Page Two SPORTING NEWS OF THE, DAY, GATHERED FOR THE DETROIT TIMES CHAMPIONS HAVE BEGUN F BELATED CLIMB AT LAST By PAUL H. BRUBK E. Whisper It lightly! Don t make It the occasion for any ribald rejoicing u yet, but —THE TIGKKS HAVE BE GUN TO CLIMB! When the rain began to fall and the play at Bt. Louis yesterday was brought to a close, befoie the team* had finished the seventh lnulng the score was 1 to 0 with Detroit on the long end. Eddie Summers had van gulshed Rube Waddell, had allowed but two bits and had received per feet support from his comrades from •tart to finish. The champions nad b hopped on the mighty southpaw of the opposition for one big run right in the first Inning on singles by Craw ford and Rossman and Cobb's double, *nd one of the most remarkable games of the season bad been wou right there, though this phase of the situation didn't develop until the rain put the proceedings on the blink. The victory in the opening game or the aeries pver the Browns was sig nificant In more ways than one of the returning form of the champions. It was the first shut-out victory acorod by tho Tigers this season, out of the 13 games played. It waa the first time this year that the ehamplona have beaten a left handed pitcher. It waa tha firat time that the team had won a victory following another victory. It was the first rise of the club in the league percentages where they Jtad been occupying eighth place. However, there Is still plenty of op portunity for climbing If the team la going to play a part of any particular prominence In the league race this Kfr* There are still six clubs to be pass- Bd before the lead can be attained. Immediately above the Tigers and but two games away Is now Jim Me- j Gulre’s Boston cldb, fast showing signs of a speedy blow-up, but occupy* fag ita present position largely as the -result of the fine spring form of old »Cy Young Beeton la the flrat club the Tigers Will -meet in the east. and. while the shift mey occur before the champions reach McGuireville, it is hard to see hew It can be put off longer than their vlelt. At present Chicago is occupying the fifth rung of the ladder, but there la no telling what club will be there When the Tigers start for It. At this 1 •tage of the race two games is the average margin between the clubs back of the three leaders. “FIRBT DIVISION BY MAY 30' is •till the slogan of the Tigers, bow ever, and there are unquestioned evi dences that this is more than an Idle dream, at any rate. Today Jennings and McAleer have each a choice of almost any man In their respective pitching departments. Each man is likely to work the twlri er who looks best to him and. as Mul 11m has not toiled since Friday, It woold he no surprise to see him pitted against the men who were being tout rod as pennant winners only a week /or no ago. And, If Hughle does not use an op portunity to cheer Eddie Summer* in •alien on the mound when the team comes back for that poetponed game 'With Cleveland Thursday, there will Bea sadly disappointed bunch of sane.

Two of our most il lustrious presidents were devotees of racing. Washington owned and raced thoroughbreds, and at least one meeting officiated as steward. And Ulysses S Grant yielded to no man In his love for the thoroughbred. Gov. Brown, of Maryland, goes every day to the training track and spends hours watching the work of the horses.

ENORMOUS SQUAD BEING DRILLED BMOST "HURRY-UP” COACH HAS 80 MEN ON FERRY FIELD REGULARLY AND PROSPECTS INDICATE A STRONG ELEVEN IN FALL. ANN ARBOR. Mich., May 6 Though baseball and track team* are now working out regularly, there la probably more local interest in the spring work of Fielding H. Yost’s Uni versity of Michigan football squad than In either of the more seasonable sports. Yost is daily drilling an enormous squad !u wimple formations and the rudimentary elements of the game. The present outlook Indicates that Michigan’s eleven will be an exceed ingly formidable one next year. The first call Issued by the coach for men to report for practice included the following: Waamund, Allerdlce. Schultz, Watkins. Flanagan, Miller, Roblee. Brennen, Owen, Green, Ben brook. Martin, Primeau, Moon, Walsh, Lamble. Riley. Ralach. Dymock. White, Shaw, Crawford, Hod son, Wells. Lane, Bush. Brentou. Legg. Craig. Torrey, Sullivan. Han son. While some of these men are busy with track and baseball work, their placet have been filled by other players, ao that the squad out every night Is composed of about 40 men. A list of 60 ellgibles has been pre pared and It shows no less than 32 of last year's varsity and reserve members. 14 new men who have done excellent work on other gridirons be fore coming here and 11 freshmen, whose work lust fall was conspicu ous. The M” men who will be members !of the squad next fall are: Schulz. I center: Watkins, fullback; Casey. I tackle: Waamund. quarter; Allerdlce. I halfback, and possibly Rheinschild, end. Os the sub men there are Doug i las. halfback: Millet, end; Flanagan, guard; Crumpacker, tackle, and Sul I llvan, quarter Davidson, who played jin the lko6 Penney game as tackle, and was not able to play last fall on account of college work, will be eligi ble next fall. There is plenty of chance for new material and plenty of material In «vl dence. For instance, Benton Harbor offers four lively candidates. Roblee, who starred ns half last fall on the scrubs; Owens, the big fullback star; Cunningham, who showed up well afl I quarter for the scrubbs. and Madlann, i who won his ”R“ as an end. The (scrubs will contribute Lehr, the sen j national F.sranaba half; Prlmeau, guard; the two Kellys, ends; Bren |nan. Cully. Ltnthicum, halfbacks; Pe iterson. fullback. Other experienced men whom residence rtiles have kept 'out before will be Benbrook, the Mor gan park shot-putter; Humphrey, *O6 Swarthmore, halfback; Rogers, quar terback, Jeffrey, Gilbert, Heitach, Car ver. linemen, weighing from 180 to I 200 pounds. Yost has looked longingly at Joe Horner, whose splendid physique, quickness. sprinting ability and strength In making him an all-around athlete, causes him to be regarded aa i material for a phenomenal football player. However, parental objections make Yost's sighs in vain and the root ers will have to be content In watch ing the Grand Rapids Isd win honors in track event*. 1 PRINCETON-CORNELL RELATIONS STRAINED ITHACA.

