major league clubs for
1959.)
By LEO H. PETERSEN
UPI Sports Editor
Lakeland, Fla.-ITD-S o m e
rival American league man
agers like the chances of the
Detroit Tigers this year, but
Eill Norman won't go along
with them.
Norman, who took over as
manager of the Tigers last
year when Jack Tighe was
fired, doesn't want "to hear
any pennant talk."
"That's all there has been
from the Tigers' spring train
ing camp for five years," he
pointed out. "And they fin
ished in the first division only
once - in 1957.
Despite what Norman
thinks, such pilots as Casey
Stengel of the world champ
ion Yankees, Al Lopez of the
Chicago White Sox and Paul
Richards of the Baltimore
Orioles, single out the Tigers
as one of the clubs to beat.
"I'm glad they think that
highly of my club," Norman
said. "But I'm not buying
what they think.
"I'll go this far - we have
good pitching and there's no
telling now how much Don
Mossi and Ray Narleski will
mean to us. I won't say we
can't win it all. I'll just say
we are aiming for the first
division."
The Tigers should make
that.

Tigers
They could come up with
the best pitching in the league
with Frank Lary 16-15, Paul
Foytack 15-13, Jim Bunning
14-12 and Billy Hoeft 10-9 as
their big four. Then there are
Mossi and Narleski, Cleve
land's two relief aces in the
past, in the bullpen.
Stengel, among others, holds
that the Tigers were hurt in
1958 because they lacked re
lief pitching.
"They had to stay too long
with their starters," Stengel
reasoned. "Now with Mossi
and Narleski they won't have
to do that. Those guys can
come in in the late innings
and get you out. Detroit didn't
have guys like that last year."
Behind his starters Norman
has George S u s c e. Hank
Aguirre and Tom Morgan.
They can go both ways-starting
and relief. He has two
rookies who could make the
grade Gerry Davie and Don
Lee. Also there is southpaw
Pete Burnside, who couldn't
make it with the Giants.
Davie won 17 and lost only
five, at Charleston last season.
Detroit's catching could be
stronger. Lou Berberet, who
couldn't win the job with the
lowly Senators or the Red
Sox, and Red Wilson, are the
front-line receivers with
Charlie Lau, who hit .287 at
Charleston in reserve.
Positions Are Set
The infield and outfield
pending any deals-are all set.
It will be Gail Harris at first,
F.'ank Boiling at second,
Rocky Bridges at short, Eddie
Yost at third. Charley Max
well in left, Harvey Kuenn
in center and Al Kaline in
right.
There are a couple of ques
tion marks about them-wheth-er
Harris is the player he
looked like late last season
and whether Bridges can do
the job at short.
Norman doesn't have much
behind them. Inman Veal is a
fine glove man at short, but
can't hit. Ossie Virgil, Ossie
Alvarez and Earl Hersh, draft
ed from Wichita where he
batted only .237 are infield
reserve candidates.
The No. 1 utility outfielder
will be the veteran Larry
Doby, recently acquired from
Cleveland. Also on hand are
Johnny Groth, who can field
but not hit, and old Gus Zern-
ial, who can hit but not field.
The Tigers' front line might
be okay, but they could be
hurting for bench strength if
one of their regulars gets hurt.
Perhaps that's why Norman's
aim for 1959 is the first divis
ion - and "no pennant talk."

Bobo Olson
Picked Over
Calhoun
San Francisco - 1TB - Rory
Calhoun, who often is at his
hottest when the underdog,
seeks to pull the rug from
under Carl (Bobo) Olson's
comeback bid tonight when
the pair tangle in a 10-round
light-hea'yweight bout at the
Cow Palace.
Olson, who has stopped
three outgunned opponents in
his second bid to return to
boxing's monied ranks, has
been posted a 9-5 favorite
over the White Plains, N. Y.
fighter. This suits Rory fine.
He went into the same ring
a 212-1 underdog to Joey Gi
ambra in 1957 and gave the
handsome Italian a bad beat
ing. The 25-year-old Calhoun
also was a shortender when
he stopped Yolande Pompey,
Bobby Boyd and outpointed
Tiger Jones.
Big Question
The big question is whether
Olson can take it on the po
tato after being flattened in
four out of seven bouts which
marked his fast descent from
the world middleweight
throne. None of the trio which
he stopped during a comeback
which was launched last Oct
ober could do much more than
cover up from his busy attack.
But Calhoun can whip in the
big blast from outside if he
is right.
Local experts peg Olson the
favorite on the theory that he
will get inside of Calhoun's
guard and break him with his
patented assortment of hooks
to the body mixed with com
binations to the head.
Calhoun, who owns a record
(of 39-6-1, has not put together
three wins in a row since
early last year. He rolled up
23 straight triumphs before
losing to Spider Webb after
Manager Frank Bachman
launched him in 1954.

