Walter Steve Shocke, a scorekeeper In the City Bowling Tournament, became a little tired of marking up all the big scores for other people Saturday afternoon, so he stepped out and rolled one for himself.

He knocked down fi46 pins on the Chene Trombly Recreation drives to tit; for fifth place in the regular singles. The bowling scorer, who rolls on the Mack Avenue Recreation team, got away to a poor start with a 147 game but came right back with a 2 ib game, one of the tour ney's high games, to put himself up in the running. Then he closed with a 223 which placed him with the leaders. Neither Photke of the spectators had any idea he was going for a 2.6 in the second game for he opened with a 5-7 split. After that, however, he poured in 10 successive strikes and bagged eight pins on his last ball.

He had a double and a triple in his last game. Charles Heath and Mai ion Huffman of the Northwestern Recreation Junior House League produced one of the three changes in the over average competition when they hit 130 over average to gain third place. The gross score was 1006 with Heath hitting 581 and his partner 485. Don Hall, of the R. O.

NYsbitt League, and Henry Cuomo, of Rainbow Recreation, each hit 97 pins over average to enter a triple tie for eighth place in the handicap singles. Hail's gross score was 607, Cuomo's fS0. Grinders of Ternstedt paced competitors in the over-average team event at Argyle by rolling 213 over average with a 2205 to which Otto Jahn contributed the top score of 470. Presentation of an A.

perfect game medal to the veteran Al Dingell was one of the features of the evening's rivalry at Argyle. Alma Netters Shut Out AI.HION. May 7 Albion College shut: out the Alma College tennis team, 7-0, in an M.I.A.A. match here today. Can.

A battle of wits between Managers Oscar Vitt, of Cleveland, and Connie Mack, of the Athletics, preceded Trosky's appearance at the plate. With Hale on third, Averill on first, the score tied and one out, Vitt first sent righthander Julius Solters to but for Bruce Campbell.

Mack immediately replaced Southpaw Ed Smith with Nelson Potter, a righthander, so Vitt withdrew Solters in favor of Trosky. Frankie Pytlak followed Trosky with another single to drive another run. Home runs accounted for all ofi the other scores. Hale led off with a circuit clout in the first and Campbell poled one in the second1 while Gene Hasxon's tremendous drive over the right field fence scored Bob Johnson ahead of him 1o account for both Philadelphia tins in the seventh. l.f.

"To begin with," he went on, "a triple play usually is started by a line drive right at some ln-ficlder. And oftimes the fielder puts his hands up in self defense to catch the ball. There's nothing thrilling about that, is there? No fancy fielding, no racing for the bag Just putting up your hands to catch a ball. After that it's mechanical. A simple matter of stepping on one base and throwing to another." Triple Play Unassisted THE old-timer's remarks starting mental cogs working.

We could recall witnessing only one and it was the rarest of the rarean unassisted triple killing yet it lacked the finesse and thrills of many a double play. It happened almost a decade ago, when Johnny Neun was playing fust base for the Tigers. Late in the game, with runners on first and second, a batter lined the ball right at Neun. He stuck up his hands to prevent having his head knocked off and the ball stuck in it. He stepped on first to complete a double play and at that moment, a shout went up, "Throw It to second." Instead of throwing, Neun elected to race down to second himself, to complete the play.

And we can still almost hear the echo of his yell, outla my way and let someone run who can run." With that he was off for second and tagged the third man out. "Sure," cut In the old-timer, "that's how they happen. No spec tacular fielding just a rifle shot at some infielder. Look at the one the Red Sox pulled against the lanke.es a few weeks ago. The Yankee catcher, Joe Glenn.

lined to Jimmy Foxx. Foxx threw to Cronin to catch the runner off second and Joe made a quick re lay to Foxx to nip the runner who has left first. Tiger Variety Tops THE old-timer thought a while, then continued. "I've seen milte a few triple plays, but none of them as thrilling as some of the double plavs the Tigers make. The Gehrlnger-Rogell to Greenberg plav is near tops.

"When you consider that it's 30 yards from the plate to first, and a left-handed batter gets the jump, a runner can make it in three seconds. That isn't much time for nn infiielder to race after a ball, whirl and throw. Yet, Gehrtnger tloes it repeatedly. I'll take that for my thrill any time compared to the triple plays I've seen or read about." There are other plays, too, that can be thrilling. The sight of a runner trying to score from third after a catch in the outfield.

That race between man and ball to the plate with the catcher crouched along the base line. And there's something thrill ing, too, about the squeeze play to allow a runner to score from third. And a steal of home to lift you out of your sent.

That was the reason Ditzler's baseball team defeated Cadillac, 5 to 4, Satur day afternoon at Northwestern Field as the Industrial League opened its 1938 season. Bouncing Bill pitched three hit less Innings in Ditzler's triumph and drove home the winning run In the ninth inning with a sharp single. O'Malley ts the kind of fellow who can play almost anywhere and look good. Saturday he start ed the Ditsler-Cadulac game in left field. After Cadillac, defend.

ing Blue Division champion, had jumped into a 4-2 lead in six in nings, O'Malley replaced Johnny Donkin on the mound for Ditzler. That Was the Signal That seemed to he the signal for the Ditzler team. It pushed across two runs in the seventh to tie the score. In the ninth inning Joe McLaughlin, the catcher, walked and went to second on a sacrifice. Here Bouncing Bill lashed out his single to score the winning run.

