Pa. Captain of the great Baltimore Orioles manager of three pennant-winning Detroit teams n the American League and finally as- sistant manager to John McGraw dur- ing the four-vear stretch in which the Giants swept to the National League pinnacle, Jennings was a conspicuous figure in the maiors. ‘The former Tiger pilot, who always held the attention of fandom by his nervous habit of grass picking on the coaching lines and his well known shout, “Ee-yah!" first drew the atten- tion of base ball men while playing shertstop for a semi-professional club at_Leighton. Pa.. in 1890. Born on April 2. 1871, at Moolic, Pa.. Jennings quickly became a favorite in the coal-mining regions. after joining the Leighton clab, how- ever, he was signed by the Louisville Nationals. who traded him the follow- ing season to the club with which he was to rise to the peak of base ball greatness—the Baltimore Orioles. There | 'GH AMBROSE JENNINGS, | Jennings forged the links of a strong | friendship with McGraw, which was to endure throughout his base ball career. Played With Great Team. Other notable base ball stars were members of the same club. which rose to pennants under the powerful hitting of Brouthers, first base: Reitz, second base: McGraw, third base: Jennings, shortstop; Wilbert Robinson, later presi- dent and manager of the Brooklyn Robins, catcher: Keeler, Kelley and Brodie, outfielders. One year | Leaving the Orioles in 1898 to join the Brooklyn Superbas in the National League, Jennings switched from short- stop to first base. The team won pennants in 1899 and 1900. He then joined the Philadelphia Nationals, but a failing arm turnced his attention to the managerial side of the game, and he finally returned to the Orioles, | | piloting the team which at that time | was in the Eastern League. |~ Failing to purchase Jennings in 1906. | the Detroit Tigers drafted him the fol- lowing year and immediately installed him as manager—a position he filled for 14 years. Winner at Start. Jennings electrified the base ball world by accomplishing the feat of winning the American League flag in his first scason as pilot. He followed with pennants in 1998 and 1909, al- though n each of the world serles the ' Tigers suffered defeat at the hands| of the National Leaguz entry. Twice the Chicago Cubs turned back the Tigers and in 1909 Pittsburgh turncd the trick. In only four remaining seasons did Jennings' teams fail to finish in the first division. His teams were twice | in second place, twice in third and | | three times in fourth. Jennings resigned as manager of the | Tigers at the close of the 1920 season to become McGraw's first lieutenant. He was a factor in the success of the team in 1921, 1922, 1923 and 1924. In 1925 he was in charge of the club dur- ing the long period in which McCGraw was confined to his home with illness. Jennings, a graduate of Cornell, found time between base ball campaigns to obtain _an education and master the aw. During the Winter months he | conducted a law practice in Scranton, Pa. 'MARY BROWNE MUST WAIT TO GAIN REINSTATEMENT Br the Associated Press. adopted a watchful waiting pol- icy so far as her reinstatement as a golf amateur is concerned, she will be obliged to maintain it for the full length of the usual three-year good conduct period prescribed by the Uni‘ed States Golf Association. Miss Browne has been quoted as say- ing she won't ask for reinstatement, but the U. S. G. A. made it clear today that no action is possible on her status without a formal application to lift the ban imposed last April after the former tennis champion toured the EW YORK, February 1.—If Mary | K. Browne has, as she says, country with Suzanne Lenglen and the |rest of the C. C.

Under the | circumstances I do not care to go beg- | be allowed to play in all these tourna- | So it would seem that unless Mary | changes her expressed position there is | no prospect of her returning to the | amateur golf fold this year or, possible, until 1930. The prospective debut of Dr. Otto| Peltzer in the Millrose trace and fleld carnival tomorrow night will be in| sharp contrast with the first American indoor appearance of that other famous European runner Paavo Nurml, in 1925 The German star's schedule calls for an 800-meter run against competition that is not likely to give him more than a good warm-up. Paavo not only tack- led two races on the same night at dis- tances of one mile and 5,000 meters, but met the best this country could produce and won both events in record-break- | ing times. The picture of Nurmi's finish in the mile on that occasion three years ago | in the old Madison Square Garden is | one of the most vivid in track and field | history. Joie Ray, Lloyd Hahn, Jimmy Connolly and other stars all were out| | to “get” the fiying Finn. They alter-| | nated in setting a killing pace, designed | to upset Nurmi's customary clock-like | performance, but this strategy failed..

