The Delta Demotrat-Times, Greenville, Miss. Sunday, March 8, 1953 Pago 7 Cotton States Sets Schedule Of 126 Games Opening On April 21 Six New Club Managers Meridian, Monroe Skippers To Return HOT SPRINGS By J. P. FRIEND Cotton Stales League Statistician The baseball pulse Cotton States League fans quickened sharply during the wsek with the announcement of the signing of the eighth manageq, plus some player signature jotting activity. The St.

Louis Browns, through their minor league director, Jim McLaughlin, completed the managerial complement with the selection of Frank J. Lucchesi, 26, of San Francisco, to'lead their Pine Bluff farm this season. An infielder, Lucchesi managed Thorn- asville, of the Class D. Georgia-Florida loop in '52. Of the other seven skippers, previously identified, only two are returning to their old jobs.

They arc Tommy Davis and Charley Harrington. Meridian, defending champion, persuaded Davis to remain at the helm of the Millers for at least another season despite several tempting job offers. Under the veteran player last.year the Millers celebrated their return to the league by winning not only the regular championship, but the playoffs to boot. They were in first place from opening day to the finish, a rarity in this strong Class league. Down in Monroe, Harrington has been given a second assignment to Sports back to the top of the loop, where they wound up the 1951 campaign.

President Boneau Peters, of the parent Shreveport (La) club, has promised the popular Harrington and Monroe fans a better class of playing talent in an-effort boost their fourth place. Charley, plauged with sick' ness and injuries part of last year is reported in fine physical condi tion and expects to get in at leasl 100 of the 126 games. He hasn't de cided what infield spot he will as sign himself. Remainder of the pilot list includes: Vernon (Moose) Shetler, Hot Springs; Wayne Tucker, Natchez; Marland (Duke) Doolittle, Jackson; Marion (Bill) Adair, El Dorado; and Harold Martin, Greenville. 1953-Official Cotton States League Schedule -1953 HOT SPRINGS PINE BLUFF EL DORADO GREENVILLE MONROE NATCHEZ With exception of Shetler, all will be making their league bid this Summer.

a giant hard hitting first baseman, started with the Bathers at first last season, but was sold to Owensboro (Ky), of the Kitty League, after only 10 games. He was a sensation with the willow for the Oilers from the start', bailing around the .375 mark during the first part of (lie season. When D. C. (Pud) Miller resigned as manager Shetler took his place and fin- JACKSON ished the race.

Owensboro wound up in fifth place. 'Moose' suffered a broken bone in his MERIDIAN right foot that kept him out of action for about six weeks. His batting average shrank to a final .307, due to a premature return to activity. Adair also cut his managerial eye eeth at Owensboro, and like Shet- er, wielded a tremendous bludgeon. Appearing in 101 games with he Oilers in 1949 Bill batted .356, ed in home runs, 23, and batted in 20 runs with 128 hits good for 15 total bases.

He was the lead- ng second baseman on defense with a remarkable .973 fielding percentage. Bill managed Eau Claire (Northern) the past two easons and was at Blusfield (Appalachian) in 1940. He succeeds Say Perry, who goes to Bakers- ield (California). Greenville secured three players extra when they secured Martin from Greenville, C. of the Tri-Stale League.

The new Buck chieftain Is bringing Ty Braziel hard hitting outfielder, pitcher Charles Lindqulst, and Billy Duroker, promising young infield star. Martin quite versatile, hit .250 with the Class Spinners. His average however was considerably higher most of the season. When General Manager Hudlin completed arrangements for the purchase of the Greenville franchise for Jackson (Miss), one of his first moves was to lure the veteran and cagey Doolittle from the Little Rock Travelers, whom Hudlin managed last year.

Coaches are seeing what amount and the experience of their material This survey is under way among the eighteen members of the Bij Eight conference. Greenville' Hornets were picked by tin coaches and writers as the No. team in the loop in '52. At th close of the season there seemed no doubt that this was true.

The one slipup and loss to Jackson Central Tigers was the trip that cost the Hornets the Big Eight championship and that loss to the Tigers, of all hard for a team that in our opinion was and still is superior to the Bengals. But that's football. Who thought Seton Hall would lose a basketball game after a long string of wins? So it looks like the Hornets won't be picked No. 1 for next fall. They'll have a rating that might not prove UNIVERSITY It's Johnny Vaught's idea that more than a few football players will draw playing opportunities under the new substitution rule.

"We won't have last year's separate platoon set-up," said the Ole Miss coach Saturday, "unless there's a tremendous abundance of talent, enough for four or five separate offensive and defensive units.

Tom Glennon, Natchez general manager, has expressed sheer delight over the acquisition of Tucker for his Indians. Having just turned 30 Tucker has three managerial years experience under his belt, fortified by a brilliant playing career. In one of his seasons with Beaumont of the Texas League, the second baseman was chosen as the league's "most valuable" player.
