MA. 4525 SIDNEY-HILL Job Tilling Soil Taken by Manders Special to the Free Press ADEL, April 6 Hal Manders, 25-year-old Detroit Tiger pitcher who quit the game for the duration, accepted employment today on a stock farm near here. Manders, who is classified 3-A with the Dallas County draft board, is married and the father of a two-and-a-half-year-old son.

To Whom It May Concern MIKE IIIGGIXS, veteran third baseman of the Tigers, became a professional baseball player at the age of 16 when he received $5 for going from Dallas to Greenville, Texas, for a game. "When I found out the other boys were paid only $2 I thought that I was some ball player," Mike recalls with a chuckle. Unwittingly Michigan State displayed discretion iii calling off its scheduled 1943 football game with Oregon State. Coach Charley Bachman, of the Spartans, had only 10 men on hand for the first spring practice while 123 candidates, including seven lettermen, reported for the opening grid session at Oregon State. Michael (Dad) Butler, beloved trainer and track coach at University of Detroit, will be honored by the Irish Rifle Club at a testimonial steak dinner at Carl's Chop House, 3020 Grand River, at 7 p.

m. Wednesday. Butler celebrated his seventy-third birthday March 25. Capt. John Pingel, All-America halfback at Michigan State, ha3 been transferred from Fort Benning, to Baltimore where he is with the Military Police.

In contrast to the 1942 season when it toured the country, the Great Lakes baseball team will play most of its games at home this season for the benefit of the Sailors. Contests with 10 big-league clubs have been scheduled, one of the visitors at Great Lakes, 111., being the Tigers July 16. If Pills Help A9s9 They'll Help Anyone THE PHILADELPHIA Athletics have been placed on a diet which includes vitamin pills, and the company manufacturing the capsules ought to be able to sell to every baseball fan in the country if the awful A's finish higher than eighth place. A Detroit visitor this week is Pvt. Albert Uren, one of the large group of former Free Press sports department members now scattered throughout the world in the armed forces.

Uren is on furlough from the Army Air Field at Waco, Texas. Jodie Phipps, a pitcher trying out with the Los Angeles club, of the Pacific Coast League, makes a ritual of kneeling and kissing the plate after each victory. The reason for Pitcher Hal White's White to Go Against Bucs on Sunday Hal Ready for Action as Back Injury Heals; Wakefield's Fielding Gets Extra Attention Special to the Free Press EVANSVILLE, April 6 The Detroit Tigers, working with fresh enthusiasm after their day's vacation, hustled through a two-hour drill today and earned a massive smile from Manager Steve O'Neill. The best news was the report by Pitcher Hal White that he again is ready for front-line duty, and O'Neill put down the sophomore right-hander to start here Sunday against the Pittsburgh Pirates in his first exhibition appearance. White pitched 15 minutes in batting practice and said that he felt no trace of the back injury that confined him to limited service.

Conversely, Paul Richards, the thirty-four-year-old catcher who each day looks more like Detroit's No. 1 receiver, was struck on the right wrist while catching in batting practice and retired for repairs. Preliminary examination indicated the injury would not keep him out of action. At the moment, Dixie Parsons is trying to get the kinks out of a sore arm, and the third Tiger catcher, Al Unser, doesn't appear to measure up to major-league backstopping standards even though he is handy man to have around. Consequently, it wouldn't be astonishing if O'Neill selected Richards as his opening-game catcher.

O'Neill gave much personal attention today to the defensive make-up of young Dick Wakefield, who just isn't happy without a bat on his shoulder. Big Steve stationed the rookie outfielder at third base and belted ground balls at him for 10 minutes. Wakefield didn't look too good, so Prof. Rudy York, proud possessor of a American league fielding record, came over to offer some suggestions. The professor said later that he had a most exasperating time with his pupil.

The Tigers haven't the manpower to send anyone out for seasoning, but Don Patrick, a youngster from Cedarville, who turned to baseball after receiving his honorable discharge from the Navy as a survivor of the carrier Wasp, left today for Hagerstown, Md. There he hopes to become an Interstate League pitcher. ie worked with the Tigers for several weeks.

Barry did most or nis ngnung around Chicago. He started in 1891 when he knocked out Fred Larson. From that day until he retired after boxing a draw with Harrv Harris in 1899, he partici pated in 67 bouts. Of these he won 58, and 43 of them by knockouts. He boxed eight draws and one no-decision fight.

MICKEY COCHRANE had a rood service ball club at the Great Lakes Naval Training Station last season and figures to nave anomer good one this year. But if what the boys in blue tell you is true the service club to be reckoned with this vear is that which repre sents the Norfolk Naval Base. The Norfolk team is studded with big-leaguers, including three former Tigers. Freddy Hutchinson is the star pitcher now that' Bob Feller has sailed away to the South Pacific as a gunner on a battleship. Murray Franklin is the third baseman and Benny McCoy, the second baseman.

