without salary. while a salaried
stewart-at-large will directly SUI
pervise the sport,
That stewart-at-large post was
designed for one man alone-Bill
Bowling by Rep. George Higgins
of Ferndale, sponsor of the bill.
If the bill passes il is expected
that such prominent turfmen as
Charles T. Fisher, James Vernon
or +. d. Bull and Fred NJ. Alger
Jr. would be asked 10 serve
as commissioners, with Bill as
steward.
Under that arrangement, Bill
wouldn't have to stick his neck
out, risk the security OF his future
while seeing the show went right.
The big boys could take the rap.
But if the Walsh-Higgins bill
doesn't 60 through, Bill Bowling
still will have the reins in his
hand. And he won't be afraid TO
tug on them, even If he is out in
two years.

TO sandlot teams on Sundays when
the Tigers are out of town this
coming season, according 10 plans
now being considered by Jack
Zeller, the Tiger general manager,
and officials OF the Detroit Base

The plan is in line with the De-
troit clubs policy OF promoting

semi-pros here. The Tigers also
play a big part in the promotion
of Billy Rogell's school for kid
teams" city recreation project
sponsored by the former Tiger

The new policy u also in line
with plans throughout the major
leagues 10 make greater use OF
the stadiums. In Chicago, a girls
softball league will schedule games
at Wrigley Field when the Cubs
are on the road.
HELP PROMOTION
II also will be n boon AT a time
when the sandlotterS need help,
inasmuch AS war activities have
tended TO lessen enthusiasm OF
some team hackers.
Now, with big league park
one of the finest in the country
in which to play games, d. B. F.
officials see renewed interest in
sandlot baseball in Detroit.
In the meantime. the Tigers are
