relief Of veterans and their de-
pendents who would be eligible to
admission to the soldiers home,
but who prefer to remain in their
own homes or with relatives. Since
the fund was established in 1887,
over 100000 has been distributed
to nearly 10000 persons. At pres
ent about 1000 persons are receiv-
ing relief from this fund"
Relief work also is carried on
through the soldiers home by the
soldiers welfare director created
by the legislature of 1928. as a
branch of the state board of con-
troll to aid veterans in presenting
to the federal government through
the United States veterans bureau
claims for various kinds of relief
to which they may be entitled, Mr..
Youngquist asserted.
Since its creation, the office has
handled more than $500 cases and
has obtained payment of compensa-
ton and insurance from the federal
government on which the initial
payments amounted to over $780,
600 with continuing subsequent
payments aggregating many times
that amount, the attorney general
said.
1.-THE money to carry on the work
of the soldiers welfare office is pro-
vided through a soldiers welfare
fund.-" he added. cit was created
txy Tho 1ao;elok,,ra opd c,,rplay,o ant
ed by gifts and requests by private
individuals and by the income from
permanent invested fund of
100000, which was set aside by the
1925 legislature from the unexpect-
ed balance in the soldiers and sail
ors' tuition fund.
To this, he said, the legislature
has added special appropriations
of $4,000 annually for the past
four years, the 1929 legislature ap-
propriating like amount for each
of the next two years, out of which
$4,000 a year may be expended for
maintenance of the disabled veter-
ans rest camp.
The state co-operates with veter-
ans organizations in maintaining
two rest camps for disabled veter-
ans, one at Big Island on Lake
Minnetonka, the other at Big Marie
lake in Washington county, Mr..
Youngquist said. Since 1923, when
these camps were established, the
state legislature has appropriated
for their maintenance, $4,000, in
Guiding $4,000 made available for
the next two years out of the SOL
diers' welfare fund.
"On the death of any war veteran
who leaves no means to defray bur-
ial expenses, the law provides that
he shall be buried under the direc-
ton of the county board at the ex-
pense of the state" Mr.. Youngquist
added. "The state also furnishes
a suitable headstone for his grave,
if it is not furnished by the federal
government"
"The office takes care of about
500 claims of this kind a year," he
said. ITO date the office had hand
led altogether, about $4,000 claims
and has collected back payments
aggregating close to 100000, at a
saving to claimants of many thous-
ands of dollars in attorneys fees.

. considerable interest Will center
upon Harris debut with the Tigers,
for his accession to the manager
ship brings them a leader Of a type
new to Detroit baseball. He has
a way of handling the team that is
interesting to study.
After holding down an outfield
berth for the past ten years, Harry
Heilmann, whose chief enjoyment
appears to be knocking dry knots out
Of baseball fences, has been assign
ed to first base. Heilmann, who
again aims to lead the league in
hitting, is finding coverage Of the
initial sack much to his liking.
Dale Alexander, formerly of To-
ronto, a fence buster, has been
hitting a mighty pace to vie with
Heilmann. The six foot three incn
first base prospect, who batted $3.50
last season, appears to have put in
a stronger bid for 1929 hitting hon
ors than has Dudley Branom, draft
ed from Louisville where he led the
American association in total bases
and hit around 800.
Charley Gehringer, ranked as the
best second sacker in the league
and a .316 batsman last year, will
again fill the berth he has held for
the last three seasons. He has
Francis Sigafoos, drafted from
Portland. of the Pacific Coast
league, as a rival, while Manager
Harris also a play second, but
does not plan to do SO unless an
emergency arises.
Heinie Soluble, once With the st
Louis Cardinals, and last year with
the Houston club of the Texas
league, has been working his head
off to make the 'hortStop grade.
Mortie McManus, veteran of two
years, is a certainty at third.
If Roy Johnson, $4,000 fly
chaser from the San Francisco club
Of the coast league, fits into the
place Harris has opened for him,
the Tigers will have an outfield
possessed CT both power and speed.
Harry Rice, who was secured in
a trade with the st. Louis Browns
last spring involving Manush and
Blue, and John Stone, youngster
who was brought up from Evans
vile last fall and proved a sensa-
ton, together with johnson, are
considered an ideal outfield. All are
better than 500 hitters. Robert
~Fothergill, whose connection with
the club dates back six or seven
years is yet to be reckoned with,
however.
George Uhle might have been re-
inuuished by Cleveland because he
had lost his pitching cunning but
Manager Harris is not sorry for
having the great hurler on his
staff. In fact, Harris is counting
on the veteran to be a mainStay of
the Tiger corps.
Emil Yde, Earl Whitehill, Frank
Barnes (from Houston). and Phil
Page, portsider from Springfield.
are others from whom Harris is eX-
pecting much. Owen Carroll, Geo.
Smith, Lii Stoner and Sam Gibson
are the veteran holdovers from
last season.