event action at the Josephine
county fairgrounds wrestling
arena this Tuesday night will
see the sensational Al Kashey
teeing off on the big bearded
German, Karl von Himmler.
Kashey came back from the
brink of defeat last week to
score an upset win over North
west heavyweight champion
Wild Bill Savage. The- title
was not at stake and Kashey
has demanded a crack at the
crown.
Savage claimed that his de
feat at the hands of Kashey
was a fluke and that he
doesn't have to put up the
title until Kashey proves that
he deserves the match. Kashey
vows that he will beat every
opponent that Promoter Owen
can match him with until he
gets Savage in here for a title
bout.
No Intention
Karl von Himmler has no
intentions of being a doormat
for Kashey. "I want a title
match myself," says Karl,
"and I'm not going to let
Kashey or anyone else stop
me from getting it."
Kashey will match his

German's headbutts and hang

Cincinnati Rediegs
Tee Off on Spahn
By EARL WRIGHT
United Press International
Things are getting so tough
for the Milwaukee Braves that
they can't even beat the Cin
cinnati Reds.
The staggering Braves suf
fered their 13th exhibition
loss in 18 games Sunday when
they bowed to the Reds, 7-3.
The National league champ
ions are having a rough spring
but three factors made this a
particularly humiliating de
feat. -It came at the hands of
their favorite "cousins."
-The losing pitcher was
Warren Spahn, Milwaukee's
ace left-hander.
-The winning pitcher was
Miguel Cuellar, a rookie left
hander who isn't even on the
Cincinnati roster.
All these facts made an im
pression on Birdie Tebbetts,
the Braves' new vice presi
dent, and he let loose today
with a blast at the Braves'
"complacency" "as one of our
big problems."
Tebbetts pointed out that
the only competition for jobs
on the Braves is at first base
and second base and he accus
sed the other players of "tak
ing it easy throughout spring
training." He warned them
that only the wartime St.
Louis Cards 1942-43-44 have
been able to win three
straight pennants in the last
35 years in the National
league.
The Reds battered Spahn,
a 22-game winner last season,
for six runs, including four
homers, in five innings.
Milwaukee usually masters
Cincinnati simply by showing
up at the park. The Braves
eased their way to the last
two pennants by compiling an
18-4 mark against the Reds
in 1957 and a 17-5 record
against them in 1958.
Reds' Fifth Straight
It was the same story when
Milwaukee belted Cincinnati,
11-5, in their first 1959 ex
hibition clash March 15. But
No. 2 came up Sunday and
the Reds teed off on Spahnie.
Frank Robinson, Dutch Dot
terer, Johnny Temple and
Pete Whisenant nicked him
for homers. Robinson also
homered off Joey Jay in the
seventh. Cuellar allowed the
Braves eight hits and two
runs in the first eight innings.
It was Cincinnati's fifth
straight victory.

Saxon Spikers
Serve Notice
Salem fUTT- South Salem
high school served notice on
Saturday that its track team
may have to be reckoned with
when the state meet is held
later this year.
The Saxons captured six
of 14 high school events here
in the annual Wilammette Re
lays and in doing so broke
two records.
Bob Bartlett lowered the
mark in the 120-yard high
hurdles as he skimmed over
the barriers in 15.2. The old
mark was 15.6.
The South Salem sprint re
lay team set a mark of 44.7
to topple the 45.1 standard
set by North Salem runners
last year.
Almost 1000 prep athletes
took part in the relays. In the
100-yard dash 13 heats had to
be run. Best time of the day
in that event was shared by
Burt Malt of Sandy and Gene
Gilbertson of North Salem
who each ran it in 10.8 on
the soggy track.

tain of Youth Stakes. Easy
