PORTS TIGERS BIC FIRST BASEMAN MAKING GOOD DESPITE SIZE o] - [ They were counting out Dale Alexander because first basemen of his physical proportions start out with a two-strike handicap. Dale apparently is ably to survive the handicap. By JAY R. VESSELS i (A. P. Sports Writer) | DETROIT, April 30.—Dale Alex- | ander is proving that he is more | than merely the biggest first basc-f man in the major leagu | This six feet, three-inch giant,| weighing 215 pounds, struck the majority of the spring training, critics as being too big to stick/ notwithstanding that he hits line| drives to distant fences. But Big Dale is showing them where they were wrong. He prov- ed that he could go after a ground- er without cracking up and did it 50 convincingly that he won out in a tri-cornered struggle for the regu- lar first sack job with the Tigers. Meanwhile his mighty bat has been connecting consistently bring- ing himself the rating of a cleanup hitter who brines in those runs. Alexander siugged out a Smok- ing pace for the International league crowd last year. He won't set the pace in the American. Such men as Goslin, Manush, and Geh- rig will sce to that, but the big boy from Toronto seems due to bang the boards often enough to make him favorite around the circuit. Bucky Harris has induced Dale to shorten his swing. The Tiger manager figures this will improve his hitting. Those who remember the stout one for his performances in the small leagues down south have reasons of their own for the change. ---- main one is that a shorter swing will save uniforms for the ‘Tigers.
