Dresser to Shake Up
Personnel Of Tigers

SOMETIME IN THE NEXT few days,
If not hours, Chuck Dresser and his
bosses in the Detroit Tigers ivory tower
probably will swing a player trade. The
Senators may be involved :. /. or the Ath-
letics E. or possibly both. Were the
only three clubs that can deal in the
American League" Dresser says, ION &C
count we're so far down and don't have to
worry about waivers"
But the big personnel change in the
Detroit club will come in the future, like
next spring. At least that's the impression
that Dresser left when the Tigers departed
from our town.
Dresser has managed the Tigers for
less than q month, yet his little wheels
are turning. One gets the impression that
by next season Norm Cash, the first base
man who led the AL in batting in 1861
with nifty 1851, will be gone. Ditto a

others.

watched Syracuse play four games" Chuck
mumbled. He mumbleS more than speaks,
but it's an enthusiastic, bubbling style, like

first baseman and catcher. They got more
good young ball players than seen in q

Nov / don't mean a real long time"
he cautioned. There's only Is baseball
leagues in the country now; there used to
be So or so. But for this day and age SYRIA
cuse is way out in front"
DRESSER is REASONABLY confident
that he will sit in judgment Of these So
called phepoms next spring. The contract
he signed, when he succeeded Bob Scheff-
ing, is for the remainder Of this year and
all Of 1894 Chuck figures this is sufficient
time for him to make run at the Yankees
or any other pretenders. This is the per-
petual optimist.

Hodges obviously gets a big
kick out Of a player who comes
off the bench and gives a ball
club q lift. and he plans to do
as much platooning as possible
on the Senators 12-game trip

Platooning might be q fancy

work with in comparison to the
reserves available to the YAM

days 11-6 trouncing Of the
Tigers in D. C. Stadium.

The Senators had q 9-5 rec
ord on their home stand and

mating at second base, played
major roles in the winning

trying to keep them that way, even to

day when the real situation must be
faced and dealt with realistically.
We have experienced one great
tragedy at Oxford from which we will
never recover fully in U lifetime. This
happened because too many Missis-

ties.
What's more, if this situation con-
tinues, there are perhaps greater ira
gedies than Ole Miss in the making.
The only thing in Gods heaven that
can keep them from coming is that we
all begin to recognize and assume III
duties and obligations = and this APP
plies equally to all state, county and

BULLET FIRED IN 1862

J. L. Roberts and A. B.
Kelly, both of Lexington
found a lead bullet Thurs
day deeply imbedded in a

The bullet was lodged in
such q manner that wood
and bark had grown over it.
The timbermen counted II
rings between the position OF
the bullet and the outer sur
face Of the tree trunk. Ac-
cording to their estimation
the bullet was fired in 1852,
each ring representing q
years growth of the tree,
which was on the Frazier

seven miles east of Licking
