Sorry Florida Picture
Changes as Recruits
Spark Outfit
By LEO MACDONELL

Surprise! Surprise!
The Tigers were sorry looking
lot as they floundered around try
ing to win ball games down In
Florida.
The future looked pretty dismal
for Del Baker and his hopeless
looking hopefuls.
But Baker, and no one, else for
that matter, had any idea what
the Tiger recruits were going TO
do when the regular season got
under way.
They had no idea that Hal
White was going to win two mag
nificently pitched shutouts. that
Charley Fuchs was going to cop
another, and that three rookie
right fielders were going to win
games with home runs.
They. didn't know that Jimmy
Bloodworth, who while no recruit
in big league ball, is new in Tiger
livery, was going to be an inn
portant cog in batting in runs as
well as taking excellent care OF
second base.
BEAUTIES OF THE JOB
No, Baker had.no way Of know
ing those things. That's what
makes managerial duties so de-
Ilightful as well as sometimes
surprisingly painful.
Gee, that's . colorful ball
club the Tigers have declared
one of our cohorts at the Office
last night. Said cohort had seen
the Tigers triumph yesterday
over the White Sox, q to /, in
the Battle Of Home Runs at
Briggs Stadium, an exhibition
that dripped with color.
Let's begin before the game.
Bob Patrick, one of the recruits,
was believed to be headed for an
early return to Buffalo. IT had
been made known that two Of the
Tigers were to be "sent out" when
the team leaves Monday for the
East.
CONTRARY PATRICK
But Patrick. a contrary sort OF
guy. apparently didn't want to 60.
,, So he got himself a home run, In
the ninth inning. with two out,
which won the game for the
Tigers, gave them a sweep Of the
two-game series and an edge over
the Chicagoans, three games To
two for the season.
The other Tiger recruit right
fielders who won games with hon.
ers were Ned Harris and Don

MO, April 25.-A bright sun
beat down upon trout fishermen
as they opened the 1912 season,
and prospects were that more than
one angler would head home with
the best creel' of these finny
in the past decade.
Reports of trout fishing condi-
tons in all sections of the state
for today's opening were reported
the best since 1882. according to
DR.. M. E. Whitehead, Mic physi-
clan and angler.
In the northern part OF the
Lower Peninsula. most streams
were clear and in excellent condi-
ton. Thousands of trout fishermen
were out today, with many headed
for Lake Charlevoix, where reports
were that perch fishermen were
getting their limit.
Streams in this section were re-
ported slightly above normal. The
streams were clear and trout fish
ermen held high hopes.

OTHER DISTRICTS

Over in Missaukee, Roscommon,
Crawford and Kalkalska counties,
streams were too high for best re-
suits. but the temperatures were
higher than normal and chances
were that fishermen would have
better than the average opening
day luck.
The Au Sable. including both
the north and south branches, got
the hardest pounding of all the
streams in the state, and anglers

The New York Yankees were
surging along at the head of the
American League parade today
with the happy remembrance of a
fighting finish that gave them an

