FOUR PRoBABLES


Besides the four veterans. the
Tigers have here in training four
more chuckers who, il is believed,
will be around most of the
summer.
This trio includes Walter Boom
BOOM Beck, Zeb Eaton, Joe Hare
and Emery (Jim) Hresko. A IT.
year-old just off the Flint sand
lots, Hresko probably will be of
little use this season. But the kid
is believed TO be a potential big
Lacquer.
Beck. a veteran of 20 years in
baseball, though only 8 81 years old.
once pitched for the Blue Jays
(Phils). Beck finished with Knox
vile in the Southern Association
last year. Hare has been pitching
Semi-pro ball in Texas. Eaton re-
Gently was discharged from the
army.
Then there is Elon lChiefl
Hogsett, former Tiger who is COM
ing back. Hogsett pitched for
Minneapolis and indianapolis last
year. Still to be heard from are
Johnny Corsica and Joe Orrell.
Roy Henshaw, the little left
handler. sent word he planned to
stick to his war job in Chicago.
OTHER ATS
Besides generous supply OF
outstanding pitchers with all
mentS that bar them from service
the Tigers also have in camp
other 4-F's, including Jimmy Out
law, Bob Swift and Hack Miller.
The latter two are catchers. Swift
came from the Athletics in the
deal for Rip Radcliffe.
Chuck Hostetler, a speedy out
fielder whose actions belle his age.
also is available and on the scene.
So are Rudy York, Joe IL Pl
Wood. Charley Metro and Eddie
Mayo, but the fate of this quartet
still hangs in the balance.
Mayo, if he continues TO be
available, may wind up with the
ShortStop job, since there seems
to be some doubt as 10 whether
Joe Hoover and Joe Orengo Will
report
Though he played third base for
Connie Mack's Athletics, Mayo is
also shortstop.
The Tigers workout scheduled
for today was called off on ac-
count Of rain. Joe g. P.) Wood

where he will take pre-induction

Commissioner Perry Graicerstein,
chairman of the unit, stated the
committee felt the scope of its &C
tivities should be broadened so as
not to confine 1t to salaries alone.
He stated general study Of the
situation should be made in order
to determine If changes are needed.

asked after the Board voted against
equalization of salaries so that men
and women teachers would receive
similar compensation for similar
work. ItTNas, pointed out at the
time that 81 sAnany cities increases
In pay are allowed when a teacher
completes advanced study or re-
ceived an advanced degree, and
that consideration is given to the
number Of dependents. The joint
committee was delegates at the time
to study the salary situation here.

reported 1t Is in favor of the ac-
simulated sick-leave plan proposed
two weeks ago by the Waterbury

dalton was postponed until the next
meeting to permit incorporation OF
several changes in the plan.
Commissioner Graicerstein stated
the proposed plan will necessitate
several additional changes based
on possible illness of members of
teachers families and on other con-
siderations. He said another ten
tative rule will be presented to a
member Of the associations special
committee, and that final report
will be made at the next meeting.
