LAKELAND, Fla, Mar. 18.-The
Detroit Tigers, who used five hurl-
ers yesterday in dropping a IA
inning decision to the New York
Yankees, had to scrape for pitchers
to send against the Boston Red
Sox today. Freddie Hutchinson, who
has complained recently Of sore
arm, drew the starting assignment
against the Sox.
ST. PETERSBURG. Fla.-Rookie
Tommy Glaviano, subbing at third
for veteran Whitley Kurowski who is
still recuperating from an arm
operation, has been playing steller
role in the Cards conquest of the
exhibition circuit. His spectacular
stop and long throw on Al Lake
mans grounder in the eighth in

third prevented Cincinnati from ty-
ing the score as the Red Birds
defeated the Red, 6-3 yesterday.
Glaviano also started Card attack

TAMPA, Fla, Mar. 18.-There
has been an Understandable hesi-
fancy among the Mats bosses to
predict a glowing comeback for a
Cecil Travis who was so heavy
footed last season. That reluctance
to express optimism now has van
ished, for the angling Georgian is
providing one of the most pleasant
sagas of the citrus circuit with his
hitting and fielding.
Travis begged down horribly last
year with a pair of legs which re-
fused to respond to treatment. He
was a wretched infielder and vet
eran baseball men who viewed in
him hitter who would be threat
at the plate as long as he could
walk up there rubbed their eyes in
disbelief. Travis was nibbling at
bad pitches.
This year Travis will make a
comeback" President Clark Griffith
says. "I don't have to have any
experts opinion about his legs. I
can tell by his spirit. He's eager
to play ball and he feels he can do
a good job for us. That's all I have
to know about him.
Salary Was Not Cut.
'Last year Cecil came to me and
said, Mr.. Griffith I'm not worth
the money you're paying me- He
wasn't playing good ball and he
knew it. He said he'd quit if his
legs didn't feel better before spring
training time came around. Well,
he's here and that's enough indica-
ton to me that he's fit because
Travis is honest with everybody in
Guiding himself"
Despite his skid to .252 last sea-
son Travis took no salary cut. II

What would seem to lend import
