Tighe Asserts Tiger lineup kA || Settled— LAKELAND, Fla. (UP) — The Detroit Tigers thus far this spring haven’t lived up to their advance billing as the most improved team in the American League. But their freshman manager. Jack TlJ'he. isn’t worried. “I’ve gone all out to win, but I’ve been experimenting a lot,” Tighe explains. “Now I'm ready to go with a set lineup and the team should start to roll.” The 1956 Tigers never did get going until affer the AH - Star Game. From that point they played the best percentage ball in the league and went on to become the only club to beat the pennant-win-ning Yankees in a season's series. But they still finished fifth — 15 games out of first place. Tighe sajd that barring injuries or other unforeseen developments, he will start the season with Ray Boone at first, Frank Bolling at second, Harvey Kuenn at short and Jim Finegan at third; Charley Maxwell in left, BUI Tuttle in center and Al Kaline in right. More Than Satisfied Boone’s conversion into a first baseman has more than satisfied the plain - speaking Tighe and the success of the experiment means that he wiU have to let go one of two veterans — Ed Robinson or Earl Torgeson. Bolling won the second base job “because of his hitting.” Tfiit means that Jack Dittmar, the exBrave, wiU be in reserve at that spot. Reno Bertoia, with his two bonus seasons behind him, also will stay with the club as a replacement for Finigan. If both should falter at third, Tighe always can move Boone back there. Just in case that becomes necessary, he probably will keep the veteran Jack Phillips in a utility role. Behind his starting outfield trio he will have Jim Small, a bonus player, who hit. .319 in 58 games with the Tigers last season and either J. W. Porter or Mel Clark, the ex-Phillie. Share Catching Duties Frank House and Red Wilson will share the catching burden. Rookie Charles Lau, up from Charleston where he hit .258, probably will be sent down to the minors for another year unless the Indians or Orioles are successful in their attempts to get House. •’ Frank Lary, (21-13); Billy Hoeft (20-14), and Paul. Foytack (15-W wUI anchor the pitching staff. Three youngsters are leading the parade for the fourth regular pitching spot — Jim Bunting, who won five while losing one when tile Tigers called him up late last Reason from Charleston; Duane Maas, whom Tighe believes is much Improved over his 0-7 record' with Detroit last year; and rookie Don Lee, the son of the ex-White Sox and Indian hurter, Thornton Lee. Tighe is especially high on Lae, Whichever two of the three do not make the starting rotation will be in the bullpen. Steve Gromek. will be a spot starter and reliever while the other hurlers will be Al Aber, John Crimian, Harold Woodschick, a 12-game winner with Charleston; and Jim Brady, ' a bonus player whom the Tigers have to keep until June. ■ 4*' Bowling Scores Mixed Doubles B.

Power Mower Plunges In Pool, Man Dies MIAMI (UP) — Authorities said today that a 70-year-old yardman was killed when a power mower plunged into the deep end of a home swimming pool. Police said William Allen either died from drowning or of a heart attack. ’BOYCOTT (Coßttaf< from P«K« O«e> ' James C. Hagerty reserved comment and seemed to wish he had not heard about the incident. The National Safety Council and the American Automobile Association took the same position. The attitude of police officials has changed little since the automobile replaced the horse in the White House stable. Local traffic officers depend on Secret Service agents moving with a President to see to his safety — and they do. But the federal agents can’t do much for the press and picture ' cars careening along at the. tail of the caravan.

Roberts Hurls Full Game As Phillies WBy UNITED PRESS Robjn Roberts is ready for his eighth straight opening day assignment and a season that’ll show whether he's still one of baseball’s super stars. The powerful right-hander demonstrated that Friday when he became the first Philadelphia Phillies’ pitcher to go nine innings enroute to a 5-4 triumph over the Chicago White Sox. Roberts held the White Spx to seven hits and was in trouble only in the fourth inning when two singles, a walk and Sherman Lollar’s homer produced all their runs.

Isaac Logart Wins Against Gil Turner JJEW YORK (IP) — Welterweight ®ntender Isaac Logart, who licked Gil Turner again Friday night,, accepted a “rubber match" with MexTcah - ’ luctantly and conditionally. Cuban Logart insisted that his ! unanimous decision over Philadel- ■ phia'i Turner in their return TV 1 bout at Madison Square Garden f had earned him a title shot with champion Carmen Basilio. “It was Ike’s 12th win in his Z last 13 fights," explained Man- ’ ager Eddie Mafuz, "and we’re of- ’ sering Basilio a guarantee of $50.- ' 000 for a defense; but matchmaker Billy Brown says Basilio isn’t available.
