The Tigers worked two hours to-
day in warm sunshine in preparation
for the Cub series, but the principal
developments were on the Selective
Service front. Don Ross, handy man
infielder-outfielder who is expected
to open the American League season
as Detroit's right fielder, disclosed
that his Arcadia, Calif., draft board
had accepted him for limited service.
Ross has a hernia.
Ross may be available for some
time, thus giving the Tigers an out-
field that appears reasonably certain
to remain intact. Jimmy Outlaw in
left field is 4-F and Roger Cramer
in center field will be 38 in July.
Meanwhile, Rudy York made ar-
rangements to take his pre-induction
physical examination in Evansville,
probably before the squad breaks
camp April 11. He had been ordered
to take the examination Monday at
Cartersville, Ga.
Pitcher Joe Orrel, who finished
last season at Detroit following his
purchase from Portland of the Pacif-
ic Coast League, likewise arranged
to take his draft examination hero.
Orrell arrived today from National
City, Calif., where he was reclassified
1-A. He worked last winter in a
foundry and reported at 185 pounds
some 25 pounds lighter than in 1943.
Hal Newhouser, Zeb Eaton and
Joe Mare will pitch against the Cubs
tomorrow. Newhouser looked good in
three innings against the White Sox
although an error let in three runs.
Eaton, former Texas Leaguer who
received a medical discharge from
the Army, and Mare, trying to make
a comeback at 33, are making their
first exhibition starts. Both are
righthanders.
The Cubs will start Hank Wyse, Ed
Hanyzewski and Johnny Burrows on
the mound. Paul Derringer, who beat
Detroit in the deciding game of the
1940 World Series, will hurl for Chi-
cago along with Paul Erickson and
Bill Fleming Sunday when the Tigers
will use Elon Hogsett, Paul Trout and
Frank Overmire.
Manager Steve O'Neill has rein-
forced the Tiger lineup with Roger
Cramer, Don Heffner and Ross who
are appearing for the first time. The
batting order: Cramer, cf; Heffner,
2b; Outlaw, f; York, lb; Eddie Mayo,
ss; Ross, rf; Edward (Red) Borom,
or Joe Wood, 3b; Bob Swift or James
(Hack) Miller, c.
In today's drill, O'Neill worked be-
hind the plate in batting practice and
was particularly impressed by pitcher
Ruffus Gentry. who arrived belatedly
a week ago.
'He showed me plenty of stuff and
speed," said O'Neill, "and he may
be ready to pitch against the Pitts-
burgh Pirates next week."
La Motta Decisions
Woods in 10 Rounds
CHICAGO, March 31.--(P)-Jackie
La Motta, the one-man riot from the
Bronx, registered his tenth successive
victory in the last nine months by
beating Sgt. Lou Woods, Camp
Grant, Ill., in a blstering ten round
battle in the Chicago Stadium.
The verdict, however, was split
with Referee Walter Brightmore and
one judge voting for La Motta, while
the other judge ballotted for Woods.

first round parade in the $6,666
Knoxville Open Golf Tournament to-
day but a drove of darkhorses and at
least one well-known shotmaker were
dogging his putts.
McSpaden, who won the pro-ama-

ord-tying 63 on the par 70 municipal
course, was three strokes over that
form today. Trailing him with a 67

Tied for third with 68's were Craig

champion, Tonny Penna of Dayton,
and another outsider, Dave Clark of
Houston, Tex.
Toledo's "Lord" Byron Nelson, for-
mer National Open and Masters
Champion who has been chosen most
likely to give McSpaden a race, fired
a 69 to tie for fourth with Bob
Hamilton of Evansville, Ind. Six
players, including Sammy Byrd of
Philadelphia, were bunched at 70.
The others were George Low, Clear-

McSpaden was in fine form with
his putts, sinking 10, 8, 12 and 10-
footers on the front line and another
10-footer on the back side. His ap-
proach shots were excellent. Wood

Martin, Michigan's ex-diving champ,
led Charlie Batterman by one point
right up to the final dive. That last
dive told the tale, however, as
T-Bone tried a complicated dive
which could only end up in his get-
ting lost in mid-air. No one could
know where he was going in such a
dive, and T-Bone was no exception.
He got lost!

later on, a swimming race by three
young Ann Arbor girls. Local color,
