WAKEFIELD CONSIDERED
 DISCOVERY
Scout Al Egdn Regards De- troit Tiger Player as
 One of Best Finds
By WATSON SPOELSTRA AP Feature Service

DETROIT, July 3l.-Owner Wal ter O. Briggs of the Detroit Tigers is more of a hard-headed business man than a gambler when he sends his greenbacks after talent such as Richard Cummings Wake field. the $45 ,000 collegian.
 When Briggs, the wealthy manu- facturer of automobile bodies, as- founded baseball with his record bonus for college sophomore two or three years away from the ma jors, he was backing the Judgment of his foremost ivory hunter, sil- ver-haired Aloysius J. (Wish) Egan.
 For 25 years Egan has combed the Middle West for players for Detroit. He currently has nine finds in the majors.
 Perhaps Egan saw in Wakefield the opportunity to erase from memory his disappointment over the signing in 1915 by the St.. Louis Browns of George Sisler, Michigan pitcher and first base man. George hit American League pitching for a l3-year mark of .341.
 Egan, himself a former pitcher who never was quite good enough for the majors, spotted Sisler at Ann Arbor. He reported to Frank Navin, Tiger owner.
 Branch Hickey, then manager of the Browns, came up with the Sisler contract. Egan was blame less but it was NOT pleasant to reflect that the first player he un- covered got away.
 It was the Sisler incident that started Egan as talent scout. His current crop includes Barney Me- Cosky, Harold Newhouser, Pat Mulline and Paul Trout of Detroit, Roy Cullenbine and Chester Laabs of the Browns, Mike Fresh of the White Sox, Benny Mccoy of the Athletics and Maurice Van Robays of the Pirates.
 But in 25 years of watching Egan never again saw a player he could bracket with Sisler until Wakefield came along this spring. It wasn't what he did that im- pressed the scout but the way he did it..

six years ago. was caught short when the government went into the trailer market. Safe trailera cost money-big money. If they are going to be yanked all over the land from border to border, they have to be on sturdy frames. If they are going to be occupied in winter and summer, they have to be built like permanent homes. Such trailers--luxury homes, in a sense-never could be built to supply only migratory workers incomes. Thus, the recession of 1897 played hobb with the trailer industry and when the govern ment went into the market with q wholesale demand. it found very low supply.
 Under the impetus of govern ment demand, the trailer business is booming again. but whether 1t will last is another problem. Stop gap housing is just what the name implies and it doesn't last forever. Better methods catch up with it and make 1t obsolete.

The Government turned to the only agency that had had any ex- perience in this problem and FSA went all out for mobile housing
 This mobile housing" has re- suited in phase of living which may hang on for many years. In an even dozen defense areas, FSA now has 3,l94 trailers, housing from two to five persons. at rem tals of from $6 to $650 week. Not only is the total output of the trailer industry completely ab- sorbcd now, but, according to es- inmates here, the output for the next six months is wholly con- tracted.
 At the moment. there are camps of 200 or more trailers at Baltimore. Erie, Pa. Ravenna, Ohio; Burlington, Iowa. Kings bury-LaPorte. Ind; Jacksonville, and Wilmington. N. O.; Nashville, Tenn; and San Diego; and small CT camps at sPaso Robles and Ben icia, Cal; and Bethlehem, Pa.
 Built in units around service buildings. these trailer camps close ly resemble the trailer towns tat follow the seasonal migrations along the two coasts. There is, however. one important difference. National defense trailers do not have to be always on the go. They might set- tie down in a community for a year or so until their wheels are hub deep in the soil.
