Gates Brown, the new lefk-fielder of the Tigers, out-homered the old leftfielder of the Tigers by a 2-1 margin Wednesday night and the result was a 9-5 victory over the Kansas City A's.

That would be 50 years, not strokes It is customary for some who reach the half-century milestone to greet it with the same anguished look that is bestowed on a missed putt from 10 inches. Not so Red Run. Congratulatory cries and back-slaps, plus the loud popping of buttons and corks, already are being heard although the big celebration does not come up until July. The general idea, particularly around the bar in the men's grill, obviously takes the tack that if championship golfers need an hour on the practice tee to ready themselves for a big match, a spot of indoor training is not out of bounds for those who must play hard next month.

During one of these warm-up sessions, there was a discussion on the ways and means of getting a' little publicity in the big papers on the club's 50th anniversary. "How many people know that Hughie Jennings, the manager who won three pennants for the Tigers, was one of our first members?" somebody asked. Hughie 'Devoted' to Golf "WHAT'S MORE. HE WON the club golf championship back in 1916. That ought to be a squib for some newspaper guy.

The suggestion was handed the publicity chairman. He went to work. This entailed handing the suggestion to somebody else who went to work by passing it on to somebody else. It finally culminated in the following press release: "Hugh Ambrose Jennings, most successful of all Tiger managers, was one of the first members of Red Run Golf Club, a man whose abilities and will to win earned him honors on the baseball diamond and on the fairways. "For a man of Jennings' temperament and profession his devotion to golf was unusual five decades ago.

He was of the firebrand school of baseball, reigning over the Tigers from 1907 to 1920 and guiding them to three pennants. "The redhead was the leader of a group of rough and tough athletes, a team spearheaded by the incomparable Ty Cobb. Jennings was a man of contrasts, and that accounted for his love of golf. was a graduate of the Cornell law school. He wound up in baseball's Hall of Fame.

'His determination to win may have been responsible for his start in baseball. After graduation from law school, he took his first court case defending a miner accused of murder. Hughie lost. So did the miner. They hanged him and Jennings quit the bar right then.

He turned to baseball, and then to golf. "Still he satisfied his love of victory pretty well throughout his career. He won the American championship in 1907, 1908 and 1909. Yceded: A Climnp for "16 "AND TODAY HIS NAME still is listed on a roster in the men's grill at Red Run as the club champion in 1916." Satisfied with his press-agentry efforts, the author then sent the story to the official Red Run historian for approval. A few days later, he received the following reply: "An entertaining and interesting story.

It captures the spirit of Jennings well. However, there is one little thing I believe you should know. "A few years ago, club members decided to bring the roster of Red Run champions up to date. There were few records of early club tournaments, so late one night, after much debate, it was decided to 'elect a champion for 1916 since none existed. "Jennings was the winner.

His name was painted on the list of champions. That is how it got there. "Now there also is another little fact I believe you should know. I was well acquainted with Jennings in those years. He and his wife were Red Run members.

"But Hughie never played a round of golf in his life And another good story bit the dust.
