before the draft board. which will
hold a hearing on the Tiger
catcher'S ga draft classification.
Although he is the support of a
widowed mother. Tebbetts said
there was a possibility that he
may be reclassified into Ia.
Besides being one of the best
catchers in the majors, Tebbetts,
since the start of the season. has
been hitting the ball hard. and the
Tigers would be hit by his call to
service. He collected three hits
in the game with the White Sox
here yesterday.
OTHER RECEIVERS
Besides Tebbetts. the Tigers
have two catchers-Dixie Parsons
and AL Unser. Billy Sullivan was
sold to Brooklyn.
There is also a probability that
the Tigers will lose Harold New.

Johnny Rigney. who pitched the
White Sox to victory over the
Tigers Monday. has been called by
Ibis draft board here for likely
Ireclassification. Last spring In

Stroh Substitute Aids

Crimmins Tales 726

For a fellow who did not want
to bowl this year, Howard Curtin
of Stroh raises the question today
in the minds of friends and team
mates, "what will he do when in
the mood ?" One of the reasons
for the Curtin reluctance Is a leg
ailment which does him no good.
He returned to the game to

EARNS RETURN TRIP

His Beaumont comeback was
sufficient to earn him a return
trip ticket to the Tigers. But the
best he could do in 1889 was 10
victories against II losses and the
pessimists shook their heads.
"The old hoolboy was

Then came the glorious come
