Detroit Hopes To Climb Out Os Last Place LAKELAND, Fla.. UP — Freddie -Hutchinson,, is in the process of rebuilding the Detroit Tigers and his only aim this season, is to climb out of the American league cellar. 1 It might -prove to be a tough task , for there is nothing resembling championship lustre on the - 1953 team. About the only thing -it has to recommend is a pitching potential. Hutchinson realizes it will be at least two years before'Xhe Tigers figure to be.contenders. With that in mind, kis opening day-tlineup; outside of pitching and catching, will feature new faces for not ope of them was with the club at the start of last season. 2.. \ Th,e Tiger pilot hopes to make up In speed and. defense what his club lacks in hitting. For his power; he is counting on Walt Dropo at first base and outfielder .Bob Nieman. They are the only proven - ball hitters on the club. With Gerry Priddy a question mark because of the broken • leg he suffered last season. Owen Friend, one of the host of players the Tigers obtained in a series of deals with the Browns, will\open at second base. a Rookie Harvey Kuenn., who hit .325 in\l9 games with the Tigers at the tail end of last season, will open at short if he recovers from an ankle injury. Otherwise it will ' be the slick fielding, but weak hit\ting Fred Hatfield, normally, a . third baseman. It 'Hatfield takes over at short, it will be one of two veterans, Johnny . Pesky or Billy Hitchcock* at third. In the ! outfield with Nieman will be Ji|m Delsing, and rookie JRuss Sullivan. who hit .327 with the Tigers after being called up from Buffalo late last season. MatLjßatts and Myron Ginsberg will share the catching chores with John Bucha the No. 3 man. With sopthpaw Ted Gray recovering from, a shoulder injury which ’will keep him out for at least the first month of the season, Hutchinson is counting bn tough-_ luck \\ Art Houtteman, 8-20, Ned Garver, 840, Hal Newhouser, 9-9, Bill Hoeft, 2-7, and Ray Herbert, jusi out of service, as his starting pitchers. / ■ RARE ART (Continued Ernm Page Oa»> ney for tfie Northern \ Illinois, from 1934 to 1937.
