W. Edgar is Interesting to note what 1 effect the presence of one player oftimes has on an entire athletic team. The team may have strength at all positions be it baseoall, tool-ball, basketball or hockey yet have a difficult time conquering any rival, if it doesn't possess a type of player who will inspire the others. It sounds funny, to be sure, that ne plaver could lift a team from an ordinary group of athletes stumbling around in the dark to a team that brushes aside all opposi- "Yot, the pages of sport history are studded with cases where one player a fiery leader provided the difference between a chronic loser and a winner.

I got to thinking about this yesterday afternoon when the Tigers were giving the Browns another sound beating. From all accounts the Tigers have been transformed in the past two days from a stumbl- inz ball club to a gang of murderous hitters that has no mercy for any pitcher. What brought about the change? Surely, the intlcld was just as strong as it ever was. The outfield was just as good. True, the pitched were not quite up to the accepted standard with the lone exception of Rowe.

Yet, the club couldn't win with any degree of consistency. Then Cochrane as fiery a leader as ever stepped on the ball field-returned to the game and look what happened. The Bengals literally crushed the Browns. It Isn't dillicult to place one's finger on the reason for the great change that took place. It was the presence of Cochrane in the line-up.

With Black Mike in th game the Tims are a different ball club. He has that rare faculty of inspiring a team, lifting it to the heights. That'j the answer to the great trnnslorniauon me riigai. i inst another cases of the presence of one player in action inspiring the entiie group. Indians Were Ordinary with Thorpe Missing WHAT Cochrane does to the Tigers old Jim Thorpe used to do to the Carlisle Indians when they roamed the gridiron and what Red Grange did to the Fighting lllini in the Conference.

It has been years since the Car lisle Indians, under "Pop" Warner, threw fear into the hearts of all opponents. But as I recall them, the Redskins were lust an ordinary football aggregation without Thorpe. And thev knew It. But no matter how hard the going, how difficult the struggle, or how stubborn the opposition, they gave a good account of themselves any time Thorpe entered the game. He was blessed with what we call inspirational leadership.

Illinois was much the same when Ciange whs the spearhead. So long as the sctiad knew the famed redhead was in the backficld, ready to carry the ball, the players were a liird lining group. They had continence in Grange and seemed to realize that any time he started fiown the field the pressure was on Hie other follow. That's why Illinois was hard to beat when the redhead was in the game. These inspirational leaders are rimie valuable than gold to coaches and malingers.

Head first he dished the champ again over the top rope and Dick sprawled once more on the cement. As fate would have he landed at the feet of Buddy Rogers, widely known movie star. Buddy had been eating peanuts.

Then the swarthy Hendrie St. man body-slammed Dick plenty. He plopped on his prostrate form and with three slaps on the back, Referee Vern uiaric signaled mat the title was Ali and Detroit's.

Then there was a siirht around Olympia'g ring. The head man was Hendrie Sts. favorite. His head was shaved shiny. But he sported a black moustache thRt was no phoney because Dick had twitched It with a will several times.

The new champion was bare. tooted. He sported scarlet trunks. Hairy-chested, he stood in the cen ter of the ring and stiffly bowed a neck that came straieht tin from his shoulders. The new champ truly can aoii nis collar without removing his tie.

Of such is the bulk of nis neck. iie oowea airain una a the cheers rang out. He disdained aiding the fallen Shikat who was carried from the ring by three policemen and two ushers and another man.

or nelght he Just a little guy but his chest is bigger than most barrels. Tre mendous shoulders and arms make him appear top heavy and make his legs seem spindly. So short were the latter that at no time could he effect any of the usual scissors crips on Shikat. His legs were inches short of encircling tnc great torso of the German. Spectators whooped it up ax he squatted cross-legged in his coiner rathnr than stand up, as do all wrestlers prior to houts.

He sat there as stoical as a cigar-store Jmlinn. 'Twas whispered that he couldn't speak much English. But the folks out Hendrie St. way know better and so do ringsiders now. When Clark, following Shi-kat's application of his famed and torturous hammerlock, asked Ali if he'd quit, he replied, as plain as could be: "Hell, no." Case May Be Dropped Shikat flew to Detroit from Columbus, where he is involved in a lawsuit which attempts to prevent him from further wrestling.

Injunctions, sought by Joe Alvarez, of Boston, were denied his former manager who claims he owns a share of Shikat's earnings. The court however, impounded Shikat's earnings. Alvarez undoubtedly will drop the suit, however, now that Shikat has lost his laurels. He said as much. The supporting card of last night's show stamped Adam Wies-muller as a worthy promoter.

