GOOD MATERIAL
 IN MAKEUP OF
 DETROIT TIGERS
Mickey Cochrane Ma k $ No Prediction Regard
 ing His B. B. Outfit
By MICKEY COCHRANE (Manager Detroit Tigers)

LAKELAND, F1d., Aprll lz.-Nl matter where lot of major league ball clubs wind up this year, in- cluding the Tigers, am surs more aggressive spirit will be shown on the field and that the games will be more hotly contest ed.
 The American League to my mind, is better balanced than at any time in the 10 years I have been in the circuit. Fellows like Bucky Harris, Rogers Hornsby, Wal ter Johnson, Joe Cronin and my self--all either in new job or with comparatively brief exper- fence as manager-will have the teams hustling right from the be- ginning.
 More clubs figure they have a chance to be in the pennant hunt than usual. No team is really out classed, so far as can see, and a few good breaks for one club or another might upset all ad- vance calculations.
 Senators and Yankees
 consider the Senators and the Yankees as the clubs Detroit must beat if we are able to be up there fighting for the championship. feel sure we have a real first dl- vision prospect, but I would not care to make a flat prediction on where the Tigers will finish Base ball has too many uncertainties to start trying to pay off before the race is even begun.
 There is not a team in the en- tire league outside of Washington which hasn't at least one or two doubtful spots in the lineup. Ii the men we have available come through at third base and short

stop; if we get the power we eX- pect from batters like Goose Cos lin and big Hank Greenberg, our first baseman; and if our pitching staff measures up to all the real stuff I know it's got-why, you will be hearing from us right up to and including September.
 have no hesitation is saying l think we have the best pitching in the league, with the possible exception of Cleveland Tom Brid- ges, Fred Marberry and Viv Fra sier will do the heaviest work and the most consistent winning, aided by Elon Hogseth, Charles Fischer, Vir Sorrell and, I hope at least two of the three outstanding re- cruits-Elden Auker, Luke Hanlin and Steve Larkin.
 Third Base Only Doubtful Spot
 I expect to catch at least 125 games myself and get my share of base knocks. I have been aver aging better than 120 for the last nine years, and I don't see any reason why I can't keep it up for two or three more seasons, at least. My legs feel just about as good as they ever were.
 The only position that isn't set is third base Marvin Owen will get another good chance to come through, but we also have a good looking prospect in Herman Cliff ton, the Cincinnati boy who played with Beaumont in the Texas league last year. If this great young fielding shortstop, Frankie Par ker, could hit, I might move Rog- well over to third, but that isn't likely to develop. Parker is one of the best defensive short stops I have ever seen.
 Greenberg and Charley Gehrin- ger, the best second baseman in the league, will take care of the other side Of the lnfleld.
 The outfield will start with Cos lin in right, Erwin Fox in center and Gerald Walker in left. I think they will give us more of punch than the Tigers have had since the days of Cobb and Craw- ford. Manush and Hellman
 Goslin is the kind of a hitter who breaks up a ball game, and I was tickled to death to get him in the trade with Washington in exchange for Jonathon Stone. Wal ker is the best base-runner in the league, and he will hit 300. He and Foxx are both just past 25 and developing rapidly.

 CT from Box

OAKLAND, Cal, April 12.-Le- roy Anton, first baseman, hit a home run over the left field fence yesterday afternoon to break a tie score and enable Oakland to de- feat Seattle 6 to in a hard fought game.
 The Seattle Indians tied the score all in the seventh inning when they pushed over three runs and knocked Ray Kremer out of the box Larry Gillick then held the Indians hitless thereafter.
 Caster went the route for the Indians and pitched steady game.

cruise which would last about twenty-seveh days, from the time the Victoria left Seattle until it's return.
 It is the plan for the s. s: Vie toria to call at Nome snorth-boun1 Ion her way to the Arctic and ai- low the passengers and tourists an opportunity to come ashore az. this famous gold site. The vessel is then to proceed north into the Arctic and along the Siberian coast as far as safety advises. This feature has been added t. the regular schedule to afford sight seers the opportunity of see
 ing the polar bear, walrus and seal. The vessel will then put back to Kotzebue and thence thru
 Bering Straits to Nome, before proceeding south to Seattle.
 With this itinerary announced it seems to us that the Northwestern Alaska Fair Association should get
 together and announce their pub licity campaign and advise all nT the people in the surrounding sec tions of their plans. We believe a very creditable fair can be given Iduring the summer time We will
 have the chance to show the tour ists and passengers enroute north,
 the products of this great north land of ours. It isss believed that
 the Fair board has been working on this program for some time
 past but the time is drawing near when arrangements should be Icompleted and plans announced so as to inform everyone when and
 how the fair Mll, be given.

