1 Gorclon, Roelandt Among SWO Loop Batting Leaders Jack Gordon of the Medford Cheney Studs is the leading hit ter among second basemen in the Southwestern Oregon league, according to the records of Chuck Plummer, Roseburg, league statistician. Frank Roelandt of Medford is the second ranking catcher in the hitting department. Snuffy Smith and Norm "Lucich of the Studs are among the six top fielding outfielders in the circuit. Roelandt is tied for 10th in the overall hitting averages in the loop with a .367 mark and Gordon is 22nd with an even .300 rec ord. Smith has the most fly catches in the loop with 30 and he has one error. Plummer using his statistics has set up mid-season all-star teams in batting and fielding. He said the choices are not his own but are top men on the record. Pitchers on the fielding team were picked on won and lost records, infielders on fielding averages and outfielders on the most catches with the least errors. Mickey Coen, Roseburg was first team pitcher with a three-win no-defeat status while Roy Helser, Drain, on the second crew has a four-victory one-loss record. At first base, John Farrell, Roseburg, first team, and Buzz Arlitt, Coos Bay, second, have perfect fielding marks but Farrell has more assists.

The announcement was made by Tiger President Walter O. (Spike) Briggs, following an hour-long meeting of the De troit Board of Directors. "We appreciate the loyalty that Red has shown and doubt that any improvement can be made, but we've got to find out," Briggs said. Barlell Gels Axe At the same time, Coach Dick Bartell, who came to the Tigers with Rolfe in 1949, was dis missed. Both Rolfe and Bartell were present when the announcement was made. Hutchinson, 32-year-old right hander who has won two games and lost one this season for the Tigers, came to Detroit in 1939. He is the American league play er - representative and only a month ago organized a meeting in which the Tiger team gave Rolfe a vote of confidence as rumors circulated about dissen sion among the players. His first comment was: "I'm a little bewildered." Starts Immediately He takes over the team im mediately and directed activit ies Saturday night as the Tigers met the St. Louis Browns at Briggs stadium. Hutchinson was born Aug. 12, 1919, at Seattle, Wash., and was signed by the Tigers for $50,000 and four players after he had posted 25 victories against sev en losses for the Seattle Rain- iers in the Pacific coast league.

He has held the post of player representative of the executive council of the American league for the past four years. Briggs said .'Hutchinson's ap pointment will only run through the current -season. FAIR WARNING Portland, Ore.
