SANTA ANA REGISTER, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1940 ALBANY DATES CONFLICT WITH S. ANITA Rule Hits Aging Tigers REPLACEMENTS NEW of Pfhe most ironical rulings In recent baseball history promises to make the Detroit Tigers, American League champions today, the sacrificial lambs of tomrorow. Handcuffed by the most cumbersome piece of baseball inanity in diamond "no trade" rule for American league Del Baker, whose club seriously needs of replacements, will swap nothing more than anecdotes at the winter baseball meetings. The legislation has become strictly a "white elephant" to the junior league moguls. To repeal it would be a tacit admission that it was aimed expressly at breaking the New York overpowering grip on baseball.

To leave it stand and watch the National league winner annually spend money and trade without restriction' would also be an equally bitter pill. Face Hopeless Task Actually an inferior club before last triumph, the Tigers face an almost hopeless task. Detroit carried the oldest infield in the league and only yards of adhesive tape and gallons 6f liniment helped hold it together during the summer. Charley Gehringer, veteran of T7 years with the Tigers, has already announced his intention of quitting. Shortstop Dick Bartel, waived out.

of the National league because of crippling attacks of arthritis, will be even less useful next year and Third Baseman "Pinky" Higgins will be slower at 32. Bridges About Through Gaps have already developed in the pitching staff. Tommy Bridges could be used in only one series kgame and will be practically through at 35. "Schoolboy" Rowe is a question mark. Nursed into a 16 game winner this year, he was a flop in the series and may have lost the winning touch.

Courageous Newsom will be the 1941 pitching nucleus but even he will be 32 then. The Tigers may be considered strong only in the outfield and behind the plate. Hank Greenberg and Barney McCosky are the two outfield regulars. Alternates Bruce Campbell and Pete Fox will both be 31, but the slow pace of fly-chasing makes their situation lass serious. Regular catcher "Birdie" Tebbetts is only 26 and alternate Billy Sullivan, 29.

farm system offers little help. Commissioner Landis took care of that by freeing 92 players last winter with one stroke of his pen. sur itou THIS WAS ONE OF THE FEW times Bonita had a chance to cheer at Garden Grove yesterday when Coach Blanchard Argonauts came from behind to win, 21-12.

Tickets will sell for 50 cents (adults) and 25 cents (kids and student body cards). The final 10-minute game between Santa Ana and Fullerton caa be regarded as a tentative effort on the part of both schools to reestablish football relations that were severed four years ago. If the respective student bodies are able to suppress their post-game activities there is said to be an even chance of a Saint-Fullerton game next year.

tennis world today mourned the death of Robert (Bobby) Carrothers, 18. winner of the 1940 National Junior crown, vie- tim of an automobile accident, i The lanky, red-headed youth, student at the University of Southern California, died at a hospital here last night of injuries received while en route from Los Angeles with three friends, for a weekend at his Coronado home. A tire blowout sent the car driven by John S. Ross, 18, Los Angeles, hurtling from the highway and down an embankment. Carrothers, riding in the rumble seat with Warren Beman, 18, Los Angeles, suffered a skull fracture and crushed chest.

injuries were internal and a broken leg. Ross and Dever Dutton, 19, of Riverside, the other front seat occupant, received only bruises and abrasions. tennis triumphs included the National championship in 1937 and many sectional and state honors. He also had been a basketball player in his high school days in Coronado. His future among the tennis greats had seemed assured.

Ellsworth Vines, champion of both the amatbur and professional courts, recently predicted that Carrothers was headed for a place among the 18 best netmen in another year. There were two big reasons today for believing that an county Ana vs. Thanksgiving Day might decide the 1940 Eastern Junior College conference football championship. One was Santa Ana, which manhandled Chaffey last night. The other was Fullerton, which polished off powerful Riverside at the same time, 14-7.

Dons and Hornets are now the only undefeated teams in the division and if they keep going they could come up to their annual classic with the title at stake.
