thing in major league baseball right

Fleming, who battered Southern
Association fences for a .414 average

week to become the greatest threat
to the continued reign of Joe Cor
don, New York Yankees, as the
leading batter in the American
League.
While Gordon slipped from .367 to
1853, Fleming raped II hits In Is

astounding average Of .667 for the
week. That barrage lifted him
from fourth in the league race to
second with .346 figure.
The Brooklyn pair of Pete Reiser
center fielder, and Joe Medwick, left
fielder, continued to dominate the
National League. although both fell

Reiser, boasting an average OF

DETROIT, June 30.-The Detroit
Tigers came to bat today with pro-
posals that the baseball season Of
1943 be reduced by two months and
that the Southern spring training
program be abandoned. -
Offering each as a war measure.
General Manager Jack Zeller Of
the Tigers said he would present
his ideas to the annual midsummer
meeting Of the American League
club owners in New York, July 6..n
One dovetails into the other, Zei-
Ter said, with the spring training
to be carried on in the park at
home during the period which nov
constitutes the first month of the
playing schedule. Under Zelleris
plan, the season also would finish a
month earlier. 90
Zeller said he proposed elimina-
ton of the Southern training tour
because of fear that there might
be housing shortage in the South
as far as major leaguers were con-
cerned next year in view of expand
ing military facilities. Furthermore,
he said, there should be no intru-
sion on the Army. %.
Sock at Baseball Tradition.
The Tiger boss mentioned, for ex.
ample. that the Government was
taking over hotels in Miami and
Miami Beach, Fla, to house Air
Corps trainees. He expressed doubt
whether the Tigers own spring base
at Lakeland, Fla, would be avail
able in 1943 because the town has
become training center for Amer
lean and British pilots.
Troop movements also may cut
down on the railroad space, Zeller
said.
The proposal to eliminate South
ern training is sock at a hoary
baseball tradition and practice,
which Zeller admits. He insisted,
however, that players could get into
condition at home just as well.
For the months training period,
Zeller proposed that week ends be
given to interleague games between
the ajor league members and week
days to the routine drill at home.
Zeller conceded that he expected
no hasty approval of his sugges-
tions but he added:
After the clubs go a little deeper
into the spring training problem,
they may decide that they will have
to do something along the lines

The Mats were importing a two

Manager Bucky Harris is hoping the

Browns on Sunday hasn't vanished.
With Boston's ridiculously short

providing they're IN one OF their

single game on Thursday the Mats
won't be lacking opportunity to dent

II don't know If Mccarthy will
call on Sid" says Bucky, who has
been selected as an American
League coach, "but I believe It's
only fair to Hudson and Mccarthy
for Sid to be rested in the event
Joe cares to pitch him."
Hudson entered today's engage

while the Eastern club has been
scheduled for three games. There
may be more games" amplified Ray

for the Army Emergency Relief.
The entire program as outlined" Z"

weeks, half of which will be spent
in whipping the teams into shape"
1t was indicated that If the military
training of the athletes does not
suffer, the two Army teams may
meet. and possibly the better eleven
will tackle the Nays Great Lakes
Training Station outfit.
Nothing has been done about
that. however" said Rice.
Ofncers and enlisted men will play
on the Army teams. 1t was said. and
the first game will be played on
