Baker Calls
Tigers Good;
Shuns Claims
Hanks Draft Woes
Biggest IF Problem
of Pennant H opes
By LEO MACDONELL

LAKELAND, Fla, March s.
With all hands due in camp, the
Tigers were to plunge into inten-
sive training here Sunday, a steady
grind of practice and exhibition
games that will continue until the
American League champions open
their 1871 regular season schedule
against the Brown in st. Louis,
April IS.
With one week of training, in
which he got a pretty good look
at the recruits, Del Baker ex-
pressed himself pleased with the
prospects of rebuilding the Tigers
into another formidable outfit.
Baker never makes extravagant
claims. In fact. the Tiger man
ager is very much on the conserva-
tive side. But, he confides, that
the Tigers Took pretty good for
another season"
Baker Is Hopeful
Baker didn't claim a pennant
last year, nor is he claiming one
this year.
"But. we should do pretty
well, barring unforeseen acct
DENTS" the manager of the
champions predicted.
The Tigers. like other clubs,
have ifs, but they have what
looms as bigger If than most
clubs. That is-if Hank Green
berg, is an early draftee, which
currently appears to be. The loss
of Greenberg, even for only part
of the season, will hurt. Baker,
least of all, will claim that the
big slugger's absence will not hurt.
Just who will fill Greenberg's
shoes when he does go, at the mo-
ment is highly speculative. While
it is a lot to expect of boy fresh
off a college campus, there seems
to be a feeling among observers
here that Hoot Evers, the lad from
the University of Illinois, may
make the grade this year. Evers
has shown that he can hit, which
is the principal thing.

Wares Hurt,
Wings Down
Canadien Six
Right Winger Breaks
His Shoulder and Is
Out for the Season
BY LEWIS ii. WALTER

MONTREAL. March S.-Detroit
Red Wings virtually clinched third
place in the National Hockey
League by defeating Montreal
Canadians here tonight.
The score was 40, with Mud
Bruneteau. sgd Howe. Gus Giese-
brecht and Alex Motter bagging
the Detroit goals in that order.
The game was an expensive one
for the Detroiters, who lost the
services of Eddie Wares, their star
right winger. for the rest of the
season. Wares suffered broken
right shoulder when he crashed
into the boards during scramble
in the second period.
The victory gave the Red Wings
a lead of four points over the
fourth-place Rangers. who were
idle. The Detroiters now need 10
pick up only one more point in
their three remaining games TO
assure themselves the coveted
birthplace spot, even if the New
Workers win their last two games.

Naueatuck, April D--Deep and sin- Htfo regret was expressed In many parts of the town today when news of the death of one of the towns most charitable and leading citizens, Miss Gertrude B. Whittemore of 30l Church street, became generally known.
 Miss Whittemore died yesterday afternoon ct 4 o'clock at the Good Enmaritan hospital, West Palm Beach, Fla. She had been vacation tng in Florida since Feb. IS and was taken suddenly i'll on March lS. She had shown improvement and her death come as a shock to local residents.
 It was not only Miss Wl1ittemore's intimate friends who expressed sor- row at her passing. It was hundreds of local residents also, whom Miss Whittemore probably never knew, but who knew of the generous mad really good deeds she has done for the town and its citizens. To some of these the fact that 1t happened to be in e hospital by the name of Good Samaritan that she passed away was in @ way fitting, for they felt that she was an unobtrusive

 Her philanthropies were many, some the general public knew about, many more which only Q few heard of, except those who benefited.
 She was the chairman of the board of trustees of the Howard Whlttemore Memorial library and also founded the Childrens library here, two institutions which have helped thousands of local residents, and to the maintenance of which Miss Whittemore contributed much. ent.
 Kept Charity Secret
 Miss Whiteemore probably would not have liked Q story of this sort to be written about her, for the good that the beneficiarieS of her phil- anthropies derived from her char itable acts was in itself sufficient reward for the deeds, and she did not feel entitled to public acclaim.
 Yet there is no denying the fact that in her passing the borough has lost one of its most ardent well-wish- CTS, o citizen who made the borough a happier place for many residents.
 She founded and aided the work ing Girls club, which was in exist- ence here for Q number of years. She also supervised the manage ment of Hamilton house, Q rooming house for women here, until @ few years ago.
 She was Q woman of fine charac- ter One of her hobbies was flowers and she took keen interest in the raising of many flowers. For many years, she was active in the Red Cross here. She could be always counted upon for generous donation to any worthy cause here.
 She had keen intellect and took an interest in the progress of the borough and of It's citizens. At no time did she ever lose this interest and she was exceptionally well inc formed on local activities. ... ....
 Born Here
 She was born in Naugatuck, the daughter of the late MT. and Mrs. John H. Whittemore. Her father was one of the founders of the Eastern Malleable Iron Company here, which now has plants in several other cities as well as in Naugatuck. She was the sister of the late Har- ris Whittemore, ST., one of the bor- ough's most prominet residents.
 She was Q member Of the Con- gregational church and of the Aid society of that church.
 She leaves her nephew, Harris Whittemore, IT,, who Is himself convalescing from an Illness at Or- lando, Fla, and Q niece, Mrs. Charles H. Upson, of Middlebury.
