Jennings will take in the neighborhood of fifteen pitchers to the camp of the Tigers next spring. Of this number, six will be veterans unless he pulls off a deal or two in the meantime. George Davis, Coveleskie, Roland, James, Cunningham, and Mitchell will make up the seasoned staff. But look at the youngsters!

The Tigers have captured Khmko, from Seranton; Jones, from Clinton; Couch, from San Francisco; Woods and Anton, from Portsmouth; Planapan, from Muscatine; Whitson, from Houston (Tex.), and a couple of young semi-pro hufiers named Acton and Swarts. Chick and Couch are expected to make good, and if reports Jennings gets on some of his remaining youngsters are true, he may have an abundance of talent.

For the veterans, the youngsters successfully will mean much to Jennings. He has the foundation for a good staff in his veterans, and if he can get two who are capable of facing major league batting out of his recruits, he will be satisfied, and then some.

It was largely the fact that the Tigers were outpitched in crucial series late last season that kept them from making a stronger finish of the race with Huston. Not that they didn't figure strong, but that they would have shown to much better advantage had they been getting the hang-up pitching that such a race demanded. This year, Homings is living in.  Bears that his season's slabbers will show all comers; the kind of wiggling they are capable of when in their best form. And if they do? Well? Look out for the Tigs.
