Hagg insisted that his trip be
divorced from political considera-
tons of any sort and he said he did
not feel free to run in any events
which would carry such an impli-
cation, such as races run for the
benefit of war agencies.

united EFeSg STAN correspondent
Detroit, Jan. 10. - (UP)--Jovial
Steve O'Neill, who inherited one Of
the toughest Jobs In baseball when
he took over as manager of the De-
troit Tigers this winter, said today
that q lower level Of competition
would make for close 1913 Ameri-

weaknesses.
None Of us will have as many
stars as we had last season." ONeill
said, "and although this spectacular
type Of ballplayer will be absent,
the brand Of baseball will still be
good.
'There'l be no early finish to the
American League race, particularly
II Joe DiMaggio does go into SER
vice. The New York Yankees will
always be tough, though, as long as
they have two guys named Charlie
Keller and Joe Gordon but DiMag-
gio's gap in the lineup may drop

The 51-year-old veteran pilot said
his 37-man Detroit roster gave him
no particular qualms but If he can

and make up for last years flfth-
place finish.
"Our pitchers, for one thing, will
be as good as any In the league"
he said. youngsters like Hal White,
Virgil Trucks, Hal Newhouser and
Frank Overtime, who was with me
at Beaumont, Tex, last year, should
all be better with more experience
behind them. All we need is q good
catcher or two and some hitting"
Three men will attempt to fill the
post of f1rst-string catcher George
(Birdie) Tebbetts, now in the army.
O'Neill, successor to Del Baker, plans
extensive tryouts for Ed Parsons,
TebbettS' relief man last year; Paul

sibility. O'Neill, however, said he
would not shift York unless he had
no other alternative. .t
''There Is no point In weakening
first base" he said. "Rudy has done
q good job there" York failed to hit
800 during the last two years, but
drove In 90 runs last year.
With outflelder Barney McCosky
in service, ONeill is depending on

hold spring and summer horse race
meetings covering a total of 81 days

In applying to the State Racing
Commission for 1913 dates, Judge
James e. Dooley, president Of the
association, said that the spring
meet would cover the period from
April 10 to May 8 and the summer
session would last from Aug. 0 to
Sept. Is.
"The Narragansett Racing Asso-

its usual custom Of requesting dates
