300 Attend
Tiger School

The Detroit Tigers baseball
school moves into its second day
today with another large group
of youngsters getting specialized
instructions. The school is being
held at Briggs Stadium and will
continue until the middle of next
week.
More than 300 lads worked out
yesterday, according to Wish
Egan, the head master of the
school. Al Vincent, Tiger coach;
Bruce Conaster. a scout, and two
pitchers, Boom Boom Beck and
Jack Mooty, will take over todays
instructions.
Most of the young hopefuls are
anxious to- be pitchers. Beck and
Mooty are giving them lessons in
how to get the most out of the
talent they have. The Tiger
management was pleased to see
a large group anxious TO become
catchers. 1t was believed this
position was losing its appeal to
the youth.

Two Tigers Best

There isn't much chance two
catchers will be named from
the same club. but that doesn't
alter the writer's belief that
Paul Richards and Bob Swift
are the outstanding backstops
in the circuit.
Dykes likes frankie Hayes
of the Athletics and Rollie
Hemsley of the Yankees, who
have had much experience.
When il comes to experience
there's nothing wrong with
Rick Terrell of the Senators.
Because Of his ability to bat
in runs, Rudy York again will
be al first base. Managers rec
ognize the big Tiger is an ex-
cellent performer afield, an at
tribute sometimes clouded by
his smuggling ability.
Nick Etten of the Yankees is
another first sacker who can
hit. Some managers like Dick
Siebert OF the Athletics.

mates Tex Hughson of the Red
Sox as the fourth member OF
the quartet. Dykes picked his
own Orval Grove, a very good
finger, too.
There isn't much doubt but
what Trout will be the No. l
selection of the managers. The
Tiger ace right-hander Is def
nitely the best chucker in the
league and Newheasef is tops
as a left-hander.
Newhouser pitched in last
years All-Star game in Phila-
delphia. but Trout will be new

Best Attraction

Pancho today is regarded AS
the greatest gate attraction IN
tennis since the days of Bill
Tilden and Jean Borotra.
His rise is the more remark
able because at birth he was a
near cripple with spindly, de-
formed legs.
But through the years, Pancho
has battled all these physical
handicaps 10 become one OF the
greatest net stars Of the world.
Detroiters will see and hear
much about him when the firing
begins here next week.
