Home
BY WATSON SPOELSTRA

MUNCIE, Ind, April Is Up,
- This was 10 be the year for
enormous player turnover in the
Major Leagues, but the Detroit
Tiger squad heading home for
the American League season has
a two TO one ratio OF veterans.
Manager Steve Neill's squad
has Is holdovers and seven new
corners, but at least three rockies
figure strongly in the clubs pen
nant hopes. They are Outfielder
Dick Wakefield, Shortstop Joe
Hoover ana Pitcher Frank
fStub) Overmire. All were inn
pressive in the five-weck train
ing program at Evansville that
ended yesterday.
In eight exhibition games
leading up to tOday's meeting
here with the Pittsburgh Pr
rates, Wakefield gathered Ii
hits in 20 times at bat for a
.448 mark and has hit in IA
runs. Hoover. particularly
brilliant fielder this Spring,
was not far behind with a .348
batting mark, while Overmire
pitched nine successive score
less innings against the Pr
rates and the Chicago White
SOX and Cubs.
The other newcomers are
Catcher Paul Richards, lnfielder
J.P. Wood and Outieiders Char
lev Metro and Vic Wertz. Rich
ards, 34-year- former mana
ger of Atlanta's Southern League
Club. may see considerable duty
as Dixie Parsons assistant. Wood
doesn't seem ready To chase Pm
ky Higgins off third base but is
a good reserve.
Metro, whose light hitting is a
handicap, is he only righthand
hitting outfielder on the CLUB
and will be used in spots. Wertz,
lust 10 years old, Is an excel
lent prospect but will be in the
Army in a few months.
The Tigers left Evansville last
light after an exhibition game
with the Minneapolis Millers OF
the American Association was
cancelled because of cold. Going
into today's game, Detroit owns
a 500 record in red flannel
league competition with four
victories and four defeats.
Tommy Bridges and Paul
Trout will try to pitch the Tigers
today TO a TO edge in the SER
les with Pittsburgh. The two
clubs meet here agalr tomorrow
before moving into Detroit Sat
urday for the start of a three
game Weekend series at Briggs
Stadium.
The Tigers were able to get IN
, workout yesterday before they
left Evansville. so they missed
ONLY three Of 81 days because OF
weather. That will be quite d
talking point for the Chamber OF
Commerce in future years.

While his phenomenal pitch
ing record is in the books for all
TO see, George Edward Waddell
is best remembered as a legen-
Diary eccentric.
That's a pity, for while RUDE
Waddell, left-handed all the
way, was as erratic as Bugs
Raymond, he also was as able as
Christy MathewSon.
When Waddell was right"
says Connie Mack, the only man.
ager who handled the RUDE with
any degree of success, we've
never had another who could
touch him"
Waddell liked TO fish, drink,
tend bar, run to fires and pitch,
but no baseball assignment was
important enough TO keep him
from his first four passions.
Waddcll, the baseball drama
list and acrobat-he turned cart
wheels from the mound to the
b n c h following particularly
brilliant performances - had a
corking straight man in his
favorite catcher with the Ath-
leticS, Ossie Schreckengost.
Mack describes Schreck as the
fizz powder in the pinwheel
that was Waddell, adds that the
back stop was the wilder of the
two in many respects.
Two players had TO sleep in
one bed TO save expenses in those
days. When he could find Wad-
dell, Schreck was the Rube's in
Separable roommate and com
panion, SO one spring insisted

Schreck could do more with
his gloVcd hand than any other
catcher who has come along.
WADDELL CALLED
IN MATES
Waddell calling in his fielders
and pitching all by himself long
ago became national folklore
did this frequently in exhibition
games.
"Waddell pitched in every
game OF six game series in De-
troit in 1902 recalls Mack. Il
had to hang onto his uniform to
stop him. In the sixth game he
called in the outfield. League
rules kept the outfielders from
leaving the field, so they squat
ed behind the infielders and
watched the great man do his
stuff
At Steelton. Pa, against a
good industrial team, Waddell
called the other players in and
made them sit out the ninth.
Schreck sat down and caught
without once getting on his feet
as the RUDE struck out the
three who faced him.
Waddell was a tall. deep
chested, long armed countr
boy with the strength of bull
and an untlring arm.

Walter Johnson and no pitcher
had such a varied assortment OF
curves, drops and shoots. His
control was the finest ever

1905, was kept out of the World
Series meetings with Mathew
son Of the Giants by a shoulder
injury incurred falling over a
pile Of luggage in a Pullman car

St. Louis Browns had the immor-

In ST. Louis. on July % of
that year, he struck out 10 Ath-

Waddell contracted n severe
cold early in the spring of 1912,
when the river overfloWed at
Hickman, Ky, and he stood in
