WITH EARLY FORM
Bucky Harris Reaping Re
ward After Lean Years
Pitching Potent Factor in
Rise to Leage Leadership
By Gayle Talbot,
(Associated Press Sports Writer.)
After two lean years, In which he
experimented right and left and prac
tically rebult from the ground up.
Manager Bucky Harris apears at last
to have a pretty slick combination at
Detroit.
Tied with Washington for the lead
ership of the American league, after
winning five of their first seven starts
at home, the Tigers easily qualify ai
the sensations of the early going. It
is doubtful if even Harris expects
them to stay at the top but, even
ao, the former "boy manager" can
report progress.
Pitching Big Factor.
So far the Tigers have enjoyed the
finest pitching in either league from
Earl Whltehill, Vic Sorrell. George
Uhle and Whitlow Wyatt, and their
hitting has been both hard and time
ly. One of their two defeats last
week was charged to Sorrell, and on
a day when he allowed the St. Louis
Browns only three hits.
Rightflelder Roy Johnson has sup
plied the big batting punch so far
with 14 hits In 32 trips for an aver
age of .438, but the club has been
hitting right down the line. Charlie
Gehrln?er, whose bat has been a po
tent factor In almost every game.
drove three runs across with a double
and triple yesterday as the Tigers
made it three out of four from the
Browns, 8 to 0. Whltehill, turning
in his second victory, kept six hits
well spaced.
. . Senators Continue.
The Washington Senators continued
their heavy cannonading to lick the
Athletics. 7 to 4, and square the
series at Shlbe park.
The Yanks and Red Sox divided
their Patriot's day doubleheader at
Boston, the Sox scoring their Initial
victory of the year In the morning
tilt. 6 to 5, and the Tanks unllm-
berlng their long range artillery to
take the second encounter, 6 to a.
. Willis Hudlln hurled Cleveland to
a 4 to 3 win over the White Sox.
Wally Berber's triple with two on
In the 13th Inning, enabled the Bos
ton Braves to nose out the Giants,
8 to 7, and shove the McGrawmen
further Into the National league cel