XIV—The Battle of the AN JOHNSON again carried the base ball war into the enemy's terrtory in 1903 by abandoning the American League Club in Baltimore, where the National League shock troops had scored a vie- tory, and moving in upon New York. One morning the fans in New York woke up and read across the top of the sports pages the news that the American Teague would have a club in New York City. located at Broadway and One- Hundred and Sixty-eighth street. “That gives us a laugh,” said the Na- tional League men when they read the | announcement. “Why, it's all rocks up there and it isn't big enough for a ball field anyhow. | It was all rocks, but it proved to be a larger ball field than it seemed to be in the natural state. Frank Farrell had the money to get behind the new American League Club and Joe Gordon, who knew a lot about real estate on| Manhattan Island, was the man who | dug up the chance to get these parcr!si of real estate by rental. Gordon was| close to Tammany Hall and that helped, | although no one could have been much cleser to Tammany than Farrell, who | was a relative of Police Commissioner | | Devery. Workmen <oon began to blast away the rocks of the new field, which after- ward was known as the ground of the H:ghlander Hundreds of people went | to One Hundred and Sixty-ecighth street to see what it all looked like and most of them agreed that the American League would have a hard time making headway in that neighborhood. The new subway, which was just then start- ing operation, had a station near the fleld that was more than 100 feet un- derground and could only be reached by elevator. It was an awful trip up and down in that elevator in Midsum- mer. especially when there were as many |as 2.000 fans coming to see a game. But_Ban Johnson had broken into New York. That was the principal thing. He had brought out a real live American League team for New York and had put it on Manhattan Island and although there were some base ball | men who had to settle the bills with wrv faces, the American League was out of Baltimore. The Maryland metropolis had not been enthusiastic enough to suit American League backers. The American League men said John- son had made good and praised him ac- cordingly. The National League men snickered and insisted that Johnson had led his associates into trouble be- cal the New York club was never apt to be a success where it was located. It was pointed out that the ground was only leased and could not be retained forever. Rocks in New York City In truth, the games of the new club were not very profitable on that ground. dug out of the rock cliffs. There was only one year on the field during which the invaders had anything like a “fair shake.” The men who were behind the New York club became discouraged. Gordon’s connection with the organiza- tion ceased. There were as many man- agers as there were scasons and none of them was successful. Even Johnson got the blues over the troubles that had beset the New York team after the first year of its organi- zation. H» never had any notion of | abandoning New York. but he did say that he wished some one could read the future for him and tell him what it might bring forth so far as it had any- thing to do with New York. (Cepyright, 1928.) FIRST WHITE SOX GROUP TO GATHER FEBRUARY 28 CHICAGO, February 1 (#).—Harry Grabiner, secretary of the Chicago White Sox, today sent out notices that | all newcomers and youngsters on the Sox payroll, accompanied by the vet- eran catch are to assemble in Chi- cago Februa 28 for the trip to| Shreveport, La., and the Sox training | camp. The first White Sox contingent, | counting the newspapermen and others, will form a party of about 40, which is to leave Chicago February 28. going by way of St. Louis. A week later the veteran White Sox will join the youngsters in camp for actual opening of Spring training actlvities. MARTIN OFF FOR TAMPA T0 CURRY PLANT FIELD All will be ready at Tampa for the first squad of Nationals that is to begin training two weeks from next Monday. Michael Francis Martin, veteran trainer of the Washington base ball club, heads for the Florida training base today and with Mike on the job the players are assured of a good field for their work when they report. Every year Mike treks to the 'Gator State well in advance of the athletes to build a_practice ground in Plant Field at Tampa and never has he failed to have everything in great condition for the big business of readying the Nationals for their American League campaign.

