SAN FRANCISCO, May 8. CUP)
If George Comellas, the siX-foot,
19O-pound Cuban who hurled the
first Pacific Coast league no-hit,
no-run game of the season for the
Los Angeles Angels Sunday, can't
satisfy his ambition to make the
major leagues, he says he'll satisfy
another, namely, to retire to a su-
gar plantation.
Comellas, who dreams of sugar
when he's not talking baseball,
ought to form a corporation with
his ugar-merchant father if the
majors don't snap him up.
OF spanish descent, COmellas al
ways preferred the American base
ball to the Cuban jai-alai and won
two medals and a trophy cup in
high-school baseball He went on to
the University of Havana and al
though he did not graduate found
time to play more baseball and some

BY JACK CUDDY

NEW YORK, May 8. UP)-Two
big baseball questions will be an
swered in the intersectional play
which begins Wednesday,: Cd Are
the ST. Louis Cardinals as good as
they look?-and (2) are the st.
Louis Browns the morning glor-
les which so many suspect?
The first purely regional" phase
of the major league season ended
yesterday with the standings show
ing a baseball rarity: Western clubs
occupied top and bottom positions
in both circuits. The Cards were
No. in the National; and the Chi
cago Cubs were last. In the Ameri-
can division, the Browns were tops
and the Detroit Tigers were in the
cellar.
Baseball analysts, quick to take
any statistic and dance around 1t
with great glee, actually accuse the
Cardinals of fattening their first
place average at the expense of the
bog-booted Cubs, who lost their
18th straight yesterday. 1t seems
that the Cards can thank the quick
sanded Cubs for six of their l3 VIC
tories. And it seems that the Cards
made no such showing against
tough Cincinnati, against which
they only broke even, winning three
and losing three. Against Pittsburgh
the Cards won three and lost two.
HOW ABOUT THOSE CARDS?
The question is: Will those Card
inals do as well against the sur
prise second-place Phillies, and the
always tough Brooklyn Dodgers and
New York Giants and complacent
Boston Braves, as they did IN the
west? If the Cardinals 90 this
as they entertain the eastern clubs
at Sportsman's Park, starting We'd
nesday-you can figure that they
are in, barring important losses to
the services.
Meanwhile, the American league
leaders-the surprising st. Louis
Brownsville garnered five games
at the expense of staggering De-
troit - invade the highly -touted
Washington senators, launching the
Senators unprecedented nlght-ball
campaign which provides for every
home Washington game being play
ed under arc lights until Sept. IT,
except those slated for Sundays
and holidays.
BROWNS DID WELL
The Browns did amazingly we'll in
the west, not only against Detroit
but also against Chicago's White
SoX, five wins against two defeats
and three victories against two loss
es in their encounters with CleVe-
land. The Browns tied the modern
major league record by winning
their first nine games in a row
thanks to an excellent infield anc
