REESE PULLS BONER Houston, Texas, March 18.—(?)— The New York Giants again have been victims of a “Fred Merkle.” With the Giants leading Houston 4-3 in the seventh inning Andy Reese failed to touch second base while advancing on Lindstrom’s hit. The Houston second baseman called.for the ball. This re- tired the side, but Houston did no IS WELCOME HURLER Former Senator Manager Is a New Type of Pilot to Come to Detroit GEHRINGER PLAYS SECOND Harry Rice and John Stone, With Rookie Johnson, May Make the Outfield Phoenix, Ariz. Match 18—(AP)— Whether Stanley “Bucky” Harris plays or not, he is a factor that can- not well be overlooked when the chances of the Detroit Tigers in the forthcoming, American League cam- paign are cénsidered. Considerable interest will center up- on Harris’ debut with the Tigers, for his accession to the managership brings them a leader of a type new to Detroit baseball, x Heilman At First After holding down an outfield berth for the past 10 years, Harry Heilmann, whose chief enjoyment ap- pears to be knocking dry knots out of baseball fences, has been assigned to first base. Dale Alexander, formerly of To- ronto, a fence buster, has been hit- ting a mighty pace to vie with Heil- mann. The six foot three inch first base prospect, who batted .380lastsea- son, appears to fave put in a stronger bid for } 1929 hitting hon- ors than has Du ley Branom, draft- ed from Louisville where he led the American Associa- tion in total bases Bucky Harris and hit around -320. Charley Gehringer, who ranked as the best second sacker in the league and a .316 batsman last year, will again fill the berth he has held for the last three seasons. Heinie Schuble, once with the St. Louis Cardinals, and last year with the Houston club of the Texas League, has been working his head off to meke the shortstop grade. Mortie McManus, veteran of two years, is a certainty at third. If Roy Johnson, $75,000 fly chaser from the San Francisco club of the Coast Leagte, fits into the place Har- ris has opened for him, the Tigers will have an outfield possessed of both power and speed. Harry Rice and Jolm Stone, togeth- er with Johnson, are considered’ an ideal outfield. All are better than 300 hitters. Buck Likes Uhle George Uhle might have been re- linquished by Cleveland because he had lost his pitching cunning but. Manager Harris is not sorry for hav- ing the great hurler on his staff. Harris is counting on the veteran to be a mainstay of the Tiger corps. Uhle, who had his “wing” treated by @ specialist, is displaying to the satis- faction of Harris the easy delivery of yore. Emil Yde, former Pittsburgh Pi- rate, is another newcomer from whom Harris expects much. Portsider Phil Page, purchased from Springfield, Ill, is showing lots of ability. Harris has night right handers in addition to Uhle. Six of them were with the club last season, Owen Carroll, lead- ing club pitcher last year, George Smith, stocky Gil Stoner, relief hurl- er, and Sam Gibson are the more ex- Perienced. In all, five backstoppers are wear- ing the Tiger uniform, but it looks as if Mervyn Shea will be the ace of the lot. Larry Woodall, oldest catcher on the squad, had a bad season last more scoring. ROSENFELD MAY PLAY INFIELD Clearwater, Fla., March 18.—(P)— Max Rosenfeld may become a utility infielder. Manager Robinson has out- fielders in quantity and needs reserve infielders. Rosenfeld played second base at intervals last season and Robinson has begun to experiment with him. CUBS DRUB ANGELS Los Angeles, Calif., March 18.—(?) Hack Wilson has snapped out of his spring docility. Three home runs, two singles and three runs were his contribution to the Cubs’ 17 to 0 rout of Los Angeles in yesterday’s exhibi- tion. For the first time this season, the Cubs got some good pitching dur- ing the game. BISHOP REACHES AGREEMENT Fort Myers, Fla., March 18—(P)— Max Bishop, holdout second baseman, has reached an agreement about sal- year but expects to do better. The Sportfolio (By ED POLLOCK) ‘The most important familiar person in a new uniform this season is Rogers Hornsby, shown here in the regalia of the Chicago Cubs. The fellow wel- coming Hornsby to Catalina Island is William Wrigley, Jr., owner of the Cubs. Hornsby is with the Cubs this season, his fourth different outfit in four years. With Hornsby in their fold, the Cubs are favorites to win the National League pennant this season. Bismarck Boxers {Phantoms to Meet Carded at Oakes Valley / All-Stars Bismarck’s boxing coterie will move to Oakes en masse March 28 to meet three Oakes battlers in a pugilistic show there, it was announced today by Isham “Tex” Hall manager of the Bismarck pounders.

The youth made @ good impression when he knocked out Chief Grant, Elbowoods, in his first appearance in the ring here March 7. He is learning the tricks little by little, Hall says, and will be one of the best heavyweights in the state in a short time. PIONEER MILLER DEAD Minneapolis, March 18—()—Wil- liam D.

CRITZ CAPTAINS REDS Hughey Critz, star second baseman, will captain the Cincinnati Reds this the Bismarck In Retaining Title Champs Defeat Enderlin 26 to 18 for Second Time in State Tourney Enderlin, N. D., March 18.—Candc still holds the independent basketball championship of North Dakota and Enderlin is again a good second. The northern Legionnaires successfully ° defended their crown here Saturday night, 26 to 18, through the play of five men well coordinated in their efforts. Cecil Williams and Bob Atkins shared the winners point gaining honors with seven and six respective- ly, while Alex Currie, captain, and guard, acquitted himself admirably. Individual honors in the contest all belonged to Peg O'Neil, Enderlin’s long, agile center, who scored 12 of his team’s 18 points. Siegel’s two sen- sational baskets were the major scor- ing efforts of the losers in the second half. Siegel tossed two shots in while traveling headon away from the bas- ket in midcourt. A packed house saw the contest and officials pronounced the tourney a financial success. Tonight's contest was a repetition of last year’s cham- Pionship event only Cando came to Enderlin this year to win whereas the Red Devils took a beating at the Legionnaires’ home town last season. Enderlin went into an early lead and held it for nearly the entire first Period only to fall behind at the quar- ter, 7 to 6. Cando stretched its mar- gin, and with the fine play of Cecil Williams and Bob Atkins, held a 17 to 12 lead at half. O'Neil, Enderlin cen- ter, got into action in the first min- utes ‘of the game and caged three baskets in short order one from long range and two from under the net. Cando’s play was more a unit and individual play was missing. The sum- mary: Enderlin (18) FG FT PF Hutchinson, f r) E. Seigel, f .
