TWO JOBS open
WITH TIGERS

NEW YORK, Dec. 14-The
third base and shortstop positions
on the Detroit Club will be wide
open" when the Tigers hit train
ing camp next spring. Manager
Bucky Harris declared today.
Harris expects Johnny Owen,
rookie infielder from New York, to
land one of the posts. owen was
voted the most valuable player in
the International League in 1882.
Billy Rhiel, a hard hitter but
an indifferent fielder, has been
tried at third base by the Tigers
in the past, but Harris intends to
use him mainly as a pinch hitter
next year. ,,
Harris will put a young, fast
club on the field. He uncovered
one star last season in Harry Da-
Wis. rookie first baseman. He ex-
poets that Fox, an outfielder COM
ing up from the Beaumont Club
of the Texas League, will play on
the picket line alongside of Gerald
Walker and Jonathan Stone.

fight at Portner arena last night,
but he isn't particularly proud of
the victory.
Landers, starting off his regu-

The Arthur De Beve-K. o. Tony
SteltZ Scuffle ended in the sixth
round among much excitement,
when De Beve sunk under q low
blow, which was unnoticed by
Referee Short, who counted him
out. A physician who examined
Frenchman in the ring, found
proof that he had been fouled,
and Short awarded him the de-
ciSion.
