Rolfe Doubts '| r ■ ■ I , ' ". iV.• ■ ■ ■ Tigers Tough Enough To Win Xew York; April 6—(UP)—Manar ger Red, Rolfe, awed by the “paper” power of the Red Sox. gave his Detroit Tigers only ’ "an outside chance” today to win; the 1951 American league pennant. "I don’t see how anyone can beat Steve D’Neill’s team,” he said frankly. "But I felt the same way spring and figured the would ' finish third. Well, we almost won the pennant with the Red Sox finishing third. “I definitely think we’ll make the division and when you have a oldb that good it megns you always pave a chance. But from the way we have been playing this spring. I’d say |?e have only an outside chancy, at best, rif winning the pennant.” < Rolfe has failed thus (ar to find the power which he feels the club so badly ndeds. He isn’t worried about the Tiger pitching despite the loss of 19-garne winner Art Houtteman to the army. “ft wasn’t pitching which kept us ifroni .ifrinn’ng the pennant last year, but our hitting?’ Rolfe, explained. “We just didn’t have as much power as the other contending clubs." < With Virgil Trucks, who won only three games last year because of a- sore arm, showing signs of his old form. Rolfe believes his tfeath has the best over-dll pitching in the league. "Perhaps out will not,, be as good as those of the Yankees) or .Indians, bpt our Second line pitching strength definitely is the strongest in the he said. “That could; make a big difference.” His starting hurlers figure to be Trucks.