Steers To Play Bluffs
At Houston on 10th;
Rockies To Hurl

AUSTIN, Tex, March 18-Almost
simultaneously with the announce
ment that Texas would play the
Houston Bluffs, March 20, came the
announcement that the two games
with the Osaka team from Japan
had been cancelled. With the
cancellation of these two games,
the Texas officials started to look
ing about for additional trays.
In spite Of the rain and adverse
baseball weather the early part of
the week, the Steer baseball men
didn't get a complete rest, for
Disch had them working indoors,
and skull practice was the order of
affairs every afternoon.
Injuries have already taken their
toll Of the rather shaky Texas re-
ceiving staff, and ReeS will prob
ably watch the Buff game from the
bench. He suffered a split finger
when he stopped a fast one with
his bare hand. Carr and Lewis are
both in good shape but lack the
experience necessary to bring them
through. The hurting staff is in a
bad way, with Railton and Brown
ing suffering from severe colds, De
La Fuente still unable to regain
the control which stamped him as
one of the most promising candi-
dates for the hurting staff.
With these three men on the
sick list, the hurting duties will fall
to Peoples. Cheatham and the
other rockies who have been re-
porting since the season started.
Cheatham, a tall right-hander, has
a great curve ball and will be hard
to hit.
When the Bluffs invade Austin
for their one day stand. an ola
Texas star. Howard Williamson,
and a former Aggie flash. Joel
Hunt, will appear in their lineup.
Williamson will hold down one OF
the regular outfield positions, while
Hunt will cavort about in the in
field. The Bluffs will bring their
entire squad up for the fray and
will jump from here to College
Station where they engage the Ag-
gies in two games.

BACK on the training lot at Or
lando, Fla, today after a 700-mile
bus excursion that took in five ex-
hibition matches. it appeared that
at least two youngsters had made
good and were destined to remain
on the main line with the Gin
cinnati Reds this season. Pitcher
Silas Johnson hurled ten innings,
eight Of them against the power
full Philadelphia Athletics and the
worlds champion Yankees, and he
delivered.
The Waners haven't signed and
the makeup Of his infield has not
yet been definitely settled but
DOME Bush Is able to ditch at
least n worry. The Pirates are
beginning to hit. Twenty-seven
safeties were marked on the score
cards for the Pirates two exhibi-
ton games yesterday, 10 Of them
coming in the first contest which
Pittsburgh won from the San
Francisco Missions, ten to two. and
nine more in the contest the BUGS
dropped to Frisco, 5 to 8.
Red Sox rockies have bee. given
plenty of opportunity to demon
strate their ability this spring. They
had the field to themselves yester-
day against Indianapolis. Milt
Castor, pitcher. Bob Barrett. third
base, Jerry Standaert, first, and
Grant ellis, short, all made good
impressions. A ninth inning rally
gave the Sox the game II to 10.
So far this training season Babe
Ruth hasn't hit much bit air. He
seldom hits during spring training.
I'll find my eye in a few davs and
correct my timing. Then I'll hit

Andy Reese failed to touch second
base while advancing on Lind

oaseman called for the ball lust as
JOHNNY Evers did in 1908 and
touched the bag. This retired the

RED SOX BAKE ARMS;
FINE. CURE, SAYS BILL

BRANDENTON, Fla, March 18.-
R)-They are letting nature bring
the pitching arms around into shape
here at the Boston Red Sox spring
training camp.
Letting the sun bake arms is
better than rubbing, and that is our
svstem," said Manager Bill Carrigan.
I'VE put oil on the arms and let the
sun do the rest. 1t works wonders
sometimes"
Whatever Bill Carrigan does must
be the correct thing, for he knows
his pitchers.