His bouts were entertaining and packed with action. It was his second card at Olympia. In the first bout Frank Malccwicz and Ernie Peterson drew in 20 minutes; Frank Sexton pinned Pat McCleary in Jim Heffner and Bill Kief drew in 30 minutes, and John Swenski pinned Alex Kasaboski in the semi-final in 16:52. Following his defeat Shikat was taken to Receiving Hospital complaining of pain in the pelvic girdle. Physicians X-rayed the pelvis to determine if the injury was serious.

LOUIS, April 24 Schoolboy Rowe left the Tigers tonight to go to the bedside of his father, who was reported to be dying in a hospital at Eldorado, Ark. Rowe received word at noon today that his father had been taken ill suddenly and removed to a hospital. Later a message from his sister informed him that their parent's condition was extremely serious.

Just before the Tigers were to depart for Chi cago, his sister called him by long distance telephone and asked him to hurry home saying that his father was not expected to live through the night. Mr. Rowe has been suffering for several with a growth on his stomach, the Schoolboy said before he started for Schoolboy Rowe nome. He is 69 years of age. The Schoolboy himself was con fined to his bed with a slight cold when he received the first message today.

He was feeling much bet ter physically tonight, however, and thought he could get home without any trouble. He was scheduled to pitch against the White Sox tomor row to seek nis tnua successive shutout of the season. Since he will not be available, Mickey Cochrane will send Roxie Lawson against the Chicagoans. Neither Rowe nor Cochrane to night knew just how long the Schoolboy would be from the club. The Schoolboy said, however that he would rejoin the team at the earliest possible moment.

It was no wonder that Rogers Hornsby trudged from the field with his head down at the finish, mumbling something about it being tough enough to encounter that kind of hitting and pitching the Iigers get without having to face miracle man fielding as well.

I he Tigers began their task of wiping out the Browns by twos nd threes in the veiy first inning. After the Tigers had gone out in order in their half of the inning, Lyn Lary opened the St. Louis half witn a single. The First Double That hit carried a hint of trouble but the peril passed almost Immediately. Sammy West hit a liner to right which Pete Fox hauled down, and then Charley Gehringer took a grounder from the hat of Moose Solters and started a double play that retired the side.

After seeing the Tigers score six times in the second, the Browns tried optimistically to get a rally started in their half.

But In the fourth the home folks got awoy to what looked like a real rally when Bridges suddenly soared, walking Lary and West In succession, and the Tigers tried something extra, coming up with the triple killing. Major League Starter After Bridges Isaued the two passes, Solters singled, scoring Lary and setting the stage for the triple play. With West on second ana Solters on first, Bottomley lined to Gehringer. Charley made the catch rifled the ball to Bill Kogell, catch ing West off second.

Then Rogell lined a throw to Greenberg, retir ing Solters before he could get bacK to first. In the fifth the Tigers came up with their third double play. Bell opened with a single, hut never got beyond first. Clift. the next hatter.

Not satisfied with this work, the Tigers almost came up with a fourth double play in the seventh. Bell singled after one was out In the frame and was forced at second when Clift grounded to Owen.

After taking Owen's throw, Gehr inger got away a fast toes to Green- berk that seemed to have Clift beaten, but Umpire Charlie Johnston called him safe and the double play erasure was lost. Tiger Bats Boom The Tigers also kicked in with a lot of timely hitting to help Bridges to his triumph, getting to four Brownie pitchers for 11 blows, which included triples by Gehringer and Rogell and doubles by Fox, Cochrane, Greenberg and Simmons. Mickey and Charley paced the hitters, Mickey getting a single in addition to his double, and Charley a single In addition to his triple. Marvin Owen kicked in with two singles with men in scoring position. Earl Caldwell, Elton Walkup, Russell Van Atta and Mike Meola were the htirlers Hornsby sent in to stop the Tigers' attack.

Caldwell was the victim of the big second inning scoring party and was charged with the defeat. The picnic got under way when Clift fumbled a grounder by Simmons. Goslin singled off Bottom-ley's glove but Rogell, attempting to sacrifice, bunted a pop fly to Caldwell and was out. Owen was good for a single that scored Simmons, however, and after Bridges struck out. Fox doubled to left, scoring Goslin.

Cochrane decided to look things over and was given a base on balls, filling the bases. That enabled Gehringer to boost his runs-batted-in total for he tripled to deep center, scoring all hands. Greenberg followed with a double that scored Gehringer and then Walkup was sent in to pitch for the Browns. He stopped the slaughter by getting Simmons, up a second time, to fly to West. The St.
