Manager Bucky Harris appears at last to have a pretty slick com bination at Detroit. Tied with Washington for tho leadership of the American league after winning five of their first seven starts at home, the Tigers easily qualify as tho sensations of the early going. It is doubtful if even Harris expects them to stay at the top but, even so, the former "boy manager" can report progress. So fur the Tigers have enjoyed the finest pitching In either league from Earl Whitehill. Vic Sorrell, George Uhle and Whitlow Wyatt. and their hitting has been both hard and time Iy. One of their two defeats last j week was charged to Sorrell, and on a I day when he allowed the St. Louis Browns only three hits. Rlghtriclder Roy Johnson has sup plied tho big batting punch so far with 14 hits Ire 32 trips for on aver age of .438, but the club has been hitting right down the line.

LOUIS, Apr. 20 (P) Despite a left-footed start which saw his world champion Cardinals lose four straight games in the first week of the sea son, giving them undisputed pos session of seventh place, Sergeant Gabby Street Is convinced his team Is still "fundamentally sound." "No one expects the teams that started in the first division of the National league to stay there' Street asserted as -the Cards departed on their first road trip. Although he didn't say it in so many words, It was also apparent the sergeant hardly expected his boys to maintain their almost unprece dented percentage of .333. -Never since street took over the reins have tho Redbirds ranked so low in the list. "Position in the race at this stage doesn't mean anything," Street opined. , "Wo have tho pitching, our team has the punch and we have proved In more than one stiff pennant race that we have the heart." Although fans may have forgot ten it, Gabby pointed out the Car- 1 cTInals have had losing streaks be fore, only to come back with a win ning streak for every string of de feats. Gabby, remembering, says: "My confidence in the Cardinals is unshaken." Iceland Holds Record Since 1H00 A. D. Iceland has ex cceded nil other regions In the out put of Invo from its volcanoes.

Gould : (Associated Press Sports Editor) Let's hope the temptations of spring do not result in our Olympic hopes of sweeping conquest this year being strewn along the cinder-paths of April, May, June and July, with little left for the grand finale at Los Angeles during the first week of August. So far, and with the outdoor cam paign just getting under way in the balmier sections of tho land, Ameri can youth has been putting on tho most startling track and field show of all time. To the feats of such real stars as Venzke, Spitz, Sexton, Topplno, Eastman and Wykoff havo been added exploits of the most amazing variety by boys whose names meant very little outside their own schools or conferences a few months ago. The pace is bound to be accele rated from now on, especially with the big relay carnivals at Pennsyl vania, Drake and Fresno furnishing Impetus, but it will be well to keep a check-rein on some of the youth ful race horses how at large. None appreciates this any better than the veteran Mike Sweney, who has played a big part in devel oping Geno Venzke Into the coun try's foremost miler. Sweeney, realizing his charge must be prop erly handled to avoid the pitfalls between now and the final Olympic trials in California, has mapped out a careful program of preparation. The temptation to accept too many Invitations, social or athletic, will be avoided. - Word Puzzle 9. Agreeable 0. Outer cover ing 11. Tree of the Sen us euca lyptus 10 Puis out of order 20.

He says: "Thirty-six yenrs ago I witnessed the record-breaking performance of Tommy Connelf when he negoti ated the 1320 yards in 3 minutes, 2 4-5 seconds.
