Mackmen Get Best Pitching In League By JOE REICHLER Associated Press Sparta Writer If the Detroit Tigers and Philadelphia Athletics had more batting punch to back up their strong pitch ing staffs, they and not the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox probably would be the co-tavorltes for the American league flag. There seems little doubt the Tigers and Athletics possess the best mound corps In the Junior circuit. Currently they are leading the parade with three victories and no defeats each. And it takes no Sherlock Holmes to come up with the reason fine pitching plus clutch hitting. Take yesterday's games, for example. The Tigers got only six hits oft Rookie Howard Judson aud Ike Pearson yet defeated the White 8ox in Chicago, 3-2. Virgil (Fire) Trucks went the route for Detroit, yield ing eight hit. He waiiten one iuut allowed one extra oase mi. That made It only 23 hits and eeven runs given up by Detroit hurlers In three games, an average of less than eight hits and about two runs per game. The Tigers, meanwhile, accumu i.uri onlv 27 hits and 13 runs themselves. BED SOX NirPFD Philadelphia's pitchers have been equally effective. Joe Coleman yes terday became the first Athletics' hurler to fail to go the distance, but some splendid relief pitching by Bob Savage helped the Mack men nip the Red Sox In Boston. -3. Savage held the slugging Red Sox to one hit in a three-inning chore. He was credited with the victory when the As scored two runs in the ninth as Rightfielder Sam Mele lost Barney McCoskey s fly ball In the sun. The Red Sox could muster only eight safeties off Coleman and Savage for a total of only 19 hits and nine runs in 29 innings against Philadelphia pitching. That's an average of six hits and three runs per game. On the other hand, the Red Sox and Yankees' pitchers have been faring badly. The Sox have used seven pitchers in three games and the Yankees six. FREE-FOR-ALL The National league race, as pre dicted, already is showing signs of turning into a free-for-all. With only four playing days gone, every club has been beaten at least once. The St. Louis Cardinals and Phila delphia Phillies, last of the un beatens, got their first lickings yes terday. The Cards were edged out by the Cincinnati Reds in St. Louis. 4-3, while the Boston Braves walloped the Phils in Philadelphia, 10-4. , In the other National league games the Brooklyn Dodgers de feated the Giants in New York. -J. and the Pirates shut out the Chicago Cubs In Pittsburgh. 3-0. The Yankees. St. Louis Browns, Cleveland and Washington were Dot scheduled. It pays to use the Want-Ads! By The Associated Press Hit 'em first and hang on is the success formula which has the Los Angeles Angels back knocking at the Coast league first place portals to day. The Angels slugged In five runs in the opening Inning to defeat Son Diego, 5-0, last night. Sacramento's Solons, employing much the same tactics, tallied three times in the first inning and out lasted San Francisco, 4-3. The defeat left the Seals with a .611 percentage. The Angels stood at .583. although no games behind the Seals. The difference: Los An geles has played six more games. Hal Kleine. lanky southpaw stylist, was the main man in the Angel triumph, curving a nine-hit shutout. He walked six. including home-run Jack Graham three times, but three double plays pulled him out of trouble. Veteran Jack Salveson also twirled a nine-hitter for the Sacs. His mates put together five hits in their initial splurge and added the clinching tally in the filth. The Solons banged 13 hits off Tom Fine, Dewey Soriano and Al Lien.
