TIGERS 10 - DEPEND O SCHOOLBOY Lynwood Rowe Is Looked Upon as Likely to Be Season’s Winner By DILLON GRAHAM AP Feature Sports Writer LAKELAND, Fla., April 6.—There may be a sweeter ending this time to perhaps the saddest baseball story of last spring, the fruitless comebe struggle of the Detroit Schoolboy It was just a year ago that Lyn- wood Rowe, the Tigers pitcher of 1934-35-36, coax his sore arm back into shape for another fling in the majors. He was game and he tried hard and everyone was pulling for him. But every time he threw the ball there was an ache in his right shoulder. Like a neurotic old woman, he went from one doctor to another. He tried one rubbing liniment after an- trying to other. He even went on wild goose | mysterious dispensers: of Always searching for the elusive salve that might cure his ailment Dozens of x-ray pictures were tak- But doctors couldn't locate the tears to en source of his trouble. “It was just a little spot, about the size of a match-head, at the right shoulder joint,” Rowe explained. But time he raised his arm it hurt. He couldn’t really throw the ball. He was just pushing it up to the plate Bask to Minor League So they finally gave up on the Schoolboy and shipped him off to the minors. He went to Beaumont in the Texas League. “T decided to take it easy down there,” he says. “T resolved not to strain my arm under any condition If I couldn’t win games without |, .title bout straining it, I'd just lose the games Only once during the season did I rare back and put all I had on mj fast ball. T just tried to outsma ‘em with a curve and a change of pace.” And the records show how well he did. He won 12 games and lost only two. And his control was so good | he considered Al Hostak, of Seattle, | that he walked only 13 men all season. Now he's back with the Tigers with a club that has strengthened itself for a serious assault on the New York Yankees. And he knows that the Tigers' pennant hopes de- pend largely on his pitching and on that of the kid rookie, Fred Hutchinson from Seattle. “My arm hasn't hurt at all this spring,” he says. “Last year I was just pushing the ball up to the plate. Now I'm throwing it. And I've got with the Tigers, either. But I hope that my arm grown strong enough so that early in the season I can stari putting some speed on the ball.
