OREGON Tigers, Cardinals Rank As 'Hottest' in Majors ' Detroit Moves From Last to Fourth In 14 Games; Cards Win 9 Out of U By JACK HAND Associated Press Sports Writer Detroit unci the St. Louis Car dinals rank as the two hottest clubs 1 the major leagues today on the eve of the second inter scctional series of the season. When the Tigers started their eastern swing they were buried in last place but their 10 out of . 14 pace sei.t them soaring into fourth and only four games off the Yanket pact. Paul (Dizzy) Trout was Steve O'Neill's ace in the spurt, win ning all four of his starts, one from each eastern team and al lowing only five runs and 29 hits Briefs NEW YORK, May 23 () By way of explaining those Sunday baseball crowds, the figures show that, competition, still is there,, if quality isn't . . . Out of 246 Major league games so far, 79 have been .decided by one run . That's a .321 average, which is good in any league . . . Incident ally, the Yanks have won five out of six one-runners and the Cards four out of seven. The In- dians have played IS of those tight games and the Braves and Dodgers 13 each . . . The Nation' al Football league turned down George Preston Marshall's pro posal to change its name from "league," to "conference." . . . If you could listen in on a con ference between Marsnau and the other club owners, you'd understand why they weren't interested in a rjermanent one. TODAY'S GUEST STAR John McGill. Jr., Ashland, Ky., Dally Independent: "Stan ley Musial of the Cardinals issed his Dre-iuductica physical with flying colors, which might well provoke bt. louis to fly its colors at hau mast. a' fency explanation We can't vouch for the truth of this explanation, but it's a good one . . . Back in the old days, Arlie Latham was playing in the outfield on Staten island when a goat wandered onto the field . . . Play halted while the Athletes pursued the animal and Arlie finally caught the goat and threw it over the fence ... As he .heaved, Arlie remarked "over the fence is out." . . . And that's how the saying started.

The western ttfuns of the Na- tional, paced by the Cardinals witn nine triumphs in 13 starts, handled the eastern invaders in easy fashion by playing .615 ball Only the Boston Braves who got spectacular pitching, could break even in 14 games. Brook lyn nose dived from fifth to sev enth witn only four wins in n tries. In the American's east, the home teams hac' the edge but had to scramble to keep above the .500 mark by taking 31 of 56. Detroit's success saved the other visitors from a complete rout al though each showed flashes of form. All indications pointed toward a real knock-down drag-out scramble in the American. Now that every club has played all the others it is apparent there is no standout team, new York has been in and out, alternating with its pitching success, Wash ington flopped badly in blowing four straight to the Tigers and the Browns fo"ded with only four victories in 14. Because the oth er top teams were losing too, the St. Louis collapse escaped gen eral notice and they were able to hang in second place. The Cardinals lost a series to Boston, two to one, but tightened their hold on first place while the other western teams began to take charge of the first division. Philadelphia in fourth place is the only eastern nine in the top four and this club had a rocky trip during which they dropped four of 12. Even the Cubs began to pull out of the basement, taking seven of 13 their last four in a row.