In other games, Plymouth got only four hits off Southpaw George Gcorgieff but managed to beat Chrysler Highland Park, 4 to Dodge Forge blanked Chrysler Kereheval, 3 to DeSoto trounced Hudson, 18 to 3, and Briggs beat Hudson, 6 to 2, in a second contest. Jimmy the veteran catcher, got three of the four Plymouth hits, one a triple. He drove home three of his team's four runs. The other was unearned. Bisttell Civet, Only 5 Hits Merrill Bissell, Dodge Forge southpaw, limited Chrysler Kereheval to five hits in scoring his shutout.

DeSoto made 20 hits good for 18 runs in trouncing Hudson. The veteran Reggie Colone got four of the DeSoto hits, one a triple. An Reinholz and Johnny Pa lush hit homers for the winners. Danny Lipinski's two sharp singles which drove home three runs helped Briggs take a 6-0 lead in the first three innings of the second Hudson contest. Defci.tn 'iii mn air is in Mini.

Clark indicated that he would play as little as possible, and none if he could get a satisfactory quar terback. That post isn't any too encouraging. Huffman and Shep herd can call 'em but not like the oldtime Dutchman. Herb Royer, of Marshall, Is new and good they say.

"I'm not worried greatly about the centers," Clark continued. Vie 11 have young Lee Stokes back and we have good leads on three other centers I'll tell you about later." Contracts Are Problem But their contracts sren't in and of course that will be a Lion problem until they are. But the players have been proved. "Monahan, Keldhaus and Wag ner, veteran guards, with a hunch of good ones signed makes us strong there," Dutch said. "And Jack Johnson and Bob Reynolds ought to have good seasons at tackle.

Clark has signed Mason Bugg, tackle from No. Carolina State but he hasn't signed Jack Macken roth, of North Dakota, and so it goes. At end the Lions don't ap pear so tough even though Butch Morse and Chuck Henneman are returning. Maurice Patt. of Carnegie Tech, is signed with Tony Kniger, ot Kansas State.

But can they play end in pro leagues? Dutch doesn't know, and he has about 20 more young men who have him guessing. Ace Needs Help Caddel and Cardwell can handle the right halfback job with Dick Nardi, recently from O.S.U. Ace Outowsky is the only fullback Dutch can depend upon. Newer plungers are Bill Stapulis, of Pitt; Art Ditt, of North Carolina: Ceorge Fowler, nf Indiana, and Bill Lofton, of Tulane. Ace can't do it all alone.

He needed more rest than usual last year and so did Frank Christiansen, blocking back, who may retire. And so with just a handful of proved oldtimers and a host of untried green material, Ernie and Dutch are shouldering the responsibility of winning and packing 'em in at Briggs Stadium this autumn. The Lions open with Pittsburgh, then go to Cleveland and Green Bay before opening here on Oct. 16 against Sammy Baugh and Washington. A ke how he thought the Lions might fare in 1938, Dutch said: "I think we'll do alright.

IS H.t I Intll ll- lire I I ilral -1 'R- II ir.sri nl'e I'atne I Mi, 'iiiin By Tod Rockwell Two old-time football players and young Detroit businessmen, Earl (Dutch) Clark and Ernie Caddel, top bosses of the Detroit Lions, face as touch a Job as any two young businessmen in this community. Their business ts to win more football games than other teams in the National Professional Football League.

That means beat the Packers and the Bears, top the Washington team with Sammy Baugh and the other admittedly stronger teams In the Eastern Division. Their problems are manifold. But the Dutchman and his No. 1 assistant, Caddel, are tackling them with at least an outward calm that a year's experience was bound to give them as eosches and managers. There will be fewer oldtimers back than before, and of the veterans, most of them are younger men of little experience in professional football.

That calls for more new men. The Dutchman and Caddel have a lot of strings out and some promising young men Just about to sign and others signed. But the college athlete who clicks his first year in pro ranks Is the exception. The Dutchman speaks: "We'll have the biggest turnover playing on the Detroit sandlots five years. Before that he played at Southwestern High School.

The hustling shortstop, who was born 20 years ago in Little Rock, always has been a good hitter. Last year he hit for the Benson team and in two years at Southwestern he. had marks of and .467. It's the fielding which has been responsible for Warblitton's wisecracking comebacks. Last year Bill made 12 errors and finished with a ragged .782 fielding average.

Only one infielder in Class made more errors than Mr. War-britton. Every time Bill made an error he had a comeback. He could always explain just how and why he missed. In his best southern drawl, Waibritton had more excuses for some of his fielding miscues than politicians have had for' the depression.

Eill usually finished his "comebacks" with "But I sure can hit." The records will uphold War-britton when it comes to batting. He started the 1938 season last Sunday with the Sam's team by cracking out a home run and two singles' in four times at bat All of his hits were sharp line drives. After that game. Bill strutted oft Northwestern Field. Not onlv had he made three hits, but he also had handled eight fielding chances without an error.

lit fensively, Waibritton claims he will not r.t?.-d his comeback this because 'I made enough tiiuis Lid ye, ii to la.sl ine two three seasons." Offensively. Dill says.
