J Allle Taylor, old-time Bend Johnny Groth New Sensation For Detroiters ' New York, April 21 UTi The Detroit Tigers are trying to treat centerfielder Johnny Groth as just another human being but the kid is making it impossible. He simply insists on being a phenomenon. The rookie snatched up from Chicago's sandlots was labeled as a "can't miss" star, perhaps an other Joe DiMaggio or a Tris Speaker, more than two years ago. But Tiger general manager Billy Evans and Wish Egan, the- veteran scout wno discovered him, polished him slowly and painstakingly on minor league diamonds. Has Arrived Today, it seems, he definitely has arrived. In just two games the likeable 23-year-old has hit three homers including a bases loaded smash yesterday which gave the Tigers a 5 to 2 victory over the White Sox at Detroit. He accounted for all of Detroit's runs, also getting a double and single as Virgil Trucks turned in a four-hit pitching job. In the opener he hit two hom ers, giving him seven runs bat ted in for two days. Tommy Henrich of the Yan kees also used home runs for the second day in a row as a spring board to victory. Henrich's homer yesterday started Vic Raschi off to a three-hit, 3 to 0 victory over the Senators at New York. Come From Behind .The Indians came from behind to defeat the Browns, 7 to 3. at St. Louis although Bob Lemon was tagged for homers by Dick Kokos and Jack Graham. The Athletics made it two in a row over the Red Sox when Sam Chapman singled home the winning run in the ninth in a 3 to 2 decision. Doubles by Tommy Holmes and Phil Masi in the eighth gave the Braves the two runs they needed to beat the Phils, 6 to 5, at Boston. TheDodgers got four unearned runs as the Giants made four er rors in a 6 to 2 Brooklyn decision on f5ur hits at" Ebbets field. Young Bob Rush gave up only three singles at Chicago in shut ting out the Pirates, 4 to 0. He also struck out seven batters. Cincinnati and St; Louis had an open date in the National. Kenwood Assured Of 1st Place Tie Grade School Softball Uini Standlncs W. L. Pet. Kenwood 4 0 1.000 Allen 1 2 .333 St. Francis 1 2 .333 Hearklttens 1 3 .260 Kenwood assured itself of at least a tie for the softball title in the local grade school circuit by turning back the 8th grade Bear kittens by a 12 to 7 count on Troy laundry field yesterday after school. Behind the steady pitch ing of veteran Tom Ray the West Siders overcame an early Bear kitten lead to go ahead and hold onto a comfortable margin of vic tory. The Allen-St. Francis clash, which had been slated for the same time, was postponed by St. Francis. This clash will decide the second place spot in the league race. With two-thirds of the -schedule played the Yellowjackets from Kenwood could lose their two remaining games and still do no worse than a tie. On the basis of their showing to date It is probable that they will win at least one more game to give them their first title in any sport since formation of the league. If the West Siders do come through to clinch the softball crown and do well in track they could be right in the middle of the running for the Snoop and Schulze award held this year by St. Francis and Allen jointly. fighter, will be the third man In the ring, with J.
