Trout Top Hitler

Earl Hilligan Of the American

Paul Dizzy Trout is the best
all-around hitting hurler in the
Junior league-or at least was
in 1914.
Among regular mound perform
ers. Trout last season was tops with
a fine .271. Not only was Paul
fairly consistent, he revealed
extraordinary power with a con-
tribHtien of five home runs to his
teams stirring, if futile, try for
the pennant.
The major league record of nine
homers by a pitcher in a season
belongs TO Yves Ferrell, another

BY EDGAR HAYES

Detroit will be well represented
on the 1945 Notre Dame team

slated for starting berthS.
One of Hugh Devore's assist
ants, Ken Stilley, was a Detroit
visitor yesterday and talked foot
ball with some of his Notre Dame
friends. He has succeeded Adam
Walsh as line coach.
"Bill Wightkin Of Catholic
Central has an excellent chance
to become a starting end" Ken
said. "He il a fine pass catcher
and a grand competitor. Tom
Schriber of University OF De-
troit looked very good during
spring drills.
YOUNG AND SMALL
The first day I reported to
practice, l asked Coach Deyore
where he was hiding the big
boys. There are lFthree fellows
on the field weighing over 21O
pounds and all three are
coaches.
"The boys are so young only
three members of the 50-man
squad shave. That's why the,
high school coaches are moving
into college jobs, to coach boys
of high school age"
Ken. one OF the bigger men or
the coaching staff, about 25C
has been coaching high
school football since he left school
in 1885. He played tackle on the
same team with Art Cronin.

WASHINGTON, May IL QNS)
Rep. Melvin Price CD OF
Illinois, said today an order pro-
viding for war department review
of draft board reflections of pro-
feSsional hletes has been
rescinded.
'In addition TO resembling the
order" said Price, "the war de-
partment announced that all
athletes who have been inducted
under the provisions of this
order since ID has been In effect
will have their cases reviewed
and those found not meeting
the minimum physical require
ments Of the armed forces will
be released from service"
Price said the action resulted
from his strenuous" protests
that discriminatory" action had
been taken against professional
athletes under the order.
THOSE AFFECTED
Among those Athletes whose
cases are expected 10 be reviewed
will be a number of baseball
stars, including catcher Walker
Cooper and outfielder Danny Lit
.whiler of the st. Louis Cardinals
Ron Northey of the Philadelphia
PhillieS; Paul O'Dea of the CleXe-
land Indians; Wally Moses of the
Chicago White SoX; outfielder
Stan Spence Of the Washington
Senators and many others.
Several other baseball players,
including pitchers Dutch Leonard
ana Mickey Haefner OF the Wash
ington Senators. were awaiting
review of their Az classifcations
when the new policy was an
nounced.
Among the football stars who
probably will be affected by the
