It was adopted as an amendment amend-ment to the 419,000,000,000 supplemental sup-plemental war funds bill, which Is slated to go to the senate floor Monday.

By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent LAKELANT, FUx, April 4 (US) The Detroit Tigers' who came wery close to winning the world's championship in 1940, have come down faster than a skyrocket goes up. They've lost their punch and most of their stars are in the army or scattered elsewhere. What's more, the remaining Tigers aren't the most satisfied group of ball players in the circuit. cir-cuit. Jack Zeller, taking over command of the Tigers when Owner Walter O. Briggs turned his entire attention to making tanks, slashed the Detroit payroll. pay-roll. None of the boys liked it but some of them didn't yell as loud as Bobo Newsom or holdout as adamantly as Bill Sullivan, both of Whom have gone elsewhere. When Zeller cut about $20,000 of Newsom's salary, Ol Bobo stormed and yelled until the Tigers Tig-ers sold him to the Senators. Sullivan came very close to quitting quit-ting baseball before he was sold to Brooklyn. Rudy York had his salary cut 50 per cent to $9,000 and signed under protest. Only one Tiger received a raise Al Benton, who started out last season sea-son as a relief pitcher and wound up Detroit's best moundsman with a record of 15 and 6. Besides being an unhappy ball club, the Tigers are slow afoot,. have little power and only a fair defense. Pitching is probably the strongest thing about a thoroughly thorough-ly jumbled up outfit which will have to pull a lot of surprises to stay out of second division. A stronger1 club undoubtedly could be built around the plavers the Tigers no longer have Hank Greenberg, Pat Mullin, Freday Hutchinson and Bob Uhle (all in the service), Newsom, Sullivan, Bruce Campbell and Frankie Croucher (the latter two traded to Washington). The Tigers' infield may be some improvement over last year's unit although it's lacking in speed. York is slow at first and Pinky Higgins at third isn't as spry as he once was. Jimmy Bloodworth, obtained from the Senators to play second, is no speed marvel. Billy Hitchcock, rookie shortstop who was bought from the Yanks' Kansas City farm club for $40,- 000 and two players, looks like he'll help defensively but he hasn't shown anything at the plate. Murray Franklin, a teammate team-mate of Lou Boudreau's at Illinois, Illin-ois, will be the No. 1 utility in-f in-f ielder unless he can crowd Blood-worth Blood-worth out of the second-base job. Detroit's outfield is a far cry from thpse hard-hitting combinations combina-tions of other years. Barney Mc-Cosky Mc-Cosky will patrol left and Doc Cramer, 35-year-old veteran third baseman who hit .310 at Montreal, Mon-treal, has the inside track on the right field job. Rip Radcliff and either Ned Harris or Bob Patrick will be the reserves. The Tigers have three bright rookie pitchers in Charley Fuchs, Hal White and Virgil (Fire) Trucks, all right-handers from Buffalo. They'll all stick. Roy Henshaw, the little lefty who formerly for-merly was with the Cubs, also is likely to hang on after winning 13 games at Jersey City. Al Benton will again pace the staff with Dizzy Trout, Tommy Bridges, Schoolboy Rowe, Johnny Corsica and Hal Newhouser, the young southpaw, also in starting roles. If Newhouser can master his control he should be a winner. win-ner. Birdie Tebbetts will do the bulk of the catching with Ed Parsons, who hit .224 for Buffalo the second-stringer and Al Unaer, picked up. from Beaumont after Sullivan's sale, the bull-pen receiver. re-ceiver.

Johnston was a seasoned featherweight feath-erweight when one look at young Terrible Terry McGovern made a manager of the Boy Bandit, which in addition to giving you a rough Idea of his age proves that he was bitten by a fox early in Ufe. Although he has been around longer "than he" cares to remember, remem-ber, Jimmy Johrston was the first man in the ring at the bell while Pvt. Joseph Louis Barrow was dumping Abraham Simon like an ashcart in the Garden battle pit. It strikes me that the boxing writers muffed the real story of the Simon-Louis sticking. Picking up Abe Simon was the greatest engineering feat since the construction con-struction of the Panama Canal. Along this line, it is suggested that in the future rings reinforced to stand the strain of the fall of a giant feUed by Private Louis be equipped with a derrick. One of these nights Louis is going to chop down a huge -redwood and they're going to have to leave him there until the necessary hoisting apparatus is installed. They're not always going to have hands as skillful at transporting hammered hulks as are Johnston and his brother, Ned, and Freddie Brown, who made all 6 feet 4 and 255 pounds of Simon appear as light as aluminum. The Johnstons and Brown, little men, employed the technique of Ray Arcel, who has lugged 11 hulks slugged by Ebuis to their corners. Arcel was a frail chap when he started, but developed devel-oped such form and strength in his arms retrieving considerably more than a ton of Louis targets that now he has but to slip his right around say the 245-pound 245-pound Buddy Baer and up he conies.

Mrs. Leslie, who said a prison sentence would "be the death" of her husband because he is not well, clutched his hand tightly as Judge Wl Lynn Parkinson imposed sentence. sen-tence. She was convicted early this week of lashing Miss Constance Con-stance Davis with a Boy Scout belt after the teacher had tapped Danny Leslie on the head with a copy of "Treasury of Life and BRIGHTEN UP YOUR HOME UITII WALLPAPER Patterns are more charming than ever before, and prices are still low!

That relieved Simon's handlers of the transportation problem, and it was a comparatively easy trick for sucn experienced plckeruppers to get the stool under their behemoth. It was the knockdown that ended end-ed Round 2 that gave the Johnstons Johns-tons and Brown an opportunity to demonstrate their finesse. They had to go out and get Simon, who, spread out, covers so much ring space that rescue workers are left little leg room. Johnston never gets out of a ring as fast as he gets in one, however, ; and Louis had Simon wallowing in the resin before the Old Boy Bandit could look back and up at the start of Round 6. When Johnston heard the crash of Simon again hitting the deck, there was the screech of burning shoe leather as he put on the brakes to do the fastest about face since the last time the Italians came out in Libya. ( Johnston wasn't exactly sure what transpired but, an old hand in this business, force of habit and an immediate reflex caused him to shout: "What has happened ? Whatever it was, the referee's wrong. We wuz robbed!" By now, Square Guy Johnston has convinced himself, and in no time at all will convince everybody every-body else that all that can save the honor of boxing, Joe Louis, Mike Jacobs and the 20th Century Sporting club, as welf as American Amer-ican patriotism and the spirit of fair play, is a return match.
