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

has more assists. None of the three outfielders on the first fielding
nine has an error. Jim Sinovic, Bandon, has 27 catches.

Tigers Fire Manager Roife;
Freddy Hutchinson Named
For Remainder of Season
Detroit (U.R) Pitcher Fred
die Hutchinson was named Sat
urday to replace Robert (Red)
Rolfe as manager of the Detroit
Tigers.
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 served in the Navy from
1942 until 1946K when he return
ed to Detroit and won 14 games
while losing 11.
1950 Best Season
His best year was in 1950.
when he was crediied with 17
wins against eight losses.
Hutchinson's task is a big one,
since the Tigers are currently
in last place, 21 games behind
the league - leading New York
Yankees and 7V4 games behind
the seventh - place Brownies.
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. (U.R) No
longer can speeding drivers in
Oregon claim a foul when stop
ped by state police because the
official car did not have suffic
ient identification. New patrol
cars being received by the state
police have large luminous signs
on the doors which say: "Oregon
State Police."

More Eloquent Than Words !
.It is true, of course, that a Cadillac owner is proud ,
of everything about his motor car.
But it is also true that he reserves a special place
in his heart for the beautiful crest that rides high on
the hood.
For here, as only he can fully appreciate, is one
of the most wonderful and unique symbols in all the
world of manufactured products.
In fact, it seems safe to say that no other marlc
of identification speaks so clearly or so eloquently of
the product that bears it . . , and of the man who
owns it.
It tells, for instance, of magnificent engineering
and inspired design and of experienced craftsman
ship and painstaking construction.
It promises mile after mile of superlative motoring
enjoyment and it foretells year after year of depend
able and enduring performance.
It" proclaims, in short, the Cadillac pledge of
quality that here is an automobile built to the highest
THE GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY
standards it is practical to enjorce in the production of
a motor car.
And, oh, the wonderful things it says about the
man behind the wheel!
It reveals, more surely than if the words were
spoken, that he is a man of position and achievement
in his own private world of affairs.
It attests to the high regard he places on the
safety and the comfort of his fellow passengers.
And it says, with unmistakable clarity, that he is
a person of discernment and good taste.
Little wonder that the man who owns a Cadillac
takes special pride in the beautiful crest that identifies
it and adorns.it.
The Cadillac crest tells its most eloquent story when
it adorns the magnificent car illustrated above. For here
is the illustripus eight-passenger Cadillac "75" so
luxurious, spacious and. distinguished that it stands
alone among the world" s motor cars.
