DETROIT HOPES
SOARING HIGH
THIS YEAR

Editors Note-The. tolloDing
article on the Detroit Tigers is an
other of a series on major league
baseball prospectsJ
SAN ANTONIO, March ga
young infield and outfield and a
well-balanced division of veterans
and up-and-coming youngsters on
the pitching staff, have contrib
uted the elements that should
place the Detroit Tigers high in
the American League pennant
race this year. Manager "Bucky"
Harris, enthusiastic in the con-
viction that he has the best team
he ever managed, is placing the
bright high hopes of the Detroit
fans upon the shoulders of two
boys from Beaumont, of the
Texas League.
Lynwood CSchoolboy") Rowe,
mammoth 209-pound right handler,
who won 19 and lost 7 for the
Beaumont Exporters last year,
is to carry "Bucky's" hopes to
demolish the batting power of
Cleveland and Philadelphia and
make some mighty inroads into
the Yankee averages.
Tried at Third
Harris expects a lot from Rowe
and that side-arm curve and fast
ball which did SO much for the
Exporters last year. But the
Tigers big gamble this year is on
Hank Greenberg, 210-pound first
baseman for Beaumont last year,
who is being tried out at third
base.
Hank batted .29O with the Ex-
porters last year and led the
Texas League in home runs with
80. If Hank works out we'll at
third the infield utility job will
go to Henry Soluble, and Bill
Rogell and Marvin Owen will
fight it out for shortstop.
Owen batted .317 with Newark
last year and played first base.
Rogell was the regular shortstop
last season. Harris has a staff
Of nine pitchers. Charles Fischer,
from st. Louis; Fred Marberry,
from Washington; Thomas
Bridges, the boy who pitched an
almost perfect game for the
Tigers last year, who finished
with low earned-run average, 1856;
Elon Hogsett, George Uhle, John
Wyatt and Victor Sorrell. Orlin
Collier, Luke Hamlin, Francis
Nekola, Arthur Herring and Isl
dore Goldstein are fighting it out
for the ninth position. Nekola,
a southpaw, looks to have the
edge.
Keep Young Catcher
Ray Hayworth Is to hold the
first string catching position with
Eugene Desautels as understudy.
Frank Reiber, from the 1882 team
of the Exporters, is to be carried
to catch Rowe. This boy is a
hard hitter, batting .315 last
year.
Harry Davis, who Manager
Harris hopes will raise the bat
ting average Of .269 made last
year, will be at first and Charlie
Gehringer, consistent fielder and
hitter, at second.
Outfield No Problem
The outfield positions have
proved to be no problem to Har-
ris this year. He has Gerald
Walker in left, Erwin Fox in
center and John Stone in right.
Fox played with Beaumont last
year while the other two held
the same positions with the
Tigers.

MARTY SHO " 8
NEW PUNCH

Marty Gallagher, the "F'oggy
Bottom" heavyweight, today was
the toast of his staunch friends
who always insisted that the giant
Irishman possessed every requisite
to become g. topnotch fighter.
Not that his two-round kayo
over Bob Tow, Birmingham scrap
per. before 1000 fans in Portner's
Arena last night confirms their
belief, but the fire and dash
shown by Marty was the greatest
in his career which began back in
1926. His followers declare that
Marty need only display the same
roaring fury and killing punch in
future bouts and he will easily
gain the heights long predicted
for him.
Racing from his chair at the
start of the second, Gallagher
backed Tow into corner where
he whipped across a powerful
right-hander to the jaw and an
other one to the Dixie boys left
ear, which started the flow OF
blood.
Tow staggered to the center
only to be dropped with a terrific
right-hand clout to the jaw. The
battered Southerner fell to the
canvas and rolled over several
times as Referee Charlie Short
pealed off the count Of 10.
It was nearly an hour before
Tow completely regained his
senses and was able to recognize
his manager, Jimmy Erwin. The
knockout gave Gallagher revenge
for 1O-round decision Tow scored
over him last summer at Laurel.
Last night Gallagher had a 20
pound pull in the weights, tipping
the scales at 205 pounds.
The promised thriller between
Roddy Davis, local lightweight,
and Bucky Taylor, Baltimorean,
came a cropper. Davis was
awarded the decision when Taylor
received a nasty cut over his eye
in the first round.
Jesse Belt, Baltimore welter-
weight, flattened Kid Erdman,
Baltimore, in first round. Jack
Philadelphia bantam,
kayoed Buddy Spencer, Baltimore,
in third, and Jack Lamar, Cleve-
land featherweight, outpoinJed
Joe Raspi, Baltimore, four rounds.

June o'Day Consoles

The attractive June O'Day,
who recently appeared here IN
musical comedy and who is
married to the gallant but
goofy Senior Lefty Gomez,
Yankee pitcher, had to learn all
about the game of baseball
from her husband during their
courtship.
Gomez tells the story like
this:
1--WE came back from the
Yankee stadium one day, and
I had just lost a tough one in
13 innings to the White Sox.
I was pretty sore, and discour--
aged. But not june"
Don't take it so to heart
she told me. You'll be sure to
beat them tomorrow
"She actually thought I
pitched every day."

letter men of the 1888 floor team.
Carolan has one more year of

some think that he may be
chosen by letter men of the base
ball team of 1884. If Carolan is
chosen captain of the baseball

The Pen and Papers

He produced the fountain
pen with which Babe affixed
his signature, followed by that
Of Colonel Rupert.
On being handed back the
pen Mr.. Hanna, one of the most
beloved men of his profession
and a veteran who never used
a typewriter, but always wrote
his stories in long hand, re-
marked:
"'I'm going to save this pen
as a souvenir. Furthermore,
I'm going to have a gold band
made for it, inscribing it with
the notation that. it was used to
sign the only contract ever
made calling for a salary of
$4,000 for a single years work."
So far the inscription has held
good and probably will for a
long, long time.

helpfulness. patience and cooperation