As soon as possible he dispatched a messenger i for Mr. Dodge, and the latter came to I court almost on the jump. I To relieve the captain s mind. Jus tiee Jeffries himself informed him that jno warrant would be issued right away. “Perhaps later," added the Justice “Well, let them go ahead and issue a warrant, if they want to,’’ observed the captain at this Juncture. “I’m not afraid of anything.

As for An-. nle Smith, 1 will say that she has al ways received courteous treatment j from the police and She has also been very decent in her attitude toward us. By that 1 mean that she has always closed up her saloon promptly on the hour and she has conducted an order ly resort. We have never had auy trou ble with Aunie on that score. Favor Wasn’t Wise. "But as for receiving presents from her, that's not true as fur as 1 am concerned. If she really gave Detec tive Favor that stuff, as she claims, what a fool he was to leave it lu the house. He might have expected they would search his place.” A jeweler named Ko9ter was a wit ness Tuesday. It is understood that he testified to a certain purchase made by Annie Smith, presumably a gift for a police official. Detective Favor’s examination on i the charge of blackmailing Annie i Smith was set for Tuesday morning, but owing to the fact that Justice Jes-1 fries Is still engaged in the grand jury investigation it was adjourned until May 12. The trial of Annie Smith on a charge of keeping a disorderly house was again postponed for two weeks. ME.TAKE f25 FROM cA WOSMAM? —FRANK B. HIBBI.EH. *1 only regret that a fight Is being j made to discredit me with aim of j hurting men who have been my friends.” This is the way that Frank B. bier, whose name has been mentioned dften in the course of Justice Jeffries’ grand jury investigation into the po lice department, sizes up the situation. “There is nothing in any of my deal ing that I am afraid to have looked into." he added. “I have speculated and made money at it. That seequs to be a crime when 1 do It.” Hibbler is a big man, frank in man ner and Inclined to be good-natured, and he does not seem to worry, per sonally, over the notoriety that the investigation has brought him. But he has been a friend of George P. Codd and Police Commissioner Smith, and the idea that attacks are being made on him to hurt these men is what he resents. His explanation of the Annie Smith piano deal is very simple. ’*l saved her $10(1 on that purchase and made a little bit myself.” he says. “It often happens that I hear of some one who wants to buy something that I can get cheaper. Is It wrong then for me to 6ay, ’Tell me Just what you want and what price you are asked and I will get the identical thing cheaper for you and make a profit myself?’ ”1 have done that lots of times, i make money buying and selling things. But It seems that automobiles and pianos were not made for a man like me to trade In. It's all right for some one else, but when I speculate it's a crime. "Os course, politics has nothing to do with that view-. Oh. no! "As for taking $25 from any wom an as graft—that would be big money for me, wouldn’t It? Does anyone that stops to think believe that 1 would take any risk of getting myself and friends in trouble for any such stake as that? Hardly.” Hibbler has the reputation of being shrewd trader and has acquired some worldly substance in trading His friends s*y of him: “Frank could make money from a Yankee in a horse trade.” It was his Idea to contract for most of the available cinder sup- I ply when the era of cement walk building began two years ago. cinders being necessary to build such walks, and to organize a "cinder trust” for a season or two.

Three concerns occupy the building and one of them employs 50 girls. The young women became panlcstricken at the mar of the explosion and rushed to the haliways where they were stampeded by workmen from the floors above. The crowd of struggling men and women made a desperate dash for the street and Just escaped In safety. One man only si far us could be learned, was hurt. He Is John Colson, engineer of the building. He was hemmed In by the flames till firemen reached him, on the third floor. He was taken to the Williams burg hospital, where he will probably die. WASHINGTON. May s—Edwin N.

For a strictly first class spring lamb there is an ac-1 1 tlve demand, but the shelly, thin little fellows, that are coming forward, am of but little value. The spring lamb is nothing if not a trade winner for the retainer and he will not pay lib oral price for a lamb lacking In qual -1 ity. The current trade In live hogs seems to he working along on hn even basis 1 and much higher price* may he safely predicted before Oct. 1. Corn is too high for the average farmer to take 1 an Interest in hog feeding, and It Is safe to predict that the output of live hogs will he small and that those that do come forwnrd will be greatly lack-, Ing In average quality and condition. I High beef Is helping to hold the pork trade on a steady basis. This fart, 1 coupled with the flrmneag which the speculative market Is showing, insures a strong, healthy demand throughout the summer and light runs of hogs will give the market a Arm undertone. Owners of thrifty, young hogs will do well to wait patiently until the mar- ket la done with the regular spring crop of hogs.
