Larry Doyle Refuses to Trade Burke
 For Tucker

Nashville. Tenn. June 2.--(Speciai) Manager Larry Doyle of the Vols. has declined to trade Mike Burke, hard hitting center-fielder of the Nashville club, for Ollie Tucker. of the Pelicans, 1t was announced today. Dobhs desired to make the switch for the season. owing to too many left-handed -hitters in his lineup, the men to revert to their present clubs at the end of the season.
 Although Tucker is dangerous man against right-hanied pitching. his weakness against southpaws makes him a less valuable offensive cog than Burke, always deadly hitter against all kinds of hurling. states Doyle. Last season Burke hit .34S with Nashville. and is regarded as one of the most dependable right-hahded hitters in the minors.

Doyle Likes Rurke Best

Larry Doyle. pilot of the volun- teers, former Giant infielder, veteran of worlds series. and a critic who ought to know what he's talking about, has stated that he prefers Mike Burke. Vol center fielder, to Ollie Tucker, New Orleans sensa- tional young outfielder, thrower a la rifle ball and dangerous batter That's not all, Larry refused a deal with the Vols, whereby Burke and Tucker would be swapped. one for the other. proving that Doyle at least has the courage of his convictions.
 If Doyle likes Burke best, then it's his privilege to turn down the pro- posed deal, but there are probably many baseball scouts who would look twice before choosing the vet eran Vol outfielder over the sensa- fional young Pelican.

Bill Rariden, veteran backstop of the majors, who is now pilot of the Crackers, and who has been doing a large part of the backstoppng for the Atlantans. has announced his re- tirement from active duty behind the bat. Bill points to the fact that he has two younger receivers in Schmidt and Smith, on whom the catching burden should rest lightly, and states that his future activities in a league ball game will be restricted to pinch hitting, and occasional pinch catching, when necessity arises.
 Rariden is not only team manager but battery coach these days. Since the unconditional release of Cy Bar ger, Rariden has taken over the coaching of the pitchers and back stops. and finds his hands full enough with that He sees no reason why he should take his turn behind the bat when there is so much else he can do.
 Let the youngsters do it." asserts Bill Rariden. They are young and need the experience. while I am coming down instead of going up Schmidt and Smith will do practically all Atlanta's catching from now on.
