THURSDAY, APRIL 3, 1924. - (BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS). The arrival of Emory (Topper) Rigney, sensational shortstop, at the Detroit Tigers’ training camp, with the announcement that the hip ailment, which threatened to him out of the game, has been removed, was pleas- received by Manager Cobb and his players alike.
