GEHR1NGER BIG
"IP AT DETROIT
If Second Sackei' Comes
' Through, Harris Expects
His Club to Go Good.

series of first hand stories on

SAN FRANCISCO. Mar. 9 iJPiTHs
big "If" In the baseball plans of the
Detroit ' Tigers this season concerns
Charley OehrlnKer and his return to
form. The brilliant second Backer,
whom Manager Stanley Harris de
scribes as "the best In the league,
when right," Injured' his throwing
arm In the first game of 1031. Ill
ness also handicapped him. but de
spite these difficulties he played In
101 games to hit for an average of
.311.
Thus far In training. Gehrlnger has
given every Indication he will be
ready for the baseball wars. If he
Is, Skipper Harris says the Tigers
may be a "surprise team." And If
he Isn't ready, the Detroit pilot has
a ' couple of words for it: "We're
sunk!"
Need Ills Punch
"We need Gehringer's punch at the
plate and his steadiness at second.
The same goes' for Dale Alexander.
Dig 'Alex' could Improve his work
. around first base, but he doesn't need
' any lessons In standing up to home
plate. Alexander wasn't sound last
year. He was out for three weeks
and after that was playing with a
bad elbow."
Harris' has no exaggerated Ideas
' as to what the Tigers will do In the
American league scramble. Pennant
possibilities are too remote to dls-
- cms, he says, but If the team clicks
' nt alt he expect to make a better
' shotting than the seventh place of
last year.
' A pitching staff fortified with vet
' trans and boasting several young
prospect, is the high spot of the
club. Tom Bridges, with the team
' last' season. Is In a Palo Alto hospital-
with the "flu" at present but
Manager Harris looks to him for
plenty of help later on. Luke Hamlin
and Isidore Goldstein, rookie right
banders from the Texas league, have
hown promise. "Whit" Wyatt, who
- divided his time between Detroit and
Beaumont last year, will be given
. every chance. Sorrell. Uhle, White-
hllli Hogsett and Herring will handle
. the heavy work.
KoeillK May Pitch
One big experiment may furnish
ten squad with a new ' moundaman,
' Mark Koenlg. wno already nas servea
nr. an Inflelder. Harris says Roenlg
' has everything a pitcher needs, In-
eluding a fast ball, and that It now
In only a matter of control.
Bill Hogell, acquired from Toronto
' last -year, appears to have clinched
the shortstop position. Pour candi
dates are battling for third base.
. Nolen Richardson, up from Toronto
last season, finished the year at the
, "hot corner" and has first call at
' "present with . Bill jRltfol. up from
Portland' "Of (he Const league and
Henry Schuble, from Beaumont, fur
nishing the chief opposition.
'. The fight for outfield positions has
developed into an open race accord
. Ing to Harris who says that "no-
body on this club needs feel se
' cure."
Koy Johnson and Johnny Stone
are regulars. Two rookies are prac
tically certain to be carried along.
' They ore Bill Lawrence, a 6 foot 3
inch tall youngster up from Seattle,
and Joyner White, fleet rookie from
' Beaumont. In Lawrence, the Tiger
lender thinks he has the greatest
possibility of all. He Is fast In the
field and has tremendous power at
the plate.
Gerald Walker, farmed out to To
ronto In 1931. and Kenneth Strong,
also from the International league
team, are other outrleld candidates.
Strong Is in and will meet the club
In the east.

ARE FAVORED
BY MR. HOOVER
WASHINGTON, Mar. 9 W) Presi
dent Hoover has taken the position
that the best remaining means of
slicing federal expenses Is for con
gress to help cut down or suspend
duties and functions of various gov
ernment branches.
The president disclosed at a con
ference with newspapermen that the
cabinet has been canvassing to de
termine what changes would be made
In the activities ol government de
partments that would result In less
cash being required from the treas
ury. Prank T. Hines, veterans adminis
trator, has' proposed alterations In
the law governing allowances and
pensions, the president said, which
may save $60,000,000 annually.
Postmaster General Brown has
drawn up suggestions for changes in
pest office routine and Secretary
Hyde has done similarly for agricul
tural expenditures, with both moves
designed to save millions yearly.
..The chief executive pledged his
old .to the special house economy
committee and to the ways and
means committee, but said he be
lieved there was little room left for
cuts of appropriations under pres
ent administrative functions.

The Barometer said further: "Some
students will be called upon to alter
their courses, and. even- schools, but
we believe the board acted In all fair
ness and without prejudice In set

the majority. Whether the desired
results will be obtained by this ac
tion we are in no position to say."
The athletic situation also came In
for major consideration with views
being freely expressed that the new