EoNGsHOREMEN's STRIKE EFFECT NORTHERN SECTIONS BUT NO CAUSE FOR ALARM

The Strike now on along the entire Pacific Coast, with the lonS shoremen seems well to be pro longed for s9me time. No imme- diate alarm is being felt here, al though the seriousness of the sit nation cannot very we'll be over looked
 The s. $. Baldwin of the Arctic Transport Go. and the steamers Victoria and Derblay of the Al aska Line have already been held up and prevented from sailing ou schedule. Strenuous efforts were made on every hand during the past two weeks to influence the longshoremen in loading these vessels and permit them to bring the provisions which Nome and nort hwestern Alaska is in such need of. Evidently all efforts have failed for Friday their un- ion announced they did not in- tend to make any more eXceF- tions for boats sailing for Alaska. They claim there is no emerg- eney in Alaska.

WHAT ABOUT THE FAIR
 THIS SUMMER?

Considering all details of the past several fairs held in Nome for Northwestern Alaska products, it behooves the citizens. of Nome and of the Second Division to get busy and prepare for the one, sche- duled for this summer.
 The fair was originally sched- uled for this spring. but due to unforeseen circumstances it was post pened until August. The AL aska Steamship. Company then an nounced it was slalng an Arctic criuse to take place in August: a

En- ough canned milk remains to last for several weeks; Other lines, such as meats, and canned yege- tables are slowly but surely going down As a matter of fact, Nome which has been living for the past eight months on the stock of food shipped in last fall, must have pro visions. and soon.
 No alarm, of starvation stares us in. the face but just the same We should continue doing every thing possible to get the Alaska ahirs released.

 ' From present indications, But

 eHe's not going to make any seri- 6us charges unless he has seme- Thing to back them up. We'll have
 men here with bigger names than
 his."
 3 Butler returned to his home at Newton Square, Pa, yesterday, ob- lvious of the excitement his sen eational charge aroused throughout ti1e country. Public comment was Voluminous and almost all ques- Noned the seriousness of the former Alarine officers charge. In brief, Buffers story told in executive ses- sion to the congressional commit tee was:--
 Story Butler Told
 ,. MacGuire approached him first last summer with a proposal that he lead an army of 500,0O0, made fip mostly of war veterans, ITO save the capitalistic system" 1n-
 dmidated by this show of force, it %as hoped President Roosevelt would turn over power to Butler, Who would be appointed secretary Of state then the president and xic ca-president would resign or be- come figureheads.
 VI The march was planned for next Summer. The packers had $3,000,- U0O in cash immediately available and could raise $50,000,000 in &hort order.
 - This was all outlined to Butler in his first conversation with Mac Guire. he said. It looked like trea- Son to him, but he wanted more fnformation, he testified. There fore he made no definite decision fmmediately. MacGuire told him, ne said. that Wall street interests Were behind the plot. Later, he &aid, MacGuire arranged for a .Eneeting with Robert Stirling Clark, . wealthy man with Wall street V $fS,OOO for Expenses

Later Clark a4oO offered him money, he said, and MacGuire showed him bank book with deposits of some $6O,000 10 pay his expenses. Butler said she told Clark he ought to be Ashamed.

denial. He said Buffers story was a "publicity stunt" that he had never discussed anything remotely bearing on plot to overthrow the government with him and that his influence in Wall street amounted to that of a $75 a week bnod sales man. MacGuire said he had known Butler for years.
 Story Is "Fantasy"
 Colonel Murphy said he did not know Butler except by reputa- tion," hut his story was a fan tasy." Clark is in Europe and could not be reached immediately. La- mont said the story was pure moonshine." General Johnson's s comment was:-
 He'd better be pretty damn careful. Nobody said a word to be about anything of this kind, and if they did I'd throw them out the window. I know nothing about it."
 Thomas Is Doubtful
 San Francisco, Nov 21.-(UP)-- Norman Thomas, leader of the so- cialist party in the United States, does not believe that it would be worth $3,000, 900 to any Wall street group to set up fascist govern ment in the United States.
 Commenting on reports that Maj Gen Smedley Butler, had been or fered that amount to be the leader of fascist revolt, Thomas told the United Press that 1t would take more than Buffers word ito con- vince me of sue ha plot"
 q believe there are dangerous fascist tendencies in America to- day but I don't believe that it would be worth $3,000,000 to any Wall street group ta attemnt to overthrow the government under the present administration, be- cause Wall street and big business have fiourished under 1t more than any other group"
 Thomas is on the Pacific coast on a lecture tour.

 Mobilize at Elk Ridge
 New York, Nov 21-(UP)-Con- gressional committee investigation of a purported plot to set up a fas- cist dictatorship in the United States led today to allegations that an army of 100000 veterans was to have been mobilized at an Elk Ridge. Md. c. c. c. camp for march on Washington.
 The proposed Elk Ridge base was disclosed as the congressional committee convened to consider further details of the supposed plot.
 The committee. however, took up the question of communistic ac- tivities in the fur industry before summing more witnesses in the fas- cist affair.
 One of the witnesses in the ex- ecutive session at which the Butler charges were made yesterday was Captain Samuel Glazier, cornman- dant of the Elk Ridge camp.
