After two lean vears. In which he!
experimented right and left and
practically rebuilt from; the ground
up. 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. Charlie

GABBY STREET
NOT WORRIED
ABOUT CARDS
ST. 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."

: (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.

Tommy Connelf when he negoti
ated the 1320 yards in 3 minutes,
