PHILADELPHIA, April 22.-RH
Today's Philadelphia story: If Don
Hutson tries another comeback
with the Gesn Bay Packers next
fall, it will be because he finds
the business of being a coach too
strenuous When Don pulled
out last night after three strenu-
Gus days of meetings and lobby
sitting, he remarked: I'm going
back and look for something easy
like a couple of games with the
Bears" Judging by current
standings, the experts who picked
the Yankees and Cardinals as pen
nant winners had the right cities
but the wrong leagues. Jim
Leonard, who'll be back with the
Pittsburgh Steele1-s this year after
helping out at Holy Cross last fall,
owns one of Americas biggest as
paragus farms at Mullica Hill. N.

plenty of lettuce.

SPORTS TRAIL
By Sam Davis

There was the fear that north
ern training would kill interest in
h game and that the players
would be throwing h ball with
horseshoe pitching motion until
their arms thaWed out in mid-July.
There was the fear of a Labor
draft, and shortage of equipment,
and the attitude of the boys in
uniform. In fact, it's been pretty
fearsome outlook all along, with
we dirge singers no cooner finding
one fear dispelled until we dug up
another so we could fear some
more.
And what has happened?
Fears Groundless
The teams are getting around
all right. Maybe not in the style
to which they had become accus-
toned, but getting around, never
theless. Attendance, particularly
on week-ends and holidays, is
booming, although many of the Di-
maggios and Williamses and Eel
lerS are gone ana Ihere is many
guy named Gus in the lineups.
The work or fight idea never
materialized, and the draft limit
for fathers was cut to %, and be-
sides, there were quite a few 4-Fs
and servicemen Tread dis
charged available.
The players, outside CT a few
creaky old fossils, suffered no ill
effects from northern training. And
to top it off, the servicemen are
pulling for the game from here to
Anzio.
Summed up, practically every
fear has been only a ghost. That
is they never materialized and the
game today is more firmly estab-
lished and has a more clear-head-
ed future than at any time since
the war began.

DETROIT THROWS
0NE-TW0 PUNCH
BY WATSON SPOELSTRA

DETROIT, May 81 (R When
the Detroit Tigers throw their one
two punch, they deliver a hard
left in southpaw Hal Newouser
and then come UP from the floor
with a right-hander in Paul Diz-
zy) Trout.
In Front and Newhouser,
the Tigers have the most effective
right left pitching combination
in the American League and one
to be reckoned with in the cur
rently tight pennant fight. The two
hurled seven hitters against the
New York Yankees Memorial Day.
each gaining his second victory
over the champions.
NeWhouser' record is seven VIC
tories and three defeats, and Trout
has won six and lost four. The
only other big Detroit winner is
Johnny Corsica, giving the Tigers
a three-man pitching staff.
Both Trout and Newhouser are
At in the draft, and their Major
League careers are strikingly SINH
lar. In four seasons with Detroit,
Trout was a notorious non-winner,
but ! a S season he acquired poice
and pitching temperament and be-
came a 20 game winner with a
fifth place club. Only Spud Chand-
Ter of the Yankees matched that
total.
NeWhouser' first four seasons in
Detroit uniform likewise failed to
show a winning record, although
he won nine and lost nine in De-
troit's 1910 pennant year, his first
full campaign in the majors. Last
summer he won eight and lost II
going nearly two months without
a victory after pitching in the all
star game.
The % year old Newhouser
product of Detroit's sandlotc, attri
butes his fast start to improve
ment IN control, development of a
new slider pitch and the constant
guidance of Paul Richards, veter-
an backstop W h o helped Emil
(Dutch Leonard back into the big
show several years ago.
Even with his big 1913 season,
Trout is short of a 500 lifetime
mark with SO victories and go de-
feats. Newhouser now has won Al
and lost S.. Together they have
just 100 victories, but they seem
destined to accumulate m any
more in 1914. Both are good bets
to become 20-game winners.

Climbing Tigers Defeat
Yanks For Third In Row

DETROIT, May 3l-lR}NIhe De-
troit Tigers, always a nemesis to
the world champion Yankees, won
their third straight from the New
Workers today, when Al Unser hit
a pinch hit home run in the ninth
inning with the bases full and two
out, to give the Tigers a 6-2 " -'ory.
1t was the fifth straight win for
Detroit and the Yankees fourth con-
secutive loss. 1t also marked the
fifth time the Tigers had beaten
the Yankees in six games this year.
New York was the first to sclre

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
By WHITNEY MARTIN

NEW YORK, May 81 H. Ii
seems the woe-is-me lads were only
1alf right in predicting the dire
effects of the manpoWer shortage
on major league baseball. That is,
he power may be missing but there
IRE plenty of men, When the Dod-
GERS and Reds can come up with
IL players in one game as they
did last Sunday, it smacks of nor
nalcy. Even idiocy, you might say.
We always have played bass
drum in the almity-howler pa
rade on the theory that if the worst
happens it won't come as so much
Of a shock as it would if a pretty
picture was painted by you and
then got plastered. The picture,
that is.
1t is easy to laugh now at the
expressed fears as to the future of
the game cince the war started,
but they were very real fears at
the time.
Many Fears
There was the first fear that the
public, or the government, wouldn't
tolerate the continuation of the
sport in wartime. Then there was
the fear that transportation prob
lens would prevent the teams from
getting around to meet schedules.
There was the fear that attend
ance would drop, because of gas
rationing and absence of establish
ed stars and one thing and another,
10 the point where the clubs could
not afford to operate.
There was the fear of a wo~lk-or-
fight edict, and the fear that the
1888 draft, including fathers,
would deplete the ranks of players
until there wouldn't be enough ath-
letes to make up the batteries.
