JOE HAUTE MENTIONED JEX SPEAKS FOR HIM Possessed of Wonderful Personality, Old Detroit Manager Proved Inspiration to His Players From Start Gained Fame With Orioles. BY HARRY BULLION. Huchie Jennings is dead. Mike still is taking good care of little Pete Flrpo. It matters little whether Mike Is operating in Detroit, Hot or Calcutta, he will take care of Flrpo If he has to keep him Idle and make llllly Peterson furnish the pork chops.

Old Chicago Joe could not. act out In front of Johnny I'oaky ami tonk a beautiful lacing from Jackie Johnston at the Moone, but as good as Ftrpo Is, Mike is like that and Insists he will be so as far as Fnpo is concerned for another year. Flrpo evidently has corned tha market doWn in Arkansas' big town and Peterson apparently is taking the rest cure.

There will he No longer will the famous Ee-yah ring through the baseball parks of the major leagues, and the sporting realm mourns his loss. His voice is stilled forever. Death came to the once fiery and flame thatched ex-athlete at his late residence in Scranton, early Wednesday morning. As he was wont to all through life, Hughie fought back the grim reaper until, weakening, he went to the inevitable end at the age of 57.

Death was the direct result of spinal meningitis with tuberculosis a contributary cause. When his eyes closed on the world for the last time the end came peacefully. In the passing of Hughie Jennings the athletic world loses one of the foremost exponents of baseball the game ever knew. As a player Hughie was without a peer in his position at shortstop and when his active days for playing concluded he won renown as a manager of the Detroit Tigers, whom he led to three successive pennants in 1907, '08 and '09. Upon retiring from the management of the Tigers, Jennings became assistant to John McGraw in the management of the Giants until poor health compelled him to seek relief in the mountains of i' -i: zJ -sA i 1 i JJ I iJl Gives Out Statement in Florida and Jack Verifies It in Los Angeles.

"Personally, I am somewhat disappointed that an opponent has not been named today, an I have had visions of the champion knocking out his erstwhile contender in a 15-round engagement. Tunney barely looked up from the business of unwrapping a new set of golf clubs long enough to Bay that "Dempsey's retirement Is of more concern to Rickard than It is to me; my chief concern right now Is my golf game." The champion said he had been playing around tinder 90 every day this week and "no pugilistic news Is as interesting at the present as that."

The former heavyweight champion, while avoiding any Hat declaration that he was through with boxing, let it be known by the tone of his conversation that he felt the time had about come for him to retire. "As things look now, I may never light again." Dempsey said.

Miller Huggins, the nv.tr manager of the New York Yankees, came to town today to personally see about his world baseball champions. Almost furtively Huggins ducked around the corn-r of Hroadway and slipped up Forty-second street to the offices of Yankcea for a private conference with Colonel Jacob Ruppert uud Edward Barrow. One of the sirimgest characters In the game, Jluggina and his meth ods continue to mystify a greater part of the hiiehnl world. Overshadowed by blustering Habe Ruth and a team of hUh-priced stars, Huggins prefers to keep his tiny figure always In the background. Heats on Ilia Record.

But the records speak for themselves, and they show that In 10 years under tluggina the Yankees, once the joke club of the league, have won five American league pennants and two world championships. Huggins, In preparing for his eleventh season at the helm of the Yankees, realizes that baseball fans and magnates live In the present and not the past, and his present mission concerned the line-up for 1S2S. Several members of the Yankees' all-star cast haven't been signed, but Waite Hoyt, star right-handed pitcher, and Mike Uazella, utility inflelder, are the uuly out and out holdouts. Put Hia Case Plainly. Hoyt puts his case plainly.

"I won 22 games last year and 1 want more dough." Gazella has only a .271 batting average to fling In the faces of Messrs. Ruppert, Harrow and Huggins, but he, too, is dissatisfied with his wage. The Yankses pay their players liberally, but since they will pay Ruth and Oehiig. the home run twins, almost 100,000 between them this season, they may not fee.l In a mood Just at this moment to meet the demands of Hoyt and Oazella, though trivial they may be. Hoyt may be, traded, and Oazella may be pitched In for good measure, for a -left-handed pitcher.

