WON’T CHANGE HIS PITCHERS

Manager Jennings of Tigers Gives Reasons for Not Removing Hurler Who Gets Poor Start. Hughie Jennings, the keeper of the Jungle team, says that he has been panned a lot for keeping pitchers on

the hill when the batters have found their range, but explains his motives with some sound reason. “When I announce the pitcher to start the game,” said Jennings, “he is the best man I have for that day’s work. If they hit him they will probably hit the next one I offer them. These one-inning bursts win games sometimes, but if you don’t win and you throw away a couple of pitchers, you are up against it when the double-deckers come along." ——*—
