Prize Nat Rocks
Tackle Tigers
Tomorrow
Interest in Second
Tests of Musterson,
Ortiz Is Keen
Epecial Dispatch to The Star.


OCALA, Fla, March 25.-The
toughest test In sports-the repeat
performance-will be applied tomor-
row to the Mats prize pitching
rockies, Walter Masterson and
Roberto Ortiz, when the Detroit
Tigers cross the path Of the Griff-
men for the third time this spring.
The occasion is stirring up more
interest than any Washington grape
fruit circhit game in years, and
perhaps justifiably so. 1t may de-
velop the Mats hopes mainly will
be wrapped in these two youngsters,
18-year- old Masterson from the
semi-pro lots of Pennsylvania and
21-year -old Ortiz from the cane
fields of Cuba.
Of what they have shown so far,
they seem to stand a chance to
make the grade with a club pitt
fully weak in pitching. In three
inning stretch against the Tigers a
week ago Ortiz hurled three run
less, hitless innings and single
handedly won the game with a triple
and single And the following day
Masterson did a four inning stretch
against the same club, with brilliant
results.
New Trade Rumor in Air.
The Mats. leading the exhibition
circuit with four straight wins, were
here today to face Milwaukee but it
was just another ball game to them.
In tomorroW's affair is where the
interest lies.
1t is asking a good deal of two
Youngsters without benefit of pro-
fesslonal experience to step out and
conduct a game against the Tigers
by themselves but the Mats pitch
ing is such that it must be done.
Masterson, rated the No. / plum of
the rookie crop, will open the game,
and Ortiz, ranked No. 2, is sched-
uled to finish it.
Meanwhile, a rumor wave was roll
ing over the Mats There is trade
talk in the air and Clark Griffith
as usual, isn't saying anything. But
he cooked an attentive ear to the
report that frankie Pytlak had re-
turned to the Indians and an
nounced future good faith.
Griff Ranks frankie No. 2.
But I'm not particularly inter-
ested in Pytlak," said Griffith. I'm
not interested much in any player
who's been around for while. We're
rebuilding and if 1 trade for any,
thing it will be for young stuff"
There can be nothing certain
about club owner when trade is
the topic. They make up their
minds overnight and change them
in an hour. Pytlak isn't the worst
catcher in the American League. In
fact. Griffith ranked him right be-
hind Bill Dickey of the Yankees a
few weeks ago and if the Old Fox
thinks he can grab frankie there
may be something in the wind.
1t is believed the trouble in New
Orleans, where the Indians train. is
a rivalry between Pytlak and Rollie
Hemsley. Each wants to be the
regular catcher and has said So
Pytlak walked out of this.
IT he ever wound up with the
Mats. however, frankie would have
little assurance that he would catch
every game. Manager Bucky Harris
and Griff seem sold on young Jake
Early and at press time Mr.. Harris
was saying that he intends to catch
Early when the enemy uses right
handed pitchers.
So it may be just one of those
wild rumors, incapable of holding
water, or it may be the Mccoy.
