The Tigers are satisfied with
Jerry Priddy at second and happy
with Kell at third. At shortStop
Johnny Lipon is less secure, but
he probably will override the chal-
lenge of his roommate, the light
hitting, but slick-fielding Neil
Berry. Lipon is a good batter,
but is erratic in the field.
The Tigers have corrected a
glaring fault in the catching de-
partment. The acquisition of
Matt Bats, a hustling, battling
backStop, in a Seven-man swap
with the Browns already has paid
off. Bats. a good receiver and a
fair hitter, has injected spark and
snap in the Tiger drills. He has
won the No. job from Joe Gins
berg and Bob Swift.
Pitching Is Bright Spot.
One of the bright spots in the
Detroit picture this season is the
mound corps.
The return Of Art Houtteman,
24-year-old right-hander, is the
key to the roster outlook. Houtte-
man, a 19-game winner in 1850,
is back after a year in the Army.
He has looked good this spring.
So has Virgil Trucks, who was
a total loss to the club in so with
a sore arm. Trucks was slow to
round into form last season, but
won his last six starts. Southpaw
Ted Gray also has been impressive
this spring.
I'm sure of three regular
starters-Houtteman, Trucks and
Gray" said Rolfe. I'm going to
alternate such fellows like Dizzy

George 10th, captain of the
Harrison team in the District
Minor Duckpin League, is a de-
termlned man. Twice recently
when defeat seemed inevitable, he
saved his team with double-header
strikes in the last box.
Now he's fighting to save q
games for the Harrisons, all in a
bunch. On the night of Novem-
ber IL. 10th inadvertently used an
ineligible bowler. In an emer-
Igency. he called in Bill Watson
and it turned out that Watson,
having bowled a big set the night
before in another league, had
boosted his, average to l point
beyond the limit to make him
available to the Harrisons.
Protest After Months.
The District Minor League,
although one of the strongest in
the area, places a 500 average
limit on it's teams. Virtually all
of the topfight duckpinners here
about are spread through it's
ranks. Watson is, or was, one of
its budding stars.
More than four months elapsed
before his eligibility was protested.
Then the league forfeited all the
games in which he rolled, 27 of
which the HarriSonS won. The
action closely followed a sweep
scored by the Harrisons over the
Enzor team, which now is in first
place with a tWo-game margin
over the Wheatons.
Take away the Enzors' three
wins by forfeit and the title pic
ture would change drastically, for
only three weeks remain of the
leagues season. The HarriSons
were dropped from seventh to last
place in the 12-team circuit.
But 10th has been busy since

Victory Over HoYas
Second Low-Hitfer
For Don Soderberq

Don Soderberg again is estab-
fishing himself as the University
OF Maryland's ace pitcher. The
big Baltimore boy who had a 7-2
record last year already has a 20
mark for 1852, with well-pitched,
low-hit games.
He went all the way for the Sec
ono straight time yesterday,
allowing two hits in the first in
ming, and none thereafter as the
Terrapins beat Georgetown, 80,
in the latter's opener at the Hill
top. A week ago Don pitched a
tllree-hit. 81 victory over Rut-
gers. Two of his seven last year
were over Georgetown.
Georgetown comes back this
afternoon against a Michigan
team making its 1852 debut. Also
here today is William and Mary
against George Washington on the
Ellipse. W&M received it's first
setback in four games yesterday
from Randolph Macon, go, while
CIV has lost both of its starts
this year.
Six Games Tomorrow.
Tomorrow is the big day here
with six games. Maryland, which
is resting today for the first time
this week, has two games booked
against Michigan at / pm. and
W&M at $3.50. Delaware, beaten
by Maryland Monday and a 1913
winner over Virginia yesterday,
Will be at Georgetown, while others
are Towson at Catholic u, and
Washington College in double
header against American U. on the
Friends School diamond. It will
be AUS opening game. Catholic
lost its opener to Maine Wednes-
day.
The Marylan d-Georgetown
game was a pitchers battle until
the eighth, when the Terrapins
got to Rube Waldelle for all their
runs. Soderberg, a husky 6-foot-3
rjght-hander, was touched for sin
giles by Jack Vail and Frank Mat
tingly, with two out in the first
and after that the Hoyas were
helpless. Soderberg famed II
and passed only one.
WaldeIIe No PuShOver.
Waldelle was doing even better
for awhile, retiring the first 18
batters to face him. Third Base
man Eddie Miller got a single in
the seventh and in the eighth the
roof fell in. Fielding miscues con-
tributed greatly to GUS downfall.
An outf1eld fly by Maryland's
John McKenna was dropped for
q three-base error and a double
by Fred Weber scored him. A
foul pop by Dick Blake was
muffed, after which Blake walked.
Soderberg singled to score Weber
and while the Hoyas were throw
ing the ball to wrong bases, Blake
scored from second.
It was Maryland's fifth victory
in six games this year.

|Rofe Turns to 2-PIdtoon Plan
In Effort to Get Tigers to Hit
(Another in a SerieS.)
By Joe Reichler
Assoeioted Press Sports Writer

LAKELAND, Fla, April A.
Robert Red) Rolfe, in his fourth
ISeason as manager of the Detroit
Tigers, is faced with more prob
lens than he ever encountered in
his days as a Yankee player or
as a basketball coach at Yale.
In an effort to wean as much
batting power out of his weak
hitting club as possible. Red is
going to experiment with a two
platoon system.
I've never before believed in
the two-platoon SYSTEM" con-
Ifessed Rolfe, but I'll be darned
|if I don't try it if that is the best
way to get the maximum power
out of our club. We simply don't
have enough hitting the way we
stand now. don't remember
when this club last got five runs
or even five hits in an inning"
Despite Rolfe's lament over the
Tigers hitting, he believes his
team will be a better club than
the one that finished fifth last
year after almost winning the
American League flag the previous
season.
Better Than Last Year.
"We're a better club than a
year ago." he said, largely be-
cause we figure to have better
pitching. I know some of our
guys are bound to have better
years. With the exception of
George Kell, they all fell off at
the plate last year."
Rolfe has been giving Vic WertZ,
his hard-hitting right fielder, a
thorough trial at first base. The
job may go to Rookie Ben Taylor,
but the best guess is that Don
Holloway, who shared that posi-
ton with the departed Dick Kry-
hoski last year, will be back at
first.
"Vic is giving it plenty of hus-
tle," Rolfe said, but nobody can
switch positions overnight and
we'll have to wait awhile before
we know whether he'll make it,"
If Wertz succeeds, Rolfe will
swing into his two-platoon sys-
tenn. Vlc's right-field post will
be shared by Cliff Mapes and
Steve Souchock. Mapes will bat
against righthanded pitching and
Souchock against lefthanders.
Groth's Play Uncertain.
Red has switched Hoot Evers
from left to center and moved
Johnny Groth from center to
left. Unless Groth proves he can
hit consistently against both
kinds of pitching, he will have to
give way to Pat Mullin whenever
the opposition uses a highlander.

that God only interested in those who sit In the front

For some Jews, Rosh Hashonah and Yom Klppur

others it perhaps is time when they feel that they must
stand up and be counted Jews, if it's only once

But, whatever the reason, this practice is a good
