Critic Regards Tigers This Year as Real Dark Horse. By Henry L. Farrell United Press Staff Correspondent NEW STORK, March 31.—For several years, especially during the late periods of the Cobb regime, the Detroit Tigers were ridden harder perhaps than any club in the major leagues. It may have been responsible for the failure to do better than they have done. Conditions became such, it is no secret, that several players practically demanded to be traded to other clubs where they felt they could get along better and play better than they could for Cobb. There is no doubt that Cobb was a great player, but he will admit himself that he was not even a good manager and in the hands of another leader the club may get more of its potential strength. The possibilities of the club under George Moriarity, who has everything that seems essential for a successful manager, are so respected by baseball men that the team is regarded as a real dark horse in the penndnt race. Weakness Corrected The infield weakness at second base has been fatal to any changes the club had for a pennant and with the acquisition of Marty McManus from the St. Louis Browns, the weakness may be corrected. McManus is a better second baseman than his game In St. Louis showed. He was dissatisfied with the Browns and was not on the best of terms with the management or owners of the club. Blue, working for Moriarity, ought to be a vastly improved player. He has the mechanical equipment, but he was ridden so hard by Cobb that he couldn’t play his real game. There is certainly nothing lacking in the outfield. Detroit clubs always have run to power in the outfield, and in Heinie Manush, 1926 batting champion; Harry Heilman and Bob Fothergill the team has three of the first five batters in the league. It isn’t the most finished fielding com-, bination in the league, but base hits cover a multitude of fielding sins. Cobb Slowed Up Cobb probably will not be missed as much as it might be figured at first glance. He slowed up so much last season that he benched himself and played little late in the season. The spirit of the club should not suffer by his departure. The team hasn’t any pitching strength to waste, but there areiVt many clubs in the league that have pitchers to ’ spare. The Detroit pitchers—Whitehill, Holloway. Johns, Wells and Dauss —are not the weakest combination in the league, and with strong hitting behind them they do not have to be as tight on the defense as pitchers on a club that doesn't have such a heavy attack. Moriarity has ability and personality. He is not inclinde to Cobb’s field tactics, but he can be just as hard if he has to be. His experience as a player and later as a manager should have qualified him to think heavy, and “master mind,” and if the breaks go good for him the Tigers may be the biggest surprise of the year. A.

MEET TONIGHT Pn tinted Press CHICAGO, March 31.—Athletes who once ran for western conference universities, and who are now performing under Illinois Athletic Club colors were favored to win the annual Central A.

McAllister Likes Spirit of Club

By .lack McAllister Manager of the Cleveland Indians Written for the United Press LAKELAND, Fla., March 31. After watching the developments in our training camp, I feel sure the Indians will be as good this year as they were last year. lam not claiming the pennant, but I am certain we will be one of the contenders. We can’t fill Tris Speaker’s place this year, of course, but while there may be a weakness because of the change, the team has been strengthened by the purchase of Lou Fonseca and by the improved form of Willis Hudlin, one of our young pitchers. There is a fine spirit on the club and the boys feel they will do at least as well as they did last year, and I do also.