What is worrying Huggins most is the personnel of his pitching staff and a guardian for third bane. At the present time it looks like he will have to depend upon George I'lpgras, who blossomed Into a star In his own right In the world series.

i i I I Scranton, Feb. 1. -(A. A prayer for clean baseball was uttered by Hughie Jennings, famous diamond star, during one of his periods of consciousness yesterday, his personal physician, Dr. Martin T.

O'Mallcy, made known today. "I owe baseball more than the game owes me; keep it clean and honest," Dr. O'Malley quoted Mr. Jennings as saying to relatives in the sick room hours before he closed his eyes in death. LOAYZA'S WORK INTERESTS LAW Chilean, Doing Road Work, Is Chased Around Grand Circus Park by Officer.

Trainer Intercedes and McGraw' Opponent Goes on Preparing for Bout. Stanislaus Loayza's limited command of the English language almost forced him to retard his training for his bout with Thll McGraw s.t Olympla Friday night, as a result of a little episode of early yesterday morning. bundled to the neck In sweaters, was doing some road work In Grand Circus park when a patrolman hailed him and asked where he was going and why all the hurry. Loayza, thinking the officer meant no more than an early morning greeting, kept right on going and the officer lost no time taking after him. Loayza's trainer, however, came to the boxer's rescue and managed to convince the guardian of the law that the Chilean had not held up a service station and doing nothing more than making ready for his engagement with McGraw.

Chilean li Good Shape. The Chilean Is strong for road work, and as a result does not have to toil so much in the gym. He worked at the Grand River club yesterday afternoon, confined his boxing to two rounds with Patsy Ruffalo and wound up his work for the day skipping the rope. Ioayza is In good condition. His work at the gym was at a fast clip while IP lasted, and he could have gone on several more rounds had it been necessary.

But it is doubtful If he Is in better shape than McGraw, who has been tolling hard for the past two weeks In preparation for his chance to square matters with the Chilean, who has a decision over the Detroiter as well as a draw. McGraw has been working out at the Tuxedo club, and is confident if nothing else. He thinks he can stop Loayza, and points to the fact that he had Sid Terris on the floor four times in one round the first time he boxed the New Tork East Side favorite as an indication of the Improvement in his punching power. Klllurci Gets a Workout. Johnny Filluccl, the New Tork lightweight who boxes Jackie Nichols in the eight-round semi-final, arrived here yesterday In time to work out at the Grand River club.

He boxed with Iavey Abad, and he probably Is glad of the fact that the wandering Panamanian is not his opponent of Friday night. Abad punched Filluccl around aplenty, but the New Yorker was in there for a workout, which is exactly what he got, plus. Abad looked very good, which spells trouble for Jackie Johnston, the Toronto featherweight who mingles with the swarthy protege of Kddle Mead and Scotty Montcith in the main preliminary. Carlo Maztola and Eddie Gold, who trade punches for the second time in another six-rounder on the bill, were working yesterday, but Tommy Lane, the Toledo bantam, Is not yet here. Lane will not box Sammy Tisch in the opener as a result of an injury to Tlsch's right hand, but will take on Mannie Wexler.

Not in 20 years had this city won a pennant, the last previous flag having been captured by the old Detroit team of 1887. Successful From Start. Success crowned Jennings' efforts from the start. With the same club that finished the season before, 1906, in sixth place, Hughie rode to a pennant, and In 1908 and 1909 he repeated. But he could not win the world's championship.

The first two years of the pennant flush experienced by the Tigers, the Cubs won, and the last time the Pirates conquered Jennings' machine. Strategy wasn't the prime factor In llughie's success. It was his Inspiring leadership. Just that freckled face on the coaching lines splitting to let roll nut In volume the cracking Ke-yah drovfe the Tigers, a careless and indifferent club up to the spring of 1907. to Its first, then Its second and finally Us third pennant.

Can't you see him now, standing on one leg, the right, while his left was raised and bent at the knee; two hands clenched and the battle cry reverberating across the playing field and against the stands? Or In another moment the Index finger of his left hand Jackknlfed against his teeth from whence came a thrill whistle as he stooped over to pluck the grass with quick but regular motion? Almost Won Other. In 1910 and in 1915 and 191 the smashing attack of the Tigers, supported by fair pitching, almost won other pennunts. Rut they weakened under the terrltlc pace set by the Athletics In the first of these seasons and the great Red Sox machine led them to the tape the other two. Tyrus Raymond Cobb's greatest years were spent under the managerial reign of Hughie Jennings, Be Kept Clean who saw his possibilities, chose to let him go free of restraint and saw tiie Georgian develop into the greatest ball player that ever lived. On the pennant-winning teams were other stars whose places in the records of the game are secure.

