ICKEY COCHRANE, manager of the Detroit Tigers, will take a squad of 34 players to the Lakeland (Fla.) training camp and eight rookies figure in the Bengals’ mound hopes, including Lefty Bob Logan and Paul Trout, purchased from the Indianapolis Indians. . . . Detroit baseball observers think Logan's record is impressive and predict he'll make the big league grade. . . . He's there on trial, however, but the Trout deal was an outright purchase. . . . Logan won 16 games and lost nine for the Hoosiers last year and had an earned-run allowance of 3.82, which is better than fair. ... And in Trout's size-up, the Tiger scouts and club chiefs believe the big fellow is a better pitcher than his record with Indianapolis reveals. . . . He won eight games and lost seven, but was just one year away from high school when he joined the Tribe last spring.

The Times-Legion Golden Gloves boxing show at the local Armory tonight is a bargain. . . . Ticket prices are $1 for reserved seats and 50 cents general adpission. . . . The amateurs usually deliver the goods frem bell to bell and there will be continuous fighting from 7:45 until 11:00 or later. ... T'wenty-five to 30 bouts are to be run off. ... And the sports goers will be helping the distressed. . . . Sixty per cent of the net receipts will be donated for flood relief by the Bruce Robison Post of the American Legion and the remaining 40 per cent will be set aside for The Times’ Clothe-A-Child fund.

Butler Drops Slow Contest To Franklin

Bulldogs Fail to Hit From Foul Line in Eight Out Of Nine Tries.

Butler's luckless basketeers were wondering today just how long a jinx is supposed to last as they sought to recover from a 30-27 defeat handed them last night by a fighting Franklin five at the local fieldhouse. The Baptists, hit hard during the last week by a lack of practice, came from behind and displayed a tight defense to hold the three-point lead they secured in the closing minutes of the game. The contest was slow and listiess and much more uninteresting than the score would tend to indicate. The Bulldogs were definitely off on

out of nine attempts. Franklin made 10 out of 18. Butler outscored the

Baptists on field goals, 13-10. During the first half Homer Mc-~ Cracken kept Franklin in the run-

{ ning with four field goals and three | Bill Geyer, with four |

free throws. field goals was best for Butler. Houghland started the Franklin rally by sinking a field goal early in the second half after the Bulldogs had led, 15-14. Butler pulled away and was ahead 27-21 when the final Franklin spurt came. Merrill, Butler center, was forced out on personals and the Grizzlies grabbed the tip-off consistently during the latter part of the game. This enabled them to crawl ahead and then, with a stiffened defense, to hold the Butler five scoreless until the final gun.
