IBUNE Relay Meets To Be Held On Saturday Medford and Phoenix high schools will be hosts next Sat urday to two big track meets. The annual Rogue relays will j oe stagea on tne Mearord oval. Phoenix will have a "little Rogue" relay meet. ' Both events will be warm-ups for the teams involved for the Hayward relays the following week end at Eugene. Ashland, Crater, Grants Pass, Klamath Falls and Marshfield of Coos Bay have been invited to the Medford struggle. Most of the entries are expected to field full teams. Eagle Point, Glen dale, Illinois Valley and Rogue River have indicated that they will take teams to Phoenix. Henley and St. Mary's have invitations. Medford is defending cham pion in the big Rogue meet. Its depth shown in a short distance meet last Saturday makes it the team to beat. Since southern Or egon schools perennially make a strong showing in the Hay wards at Eugene, other schools throughout Oregon will be watching for reports of the times, heights and distances of the meet here. The local event sometimes has been called the little Hayward relays. Events in the session here will parallel those of the Hayward metropolitan divisions. All events with the exception of the discus, pole vault and javelin will be relays. In those three events a school will be allowed only one place in the scoring. In the other field tests the heights and distances will be added. Schellin Beats Cody In Stockton Fight Stockton, Calif.

PETERSEN United Press Sports Editor Lakeland, Fla. (U.R) Bucky Harris, manager 'of the Detroit Tigers, sends out this warning to the other American League clubs: "Give us a little more bat at second base and left field and we'll be as tough as they come." But he doesn't know if he is going to come up with that "bat". However, he's hopeful. While he isn't talking pennant for his Tigers, he makes it plain that they have the potential to go all the way. The other American eague managers agree with him; When you have players like Al Kaline, the American league batting champion; Harvey Kuenn, prob ably the best all-around short stop in the majors; Ray Boone, the third baseman who drove in 116 runj in 135 games last sea son; and pitchers like Billy Hoeft and Frank Lary, the groundwork for a championship is there. Besides those hitting prob lems at second and left field, Harris was plagued last season by the lack of relief pitchers. He had to go most of the way with his starters because he had little back of them in the bullpen. But he thinks he will correct that trouble spot by taking Steve Gromei off the starting rota tion, once the weather gets warm, and putting him in the bullpen as his relief ace. The veteran Ned Garver also will be in the starting array, and Bob Miller, the left-handed bon us baby, is another possibility. That leaves Al Aber, a left hander; and right-handers Dick Marlowe, Duane Maas, Joe Preskr and Pete Wojey battling it out for the relief jobs. Torgeson All Set All the infield is set except for second base. It will be Earl Torgeson, who caught fire when the Tigers obtained him from the Phillies last season, at first; Kuenn at short and Boone at third. That adds up to both hit ting .and fielding, but leaves one big void second base. "If we come up with both a glove and a stick man out there, we'll be all right," Harris de clared Three players are in the run ning for the job Fred Hatfield and Harry Malmberg, who shared the job last year; and Buddy Hicks, who failed to make it several tries with the world champion Brooklyn Dodgers. The Tigers are set in the catching department with Frank House the No. 1 man and Red Wilson behind him. It all adds up to quite a ball club if Harris gets that "bat" at second base and left field.
