THE TRADE had its start when the Red Sox last played in Detroit three weeks ago. At that time, the Red Sox wanted Pitcher Johnny Gorsica tossed v-nt A hi BIRDIE TEBBETTS They'll be in new uniforms -1 nil 'J" 1 the major-league clubs. To a man, the sports writers broke out all their adjectives to proclaim that (1) St. Louis would repeat as champs of the National League and (2) Philadelphia would stay mired in the basement mud of the American.

So what happens? The Cardinals are in the cellar, and the A's are raising eyebrows all over the place by their stellar play in the junior circuit! Such reversal of expected form by these two teams come as cruel blows to the writers. It is not only challenges their membership in the AOD (Amateur Oracle Union) but provides the sleuths in the accounting department with more fuel for their never-ending arguments that baseball writers spend too much money while soaking up Florida sunshine. Like the one over here on our second floor. He finally okayed the expense account, but now has embarked on what looks like a war of nerves. Three times in the last five days he has suddenly evinced great interest in the doings of the Cardinals.

"XOT GOING so well, are they he sympathizes with a peek over the steel-rimmed glasses that all auditors seem to wear. "You picked them to win, didn't you?" he add3 with what has all the appearances of a sneer, but might be just the usual expression of his profession.

laving been thus goaded, I think it's time to cast discre- tion overboard' and re-pick the Cardinals to win the pennant. I still can't see them as anything but National League champions regardless of the fact that they have been floundering around like a bunch of bushers to date. There are all kinds of precedent for a surge by the Redbirds. They've done it before with teams not so studded with talent as their current edition. So have other clubs.

16 DETROIT FREE PRESS Wednesday, May 21, 1947 Rookie's Hit Gives Tribe 4-2 Margin Robinson's Double Does the Trick NEW YORK (UP) Scoring two runs in the eighth inning, the Cleveland Indians defeated the New York Yankees, 4 to 2, to complete a clean-sweep of the three-game series. Do who yielded seven hits, including Charley Keller's eighth homfir. until he weakened in the eighth, gained credit for his third victory. Rookie Eddie Robinson's double scored Manager Lou Boudreau in the eighth, with the deciding tally. Robinson was forced in with an insurance run when starter Floyd Bevens walked two.

He then was replaced by Joe Page, who passed Pinch-Hitter Les Fleming, the only batter he faced. Black singled home the. Indians' first run in the second. They picked up another in the third when George Metkovich scored from second on a force play after he had reached the keystone on a single and a pass to Boudreau.

The Browns clinched the game in the first inning. They scored three runs on two singles, a walk, a force and a triple by Al Zarilla. The A's only run stemmed from two singles and an infield out in the fourth." Bob Savage, who won three games last week, had his streak snapped by seven runs on seven hits, including three-baggers by Zarilla and Walt Judnich. Rookie Bill McCahan yielded six more safeties in the last five innings. It was Muncrief's third victory, Savage's second defeat.

Major League Standings AMERICAN LEAGUE Trout Bows I in Comedy of Errors 4 Unearned Runs Help Boston Win, 8 to 3 BY JAMES ZEKILLI Press Staff Writer BOSTON The Detroit Tigers matched the Boston Red Sox's hit total, each getting 10.

But the Tigers looked like bush-leaguers in the field in the first three innings, and the Sox, taking full advantage of the laxity, went on to win, 8 to 3. This gave the Sox a 2-1 edge In the series, the first Detroit dropped this season. THE DEFEAT also shaved the league leading- Tigers advantage over Boston to one full game. Dizzy Trout started for Detroit and he collapsed In the third after watching: the foe get four straight unearned runs. The winning pitcher was Joe Dobson, a right-hander with a good roundhouse curve.

He struck out nine and had the Tigers completely bottled in all innings except the first, second and ninth, when Detroit picked up single runs. TED WILLIAMS added to the local fun by getting his 10th homer and second in two days. It was a terrific 400-foot drive in the centerfield bleachers. Detroit gained a one-run lead In the first on Eddie Lake's in- fieid single, a pass to Boy Cul-lenbine and Pat Mullin's first hit in 16 times up a single to right. 4t became 2 to 0 in the second.

Eddie Mayo opened with a double and was sacrificed along by Birdie Tebbetts. -Catcher Hal Wagner made a great catch of Trout's foul. But with two out. Lake surprised Third Baseman Johnny Pesky with a perfect bunt down the third baseline, scoring Mayo. BUT THE TIGERS couldn't stand prosperity.

The Tiger infield bogged in the Red Sox second and from then on it was strictly a matter of what the Boston margin would be. With one out, George Kell made a leaping stop of Bobby Doerr's bounder. But Cullen-bine muffed the throw at first. Sam Mele tripled to right, scoring Doerr and Mele came in on Ed Pellagrini's fly to right. Lake then muffed Roy Partee's grounder and Dobson walked.

