Bill Cissell And Shires Are Benched Blackburne Reads Riot Act When White Sox Go in for Fort Worth, March 30. (A. Manager "Lena" Blackburne of the White Sox today revealed he had benched Bill Cissell, 1123,000 shortstop, and Art Shires, first baseman and acting captain, for breaking training rules and "raising whoopee." The action was forced upon him, Blackburne said, after several days of carelessness by the two stars. "This is just a warning," the dynamic manager said. "The next time I catch any.of my men breaking training, there will be a long suspension without pay and a S100 fine.

I'm running this ball club and we are here to work." Blackburne said he has noticed apparent laxity on the part of many of his men recently, many of them grumbling and loafing. "If I can't get harmony from you," he lectured, "I'll get players who are willing to fight and harmonise." Charlotte, N. High school will hold the second annual South Atlantic Invitational interscholastio golf tournament on April 27. Whig lung waj iu ouu Liicie IS HOD00V in Florida to tell the truth, or because it has been a habit in recent years to make rosy predictions the Detroit entry, the American league clubs training in Florida, the grapefruit league sector, are displaying more interest than is war-ranted In Bucky Harris' gang. As one gads about the land i scrub palmetto meeting good atli.

letes who will be around later nrv some who will be elsewhere later, It Is an every-day occurence to m-counter the opinion that "Detroit is going to be pretty good this year toucn expressions naturally nn questioned, and in the course of the questioning you learn that the lone excuse for the optimism is Harris is the Tiger leader. Remains Hero. It is apparent that Harris as a manager stands high not only among the mill run of players but also among the stars and even ths rival pilots. The impression prevails that the ex-manager of the Washington troops is a natural lead er who can lead without irritating. This Idea sprang up in 1924 when the boylike Bucky sent the Senators galloping into a world champion ship and was perpetuated when he rollowed with a pennant In 192:.

Later he didn't do. quite so well, at least Owner Griffith thought so and gave him his papers, but with the. rank and file Harris remains the little hero who can't go wrong. The Harris boosters undoubtedly are sincere, but there are things about Bucky's present situation that are more weighty than past performances. For one thing, Harris enjoyed his greatest successes when he was on the ball field playing every day.

and age now had taken from him the ability that made him good enough for regular work. Obstacles Confront Him. It will be recalled that Eddie Col lins managed capably while playing with the Chicago White Sox, but fell down when he tried to lead from the bench. Another Item to consider is that Harris is not going to have a whale of a team unless unexpected help develops. What Harris is going to need Is a quantity of pitching strength.

For years pitching has been a chronic weakness of Detroit teams. The hitters always were there, but not the hurlers To heal up this old wound it will be necessary for George Ulile to come back and pitch as he did when at the top of his career with the Indians. There is reason to suspect he can't do tris. And even If I'hle Is able to work regularly, he will have to be surrounded by at least three others good enough to take a turn and two or three more who can fill in occasionally. This is a large order, but If Hsrrls can fill it his team may finish in the first division, which Is where the grapefruit league boosters now are trying to put It.

if i PROVES HIS WORTH Last year, this Pacific Coast Lesgua product ranked Number 3 on the Tigers' catching staff with Larry Woodall and "Red" Hargrave doing the bulk of the receiving duty. This year, Shea, thanks chiefly to his robust hitting, virtually has been assigned the first string job behind the bat by Manager Stanley Harris. His slugging in the training trip has been consistently heavy and included a bevy of home runs. ts i a. I PIN LEADERS RETAIN PLACES Week's Play Fails to Oust First Six Men in Stakes Event.

Cardella Turns in Best Score as Ralston Forges Ahead of Gilboe. With only two more weeks of competition remaining, leaders in the Greater Detroit bowling sweep stakes made a strong defense of their positions in last week's play at the Garden alleys. All succeeded In retaining their places In the standings with the exception of John Gilboe, who was ousted from seventh place by Harry Ralston. Fred Gardella turned In the best performance of the week, leading the scoring with a mark of 1,446 after a riotous session on the alleys in which he made 19 consecutive strikes and missed a perfect game by a single point. second honors went to Joe Serib- turned in a mark of 1.S64 Scribner, leader In the race almost since the start, has a firm hold on first place with a total of 889 points and an average of 224.

Ernie Hartman, runner up in ths season play, made his position more secure by hitttng 1.S3S for the six games to take third honors for the week. He is 40 points ahead of Gardella, who is in third placs with a point score of 763. A. Rodgers and Cass Crygier were the other bowlers who hit in the 1,300 class last week, dropping the pins for scores of 1,324 and 1,305 respectively. Ave 22 217 217 211 111 sii ve 2dn Vl I'll SKI I'.

WANER SPURNS BID TO DISCUSS TERMS GLENN WRIGHT JOINS ROBINS West Palm Beach, March 30. Glenn Wright, shortstop, obtained by the Brooklyn Robins In a trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates for Jess Petty, has rejoined the club but still has to prove his worth as a capable lnflelder, Uncle Wllbert Robinson, manager of the Dodgers, said today.