There was Bill Donovan. George Mullln. Sam Crawford, Kddle Kil-llan, Kddle Selver, Davy Jones. Matty Mclntyre, Bill Coughlin, George Moriarty, Donle Bush, Tep" Young, Oscar Stanage, Harry Hellmann, Jim Pelehanty, Claude Rossman, Kddle Summers, Herman Schaefer, Charley and some more. lrovea Surprise Team, These men, with the exception of Hellmann and Young, who didn't some to the Tigers the first time until 1911.

played their parts In the winning of the pennants. It was a club of the oharacter to exasperate any manager before the spring of 1907 rolled around, and lwhen it prepared for training that lime interest in tne unnieuiate iu-lure of the men whs slight. But baseball men could not believe their eyes when the same outfit that finished In the depths of the standing the season before started off wiih new life, and. smashing Its way through the league, gave De-troits its first pennant In a score of years. Jennings chronic spirit Immediately became contagious and the lunoi'ulatton of the men was com plete.

But Hughie was only human. and white he preserved his spirit to win, even to the point of altering his tactics from applications of sugar to the extreme of vinegar, the inevitable slump set in. In 1917. the war year for America, the decline became general and irrew worse until IMO, when the Tigers started off the season by losing the first 1J gam's played.

According to reports, Davs Knight still Is In form In the league of matchmakers. Aforementioned reports Indicate that Dave's first show at the Amaranth club was somewhat of a bust, not so much from the efforts of the boxers on the bill hut the reluctance on the part of the populace to approach the box office. Dave learned a lot about thrifty boxing fans when he was making matches nnd mlmatches In Windsor.

Knight has been known to ninke a few dollars on occsslons i k.t acme ine rivri, nut nnn.ii, trouble getting the rent out of the receipts.

I Little Jean Boillotat and Charlie Delphier, last night were presented with silver loving cups, emblematic of the championship In their respective divisions as the three night city ice carnival was brought to a close on Helle Isle, To Miss Boillotat also went the distinction of beitig the lone skater among the seniors who won every race in which she competed, while Delphier earned his spurs by finishing second in the half mile, two mile, one mile, and winning the 100-yard dash, 220 and the one-sixth mile to total 180 points.

He made certain of his position last night by winning the one-eighth mile and finishing second in the mile after failing to place in the quarter mile number, one of his favorite distances. Wind Prevents Records. Because of a strong cross wind that swept the entire course and proved a serious menace to the skaters, no slate records were erased from the books, but several were dangerously close to being broken. Of these Jean Boillotat was well on the way to creating two new standards, only to encounter the wind that retarded her progress in each of Uhe quarter mile and the century dash. The same was true of the men's quarter mile where Walter Hopponen failed by only four-fifths of a second to equal the existing record.

Chief Interest of the large crowd, that braved the chilly blasts, was in the men's senior events and in the efforts of Miss Boillotat to hang up new marks. Jean Boillotat kept her record unscathed by a clean cut margin over Helen Carl in the 100-yard dash. Miss Biollotat easily out-distanced Miss Carl and Agnes Lessenau, who finished third, in 12 and two-fifths seconds. Just one-fifth of a second above the state mark held by Lor-etta Neltzel. Delphier Takes Dash.

Charles Delphier. flashed across the finish line in the van of a group of eight skaters In the senior 220 yard dash event. He was clocked in 20 and one-fifth seconds. Herbert Bell and Joseph Gagnler were close on the heels of the leader. Agnes Lessenau romped home to an easy victory In the girl's 410 yard dash In 1 minute 5S seconds.

She was followed across the line by Dorothy Burke and Teresa Tasch. FMward Wedge. Clarence Middle-ton and William Thompson Btnued a three-cornered race from the start of the Intermediate 220 yard dash. The three raced around the truck almost neck and neck and finished in the same order thar ther left the starting line. Krnest Kowalczak made a runaway race out of the junior one half-mile event, easily beating Walter Zarem In 1:1 2-5.
