Dresser Launching
Great Experiment
On Tigers odoy
BY BURTON HAWKINS
Star stan Correspondent

LAKELAND, Fla, Mar. 10
The Senators baseball laboratory
will be opened to the public to-
day for examination of an ex-
pertinent. They're attempting
to infuse new blood into a long
decrepit body to determine if it
will display more zest.
It's a daring departure from a
previous pattern. with the club
given its most thorough shaking
in history since it stumbled into
the cellar last season-the ninth
straight year the Senators have
finished in the second division
and the 18th time in % years
since they last won a pennant.
From the fans standpoint it's
probably regarded as a neces-
sary move. The Senators at
tendance dipped to its lowest
level in years last season and in
an effort to shed that apathy
President Cal Griffith has i'm
ported a swarm of new faces.
An Important Venture
Five players obtained in trades
from the Red Sox and Yankees
will start for the Senators today
when they open a 29-game ex-
hibition schedule here against
the Tigers. It's an important
adventure the Senator's are en-
barking upon, for unless they
win their share of games in
training much fan interest is
likely to vanish even before the
team returns home.
It's possible the Senators have
acquired future stars in their
deals, but at the moment Man
ager Chuck Dresser only can
guess about what he has on
hand. It's just as feasible that
the team has assembled a flock
of players who never will rise
above mediocrity.
Today Dresser begins to learn
what he has. The results could
be intriguing or narrowing. He
needs en- entire new outfleld, a
second baseman, and in Lou
Berberet he's hopeful he has
landed a catcher capable of
regular duty. He must gauge
his pitchers to discover who can
start, who can relieve. He has
problems everywhere he looks.
He has been further handi-
capped by the now ended hold
out of Roy Sievers. more than a
week in arrear of his teammates
in training. Sievers. last year
leftflelder, may be sent back to-
the outfield instead of being
switched to first base as planned.
His position, when he's in condi-
ton, will be determined by the
exhibition game conduct of Julio
Becquer, a fancy fielding first
baseman whose hitting has been
suspect.
Here's the Situation
Position by position, here's the

Eyes 2,000-Hit Club

TAMPA, Fla, Mar. 10 (P.-
George Kell, the "old pro" of the
Chicago White Sox, is cunning
for the 2,000-hit club this season.
Kell, who played in 1913 games
and knocked out 1874 safeties
last season, needs 1853 hits to join
the club and thinks he has a
good chance If his back miseries
leave him alone.
Right now I feel great" said
Kell. There is no Sign of any
back trouble. But I never know
when it'll hit me-"

his in ABB against two oppo-
InentS.
Its good to know I can run
again." Santee said after arriving
in Milwaukee last night. He said
he did not know the details of
the latest ruling and had only
received word from his attorney
by telephone to "go ahead and
run in Milwaukee" before catch
ing the plane that brought him
here. Santee is now lieutenant
in the Marine Corps and was
given the go-ahead at his base
at Quantico. Va.
I'D like to make the race in
teresting," Santee said, and
added that he would be very
happy if I can run faster than
last year" He won the 1855
event in 4:08.6.
Santee will run, in his section,
against a field OF uncertain
quantity. There was only one
other definite starter early to-
day. Bill Taylor, one of Santee's
Marine buddies.
Kuechle said he was trying to
line up Ed Shea of the Army
and Ed Kirk of the Air Force
and formerly of Georgetown, who
furnished Santee's competition
in the K. of C. race.
Deadly in Other Section
Set to go in the other section
were Billy Tidwell of Kansas
State Teachers College; Phil
Coleman of the Chicago Track
Club; Joe Deadly of Washington,
D. c., the Georgetown star; Mike
Stanley of Lockbourne (Ohio)
AFB; Deacon Jones, Iowa, and
John Walter of Michigan State.
Kuechle said he would by
the flip of a coin" determine
which section of the event would
be run first. The race was
for 1880 pm. (EST).
Santee also agreed to waive
his claim to the Journal Trophy
due for retirement this year
on the basis of tonight'S race.
However, if his time of last year
stands up he said he would claim
the sterling silver bowl. The
trophy goes to a two-time win
ner or the runner with the best
time over a three-year span.
In upholding the injunction
yesterday, Justice Levey set next
Thursday for trial on the pro-
ceedingS.

Eagles Sluggish
In Taking Title
From DeMatha
By DICK STAY

Gonzaga has it's second Cath
Ollie League basketball champion
ship in three years under Tommy
Nolan, but the Eagles have mis-
placed their scoring punch as
they look ahead warily to the
knights of Columbus tournament
next week end.
They beat DeMatha, 55-44. last
night at Ritchie Coliseum in the
league championship game, and
after the crowd of about 1000
departed Nolan said he couldn't
recall when his team had played
a worse first half this season.
Gonzaga led only twice during
the first half, but the second time
was permanent as it took a 1920
advantage into intermission.
That wasn't good enough, &C
cording to the Eagles coach.
Pep Talk at Half
ct was the first time in three
years that I ever read the riot
act to them at halftime," Nolan
said. Their spirit was way down,
but in the second half it was
just the opposite. They came out
like they wanted to play ball."
The Eagles outscored DeMatha,
1910, in the third quarter and
17-14 in the last, slowing the ac-
ton with four minutes to go
while leading, 47-36. AS planned,
that tactic forced DeMatha out
Of it's zone defense and added to
the Stays fouling. But still Con-
zaga's 10Th victory in 81 games
didn't impress.
Although Gonzaga hadn't
played since losing to st. Johns
in the finals of the Washington
Lee Invitational tournament the
previous Friday. Nolan thinks
his boys need even more rest.
II don't want to see them again
until about Wednesday," he said

The former Kansas State star,
