OFFENSES FANDOM RANDOM B.f DICK AHHI.EOATE TRACK AND FIELD Cochrane Confident 'Mil waukee Duke' Will Hit $75,000 Worth for Detroit in Season Soon to Open By Paul Mlrkriaon AwKlatrd Preaa sports writer HKELAND, Fla., March 18 (IP) It'a going to b aoma Job to hold that tig". Blnca the Chicago Cuba attempted to cage him In last 'aire world aerlea. the Tiger from Detroit promlaea to be even stronger and more ferocloua aa he atallca the American league Jungles In search of hla third big pennant feast In aa many hunts. The biggest factor la Al Simmons, who suddenly seems to have found his old self In the Tiger lair, you wouldn't know the famous "Mllwau kee Duke" thla spring. Instesd of pin ing and fretting as he did last season with Chicago, where his batting aver age dropped to new low of .367, AV looks like the Al of his old days with the Athletics when ho pounded the ball at a .300 clip. Cocbrnn Confident In fact. Manager Mickey Cochrane, the champion warrior of all baseball, Isn't even worrying about him. He'a convinced Al will hit $75,000 worth, the amount Detroit gave the White Bis for hla contract, during the com ing season. If Simmons cornea through, the Tigers will have a strong hitting out field for the first time In years, in their pennant drives In 1934 and '38, the Tigers never had moro than one .300 hitter In their outfield. Cochrane has converted Chester Laabe, a fine looking and hard hit ting rookie from Fort Wayne, Ind from an lnfleldcr to an outfielder In the event the veteran world aeries hero, Ooose Ooslln, has a bad year. With Simmons, Ooslln and Pete rox all going atrong, Cochrane'e outfield worries would be over. Owen May Lose Place The rest of the lineup probably will be the same aa that which captured the world title except that Don Rosa, rookie from Beaumont, may oust Marvin Owen from hla third base Job. Boas, who acts and fields like Owen, la regarded as one of the beat rookie finds of the season. Hank Oroenberg la a cinch to take over the first basing when he signs but Cochrane Is so Impressed with an other rookie, Rudolph York from Beaumont, thnt scribes with the team expect him to let him play the open ing game If for no other reason than to show big Hank that York la a qualified replacement. Tommy Bridges. Schoolboy Rowe. Wden Anker, Oeneral Crowder and Roxle Lawaon will comprise the "big five" pitching staff at the start. Clar ence (Red) Phillips, who won 20 and lost 11 lor Beaumont last season, la rated aa the best of the young hurl era. Phillips, facially a dead ringer for the great Walter Johnson, waa with the Tigers for a short time In 1034. BASEBALL CLUB PORTLAND. Ore., March 18. (AP) .Two hundred old time baseball players put on a popper game with table utenMla lust night and or ganized the old-timers baseball club to promo t Interest In the national pant I me and to aid needy ball play er and their families. At the organisation batia.net Biddy Blahop, colorful old timer, waa elect ed president. He waa active in pro motlnn the ornnnl7Jitlon. Other elected to the executive board were Specie Burke, vice-president; Ralph Davla. secretary, and Ike Wolfer, Budle Kalllo, Deacon tan Bnren, Ray Kennedy and Doc wwin, director, been so long sines Med ford has seen any track events that a big crowd la anticipated at the high school field Friday to as the lnter-class events. According to thoae who have kept a weather eye cocked at the Initial try outs, the race will be all even, with sophomores, Juniors and seniors close ly matched. The result la that the trophy will probably go to the class that romps In Ant In the 100-yard dash. In the time trials held last week, Kay Lewis, now a first-semester senior, took both the 100 and the 150-yard romps, and chances are that - he'll repeat that performance Friday. Closely croud In him In these events are three sophomores, Bowman, Ver blck and l.lnnel, with a freshman from Junior high giving all four of them slight headaches. j The froah Is Ray Crosby. In the last trials, Crosby finished well Up In the mile run, took a few gulps of air, and lined up for the 150-yard diiah, and then finished only a couple of Jumps behind the winner. With no mile run to bother aim, he'll un doubtedly do better In the sprints this week. Hero are the favorites la the other events: 350-yard run Wright, sophomore; Ettlnger, Junior; Don Hlgglns, sopho more, In that order. Hlgglns may up set the apple cart and come in first. 