At the suggestion of Detroit police commissioner Ray Giar-din, assignments were bypassed at any site in the city, including the usual doubleheader at the U-D Memorial. The assignments were made public Monday.

John's took a giant stride toward old coach Joe Lapchick's THE DOUBLE LIFE OF "BIG is giving the White Sox a $70,000 headache. "And I'll let you in on a secret," offered general manager Ed Short, "we're getting mighty tired of reaching for the aspirin bottle." "Big down here is Dave DeBusschere, the 6-6 athlete out of Austin High and the University of Detroit. The Sox obviously don't like the company he keeps in the winter and spring. That is when he runs around with a bunch of human skyscrapers in short pants who bounce basketballs in their working hours and lounge around hotel lobbies in the daytime answering inane questions like "How's the weather up there?" In recent months, DeBusschere has been even more closely tied to the professional basketball brigade. Strictly a player for two years, he has been player-coach of the Detroit Pistons since early in the season now nearing its swan -song.

And if he wants the same job of running the team next year, he has been told by his basketball bosses that it is his for the taking, despite the shelling the team has absorbed in its latest games. "It's time for Dave to make his decision," insists Short. "He's gotta go one way or the other. We are going to insist on it." It was Short's acquiesence to Dave's double-life of baseball and basketball that lured him away' from signing with the Tigers three springs ago. Detroit was insistent' then that Dave play only baseball.

When he found that the Sox would let him have a fling at both, he went with the Chicagoans. The 70 grand they paid him was a factor, too. Throe Years Are Up, Coach "WE TOLD HIM AT THE TIME that we'd go along with him for three years," Short sail. "Well, he's had his three years. Now as player-coach of the Pistons he seems more elosely.

tied than ever with pro basketball. I'm definitely concerned about his future." Despite doubling in athletic brass, DeBusschere's pitching record is impressive. He spent two seasons in the minors and wrapped up a combination of 25 victories against nine defeats, plus 219 strikeouts. He compiled a 3-4 oig league mark when the Sox kept him around two years ago and showed enough promise that manager Al Lopez counted on him to be a probable starter last season. But then, as now, Dave was a late arrival in training camp because of his basketball chores.

When he did show up last spring, he was just getting over some broken bones in his leg, compliments of the rigors of basketball wars. What definitely has the Sox on edge this year is the fact that the Chicagoans are gearing themselves for a positive run at the 1965 pennant. They missed by just one game last season and are calling themselves "stronger than ever" now. While they enjoyed spectacular pitching in '64, they want everything to be in their favor this time. DeBusschere is one of those things and it is griping both Lopez and Short that as of Monday had yet to make an appearance in camp.

Sox Looking for One Answer "DAVE TOLD ME A COUPLE of weeks ago that he would fly down just as soon as the Pistons were eliminated from the NBA playoffs," Short declared. "They've been out of it for four-five days now. I'm still waiting for him to show up." If Short is chafing at Dave's absence, manager Lopez is enjoying it even less. (In Detroit, DeBusschere was indeed still with the Pistons, preparing to lead them in their final home game Tuesday night against the Lakers. (Dave has given the Pistons no indication he intends to leave before the season ends Saturday at St.

Louis.) It was the second straight loss for the Tigers and the second time in two days they were beaten by a late-inning homer. Andy Kosco, a former farmhand, did it Sunday with a ninth-inning blast which gave the Minnesota Twins a similar 5-4 victory over the Tigers. fourth national invitation tournament victory by defeating second-seeded New Mexico 61-54 in the nightcap.
