DETROIT, April IA (AP).-
The chummy rightfield stands
at Tiger Stadium long have
been Roger Maris' favorite home
run target.
1t was there his first major
league homer landed in 1857.
And in the years that Maris'
fame as Slugger grew, he scat
tered the rightfield spectators
with his drives with greater
and greater frequency.
Now the rightfield fans are
rebelling viciously against the
Yankee power-hitter's shots at
them.
He narrowly missed serious

aimed a pop bottle at him in

Maris said the missile struck