Replying to a statement made yesterday by Don Harris, organizer of the Chase local to the effect that appropriate action will be taken to answer Father Donnelly, and once and for all determine the actual reason for his interference in the election of an international union of the c. I. O." when the current election Is over on Nov. IS, the priest said last night that he would well come such action.
 T think" said Father Donnelly, that such action will bring to light many other things that members of the union and citizens of Water bury ought to know"
 Meanwhile, petitions are being circulated among workers at the Chase Rolling Mills and Metal Works, denouncing 0. I. O. leaders for their attack on the clergyman The petitions read: we, the under signed, resent the personal attack laid upon Rev. Joseph Donnelly by the officers of our union. The con- dition discussed by him we have watched grow to an alarming degree in the past year and we are grateful to one who has the courage to lead fight against these forces"
 The petition goes on to charge union organizers with attempting Ito hide their activities behind the cloak of unity and the war effort It is said to carry the signatures of more than 125 members of the union.
 Coming as it does, at the time of the election at Chase local, the pet ition seems to indicate that Chase members are not solidly behind Harris in his advocacy of Robinson.
 Unofficially figures from a de- pendable source show Driscoll's plurality today to be 1865, lead which seems to guarantee him the election. However, Driscoll head quarters hinted this morning that there would be plenty of fireworks in the opposite camp before the election closes on Sunday. Appar- ently substantiating this claim were reports from the Chase election that there is great deal of feeling at the voting places. One rumor stated that Chase employees were not allowed a secret ballot.
 It is believed that Robinson sup porters will renew the issue of vot- ing on company property which has been banned by a ruling of the in- ternational executive board. In de- fiance of this ruling, many workers in neighboring towns have cast their ballots on factory property. It is significant that the workers who have done so ars Driscolls back CTS, and the Driscoll headquarters is preparing to fight the issue should Harris or other Robinson men introduce it.
 Altough there have been no off, cial results released on .he Bridge port election held Tuesday, it is re- ported that Driscoll led in the re- ferendum by a margin of 4 to l. The Bridgeport local sponsored the Waterbury mans candidacy, so there seems little cause to doubt that the 4 to ration is correct.

The growing shortage of automo- bile mechanics, which has been evil dent in Waterbury of late, threatens to become as serious a problem as lack of rubber, unless something is done about it immediately, accord ing to David E. Castles, President of the National Automobile Dealers Association.
 "One fact no: yet fully realized by the public but which is becoming more apparent daily is that millions of cars, trucks and busses soon will be off the road unless the mechanic situation is taken in hand MT. Cas- ties stated yesterday. All of this is borne out by letters that are pour ing into NADIA headquarters in Washington from dealers all over the country. The supply of mechan-

ics in repair shops is becoming shorter every day and as winter comes on, more and more vehicles will be forced to stand idle because not enough trained men are avail able to keep them in running order.
 Recently the government took steps to assure the proper preserva- tion of the 435, ,000 or so new cars and trucks that are frozen in deal CTS stocks. It seems only reasonable that the government should take some equally drastic procedure to keep in operation the 10000, 900 pas senger cars and 5,000,000 trucks that are necessary for all purposes in our present national situation.
 Much consideration, rightfully, is being given to provide necessary labor for farmers and to stabilize manpower in essential industries. Transportation is equally important, for without 1t war production plants, agriculture and countless other nec- c-- ary activities are crippled.
 Many shops are now experience ing such loss of skilled mechanics that they are employing women and older men. These innovations have been helpful but only to a very lim- ited extent.
 "The rubber shortage, is, of course, a most serious problem. We believe however, that under the skillful ad- ministration of Rubber Director Jeffers this situation in time will improve provided he gets the CO., operation of the public in careful driving and thorough periodic tire inspections. But if immediate steps are not taken to check the present nationwide shortage of automobile mechanics, much of MT. Jeffers' good work will be nullified. For a vehicle that is out of repair is as useless as one without tires"

JEFFER SONNlLLE, Ing
CAMP - Climaxing an H.
year-old struggle to secure
decent public school facilities
for Negroes in Jeffersonville,
the case OF Martin against the
school board has been assigned for
trial on April 81
The suit involves Taylor high
school for Negroes. The antiquated
building in which this school is
housed has been a continual source
Of annoyance 10 the population Of
Jeffers5nville. Erected shortly aft
er the Civil war, the building has
had no major repairs in At years.
Housing approximately 800 grade
and high school pupils, electricity
IS the only modern convenience.
Heat is furnished by potbellied
stoves. Toilets are outdoors.
Floors in halls and claSsrooms
need repair and the building is
damp and dirty. An outdoor cinder
field with basketball goals at each
end is the only gymnasium, while
the high school for white students,
built in 1916, has had two new gym
nasIums added within the last few
years.
The local N.AA.CP, branch, led
by its president, the Rev. J. o.
Clark, met with the school board
in several unsuccessful attempts TO
correct these matters.
Failing in these attempts to settle
the question, George NJ. Martin
made application for the course in
commerce and physical education
at Jacksonville high school be-
cause they were not offered at Tay-
