedes . them to he most formidable. Americans ?vH! .vcognize not only Rltola but ' I* Kolehmalnen and Vlllar Ky r ?:ier. both of whom ran in this country for several years and per fected their form. They are strong prospects in the marathon, which by the way, Kolehmalnen won in ID 20. If we expect to win the Olym pics we must win the- track and field features at Colombcs. For while we are qualified to capture first places in a lot of sports siwh as tennis, golf, boxing and so on. our habit of specializing, developing stars at the expense of the general field, puts us in a sorry plight as concerns the winning of seconds and thirds. It $.?* here that the other nations may beat us despite the efforts of crur champions. Just at present the United States stands In fourth place In the Olym pic standing, the result of the win ter sports program.
