- WINS WEALTH AND GLORY WITH TEAN Frank J. Navin Has Made De- froit a Big Basehall Town —_— 12.~Unlucky Ma polities, lucky in baschall, is e way Frank J.

Angus wanted to g the game. Ban Johnson, preside tha American League, came to De- troit in an effort to get rid of the white elephant. Mr. Navin, whose friends call hin a modern Midas and who, they say, never gambles with fate, made his greatest gambla then, Without suf- fielent money himself to swing the deal, he interested Willlam Yawkey wealthy sportsman. Yawkey put up the money and Navin became man- sger of the club. The rest of the story of the De- Proit baseball club and Frank J. Navin is the story of a man taking a Josing proposition, driving through years of discouragement to bring his organization finally to the peak of financial and diamond succe: Two major chapters appear in th book Frank Navin has written with bats, balls, mitts and money on the herd clay and green grass of Na fleld. The first was his coup in bringing to Detroit as manager Hughie Jennings — Seh-ah,” grass-pulling Jennings. The second was the purchase of Ty Cobb By many the signing of Jennings s regarded as Mr. Navin's great- est stroke in baseball. The new manager, obtained for $1,500 from Baltimore, calked the seams of dis- cord in the Tiger craft and de oped three pennant-winning clubs. He took Detroit by storm and i credited with having aroused this city to the intense interest in base- ball which it displays to this da Mr, Navin's smartest plece of re- eruiting was done in 1 when he got Ty Cobb from Augusta, Ga., for $500. To get the fiery rgian fir mid-season he had to pay an addi- tional $200. This $700 has been ca ed the most fortunate baseball in- vestment ever made, insofar as player purchases are concerned. In carrying through his baseball policles Mr. Navin has had the satisfaction of seeing Detroit move from the joke classification of base- dball cities to a city with a gate ex- eeeded each year only by ew York; and he has seen the Detroit baseball club rise from a lability to an asset which, it has been esti- mated, returns to its pre $100,000 annually.

The Editor happens to know, too, that the person cares just about as much for the $1 as he does for the criticism. Here's the letter, read for yourself: Limerick Editor: Dear Sir: I have tried a few times to give a lost line to the Limerick in the Herald, not that I care for the prize, but for the fun of it. But I evidently do not have the knack. I would like to offer a little criticism: You gave the prize to the one who wrote “Don't forget to fill your cellar,” rather than to the others who used the word “umbrella,” yet in my estimation the latter was most correct, because it rhymed with Stella and “fella.” Cellar does not make a correct rhyme, because it ends in “r.” It should be written “cella”, which certainly is just as correct as “fella.” L Now, if it is not neecssary to have a complete rhyme, you should may so. Otherwise, you can't say there is no catch in this contest. There certainly was a catch in it last night, for the majority thought “umbrella” was the right word to use, and it is hard to find any other word to rhyme with “Stella” or “fella.” FAIR PLAY.
