put o mite in the shade by the
glamour of Al Simmons in their
midst.
Petey and Gerald had grown
into the hearts of the Tiger fol
lowing, which, as the season wore
on showed unmiStakable signs OF
their resentment at inserting "the
great Simmons" into the picture,
despite his fancy stick work that
certainly made up for the pro-
longed absence of Hank Greenberg
Meanwhile Cochrane must have
thought more than once during the
past winter what an impaSse the
Simmons situation had presented
as between the fans and the De-
troit club. Little wonder, then,
that Mickey took himself out OF
the middle at the first decent OF,
fer for Simmons-which happened
to come from Washington.
It meant the breaking up Of a
very old friendship. for Cochrane
and Simmons played the best days
of their baseball life, side by side,
under the banner of Connie Mack.

Wilson's Face
TeChn1en In
Debut
BY GARRETT WATERS

Once again that old bugaboo,
pitching, stares interhigh teams
In the face as the 1887 series be-
gins its drama for the season
The team that gets the major
portion Ct it from now until the
end of the schedule. late in May,
will, no doubt. become the cham
pion.
Well, let's see, Woodrow Wilson
has Kilmer Bortz, righthand strike
out artist, as its star.
Tech has Tommy Doonis, who
pitched a few games last year, and
Buddy Webb, promising newcomer,
who may become the 1887 series
sensation.
The teams were slated to open
the series today at the Roosevelt
Stadium, but the game has been
postponed until next week due to
rain and wet grounds. The actual
date will be announced later.
Rafferty, at Western
Western, the defending champ,
has Bob Rafferty,, who many be
lieve will take the place OF Lee
Kushman, southpaW, who pitched
the team to the title last year.
Rafferty, is a Highlander. Too,
Western has Toby Bright, new.
conner, who has looked very good
In practice sessions.
Eastern's lineup is probably the
most impressive. Lefty Pembroke
is the cream of the crop in this de-
partment's opinion. although Rip
Carver is on hand as is Lee LuSoy,
of basketball fame. Both of the
latter are right-handers.
Then there's Roosevelt and Cen
trail. The Riders will depend upon
Sammy Mallos, highlander, for
the major portion of the work with
Lefty Bauer and Jack Hudson in
reserve.
Central has four pitchers, all Of
whom are unknowns. The list is
headed by Bill Noonan, who in all
probability, will get the call next
Tuesday when Coach Ray sends
his crew against Western at Cen
trail. The others are Dick Rozelle,
Buck Jones and Bill Sondhelmer,
the latter a southpaw.
The Tech-WilSon opening game,
incidentally, looms as a toss-up.
Woodrow Wilson has a determined
lineup, led by the redoubtable
Kilmer Bortz, ready for a strong
showing, while Tech has its six vet
Grams of last years team to give 1t
experience.
Both teams looked good in pre-
season games. Woodrow Wilson
defeated st. Adams handily last
week, 8 to 4, while Wednesday.
Tech gave st. Peters High, OF
Jersey City, N. j., 9-to.8 trim
ming.
Cammack Can Hit
Woodrow Wilson exhibited a
hard hitting outfielder in Travis
Cammack in the st. Adams tus-
sic while Tech had Abe Fillah and
Walton Merchant pounding the
pill against st. Peters.
The game will mark Woodrow
Wilson's debut in the interhigh
series. For Tech it will be the be-
ginning of what Rusty Thompson,
coach, and his players, hope will
eventually mean the champion
ship. The Trainers are out for it
this year and believe with few
favors in the breaks the pennant
will come their way.

News and Notes
Andy Slaughter, chairman of
the Chamber Of Commerce,
stepped out to the plate before
the game and presented a floral
horse shoe to President Clark
C.. Griffith. KY Harris and
John Camel posed for the
cameras and then Griff sent the
flowers out to Orange General
Hospital to bring cheer to some
of the patients in that splendid
institution.
Jimmy Wasden hit a ball three
miles into right center field in the
opening game. But Jess Hill is
trained to greyhound condition,
what with running after Rudy
York'S Smashes, and he caught
the ball.
Al Simmons played close to the
left field foul line and gathered

greatly disappointed when it failed
to drop in safely.

The pitchers do not put enough

lay the ball over the plate, with
little stuff on it, and when the
time comes for exerting real
power in a game, find themselves
short.

Experts who have designed low-cost
dwellings for 100000 persons may
form the nucleus for the proposed Fed
eral Slum Clearance Authority.
The Senate in approving the Wag-
ner housing bill voted general super
vision to Secretary Ickes, who directed

II the House passes the measure his
!ob will be financing in the next three
years dwellings enough to house-for
example-all the people of Pittsburgh.
1ckes frequently has asserted that
experience acquired by P. w. A. in the
Nations first low-rent housing pro-
gram could be passed on to cities
wishing to develop their own projects.
Under the pending legislation the
cities would plan their own develop
ments and ask the national authority
for financial aid.
F. w. A. architects and engineers
have insisted, in their $4,000 600

room be an outside room and that
modern kitchen and bath room equip

Since the Federal low-rent housing
program began. 81 States have created

Whereas construction of P. w. A.
dwellings cost about 81 $50 a room. the

Rising costs for building materials
and labor may tighten the P. w. A.
