Johnny Grolh Stars In Two Detroit Wins New York, April 21—(UP)—The Detroit Tigers are trying to treat centerfielder Johnny Groth as just another human being but the kid is making it impossible. i He simply insists on being a i phenomenon. The rookie snatched up from Chicago’s sandlots was labeled as ; a "can't miss" star, perhaps an- ] other. Joe DiMaggio or a Tris Speaker more than two years ago. But Tiger general manager Billy Evans and Wish Egan, the veteran ■ scout who discovered him, polished him slowly and painstakingly on minor league diamonds. ] Today, it seems, he definitely ! has arrived. In just two games the likeable 23-year-old has hit three homers including a bases-loaded smash yesterday which gave the Tigers a 5 to 2 victory over the White Sox at Detroit. He accounted for all of Detroit’s runs, also; getting a double and single as Vir- j gil Trucks turned in a four-hit I pitching job. In the opener he hit two homers,; giving him seven runs batted in for two days. Egan worries only about “all this i wild publicity which will be his! main handicap.” Tommy Henrich of the Yankees) ; also used home runs for the second) ] day in a row as a springboard to ■ ! victory. Henrich’s homer yester- ; day started Vic Raschi off to a 1 three-hit, 3 to 0 victory over the] Senators at New York. His homer the day before in the ] ninth broke up the ball game. The Yankees worked a triple steal with Bobby Brown scoring later in the game as ex-Mexican leaguer Paul Calvert held them to five hits. The Indians came from behind to defeat the Browns, 7 to 3 at St. Louis although Bob Lemon was 1 tagged for homers by Dick Kokos and Jack Graham, Thurman Tuck-; I er led the Indians with three hits including a ninth inning double. ] The Athletics made it two in a; row over the Red Sox when Sam ] Chapman singled home the win- ] ning run in the ninth in a 3 to 2 ] decision. Errors by Johnny Pesky ) and Ellis Kinder set up the rally as Joe Coleman got by with a vic-

Duke Torgeson homered for Boston. Nelson Potter won his second game in relief in as many days. . ; j The Dodgers got four unearned ji runs as the Giants made four errors in a 6 to 2 Brooklyn decision on I four hits at Ebbets field. Ralph Branca also gave up only four hits for Brooklyn but was given better support than luckless Sheldon ) Jones of the Giants. Sid Gordon hit a homer for the Giants. Young Bob Rush gave up only three singles at Chicago in shut- ’ ting out the Pirates, 4 to 0. He ] also struck out seven batters. The '; Cubs made all their runs when !|Murty Dickson weakened in the fifth, Bob Scheffing driving in two 1 with a double and Andy Pafko and 7 I Hal Jeffcoat singling in the others.
