Actually, Notre Dame had the
most first-place votes, "a to %.
but Slaughter picked up enough
second and third votes to shove
him past the Fighting Irish. 103
to 100.
In 1851, Slaughter was benched
for weak hitting, played only
1913 games instead of the usual
full schedule of 154. and hit .281.
He hit only four home runs,
batted in GA runs instead Of the
usual 80 to 100. It was his worst
year in the majors.

Old age was creeping up. and
It wouldn't be long, they were
saying.
But Country Slaughter refused
to roll over and play dead. He
started 1852 more like the
Slaughter of old, and by July
was slamming the ball at a .315
clip. The fans voted him on the
All-Star team. Slaughter skidded
in August but finished the sea-
son at an even 800. He drove
in 101 runs.

DrosticoIIy OverhouIed Tigers
Expect Kuenn to Lead Climb
(Another of a SerieS.)
BY Joe Reichler
R Az :.

NEW YORK, Jan. .14.-Man-
ager Fred Hutchinson of De-
troit's first tail-end team in
American League history is
counting on kids to put new
bounce into the Tigers.
Hutchinson. who succeeded
Red Rolfe at the Tiger helm last
summer, is confident he will
have an improved club and says
it is not out Of the realm of
possibility that his Tigers will
finish as high as third.
I'm the last couple of years
we have gone from second to
fifth to eighth" he said. NO
body said that could happen.
But it did. Why can't we move
up as fast? Take the Yankees
and Indians out, and there is
little to choose between the rest
of the teams"
Only II Repeaters.
One accusation that can't be
hurled at Hutchinson is that he
has stood pat, a charge leveled
against previous Tiger managers
until Rolfe made that nine-man
deal last June. There will be
only II repeaters on his spring
training squad at Lakeland,
Fla. OF the new faces, II will
be flrst-year men.
The apple of Hutch's eye and
the youngster who is expected to
lead the Tigers out of the cellar
is Harvey Kuenn, a 22-year -old
shortstop who only a year ago
was playing for Wisconsin U. A
tall, rangy lad. Kuenn was pre-
sented with a $4,000 bonus
upon his graduation last June
and as far as Detroit officials
are concerned, it was the best
bargain they ever got.
After pummeling Three-I
tClass b League pitching for a
$40 average in 73 games, the
collegian moved up to Detroit
in September as the regular
shortstop and picked right up
where he left off. He banged
away at a 1925 clip and impressed
in the field. He has 4-F clas-
sif1cation in the draft because
Of a football knee injury.
New Outfield Certain.
The Tigers are going to have
a new outfield in. 1858. Gone
are Vic Wertz, Hoot Evers and
Johnny Groth, hailed as the
best picket line in baseball only
two years ago. In their places
will be Bob Nieman, recently
from the Browns; Russ
Sullivan, who showed power in
his debut last September; a
quartet of rockies headed by a
couple of minor league home
run kings, Frank Carswell and
Rufus Uake) Crawford.
Carswell. getting a belated op-
portunity at 33. was Buffalo's

al League in 1852. He led in
Evening star., 1953-01-14

batting with .344, home runs
with 80, runs patted in with 1O1
and practically every other slug
ging department.
Crawford, at "a, is given a real
chance. The tall Missourian
came from the Browns in a $50
900 deal last fall involving Cliff
Mapes and Neil Berry. His bat
ting mark at Scranton last year
was only .288. but he topped the
Eastern League with q homers
and SO runs batted in.
Two New CatcherS.
Johnny Bucha, acquired from
Rochester in the winter draft,
and j. w. Porter, obtained from
the Browns. will be granted a
solid chance to beat out Matt
Bats and Joe Ginsberg as top
catcherS.
Porter won't be 20 until Sat-
urday, but already he's been ear
marked for greatness. The kid
is the big reason Detroit was
willing to part with Groth and
Virgil Trucks. He spent most
of last season with Colorado
Springs where he batted .340.
Hal Erickson, 80 year old
right-hander. and Milt Jordan.
nine years his junior, appear to
be the best of the freshman
hurlers. Erickson won 20 at
Dallas and Jordan copped IL at
Buffalo. Both are regarded as
relief specialists.
Other newcomers include Ed
die Kazak, a .315 hitting third
baseman at Buffalo who once
played with the Cardinals; Out
fielders Bill Tuttle (.292 at Buf-
falO, Don Lund (.302 at Buff
falo). Carl Linhart released
from service); Pitchers Paul

and Dick Marlowe COLO at Buff

CIn Washington, the fight

The 178 pound trim for
Bascom, a jockey weight for
heavyweights. is the lightest the
East st. Louis (Ill) Negro has
been since Cesar Brion stopped
his victory string at Is last year.
That scale-in weight should
make him about 10 to IL pounds
lighter than Charles.
Goldberg sees the weight

correctly and insisted he

don't put much faith in this
reasoning. The odds makers.
Charles and his manager, Jake
Mintz, all see victory ahead
for Ez. You can get 4 to l
Charles will win and 2 to / he'll
finish it with a knockout.
If so, it will be just another
triumph for Charles on the
comeback trail. But for Bascom,
it may mean the end of the road
at the age of %.
The ex-poStman got off to
fine start as a pro. He jumped
around in the light-heavy and
heavyweight classes and built up
the 13 victories in 1950-51.
Then suddenly he lost the
touch. In 1852 he lost three of
four bouts. In addition to Brion,
Yves also dropped one to Jimmy
BivinS. Charles has defeated
both.
Tonight's fight will be decided
on a point basis, if needed, with
the fighters splitting 10 points a
