Show JENNINGS WANTS WAGNER, NOW WITH RED SOX Special to Tho Tribune. DETROIT, Julv 22. There is a big league manager who considers a man with a .204 batting average, and a .882 Molding average worth $10,000. That Is tho value that Hugh Jennings, of the Detroit Tigers, places on Charles Wagner, captain and shortstop of tho Boston Red Sox. Wagner, it Is understood, would not bo opposed to going to Detroit to fit In with the Cobb-Crawford machine. Jennings wants Wagner for socond base, as Jim Dolehanty'a lame leg Is not Improving. Hughio reckons that with Wagner his Tigers would have a far better chance to win the pennant than Is now the case. Donle Bush holped Hughle out In 1908 and Dclohanty proved a biK factor in the Tigers' third successive pennant. Another An-other flag would be worth ?1 0,000 and a playor thrown in. |
