DETROITERS BEGIN DIAMOND
CAMPAIGN IN APRIL WITHOUT
PEERLESS PLAYER
DETROIT, March 8. (JP)—The De
troit Tigers bereft of “Ty” Cobb, will
begin their 1927 diamond campaign
in April with the hardest hitting out
field in the American League, despite
the departure of the peerles<3 bats
man.
Washington’s acquisition of the
fence-busting Tris Speaker boosts
the Senators’ outfield batting aver
age to .338, on the basis of 1926 per
formances, but even this hard-hitting
group of gardeners has a grand aver
age 30 points below its Tiger contem
poraries.
The Detroit outfield this season
will include the 1926 batting cham
pion of the League, Henry Manush.
It will boast a former champion in
Harry Heilmann. Its third member
will be Robert Fothergill, whose em
bonpoint did not keep him from
leading the league for most of last
season, though he was nosed out by
his team-mates in the September
stretch.
The new Washington outfield con
sists of Goslin, Rice and Speaker.
Cobb brought the Tigers to their
present enviable position in center
field, for realizing that he could not
play in the middle pasture forever,
he began three years ago to groom
a successor. Manush was his choice,
but the Alabaman came along so
slowly that once Cobb was ready to
trade him.
After working with Manush with
slight success, he finally advised the
understudy to follow his natural
swinging style. At once Manush be
gan to bust the fences. Harry Heil
mann also is credited with helping
Manush to improve. He gave him
much attention last summer, and the
center fielder spurted from the low
•300’s toward the top of the list.

Long Ago
PLACER MINING IN ALASKA
On Fairbanks Creek placer mining
is still in its prospective stage, and
as the ground is deep and frozen,
prospecting is a time-consuming
task. Holes are sunk by the use of
wood fires, hot rocks and hot water.
Sometimes a combination is used,
and where there is danger of thaw
ing the walls out too rapidly hot
water is preferred.
BIGGEST MINE ON EARTH
Joseph McDonald, general superin
tendent of the Treadwell mines, on
Douglas Island, Alaska, the largest
of mines in the world, is staying at
Portland with his wife and daughter.
Mr. McDonald is trying a change of
climate for the benefit of his health.
Rheumatism having bothered him
considerably, and will not return to
Alaska for some months. He will
go East from here, after spending
some time in Portland.
MADE A NEW STRIKE
Some very fine copper ore was
brought to town during the week
from a new strike made in a locality
where it was little dreamed that
mineral wealth existed.
Several locations have been made
on this find, which can be reached
from Seward in one hour or less.
Next week the Gateway will have
a full account of this new evidence
of the town’s wealth.
