Tighe
Cleared
By Brass
DETROIT ( Manager Jack
Tighe had a vote of confidence
from the front office today while
his Detroit Tigers were wallowing
in a six-same losing streak.
Club President Harvey K. llan
en declared 'Tishe is not going
to be crucified by the fans and
(he Detroit Tiger management is
not going to be influenced and
pressured by fans and newspa
pers." He said the talkative sophomore
pilot has done "a good job under
the circumstances."
The letter-writers hav been
hush of late, demanding that
Tighe be ousted. Newspapers and
radio stations have had large
numbers of letters and calls from
disgruntled fans and one group
has adopted the slogan "get rid
of Tighe by the Fourth of July."
"The second-guessers have been
pretty busy." said Hansen, -"reflecting
on the losing streak that
matches the club's poorest string
of performances during all of the
1957 season.
"I don't know of another man
ager in the major leagues whe
has had more to contend with thb
year than Jack. He's had injuries
galore and a lot of bad luck. Sure.
people gripe when you lose. That's
only natural.
"But a lot of good managers
have been ruined by this silly no
tion that you must fire the man
ager when the club is going poor
ly. Too many managements I
mean the top brass have al
lowed themselves to be pressured
Into drastic moves rather than to
rely on their own judgment.
Hansen said directors of the
tlub have never discussed the
possibility of removing Tighe.
whose Tigers have lost more
games than any other American
League club.
Hansen was interviewed during
Detroit's sixth straight loss yes
terday and during the talk he
looked up just in time to see Bal
timore's Bob Nieman hit his sec
ond straight home run over the
left field barrier.
"There," he said, "you can't
blame Jack for that. He can t hit
nd pitch for his players.".

where they will compete for the
right to enter the slate meet the
following weekend at Corvallis.
Entrants in the state competition
are qualified on an individual basis
as the first and second place fin
ishers in 13 of the 14 district events
are granted berths. In the 880 re
lay the first two four man teams
will go on to the state test. The
dinner of the 'state title will be
the school which has amassed the
most total points.
In 1957 the Pelicans placed four
men in the state meet off their
performances in the district clash.
This year coach Len Surtes has six
men whom he feels have an excel
lent chance to make the trip.
The Pel squad, which has seen
numerous changes in the roster
since early season, has improved
considerably and is expected to
turn in a better than average ef
fort at Grants Pass.
Making the trip for KU are Rob
Drace, Jim Sevde. Don Lynn. Don
Story. Claeton Griggs, Jim Parks.
Bill Santo. Don Isensee. Dale El
lis, Bill Sproat, Ken tollman, Rich
Humphrey, Tom Ankeny, Don Bun
ker, Allen Phillips, Don Leach,
Bob Lewis. Ron Olvera and Gordie
Scllars. One more man is to be
picked Thursday afternoon from
trials in the 100 yard dash.
Relative newcomers to the var
sity lineup include freshman ADen
Phillips. BUI Sproat and Dale El
lis. Phillips will compete in both
the javelin and high jump, while
Sproat will head the KU milers
and Ellis will enter the 880 and the
pole vault.
he quit pitching.
"I had to." he grinned. "John
ny Murphy's arm gave out."
Gomez, also known as "Goofv."
wasn't being zany when he made
that reply. For Murphy was a
great relief pitcher whose ability
to come out of the bullpen and
save games for tiring starters
played a major part in forging
the Yankee legend.
The relief pitcher, on the whole
is the unsung hero of baseball.
But give a team a good one and
the pennant prospects are bright
ened perceptibly.
Standouts - include such as Jim
Kon5tanty, who appeared in a
record 74 games for the 1950 flag
winning Phillies, and Hugh Casey
and Clem Labine, whose late
inning talents allowed each to
wrap up a pair of pennants for
the Dodgers.
Which brings us to Rinold
'Rinei Duren, the 29-year-old
flame thrower from Cazenovia,
Wis., who already has saved six
games for the YaDkees this sea
son as of Tuesday.
Duren is a six foot, two inch
200-pounder who throws the ball
with blazing speed. Compounding
his effectiveness, he is n e a r
sighted. This means that, when
he squints through glasses which
look like two lenses from the Mt.
Palomar telescope, the batters
take a very wary toehold.
Being extremely wild kept him
out of the majors for years. It is
no fable that he hit two men
waiting in the on - deck circle
while he was in the Texas
I eague. His teammates call him

oon character who walks into
brick walls, although Rine claims
"1 can see a hundred dollar bill
as quick as anybody."
But his inability to find the
plate, whether he could see it.
not, made his journey to the bis
time a long one. His travels car
ried him to such baseball way
stations as Wausau. Pine Bluff.
Dayton. Anderson. Scranton, San
Antonio, Baltimore, Seattle. Van
couver, Kansas City and Denver.
Once he was up with the old
St. Louis Browns, along with a
pair named Bob Turley and Don
Larsen. Now they are reunited
again, the Yankees getting Rine
in the Billy Martin deal with
Kansas City last June and then
farming him out to Denver for a
refresher course until this spring.
Now his speed has brought him
up again, with references to new
control.
Rine has saved six games for
the Yankees, Bobby Shantz being
his chief beneficiary with three
wins on Duren's relief talents. He
also has rushed to the winning
aid of Tom Sturdivant, Whitey
Ford and Sal Maglie. In the case
of Maglie, as example, can you
imagine the hitters' consternation
when, just as they are beginning
to time old Sal's caterpillar
slants, Rine comes in and starts
firing bullets?
