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.

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.
