Indications point to Jean Dubuc for Salt Lake and Weiser Dell for Vernon in today's game, Billy Orr made the most spectacular play of the week yesterday, when he took Mitchell's high line drive with a leap in the sixth. Harry Sands continues to impress the fans with his manner of playing baseball. base-ball. He Is fielding nicely and is making the opposing pitchers put 'em over before offering. Lefty Leverenz showed his sprinting ability on two occasions yesterday, once when he beat out a bunt and again when lie beat a throw to the plate. The veteran Franz Hosp is playing a nifty second base for the Tigers. 1 Catcher Mike Konnick took an ugly foul tip on the hand yesterday.

The former Salt Iake first sacker the feiiow with the biggest pair of dogs in the wide, wide world, is now in the Chicago City league, holding down If Is old position with the Magnets. If something doesn't happen to give the Seals a first chop outfielder within the next two or three weeks, there will he a first-class fat little secretary, by name George Putnam, and a corking good president, presi-dent, who answers to Dr. Charley Strub, tucked away beneath the daisies and the blue grass. There was a wail yesterday at local baseball headquarters. The waller was the aforesaid secretary and the wailee the baseball writer of the Chronicle. "No news." wailed Putnam. "We're just where we were three or four weeks ago. Course Calvo is coming, but no- body knows when he's going to get here. They tell me the boats leave Cuba on Wednesdays and Fridays, but 1 don't even know that for sure. We cabled him to come just as fast as lie could; v that we needed him pronto. But when will he come? I wish I knew." And the fat little secretary collapsed. Schaller, so they say, simply turns his face to the wall when he's approached. Iriiieed, in their desperation, the owners of the San Francisco club have been to see the shipbuilder half a dozen times of late. But Biff has finally convinced the magnates that he doesn't want to play in their back yard, and, what is more, he's not going to be teased or coaxed. San Francisco Examiner. Will Leo Dressen do as a Tiger? Ask anybody that witnessed the opening open-ing game whether the St. Paul recruit is or isn't the best guardian of the initial corner the Jungaleers ever had. Besides fielding his position perfectly, walking twice and getting two hits in three legal trips to the plate. Dressen didn't do anything toward bringing about Cleveland's downfall. Leo Is as fast as the proverbial bullet, has confidence in his ability, and if he doesn't become a star able critics will be sorely disappointed. Sizing him up with Burn6, late custodian of the first corner for the Tigers, Dressen looks like a million mil-lion dollars. Detroit Dispatch. Del Howard wants the charges that an umpire was responsible for making Eddie Mensor jump to the shipyards probed. Howard declares umpires should tend to their umpiring and that they have enough to do to make people think they are getting away with that job without tampering tam-pering with ball players and luring them from the league that is giving the same umpires their bread and butter. "I wouldn't have Mensor on the ball club now," said Howard. "But I do want to know if any one is tampering with my players. "Mensor sought an excuse to jump Oakland Oak-land and he found a slight one. The season sea-son started April 2 and when he drew his pay check on the 15th lie asked why he did ot get fifteen days' pay. He had drawn his training money for April 15. "Secretary McFarlan suggested that Mensor talk.to me about the matter, and he said he would see me Tuesday, the following day. That day I was out to the clubhouse and the trainer told me that Mensor had turned In his suit, saying that he would not need it for a few days. I told the trainer to lock it up and not give him the unie until I said so. S-ince that Mondav I have not seen Mensor.
