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.

( P)- Philadelphia's Harold (Jug) McSpaden, gallery favorite, led the 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- teur warm up yesterday with a rec- ord-tying 63 on the par 70 municipal course, was three strokes over that form today. Trailing him with a 67 was Jimmy Johnson of Detroit, a rank outsider. Tied for third with 68's were Craig kWood, the duration open national 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- water, Fla., Nathan Smith, Chatta- nooga, Tenn., Joe Zarhardt, Norris- town, Pa., George McAlister, Dur- ham, N.C., and Joe Taylor, .lohnson City, Tenn. 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 and Byrd were firing well and gal- leryites were attentive as the bond tourney sponsors abruptly raised the prize money to the odd $6,666 figure. Two well known linksmen, Jimmy Hines of Amsterdam, N.Y., and thme veteran Johnny Revolta, Evanston, Ind., were well back with 71's, shar- ing that spot with Ott Willowett of Detroit. 4')- I ssist ley- cago the )nal om- ying phy onal ,; ianapolis, fourth; John McCarthy, Michigan, fifth; time 3.23.0. 400 Yard Free Style Relay Won by Great Lakes (B.

The crowd wasn't what it will be tonight, but then, the Navy had to leave before the relay was begun, and the 100-yard event, easily the attrac- tion of the meet, is scheduled for tonight. Matt Mann, during the course of the evening, let it be known that there are no tickets for sale for Saturday night's event, and standing room only for Saturday afternoon. at two-bits a throw. The diving almost saw a new na- tional champion crowned, as T-Bone 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! Between halves, so to speak, there was an exhibition of precision swim- ming by two girls from Chicago, and later on, a swimming race by three young Ann Arbor girls. Local color, and the new champ was given a medal.
