The Independent Record, Helena. Mom Tuesday, March 22, 1955 Harris Working to Build Tiger Mound Staff Frank Lary May Get Starting Job By The Associated Press A couple of weeks ago Bucky Harris, manager of the Detroit Tigers, said "I'm looking for this kid Frank Lary to take his turn as a starting pitcher this year," Bucky's been taking a good lookj Ohio, Goodyear Wingfoots and A XT H)f Qirl Friends Take Over Pan American GJames Where Boys Left Off rvjf ra Halona Hinh School Cathedral Hieh Mexico City Jerry Williams They're Calling Him Handball Players CVE Travelers, Goodyears Wingfoots Win Denver (JP) The Akron, at the 24-year-old righthander ever since. Lary is one of those "maybes" in Detroit's hopes for the first division this season. He's up from Buffalo, where he had a 15-11 record last season, including a seven- inning no-hitter. Harris figures Lary, whose brother Al is trying to hang on with the Chicago Cubs, and perhaps lefty Bob Miller, a 19-year- old, should be able to take their turn with the likes of Ned Carver, Al Aber, Steve Gromek and Billy Hoeft.

The Tigers then would have some pitching depth to support a pretty set lineup that lagged just one game out of fourth plact last season. Lary blanked Baltimore through five innings Monday. Two other rookies, Paul Foytack and Babe Birrer, continued the whitewash as Detroit won, 4-0. Both clubs got seven hits, but Detroit had the help of some walks and a 360-foot wallop by Wayne Belardi with a man on. Three more such blasts helped the Milwaukee Braves defeat the Chicago White Sox, 5-2.
