HENRY HOPES TO GET TIGERS

Catcher of Washington Americans Will Endeavor to Make Good Showing Against Detroit. “The under dog often rises up in his might and smites the one who has been lording it over his fellow men,” said John Henry, the Washington backstop, “and who knows but that we will succeed against the Detroit team where the other teams of the league have failed? That is, win a majority of the games of the series with the Tigers. Of course, I regret the accidents to Street and Alnsmith, because I realize that both are bet-

ter catchers than I am, and that we stand a better chance to win with either of them behind the bat Still, 1 am glad of the chance to show Manager McAleer and my teammates that I can step into the breach and do good work.”
