Ward LAKELAND. March 24-By his apparent recovery from the Ills 1 which beset him last season, Mar vin Owen seems to have snivel the I infield problem for the Tigers. Owen probably will play third base for the Tigers this season and Mickey Cochrane expects him to do a good job. Owen'. bat tle for his job is one of the surprises of the training season.

Hailed as the best player in the International League when he came to the Tigers last year, he became HI and failed to live up to his earlv promise. hen he joined the jcamp here this spring after taking treatments at Hot Springs, Ark he was pale and seemingly a thinner than at the end of last season. Persistent reports during tie inter and after the Tigers csme to camp had it that the Bengal, would attempt to make a deal for third hiseman. Thev had lit'le hope that Owen would be good enough to hold the job, the reports said. No linger Handicapped During the past week Owen ha.

participated in Infield drills almost daily. He has worked hard and at no time has he suffered a recurrence of the trouble which handicapped him last season. He was wary of becoming too optimistic but today said that it looked as if ha had the thing that bothered him licked. can do many things this year that I could not do last season." said Owen. "I think everything will he all right." Mickev Cochrane ton seems in have confidence that Owen will he able to play third base.

Cochrane announced today that th Tigers would not attempt to mak deal for a player to replace Marvin. He Intends to build his team from the men now on the roster. ir in condition to ao his Best, Owen is a good ball player." said Mickey. "I have watched him closely since coming to camp. He has been playing good hall.

save he has not been ill at any time and his actions would seem to bear out his statement." Not After I.n Ijiry Mickey denied specifically that the Tigers hoped to make a deal with the Yankees fnr Lyn Lary. We are not going to make a deal with the Yankees or anybody else." said Mickey. "We're going with what we have. You only begin to appreciate the ability of Owen when you try to get a fellow to beat him out for his job." Of course, Cochrane favorable attitude toward Owen does not indicate that Flea Cliftnn or Salty Parker, two recruit Infielders. will not be retained.

Cochrane still Is looking them over and has come to no decision regarding their status. Next week the Bengals will go into the business of playing exhibition games in dead earnest. Games will be played every day except Monday, and every day thereafter until April 7. They will break camp April 9. Start with Newark Sunday the Newark team of the International League will play at the Lakeland Field.

March 24 If Steve Larkm can't stay with the Tigers he prefers to be sent to some league where he won't have to ride on busses in traveling from town to town. Last season while playing in the Dixie League Steve rode the top of a bus for 200 miles. He went up there to catch whatever breezes might be blowing and rolled up his pants legs so that the Texas sun might have a chance to tan his skin. The sun did so good a job that Steve had to be assisted from the bus. He contracted sun poisoning and was lamed for several days.

He has been "off bus leagues ever since. Fencing Stars Duel for Titles Two New Champions to Be Decided At least two new champions are assured when the finals of the Michigan fencing championships are held next Satuidiy night at the Hotel Statler. Men's foils and epee are without defending champions. but Alfred E. Sauer, in sabers, and Mrs.

Joanna de Tuscan, in foils, will seek to repeat their last year's con quests. Charles Schmitter. the ions champion, and Norman Benham, who won the epee title last year, did not enter the preliminaries this season. Four fencers are surviving in each class. Sauer, dean of city fencers, who was a topnotcher as far back as 1912 when he went to Sweden with the American Olympic team, is the only qualifier In all three weapons.

With, his years or experience no will be a strong contender for honors. Sauer Is a three-time State champion in foils and saber and twice the titleholder in epee. Harry Lutz, towering left-hander from Michigan State, is in both the epee and saber competition. This is his first year of fencing. Joseph G.

Savich, stocky Salle de I uscan fencer, also will hid for both the epee and saber titles. Dr. L. A. Frost, of Monroe, jun ior foils and epee champion this year, will seek senior honors in bom weapons.

