Detroit Tigers' manager, in sizing up the American League I race today for the United Press, i 'I know from personal experi--1 once.” When he was manager of the ’ Washington club. Harris piloted . the Senators to pennants in 1924 I and 1925, but could get no Inetter : than fourth place when he tried i to win his third championship in a row. •‘You can't Haugh off the Athletics,” said Harris, ‘‘but 1 believe thev’ll have a lot more trouble in trying for their third pennant than in 1929 when they won by 16 games and in 1930 when they topped the field by 8 games. "I look for the closest race in several years, with Philadelphia Washington. Cleveland. New York and Detroit fighting for the money positions." Harris, the youngest manager in the majors in years and the second oldest in the American League in point of service, is enthusiastic about Detroit's chances. “If our youngsters continue to keep up their pace, and they give every appearance of doing so,” said Harris, “I think we have a ' first division ball club." The three youngsters Harris , praised are Marvin Owen. 23-year-' old shortstop,’ Harvey Walker. 24-year-old outfielder, and Tom Bridges, 25-year-old pitcher. Two other bright spots in the I Timers’ play thus far have b^en“ the M-’tno- of Dale Alexander. 1 ciant first taseman. and Jonathan Stone, rangy outfielder. Alexander was leading the American , League in batting today and Stone i was tied with Hornsby for the! major league home run lead. Although the Tigers have made their best getaway in several seasons Harris confessed he was disappointed that they had not done better than win half their games. ■ o MAJOR LEAGUE LEADERS Bv United Press The following averages compiled 1,8- the United Press include games played Tuesdav, April 28.

ROBINS STILL IN BAD SLUMP New York. April 29—(U.R) —Good! pitching and fair hitting, it appeared today, isn't a strong enough combination to bring the Brooklyn Robins out of their, slump. Brooklyn, rated as one of thej outstanding contenders for the 1931 National League pennant. 1 dropped its tenth game in 13 starts yesterday to the New York Giant < 3 to 2. The Robins outhit the, Giants and received much better' j pitching. Leftv Clark held New York to, four hits while the Robins pounded Clarence Mitchell for 11. Brooklyn had the liases fillet! in the ninth with two out and Babe Herman at bat but failed to come I through. f I The St Louis Cardinals and : Chicago Cubs went into a tie for ! the National League leadership when the Boston Braves, surprise team of the season, were whipped | by the Philadelphia Phillies. 9 to .9. A ninth inning rally gave the I Phillies the contest. The defeat dropped Boston to third place. Burleigh Grimes turned in his third victory of the season as th“i Cardinals defeated Pittsburgh, 8 ' to 2. St. Lon’s made onlv five hits off three Pirate pitchers but bunched four of them in the third inning for three runs. Grimes held the Pirates to nine scattered hits lilt four e rro rs by his teammates kent him in trouble. The Cubs, although idhs. slipped into a ti“ for (he top position by the Braves' defeat. Chicago's scheduled game with the Cincinnati Reds w-is called off in tribute to August (Garry) Herrmann, former president of the Reds, who was buried yesterday. Cleveland maintained its lead in the American League bv whipping the St. Louis Robins, 10 to 9, in ten innings. The New York Yankees and Washington Senators battled to a 7 to 7 tie before the game was called off because of darkness at the end of the 14th inning. New York held a three run lead as the Senators came to bat in the ninth but they knocked Sherid out of the box and tied the score, er team scored in the extra innings. Pat Caraway pitched the Chicago White Sox to a 6 to 5 victory over the Detroit Tigers. Bi'l Cissell’s home run with two out in the seventh accounted for Chicago’s winning run. * The other scheduled American League game between the Boston Red Sox and Philadelphia Athletics was postponed because of cold weather. Yesterday's Hero — Bill Cissell, secotad baseman, whose home run with two out in the seventh in_ning gave the Chicago White Sox a 6 to 5 victory dver Detroit. Cissell got two doubles in addition to the homer. He drove in three runs and scored two himself. o STARS IN RACE ♦ Indianapolis. April 29. —Two popular speedway stars who made cost'y decisions which kept them from. winning 500-mile races at Indianapolis today both entered cars in the International sweepstakes to be held here May 20. They are Phil "Red” Shafer, large, red faced, auburn haired end smiling, and Ralph “Sparky” Hepburn, thin, sad faced and serious. Shafer will drive a car of his own making which he now is completing within the shadows of the grandstands along which he will thunder race day. Hepburn is in Los Angeles assisting a famous motor builder put the finishing touches on his hopes for fame and gold in the Indianapolis contest. I Both Hepburn and Shafer, real i speed veterans, are among the ■ most popular speed drivers who , haunt speedway's gasoline alley at