Statistics for the circuit furnished by Scorer C. W. Douglass follow: Team Record Anditors Encineers Steiretts 1 W | I ¥ [ DAty SPORTS: ISTRICT Government and Fed- eral Leagues have sclected their all-star squads for the clash in which the former hopes to show the young Federal oircuit what is really good duckpinning. The competition will be for five-man teams, doubles and singles and ecach league has posted $25, the winning squad to take all. Bowling will start Saturday night at 7 o'clock on the Arcadia alleys, where the District Government League holds forth. The following Saturday, Febru- ary 11, the match will be concluded at_King Pin, home of the Federal loop. District Government's five-man team will be selected from a squad including H. Steele, captain; Swaggert, Bern- hardt, Guethler, E. Steele, Mitchell, Falk, Brown, McPronty and Mooney. Federal League's team will be picked from Webb, captain; Swain, Jolliffe, Moore, Miller and Clements. For the doubles contest, the Muni- | cipal circuit will have Bernhardt and Swaggert, while the Federal loop will | put on the drives Swain and Moore. | In the singles, H. Steele will represent | the District Government League and Webl, the Federal League. | Rivalry between the circuits is keen | and the impending match is arousing considerable interest among their fol- | lowers. Officials of both the District | | and Federal Governments have accept- | ed invitations to attend the contest, “You take occasion now and then.” writes a follower of The Star's bowling | news, “to emphasize the desirability of | getting every bit of wood possible if the bowler 1s interested in building up his average. The reward for plugging away | and refusing to be discouraged by the in & match I saw not long ago. I had| gone down to theeColiseum to see a| District League match, but found that | it had been postponed. However, I lingered to watch a couple of the Southern Railway games. One bowk‘r' was up against a disheartening_series | of breaks. Five times in a row he put the first ball in the pocket without jeven getting a spare break. In the sixth, he did land a 2-pin break, but the preceding boxes seemed to have | been too much for him and he missed | by a narrow margin. But he did not let down. Instead. he continued getting everything he could. In the eight he was | rewarded with a spare break—and made | it. The ninth box saw him pile a slflkel on this and then he counted 9 on the!| strike. His game was 109 with only| two marks.” | It is a somewhat common experience ! for a bowler shooting for a spare count | to put on a trifie too much gas in his | attempt to sock the davlight out of the bunch with the result that the ball reaches the pins before it breaks and he is off his aim. according to a studious observer of the game. The bowler there- by takes a pin full on the nose instead of on the side. Here is an illustration of | |an odd variation though. Shooting at | anchor in the tenth box of a game in | {an industrial eircuit. the bowler faced {a “bread-line” break and made it. He { was using a practically straight cross- fire ball. Yet on the roll-off of the ! mark the ball developed a round-hous: | curve and broke from the left-hand | side of the headpin to the extreme right iside of the alley. picking off 2 pins. Incidentally 4 pins would have won the game for his quint. For a right-hand bowler using a practically straight ball to develop in an emergency like this a round-house inshoot seems to be about the last word in bowling freaks. All-time records as well as season records suffered last night when The Evening Star League did its weekl bowling on_the Coliseum drives. Dav Burrows, rolling at anchor for the Bucks established new individual marks for| the circuit when he hit a string of 176, 119 and 123. The game of 176 and set of 418 beat anything ever beiore record- led in the league. The Bucks' first game of 579 and their set of 1,602 are season records for the circuit, at least. The Bucks swept into first place in the league as they took three games from the Cards, with whom they had been sharing the lead. In other league matches the Pirates took three from the Cubs and the In- dians walloped the Yanks three times. The Indians did not get a sweep out a struggle, however. They took rst game by 3 pins in roiling off a won the second by a single pin and third by 7 pins. Denaldson brothers overcame the Frye brothers, 1.563 to 1421, in a spe. cial match. The Donaldsons finishe ahead in two of the three games r the second game going to the Fry 2 pins. St. Jerome duckpinners successfully withstood the attack of the American Legion team last night in section 1 of the Prince Georges County Duckpin As- sociation, taking two of the three games rolled and increasing their lead over the second-place Vets to five games.
