Tigers Quit Doghouse
Lands Had Them in
For Three Years
None Of 90 Formhunds
Judge Took From Them
Now Are Available
BY WATSON sPOELsTRA,.


DETROIT, Jan. 1.-THE Detroit
Tigers finally got out of Commits
sioner K. M. Lands doghouse to-
day after doing a three-year stretch
for irregularities in farm operations.
That's what the Judge called it on
January IA. 1910, when he cracked
down on the Tigers in a momentus
decision unmatched in baseball an
nails that set 80 players free OF any
strings held by Detroit.
Furthermore, the white haired
commissioner fixed three-year
embargo on Detroit dealings with a
dozen or more minor league affll-
iates involved in the decision and
likewise prohibited the Tigers from
making any passes at the emanci-
pated talent. The time limit was
up today.
With Hank Greenberg and II 9TH
ers in the Nations service, the IT,
gers could use some reinforcement,
and General Manager Jack Zeller
would derive personal satisfaction
from getting back some of the 90.
But those still in the game are well
sewed up.
Only two OF the 90-Outhelder
Roy Cullenbine of the Cleveland
Indians and Pitcher Lloyd Dietz of
the Pittsburgh Pirates-are cur
rently in the big show. Several
others, notably Benny Mccoy Of the
Philadelphia Athletics, are in the
armed forces.
Moreover. most Of the minor
league clubs the judge took of De-
troit's party line are not operating
this season. The Tigers meanwhile
have abandoned all farm opera
lions.
Completion Of Tiger penance in
this celebrated case emphasizes once
again that ivory development runs
into important money. The 80 play
ers in 1910 were valued by baseball
sources at 100000.

LONDON, Mar. 10.-Guerilla
warfare in Paris has been intensi-

underground information re-

terror started.
Thousands of Frenchmen, who
are eligible to be drafted for forced

ing, and German troopers are
making house-to-house searches
to round up the men. Search is al
so being made for hidden arms.
According to the information,
the Germans are 50, fearful of at

REPORT BOARDING
ON LARGE SCALE.
tBy Associated Press,

WASHINGTON. Mar. 10.-The
OPA said today that country
wide investigation has disclosed
that boarding of canned foods has
been done on a large scale in most
parts of the United States.
The number of canned food
stuffs found boarded, it was de-
clared, would be sufficient to sup
ply the country with the commo-
dities in question over a period of
two months or more.
Finding from 80 to 100 cans of
vegetables, fruits and evaporated
milk in house after house was a
common occurrence, the report
said, adding that in one home
more than 1000 cans were found
boarded.
Some congressman said that a
law should be adopted permitting
the OPA to search homes and to
confiscate aimed foodstuffs
wherever they are found to be in
excess of what they would be in
normal times.