■iace time. I It was Shafer, team manager of | two cars, who. in 1928 decided to sell one of the mounts. Louis Meyer, a man, silent racing mechanic from California was the inquiring prospect. "Can I have my choice of the two cars.' 'he asked Shafer. “I should say not.” bellowed Shafer and then a smile curtained his face as he continued. “Because you see ’Looie' I want to give you the better of the two cars, so i'il intake the choice." i Shafer was only fooling, of course, j And Meyer thought he knew it. But | Shafer, it developed, did sell the. best ear whether he intended to orj not. | it was the car Shafer sold Meyer (Which the unknown pilot drove to. first place and $50,000. “I'll use the guessing system the next time I have two cars and want to sell one of them before a race," laughed Shafer after the race. Hepburn came to the tiack as a I free lance driver last year in search ot a mount. He is a good driver aud there was a demand for his services. But the car which struck Hepburn's fancy was the front wheel drive Miller-Hartz Special which Harry Hartz brought to the scene. Hartz conferred with Hepburn as well as a score of other pilots. Hepburn with years of experience demanded a high percentage of the earnings. Hartz is a 'shrewd business man. i Billy Arnold, a youthful veteran of the wheel was washing parts on the Miller-Hartz Special. "What is I your price to drive the car, Billy?" | ’ Harry asked. i "Gosh,” the beyful Billy, “I I like it so well. I’d drive it for nothling.” Arnold got the job. He won the race, and collected nearly $100,090 ’ with the car ere the season ended. I “If that guy was driving for I I nothing today,” moaned Hepburn as Arnold was given the checkered ' 1 flag of victory, “I wonder what j he’d do if he was getting paid.” Will Give Rates Indianapolis, April 29. — Excur- !

FEW ROOKIES IN BIG TIME New York. April 29.--<U.R)~ Rookies -the flowers Hint bloom in the spring of (he baseliall sea-son-have started to fade. With the first two weeks of the season completed, only 17 newcomers are ( continuing to appear regularly in major league box scores, and a number of these, rookie regulars are in danger of losing their berths. Al Van Camp of the Boston Red Sox, a first baseman purchased | from Des Moines, is setting the j hitting pace for the first year men with a mark of .474. He has n-peared in 7 games, first as a pinch hitter and recently as a regular, hitting safkdy in every contest with a standing of 9 hits, including fuel doubles*, in 19 times at bat. Only three other rookies have duplicated Van Camp’s feat of i hitting safely in every gapie play ed. Nel Simons of the White Sox i has not been stopped in 10 games, - while Worthington of the Braves and Heath of the Reds have collected Hows in 7 and 5 games respectively. Joe Vosmik, Cleveland's sandlot I ofltfielder, started like the prover- : bial house afire and led both i leagues in hitting for the first week, but has secured only one j hit in 14 times at bat during his I last three games. He now is tied i for second place among the rookies with Fred Eichrodt of the Chii cago White Sox at .409. Eichrodt, New Orleans graduate, has been alternating in right field for the Sox and has made 9 hits, including doubles and a triple in five games. Other Outfielders , who have clinched regular b°rtiis are Arlett of the Phillies, Simons of the Wh’te Sox and Worthington of the Braves. H. Walker of the Tigers and Nick Cullop of the Reds still are playing as regulars but must improve their batting marks -of .250 and .241, respectively, to hold their positions. Crabtree, subbing for Eddie Roush as Cincinnati center fielder, has hit only .147 in 8. games and appears destined for a return to the minors. Johnny Vergez, the New York Giants' $40,000 third baseman, and Jim Levey, St. Ixuiis Browns ' shortstop, have surprised with I their fine hitting but are not living : up to expectations in the field. ' Both were sensational fielders i and comparatively weak hitters ' in the minors and are counted up- ! on to overcome their early season fielding nervousness. Mickey Heath. Cincinnati first baseman, has done the best allaround work of the new infielders, hitting .350 and fielding 1,000 in
