KIDS PARADISE RIGHT FIELD STANDS
Win or Lose. Tigers Are Heroes to Youngsters
BY CLAYTON HEPLER

Baseball may become a bore
in the Briggs Stadium press box
when the Tigers are behind and
show no signs of life. as was the
case yesterday when the Wash
ington Senators eased their way
to a II victory.
But there was one spot where
every putout was greeted with a
cheer or a jeer, depending upon
which team was at bat. II was
in the right field stands where
1.0l9 school kids were packed in
as the guests of Walter o.
Briggs.
It's like that every kids day,
which, incidentally. is not an an
nual affair. II comes much
oftener, and about $4,000 attend
free of charge each year, much
TO their delight.
It's quite an occasion for the
kids from suburban schools,
most Of whom never before have
seen a major league ball game.
Such was the case of 12-year-old
Margaret Pyla, who is in the
sixth grade of the Big Beaver
public school.

Braves
Drop Yves
FerreEE

BOSTON, May 9.-The baseball
curtain today was lowered ap-
parently for the last time-on the
major league career of Wesley
Cheek Terrell, the temperamental
one-time American League mound
ace.
The husky right handler, who
won 81 games in his first four
years with Cleveland, was given
his outright release by the Boston
Braves as manager Casey Stengel
shaved his Gilman squad to %
four above the 25-player limit
which goes into effect May Is.
Rookie catcher John Stats was
optioned TO the Hartford Farm
Club of the Eastern league.
Terrell, who saw service with
Cleveland, Boston Red Sox, Wash
ington, New York Yankees and
Brooklyn Dodgers, attributed his
release to Manager Stengels hos
tile feeling.
81 know can pitch as well
or better than anybody on this
club, but 1t looks as though the
manager just didn't want me-"
he said. Terrell appeared in four
games with the Braves and won
two and lost one.

.Cenier Titans'
Weak Spot
Despite BdnOnis

Vince Banonis, center and cap
tain-elect of the University of
Detroit football team. is one of
the best pivot men in the col
legiate grid ranks. But the lack
of any seasoned requirements for
the Titan leader makes the mid
die of the line the weakest spot in
the veteran lineup that u. of D..
plans to put on the field next Fall.
1 That was the opinion expressed
by Coach Gus Dorais at conclusion
of Spring training season with an
Iinter-squad game at u. of d. Field.
The Varsity defeated the Yanni-
gans. 1875.
Henry Piper has the inside
track for the left-half job that AL
IGhesquiere is leaving. Pip r
spanked the regulars through the
contest. He scored one touch
down and played a prominent part
in the second scoring drive. Al
Goodrich made the second from
the two.
The Yannigans counted in the
| closing minutes OF play on sue
cessful aerial attack that re-
volved around Jack Buck and Art
Link. Buck started pitching on
his own As, and continued hitting
his target for short gains until
Link gathered nein near the
goal line and romped over just
before the game ended.
Yesterdays starting varsity
lineup probably will be the regu-
! lar u. of d. eleven next Fall. II
includes Capt. Banonis. center;
Dick Pugh and Tom Mclaughlin,
guards; Bob Harrington and Ed
Rice, tackles; Howard Heating
and Frank Hayes, ends; Art Link,
quarter; Piper. left-half: Bob
Keene. right half; and Al Good
rich. fullback.

everything that happened to him
in camp and wanted the famous
ball player to write something
in it.

FORT CUSTER, May e.-Hank
Greenberg emerged today as one
of the most popular figures among
the draftees at Fort Custer after
running a gauntlet of heckling,
ribbing and good-natured taunts.
That's okeh," he said as he
grinned at one of the iibes. 1--WE
run into worse than that In the

Alta boy" came a concerted
shout from his fellow soldiers
as he refused to let the ribbing
fluster or anger him.

While not exactly old stuff. the

TAKES 1T GRINNING

Most of the heckling the big
ball player underwent bore on the
huge disparity between his base
ball salary and the pay he would
receive as a house guest of Uncle
Sam. but he took it all grinning.
This was Hanks first full day
in camp and his first in uniform.
He's 6 foot 3 and the army equip

Wherever he went. he was be-

aays that Asaza1l
people have mistaken notion
about It being unlawful to have
venison in ones possession after
January |. He says one can keep
venison as long as one wishes pro-
vided it is lawfully tagged. II one
is given venison, he should obtain
a written statement from the donor
to the effect that the -venison was
lawfully killed. Wiley says the
law requires that the tag shall
be kept attached thereto SO long as
any considerable portion of the car
cass remains unconSumed."
Mr.. Wiley also says information
has come to his attention to the eff
feet that some people think the pro-
vision against shooting from a
highway does not apply to forest
roads. He says that idea is wholly
wrong. The prohibition applies to
any public highway and it has been
ruled that any highway built and
maintained by public funds is pub
lie highway under the intent Of this
law. A forest road would therefore
come under such Interpretation in
asmuch as forest roads are built
and maintained by public funds"
In this connection he also recalls
that it is unlawful to shoot from
ones car.