Ralph VV. Bristol, runner- I up in the foils championsnip in 1933, wllj seek to gain first place I this time. He represents Michigan State. Will Levcrenz, junior saber champion who fences from the De troit Turnvercin, will demonstrate I his style in foils. Howard Hayden, who defeated i Sauer in the preliminaries, will try for the saber crown.

However, many doubt if he will be able to tufrn the tricK again. In the women's competition Mrs. de Tuscan is a stand-out. favorite. She has held the State foils title for I four successive years without the loss of a single bout.

Miss Kathleen HigheB-Hallett, daughter of the British consul here; Mrs. K. E. Scott and Miss Beatrice Mernam are her rivals in the finals. How ever, they are expected to battle it out for second place.

The tournament will begin at 7 i o'clock.

STEVK I.ARKIN i 1 i I Tooles to Play Belmont Five Champs to Be Tested in Playoff Battle If Dr. Tonics, defending champions in the Detroit Basketball Association, are to maintain the precedent they have established of playing their best In championship competition, they will be at top form Sunday. The Tooles face Belmont Printers, their strongest rivals, in a Class Triple A playoff battle at the Light Guard Armory, Five other games also are listed. The Tooles and Printers will be engaging in their second playoff contests. Both teams won last week, the champions disposing of Pulaski Post, while the Printers subdued Sweetest Hearts.

Printers Hold Edge The Printers have the edge on the season's play, having defeated the Tooles twice by decisive scores, but the champions appear to be nearing their best form. The exceptional play of Borton and Wardcll, which marked last week's contest, convinced the Printers they are up against It. Belmont has Its share of stars, however, with Worz-niak, Wattrick and Laske apparently equal to carrying th fight. Laske, the tall Belmont center, totaled 14 points against the Hearts and unless closely watched may give the Tooles a taste of the same kind of scaring. The game, which will close Sunday's program, will start at 8:30 o'clock.

Either the Grand Trunk or Pu laski Post team will be eliminated from the playoffs Sunday afternoon when the two meet in a contest scheduled for 2:30 o'clock. Grand Trunks' defeat by Jaglowicz Shoes was the surprise of the opening playoff program and the Trunks will need to show far better form to stay in the fight Pulaski Post, which hit a slump In the second half season, also must Improve to score a victory. Jaglowln Threaten Hearts The other Triple A playoff game will find Sweetest Hearts fighting for survival in the two-game knockout series after a defeat In the Jaglowicx. the "dark horse" team of the tournev. has rhance to stage an advance and If the Jaglowicz men play as they did against the Trunks, there will be little doubt of their victory.

Class A playoffs will bring together two undefeated teams, Hostess Cake, which has scored two victories, and Central A. the fast Negro team which has won Its only start Chrysler-Jefferson, which after winning both half season races is having a hard fight to remain In the playoffs, will face Sweitzer Creamery The Creamery team beat Chrysler last week. A defeat for either team will mean elimination. 1 :.10 D. Rnttmu Ckm r.nte.1 P.

Flea has not heard from Sid recently. Twice Clifton has suffered accidents which he feared would end his baseball career. At Raleigh several years ago he suffered a dislocation of his left elbow when a player bumped into him. The injury affected hie shoulder and hampered his throwing for a time. He used to have a great throwing arm.

The year before last he suffered a dislocation of the right knee during a game at San Antonio. That injury put him out of action for a long time. Even when the 1933 season began Flea suspected that he was not as fast as he used to be. But Jack Zcller, Tiger scout who has charge of affairs in the Southwest for the Detroit club, staged a footrace. Flea won It.

"He can and he will." They say that Clifton, who is five feet 10 Inches tall and weighs 160 pounds, once challenged big Hank Greenberg to battle during a heated verbal exchange while both were members of the Beaumont club. "And don't let my size bother you." said the Flea to 210-pound Greenberg. "I'll take care of Clifton. How do you like that?" Hank is quite a fighter himself but he didn't accept the challenge.
