Archie Chadd's Indian tribe for the first time this year threw into action all their power to battle through the regional over Fortville and Short ridge, showing a defense that smothered the Blue Devil attack, and a high-speed offense that hail been kept under cover throughout the season.

\ ♦ Today’s Sport Parade By’Henry McLemore Lakehind. Fla . Mar 14 4U.R>- ' i The fought struck me, as 1 watch-) |ed him walk off down the street I i to go fishing, that if Mb key Coch j I rune can make his Detroit Tigers; ins tough as his own head the New York Yankees won’t be in the I world series next full Less than a year ago It was 100 ito 1 that Mickey Cochrane's fishing days were over, with th*' possible exception of a little trolling las Charon rowed him across th*' I River Styx. Because less than a I year ago Mickey lay more dead l than alive in a hospital, his head I crushed by one of pitcher Bump ] Hadley's hardest, highest, and fastest ones. But. since then he has seen a few ball games, taken a leisurely trip through Europe, and right now is ' hard at work whipping the Tigers I into shape for another American league campaign. Hi' honestly ‘ looks better than at any time in ’ hisl ife. His weight is right to the chart, he is as brown as an old ; pair of shoes, and he moves with the quick sureness of the perfectI ly conditioned athlete. But he is through playing baseI ball. He has caught his last curve. ' swung at his last knuckler, ran * I his last base. He doesn't trust his i reflexes any more. They came up slow last summer en he faced j Hadley ("1 saw the ball coming. I but I froze right up and couldn't j move out of the way") and he figi tires they wouldn't be any better , now. a i "A triple fracture of the skull i isn’t calculated to sharpen you up any." Mickey told me. I think Mickey has a young man I named York to thank for making I him do the wise* thing retire. I Mickey's will to win is so strong I that if he thought a bit of classy I catching would bring the Tigers j home in front he’d probably risk I his head all over again. But in ' York the Tigers have a chappie ; who can do a bit of classy catch* ] ing. plus a bit of over-the-fence-is- ’ I a-home-run hitting. York set an jail-time record for homers —in-one- * month last year and Cochrane fig- ! tires he'll do ever better this seas- *' I on. "This hitting is no fluke.” Coch- : rane said "Not a bit. You may | not know it. but he is a better ) natural hitter than Hank Greenj berg. And that's saying something.” Somewhere, sometime, while 1 I was on the west coast I read a I story that said Cochrane planned 1 jto use himself at third base, a ] spot that needs filling. 1 asked . I him about this. "I don’t know where any writer cooked that one up. 1 haven't ;| j played third since I left school, i and as badly as we need a third j baseman. we don’t need one badly i enough to get me out there, i Wouldn't I be a pip at third? , | That's no place for an old man j like myself." Billy Rogell probably will do the I third-basing, which leaves the f ; patching staff as Cochrane's only I real concern. As usual, the chief | I interrogation point is that peren--1 nial student. "Schoolboy" Rowe. Detroit can’t give the Yanks a run unless thes "Schoolboy's" shoulder ailment stays as cured as it seems ; to be right now. Last year this time Rowe's arm seemed as sound as could be. Yet lie pitched less than one game all season. Right now it gives him no trouble whatsoever. but Cochrane holds his breath every time the big fellow winds up and lets one go. To win in the American, a team £ has to have pitchers who can whip the Yankees. Rowe is one of those rare souls who can. Bridges | can't. In fact. Bridges hasn't licked the Yanks more than five times ( in all his years in the big leagues. Auker is another who has trouble ■ with the men of New York. The more one talks to Cochrane the more one comes to feel that everything rides on Rowe. (Copyright 1938 by UP.) o La Porte Theater Is Victim Os Thieves Laporte, nld..