Dr. Cecil Ferguson, former Giant pitcher, now an expert on sore arms, has pronounced Wright fit to take over the signal calling. Of the yearling backs, Stoll looks the best, boti as a passer and as a kicker. He is a product of Ann Arbor high school. Priaf-t, a husky, driving back from Battle Creek, is another man who is being carefully looked over as a prospect for the 1929 varsity.

I left ton to IV Tested. Then there is young Willie Heston, son of Michigan's wonder halfback of the same name, who is a halfback hopeful. Willie, the recipient of much advance press agentlng as the young man following in his father's footsteps, has been able to live through that handicap thus far, establishing a fine record both at Detroit Northwestern and at Manilas. He did not come out for the "frosh" team last fall, devoting his lime to the books, and as a result the roaches do not as yet have as good a line on him as they have on most of the others. So far, however, the "son" looks good, but his tests will come later on in the spring and again next fall.

A A surprise punting prospect has appeared in Leo Draveling. regular end last year. The 200-pound flank-man has a world of power in his foot, but is not consistent. One night in practice he got off four or five kicks better than 70 yards from the line of scrimmage, with but. a slight wind at his bac.

The trouble; however. Is that this only happens once in every four or 8ve tries, the other kicks going more or less straight up or off to one side. If Draveling can be aeyeiopea Into' a consistent man, he will no doubt take over part of the punt ing as well as kicking off some. Practice to Start April 15. Regular spring practice will start on Monday.

April 13, tne aay scnooi reopens auer vacation, ai time. Coach Wieman expects between 100 and 150 men to respond to the call and start preparations for the 1929 football campagtn. The big hole to fill will be at tackle, veterans being lost on both sides of the line at that position. No longer will Michigan fans be treated to the great all-around work of Otto Pommerening, nor will they be able to watch "number 50" go down under punts. New men will be stationed inside a pair of veteran flankers.

A tentative plan called for shifting Draveling from end to tackle, but this does not seem likely, since it Is thought there will be more material for tackle than for end. So, Captain Joe Truskowski and Draveling seem slated for ends, with Hewitt, a "frosh," in reserve. Among the tackle prospects are P.oach and Hayden last year's "frosh" eleven, and Auer, who was Ineligible. Veterans are lift for the center trio in Poe and Steinke, guards, and Bovard. center.

Rich is the only member of the regular backfield who will be lost, Dahlem, Oembis and Simrall remaining. With some half a dozen good looking new men as prospects and several fine reserves back, the problem seems be more in choosing than in being able to find men.

I don't see why we didn't think of it sooner," was Coach George Veen-ker's way of expressing his satisfaction with ths results of spring basketball which was Inaugurated In the intramural building several weeks ago. With a small group eompoued almost wholly of new men, Veenker has been drilling on fundamentals and laying the foundation for next year's court squad.

Most of the work has been with half a dozen men. split evenly on both offense and defense. Daniels, Priest and Weiss list as forwards, while Garner, Jennett and Jones are guards. Priest did not work out for the "frosh" team, but came to Michigan with a reputation for his high school court work, so Veenker has been taking Inventory. With both Orwig and Truskowski back for forward duty and Chapman at center, Jones has been shifted from center to guard for better balancing of the material.

Daniels and Priest are already out for spring football work and will be joined by Jones following spring vacation.

March 3n Adrian high school will open its baseball sched ule on April 2S at Hudson, where it will meet the Hudson high school.

Five Southeastern league teams have been booked and the schedule, now partially complete, probably will list at least 10 games. Under Coach Reid O. Luse, prac tice has been under way for a fortnight but began in earnest this week when activities were shifted outdoors to the city park diamond.

to dawn on him. But deep rooted In the heart of the gentlemanly Bengal leader is the determination to avoid Interference with bis success as manager of the Tigers by the whims of a certain element on the roster of the club. Fines and suspensions won't serve the purpose in the same measure that summary expulsion from the line-up will. That plan Is fixed in Harris' mind and due warning has bten served on the men and whom the shoe fits to take it or leave it Eventually the situation might work itself out to the best interests of the club as a whole. One good rolllrking time doesn't presage a chronic state of those affairs, but it did bring Manager Harris face to face with a problem that he wasn't quite certain of how to settle it, but he is now.

Hm Declared Himself. Harris already has declared him self on that point, and since he re gards the case as one wherein he must protect his own Immediate fu- ure that is going to be measured by achievement the limit to which he Tutor can flout training rules will be drawn closer hereafter. Detroit's baseball salvation is In the hands of Harris for at least one year. Nobody realizes this fact any mora than Harris himself, who is sincere In his effort to, not only give the patrons of Navin field a winner they so richly deserve, but to preserve his own reputation as a manager. Potentially the Tigers are 20 per cent strorsfer than they were last year, but not the infield shapes present The return of Heil- mann to bate, where he is bet- ter qualified to play than Alexander.

Harries appearance at second base and the shifting of Oehringer to shortstop will bolster the club in its one glaring weak spot And the theory that results of exhibition games do not mean anything still can be accepted as correct or otherwise.
