'ASTOFFS FROM
DETROIT TEAM
GET REVENGE
By FRANK GETTY
UNITED Press Sports Editor)

NEW YORK, April 13.-With the
permission of the elements the ma
for league pennant races will be re-
|kumed in their entirety today.
Citizens of certain cities are rath
Ter anxious about this resumption.
| They have yet to see their home
team win ball game.
Not a single American league
club has won Il home game this sea
son, all victories to date having gone
TO the visitors.
In the National league the home
teams have been quite successful,
however.
The spectacle of the st. Louis
Browns and the Cleveland Indians
leading the American league process
sion is an unexpected one, but
youngsters called upon by Howley
and Peckinpaugh have performed
well in the initial tests.
st. Louis fans, in fact, have oc-
easion to be we'll pleased with the
results thus far. The Browns were
expected to hit the bottom of the
American league and stay there,
a thud, and stay there, especially
since they had to open the season
against the Detroit Tigers, who had
been primed by George Moriarity
for a quick getaway. Instead, Dan
Howlcy's youngsters have made an
excellent start, showing complete
disregard for the prowcss of the
best Detroit pitchers.
Players obtained from the Tigers
in last winters trades, Lou Blue,
and Hcine Manush, have led the at
tack upon Detroit to Moriarity S
discomfort. Frank 0 'Rourkc traded
by the Tigers last year, also has
played a prominent part in the
twisting of the junglcrs' tail.