Wal-ly Moses got his second of three hits, scoring Partee with the inning's third unearned run. BOSTON CILA.SED Trout in the third on successive singles by Ted Williams, Rudy York and Doerr. Williams scored when Dick Wakefield let Doerr's hit get away. Johnny Gorslca came in here and the Sox got three more runs in the frame, the key punch being1 Partee's single with the bases loaded. Williams, the hero of Monday's dramatic 5-4 victory over Detroit, then endeared himself further with the 10,305 fans by connecting for his long homer, in the fourth, making it 8-2.

THERE WAS no further scoring until the ninth when Detroit picked ur its third run on Evers' single rnd Skeeter Webb's double. But by that time Dobson had the game well locked in his victory bag. Harold Newhouser will he trying to hit the .500 mark against the New York Yankees in New York Wednesday night. Hal now has won three and lost four. He has been brilliant on this trip, yielding three runs In three games, one of which he lost by a 2-1 count.

In a straight player swap, the Tiger redhead was sent to the Red Sox in exchange for the 31-year-old Wagner. The deal was announced after the final game of the Tiger-Bosox series and became effective immediately. TEBBETTS HAS spent his entire major league career with Detroit since.

1936 when he came up from Beaumont. He came out of the service last year in time to catch 87 games and hit .230. So far this season he has made only five hits in 53 times at bat for a percentage of .094. Wagner went to the Red Sox In 1944 after five years with the Philadelphia Athletics. He spent part of '44 and all of 1945 in the Army before returning last year to become regular receiver for the Red Sox in- their ride to the American League pennant.

He played in 117 games and hit .230. So far this season he has been alternated behind the plate with Frankie Hayes and Roy Partee, hitting .226 on 14 hits in 62 trips to the plate. Wagner will be the first left- Copley, Pace Denby Star Ties Mark Injury Fails to Stop Stewart in 220 Event GEORGE PTJSCAS Cooley High School, defending City League champion, and Tommy Stewart, "one-armed" Denby speedster, stole the show in the semifinals of the public schools' outdoor track championships at Redford. The Cardinals, who dropped their first West Side crown in 13 years last week, teamed with Redford to pace the qualifiers. Each school placed 10 men in Thursday's championship meet.

NORTHWESTERN the new West Side titlist, qualified nine, while Denby, the East Side runner-up, had six. Miller, Mackenzie and Pershing each had five; Northern four, Hamtramck, Western and Cass two, and Southeastern, Southwestern, Northeastern and Central one each. Stewart, who last week unofficially broke the 100 and 220-yard dash records, failed to establish marks in either event. But the fleet-footed Denby dash-man did tie the 220 mark, turning in a :22.1 that equaled the mark of Leonard Alkon, of Northern, 'set in 1940. THAT THE five-foot-seven, 135e pound flash even tied the record remarkable.

While on the way home from 3chool Monday, Stewart fell on a piece of glass and suffered a four-inch cut just above his right elbow. As a result, he wasn't able to bend his right arm and lost practically all the required arm movement. His time in the century, which he won easily, was :10.ir His time was :09.7 last week. Cooley's hopes to retain the title lay with its milers. The Cardinals have three runners in that event.

Neither the mile nor the relay was run in Tuesday's meet. COOLEY FOUND most of its strength in the low hurdles where placed three runners in the first four. It "also had two in the pole vault, one in the high jump, two in the high hurdles and two the broad jump.

Edward 4. Southfield 2. Cleaners 1. What's Good Enough for Connie. EVEN THE venerable Connie Mack, exuberantly watching his A's play like anything but tailenders, is sticking with the Cardinals.

He draws a parallel with the year 1911 when the A's started out as defending champs and promptly lost eight of their first 10 games to be dumped ignominously into the cellar. "That was the year Detroit won 21 of its first 23," Connie recalls, "and it looked as if the Tigers would win by 20 games." Upshot of that race was that the A's finally escaped the basement late in May, caught the Tigers in July, went on to win the pennant by 13 games and drub one of John McGraw better Giant teams in the World Series. There are other examples of teams coming out of nowhere after disastrous starts and -running away with the pennant. But one should be enough to convince most fans that a baseball season is not a six-furlong affair. A fas start helps, but it's not essential.

That's why even a lot of "I told you sos" haven't changed the odds too much on Cardinal chances of hitting the wire first, come September. And now, for the sake of the browbeaten sports writers poor-fellows let's hope they do. After all, those payroll department guys DO carry some weight, you know. Games behind leader.
