Garver-Gromek Combine Lead Fine Comeback By UNITED PRESS Amateur sleuths looking for clues in Detroit's fine comeback this season should study the rec* ord of a couple of “G-men” who don't work for the FBI, pitchers Ned Garver and Steve Gromek. The Garver-Gromek combine has given the Tigers 11 of their 19 victories to date and is as good a reason as any why they're press-

ing the Yankees tor third place instead of kicking around in the second division where they were consigned by the preaeason experts. Garver is making a strong comeback after suffering from arm trouble while Gromek says his isn’t really a comeback since “I never was away—l Just never got to pitch." ‘Last year at this time, Garver had a 3-5 .record while Gromek, who still was with Cleveland, pitched his first inning of the season in a relief chore just a year Mfo today, and had an 0-0 mark. Gromek, a native of Hamtramck, Mich., the “captive" city within the borders of Detroit, thinks the greatest break of bls career came when he was picked up by the Tigers and became a regular start-

er. He has a 7-1 mark while Garver made It 44 Thursday with a solid seven-hit 7-1 win over Baltimore. Garver struck out five and walked only one fa coasting to his triumph after the Tigers scored four runs in the first inning on singles by Frank Bolling, Jim Delsing, Walt Dropo and Bill Tuttle, interspersed with an error and an Infield out. Bobby Young hit a Baltimore homer in the lost cause. It was the seventh straight defeat for the Orioles. ... Last year's heroes, the champion Yankees and Dodgers, kept skidding in second straight defeats to the Senators and Phillies, while the thunderous Cubs picked up two more homers by Hank Sauer and Ralph Kiner in a 7-3 victory over the Cardinals. The Phillies hade 14 hits Including homers by Willie Jones, Johnny Wyrogtek and Earl Tongeson in their 11-5 triumph in Brooklyn. The Nats, with President Eisenhower looking on, made it two straight over the Yankees, 7-3. Final Adjustments Made To Race Cars INDIANAPOLIS UP — Mechanics took over at the Indianapolis Speedway today to make the inevitable last-minute adjustments which they hoped would provide the winning formula for the 33th annual 500-mile auto race. About 25 cars sandwiched in a few practice laps at the trackThursday between 5 and 6 pum. after a day of intermittent rains. There was a possibility that another hour or more or running time might be made available today or Sunday (because of bad weather during the past two regulation practice days. Bill Vukovich, last years winner, and Jimmy Bryan turned the fastest laps at 136-plus miles per hour In fuel and carburation tests. Bob Scott, Gai-dena, Calif., who "booted” his chance to qualify last Sunday when he misunderstood pit signals, was named relief driver for Johnnie Parsons, the 1950 winner. Parsons was seriously hurt in a midget race two months ago, but came back to qualify at a blazing speed of more than 139 m.p.h. However, railbirds figured the weakened Parsons probably will not be able to stand the full endurance test, giving Scott a chance to drive in ~the May 31 classic after all. Officials said all of the Bracked crank shafts which appeared attar qualifications have been replace?" They also announced the annual drivers' instruction meeting will be held Sunday afternoon.