McCoy was a member of Cochrane's team last season, but was transferred to Norfolk some rime ago. The Navy, it seems, moves its men around as war-time necessity requires regardless of whether they are athletes. Other bis--leaeners on the Nor folk team are Hugh Casey, former Dodger; ai luvans, rormer wasn-ington catcher; Dom DiMaggio, fnrmpr Boston Red Sox outfielder. and Don Padgett, another former Dodger. It is a line-up that may give present-day big-league teams a real battle.

HAD LEY' Starring FAY BAINTiX AND EDW. ARNOLD Plu. -ire-CAPADES REVIEW BeAllotted to Survivors Rams Regain Title to Them When Play Resumes; Franchise Is Frozen for a Year BY EDWARD PRELL Special to the Free Press CHICAGO, April 6 The National Football League will operate as a nine-team unit next fall. The Cleveland Rams, members since 1937, petitioned for a suspension until the war's end of their franchise late today at the opening session of business in the annual spring meeting. By an unanimous vote, the league members agreed to a one-year freezing of the Rams' franchise, with the added provision that the club's representative must file its intentions for 1944 a month before next year's spring meeting.

If at that time, Cleveland does not want to operate it again will be granted a year's suspension. In taking this action the league automatically assumed control of the Cleveland players, who will be alloted to the various teams. When the Cleveland club comes back into the league, the players loaned out will revert back to the Rams. NEW SCHEDULE NEEDED The retirement of the Rams will necessitate drawing up a new schedule since the fifty-five-game chart Elmer Layden, league commissioner, had in readiness to sub- Dorais to Attend Draft Sessions Charles E. (Gus) Dorais, coach of the Detroit Lions, will attend the National Football League draft meeting in Chicago after all.

Dorais, who is recovering from an illness, said Monday that he would be unable to participate. Tuesday night he announced that his physician had decided he would not endanger his health if he made a one-day visit to Chicago. Dorais will leave Detroit Wednesday night and with the help of Fred L. Mandel, Lion president, will make the draft selective Thursday. mit to the club owners called for participation by 10 teams.

Chili Walsh, recently appointed Cleveland coach who made application for suspension, said that from 12 to 18 Cleveland players were available for 1943 at the last checkup. It was not immediately learned whether Cleveland will be allowed to participate in the player draft, which was postponed until Thursday. It is believed there is ajos-sibility the Rams might be granted the right to select 20 college players. Any who were available for next season could be coupled with the present players on the Rams' rolls and distributed to the other teams. MAY CUT PLAYER LIMIT After freezing the Rams' franchise, the league and club officials took up other constitutional matters.

One of the most important considerations was the player limit, now standing at 33, but which is expected to be lowered to 25. The biggest development of tonight's session, the rules meeting, was expected to be installation of the free substitution rule, which has been in effect in the intercollegiate code for two seasons. An unofficial poll revealed that the coaches were in favor of this rule. The general discussion on the 1943 policy will continue tomorrow. Stobbe Surprises in Handball Meet As the survivors of opening-round play turned into the quarterfinals of the State AAU singles handball tournament, Paul Stobbe upset third-seeded Jack Hagenah, 21-10, 21-15, at the University or Detroit field house Tuesday.

DBF Future Has Moran Fretting a Bit Boys Fail to Turn Out for Meetings as They Did Other Years and Shorty Wonders Why BY BOB LATSHAW Silver-haired George J. (Shorty) Moran, president of the Detroit Amateur Baseball Federation, has been one of the most optimistic haseball men in Detroit, but his conviction seems to be wavering.

At Ti esday night's meeting of the DBF, Moran appeared to be uncertain as to the success of the coming baseball season on Detroit's sandlots. It's true that Moran was highly pleased with the 33-team paid entry already on the Federation's books, but there seemed to be something wrong. "In previous years we have had in times as manv bovs up here for these weekly meetings," Moran said. "Is it because of the lack of time? Are the boys in the Army? Are the managers having trouble getting new players?" QUESTION'S UNANSWERED All those questions went unanswered by the managers who were on hand. One lone spokesman volunteered the information that 11 of his team's personnel had gone into the Army.

A movement got under way to move teams from Class up to Class A this season, provided that the Federation would reduce the entry fee for those clubs. Morris Berger, manager of the East Side team in Class made the suggestion, but no other Class or Class A manager would support or disprove the measure. It all ended with Moran observing that such action might be a bit premature. "We will operate a Class A league with four teams," Moran pointed out. "We have three teams already in the division and have three more weeks before the season starts.
