And if doesn’t shoot ’em down<\ of the stratosphere pretty shortly, a lot of the experts bettor start figuring on whether they want to start eating their words ’with mustard, ketchup, or relish. . ’i Os course, there is a trick to Xthat glittery 5-1 record they have compiled in the -4irst week. Four of their five victories have been at the expense of the Tigers and from the looks of things practickl~ly anybody can beat ' the Browns. . ’ In the process of crossing up the folks who picked them to finish at the bottom, the Browns have come up with a sharp relief T expert, Stuart, who gained credit Sunday for his. second victory. in as many days. He faced just two batters gnd retired them both, then started-the winning rally with S' double in the 11th inning as the Browns scored three times to win, 6ft. -a.. The Yankees, just old a Ifta ran s ■who can't keep up the blistering pace of the mighty Browns, stayed in second by dividing a\dquble I header ""with the Athletics. They defeated bitsy Bobby Shantz, 5-2. for the second straight time in the opener, but camo tohgrief for the ' second time in-a row Lefty Alex Kellner, who shut them out ion -two hits in the game,; 3-0. Kellner, who! also threw blanks to. the Yanks with a fivehit shutout on opening day. would ? have had a perfect no-hitr no-run\ game but for a pest named Gene Woodling. Woodling .hit a double and triple and was out at home trying to second smash into a home run. He Was the only Yankee to reach base. 7 At Washington,' Walt Ison had a successful afternoon against his old mates, the Boston Red Sox. limiting them to five hits in a 4-0 truimph that featured a double jand triple by Jackie Jensen and a single and triple by -Pete Runnels, all factors in the ~run j making. The Dodgers, who remained on top in the National, even though they don’t have quite the glitter- - ing record of those overpowering Brdwns, belabored Pittsburgh 124 as Roy Campanella hit a three- , run homer to keep up his great ’ early season run-making pace. He ! now has driven in 12 runs to fop both circuits. Pete Castiglione and\ Ralph Kiner hit homers for %vo of the seven hits yielded by Carl Erskine in his first, triumph. At St. Louis. Stan Musial hit a homer and the Cards picked up two other runs the hard way. scoring on double plays, to defeat the Milwaukee Braves, 46,, on a steady pitching job byKGerry . Sta■a ley. Staley, beaten om opening day by the Braves, would have had a — shutout but for a three-run homer
