FIVE TEAMS ARE SHOWING CLASS Ry Davis J. Walsh if N. S. Sports Editor) New Yotk May 7—(INS) N w being the time for all good ball clubs to come to the aid of the percentage c,ilI limit, it is noted today that outfits like the Pittsburgh Pirates, the New Ycrk Giants and the Cincinnati Reds i in the National League and the New York Yankees and the Philadelphia Athletics in the Ameiicnn League are beginning to show just where the "author-i-ety" is vested. They were the heavy winners on the week just concluded, a week dining which fiostfite was at a minimum for the firkt time this season. In brief, class is ginning to register. The St. Lottis Caidinals. as a mnt- ' ter of fact were the only admittde con--1 tender that didn't do itself some good ! during the seven days in question The Cards, split up the back like a : Dowager's gown by a series of illnessI es and injuries, averaged only four I runs a game in the last eight played and that kind of hocus pocits is out like an ex-light in this modern day. The club won only two out of eight and now is doddering around in sivth place The Pirates. Reds, Yankees and Athletics staked themselves to the greatest weekly gains, the Pirates’ recor 1 being five out of seven, the Red’s six I out of eight the Yanks' s x out of seven and the Athletics’ four out of five. In consequence, the Pirates sidled into fcui th place, within I*6 games of the lead, the Reds displaced the Dodgers in the rnnnei-up position and the I Yanks’ gave evidence of making a onedub race again of the American lea- ' gue affair. Only the Athletics, the Detroit Tigers and the St. Imais Browrs of the other contenders, were able to | win moie games than they lost, however, these outfits barely more than broke even against a Yankee percentage of .857 ami you don’t need a mono-| cle to see what is going to happen ii that kind of business goes on much longer perhaps Yankee pitching isn’t what it wa’s but any club that scores even runs a game isn’t due to lose too many of them. At that, the Pirates did the real hinting for the week, getting no less than 99 hits in seven games for a remark-1 able average of fourteen to the game. Those who thought Pittsburgh was all washed up like a starched collar after the last worlds series are begin- . ning to think up another good one.
