Detroit manager Hughie Jennings says the Tigers will rely almost entirely on youngsters for the 1913 season. Only four holdovers from last year remain, Cobb Crawford Dubuc and Stanage. Willett may be kept, but if he doesn’t perform early he will be shipped. Jennings stresses developing infield pitching and catching, with Veach virtually assured in left field and Gainer or Crawford at first base. He plans to take the team south with the youths in mid February.
