With the season more than half over, Detroit appears blessed with three | rookies of major league caliber. The trio is made up of Southpaws Whitehill and Wells, and Stoner, a | right-hander. The two left-handers | were with the Tygers a short while | last y Stoner, a few years pre- | vious, was given a brief trial and | sent back. l Two Veterans Help The veteran, George Dauss, always a great pitcher, has done Jhis bit in | assisting the rookie trlo. *“Rip” (ol- lins has also done his parts e rest of the veterans, however, LIL STONER unable to win consistently.

Realizing that the American league |race is going to be a struggle to the | bitter end, in which reserve pitching | |is sure to be the dominating factor, Cobb, in getting Leonard back, is looking to the future, Leonard, always a great relief | pitcher, may be used largely in that role by Cobb., His value to the Tygers be determined by his | in the history of | big league baseball, have three rookie pitchers won places as regulars in their first year. 1In that respect the work of Stoner, Whitehill and Wells is decidedly unique.
