defense and Roseburg coldness
" to manufacture margins of 13
to 7 at the quarter and 39 to
19 at e half. But the Indians,

Syndicate Wants
Detroit Tigers
Detroit U Walter O.
"Spike" Briggs, president of the
Detroit Tigers, said today he con
sidered a reported "offer" of
more than two million dollars
for his ball club as an "inquiry"
nd would not discuss it until
after the first of the year.
Briggs confirmed Tuesday
night a report that a six-man
eastern syndicate was ' "inter
ested in the Detroit baseball
team, a member of the Ameri
can league. But he said he con
sidered a letter received from
tha syndicate an inquiry and
not an offer.
The syndicate, headed by
New York insurance executive
Cy Block reportedly offered
more- than two million dollars
for the team. The "offer" first
was revealed by the Long Island
Press.

nine boards and Woolstenhulme
seven.

end of each of the first three
quarters lost the junior varsity
to Roseburg 55 to 53. It was the
junior Tornado's 19th loss in 168
games under the nine-year helm
of Coach Bob Newland.
The Tornado junior club had
12 to 7, 24 to 23 and 43 to 39
quarter counts. Roseburg then
went on top by seven points.
The Medfordites rallied but not
sufficiently to gain the upper
hand.
Medford and Roseburg varsity
