LAKELAND. Fla. March l.
Del Baker today emphasized that
"all Jobs are wide open" as Tigers
assembled for the opening Of the
Spring training season here start
ing this Sunday.
When 1t was suggested that
Birdie Tebbetts. Rudy York and
Hank Greenberg were pretty sure
of their jobs the Tiger manager
declared: 1T still goes"
~ appreciate that 1t may b
difficult to find better players
for these positions" Baker ex-
planned with a grin. but any boy
that can make one Of those Jobs
or any other on the club Is GER
tainly welcome to the Tigers"
No Easy Task
But. whereas a half dozen or
more regulars may be sure of their
Jobs, Bakers task is no easy one.
The team that wins pennant is
usually pretty well set for the
following year. But. combina-
ton of age and the military draft
has made the Tigers future I'm
certain-very much so.
The draft hinges around Hank
Greenberg, who, if he is an early
conscript, will leave large sized
hole in the Detroit batting order.
Age. of course, concerns Charley
Gehringer, Pinky Higgins and Dick
Bartell, and makes the Tiger in
field uncertain.
While it is almost certain Hank
Greenberg will start the league
season, with Barney McCosky and
either Tuck Stainback or Bruce
Campbell the other regulars,
Baker will need to develop at least
two other outfielders. They will
come from Pat Mullin, Ned Har-
ris, Bob Patrick and Hoot Evers.
Mullin is back from Buffalo and
Harris and Patrick up from Beau
mont.
Besides Rudy York, Gehringer
Higgins and Bartell. the infielderi
include Dutch Meyer. frankie
Croucher, Eric McNair. Murray
Franklin and Boyd Perry.
Twenty of the 40 Tiger candi-
dates listed are pitchers, nearly
half of them new. Among the new
Fingers from whom Baker expects
to pluck a couple or two promis-
ing enough for tryouts in the big
show are Earl Cook, Charley
Fuchs, Harold Manders, Leslie
Mueller, Virgil Trucks, Bob Uhle
and Harold White.
After approximately five weeks
in Florida, the Tigers will break
camp here April 8 and journey
north. The first exhibition game
will be played with the Cleveland
Indians in Lakeland, March Is.