6o0 SharrlU Doty, senior; Werner, sophomore; Barker, aopbomort, In that order. Three-quarter mile Stocks, senior; Todd, Junior; Davidson, Junior; Reich, sophomore, in that order. Discus Buasy, senior; Santo, soph omore; Earhart, sophomore. In that order. Hhot-putf Bussy. Broad Jump Ettlngor, Junior. High Jump Richardson, senior. Bowerman has laid down one rock bound rule for the high Jumpers. That Is, that they all employ the roll Instead of the scissors-kick . Richard son has shown marked aptitude for the roll, although the coach admits that he might be getting more height out of the scissors at tha present time. The Idea Is that all the records are made with the roll, and the men tor la willing to forego early season points In the hope of developing some real altitude records later In the sea son. The outboard raring events on (.migrant lake on l&stcr are cre ating a great deal of Interest. Time waa when literally thousands took In the races there, but of late years there hasn't been much Interest.- Isolated as we are from any real bodies or water, the race, present a novel attract Ion thnt should command tremend ous Interest, and undoubtedly nil) If the 20-30 club maintains Its present Interest In leadership In the sport. Jim Smith, formerly of thla city. son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. H. Smith of Med ford, and brother of Bob Smith, former high school nthiete, is head of the Oregon branch of the National Outboard association, and wll 1 be here to conduct the races for the 20-30 club on Easter, according to hla father. Al L Interclass Competition Will Include 11 Events Public Invited First Meet Slated With Kerby By the way, It seems to us that Emigrant lake uaed to be known aa Lake Elisabeth, a much more attract ive name. We aren't sure that we didn't Just dream of that name, but It doea seem aa though that was the title of the thing Just after the dam was put In. SONJA TURNS SKATE PRO FOR $100,000 CONTRACT The public Is Invited, free of course, to the interclass track meet at the senior high school athletic field start ing at 4 o'clock Friday afternoon, It waa announced today by Coach Bill Bowerman. With 11 events on the program, the schedule will be run off quickly, with the whole affair expected to be over by fl:lB o'clock, Bowerman said, add lng that one of the main drawbacks to track aa a public spectacle Is the usually alow time In which the events follow In sequence. Cinders for the new track circling the new football field have all been laid, and this week will be occupied In rolling, raking and watering the track, after which the regular races will be run there. In the Interim, the temporary track laid out In the field adjoining will be used, with the consequence that the tlmea turned In Friday are expected to be com paratively alow, Bowerman said. As In the first time trials, held last week, most of the events will be shortened to allow for the slowness and heaviness of the course, with the 320 sprint cut to 150. the 440 run cut to 350, and the 880 run cut to 060. The mile run has been whittled to Just three-fourths of that distance. There will be no relay races until the regular track Is finished. 'Included In the events of the sf ternoon will be the 150-yard low hur dles and the 60-yard high hurdles. Field events will Include the high Jump, the ntnntng broad Jump, the shot-put and the discus heave. With the vaulting pit not yet completed, that event will also remain off the list Friday. The first scheduled track meet of the season will be a week from Friday, March 27, at Kerby. The times In the Interclass argument thla week will have no bearing on the selection of men for that Inter-school meet, but time trials will be run on Wednesday of next week. Times turned In In those events will determine the team that will represent the school against Kerby. Kerby Is said to have a strong track team, with heavy emphasis placed on that sport there. The meet will be the first lnter-school track meet for the Tiger In several years. GRANTS PASS PITCHER RELEASED BY SEALS FRESNO, Calif., March 18.
