CLEVELAND IN TOP POSITION New York. May 12. —<U.R) —Cleveland climaxed a month of excellent play by wresting the American league lead from New York, thereby discrediting somewhat the experts who gave the Indians only a fighting change to retain f urth placq for their fourth straight season. Instead of slumping into second division, Roger Peckinpaugh’s tribe launched an impressive drive toward Cleveland's second pennant since the league was organized in 1500. The Indians won their lone flag, and also the world champion-; ship from Brooklyn, in 1920. Improved play in the field and continuance of last season's excel- ' lent pitching featured the climb, i These assets combined with fair, timely hitting make the club a formidable, well-balanced outfit. Despite their first-month showing. there is a singular lack of confidence in baseball circles that the' Indians, will come through to the pennant. In previous years they showed a tendency toward sensational spurts and dismal slumps. However, they are playing steadier this season, distributing their lost games at fairly even intervals along the route. Only 19 errors in 23 games testified to their cleaner plav in the field. Last year they made 191 in 154 contests. Timely hitting and intelligent pitching enabled them to convert IS6 hits into 93 runs against their opponents 169 hits and 62 runs. Orval Hildebrand. Wes Ferrell, Clinto Brown and Mel Harder have turned in the best flinging. Young Harder pitched and batted the Indians into command of the
