Having Woes

Lakeland, Fla. Mar. LAP
Three husky young Detroit Tigers
outfielders who went through the
war without an ache or pain had
to come to Florida to fall apart.
Barney McCoskey. the teams
star pre-war centerfielder. has a
pulled hip muscle that might keep
him out of uniform for several
more weeks. Dick Wakefield, the
boy with the big bat. pulled some.
thing loose in his groin when he
fell making a play in left field the
other day. Pat Mullin, the right.
fielder who hit around $40 before
he was injured in 1871, is out Of
action with a pulled leg muscle.
The consequence Is that Mana.
ger Steve O'Neill is being forced
to do most Of his outfield looking at
one Walter Eyers. and what he
sees he likes.

became almost legendary i'm the

year. and had % doubles and 10
homers. He was runner-up TO
Wakefield for the league batting
title and was called n ball hawk, a
distinction Wakefield has never
gained.
Another youngster attracting
much attention in the Tiger camp
is Louis Kretlow. n % year old

who pitched his Enid Army Air
Force team to the championship
of the national semi-pro baseball
congress at Wichita last year. In

Hal Newhouser, the Tigers No.

latter part OF last season. Dizzy
Trout, too. feels that his throwing
wing has fully recovered from its
