TIGERS SIGN MIKE
ASBENCH LEADER
Former Star Catcher Will
Rest in Europe-Giants
Add to Loop Lead.
BY SID FEEDER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

~ LID Pop Time marked up the
final out for one of base
I balls grander playing careers
~ today.
Mickey Cochrane was definitely and
officially through as catcher; in
the future, he'll be bench manager
only for his Detroit Tigers.
And all over the big leagues the
reaction was the same:
He was a great guy while he
had it."
Mickey is one of the fellows who
makes base ball the national pas
time. He was the sparkyplug of one
world championship team and back
bone and manager of another. But
in addition to all that he's a right
guy" The boys all like Mickey, and
base ball will have to go long way
to find another man in an iron
mask" with his playing ability, his
pepper" or his personality.
Officially, he's Gordon Stanley
Cochrane, but everywhere he's been
Mickey throughout his IL years in
the big time. His "a years and the
effects of a bean BALI that frac-
tured his skull early this season have
made him hang up his mitt and mask
for keeps.

ANALYSIS ALWAYS
REVEALS REASON
b. S. G. A. Is Commended for
Its interpretations OF
Many-AngIed Code.
BY W. r. McCALLUM.

- ONE people call 'em tricky and
without reason, but when you
sift down the basic idea behind
- the rules of golf you'll find that
each and every one of them is based on
common sense in a game where there
are nearly as many individual thoughts
on the conduct Of the game as there
are players. Every year the United
States Golf Association is called upon
to interpret the rules of golf. In
every case you'll find that their in
terpretations are founded on the rule
Of reason.
Take one of the new ones in the
book, for example, the one regarding
the referee holding the pin in a golf
match. And keep in mind the exist
ing rule that if the flag stick is struck
by a players ball he loses the hole.
The rules now read that a referee
shall not hold the pin. That job must
be done by the caddie of either player.
It's reasonable, isn't it. that when
O. player sends his caddie to the pin
he knows the penalty involved in case
his ball strikes the stick or the caddie
or his paraphernalia?
