Tuesday, May 23, 1944 Tigers, Cardinals Currently Hottest Outfits in Majors BasebaUers Moving for Intersectional Games Tomorrow By JACK HAND Associated Press Sports Writer Detroit and the St. Louis Cardinals rank as the two hottest clubs in the major leagues' today on the eve of the second intersectional series of the season. When the Tigers started their eastern swing they were buried in last place, but their 10 out of It pace sent them soaring- into fourth and only four games off the Yankee pace. The western teams of the National, paced by the Cardinals with nine triumphs in 13 starts, handled the eastern invaders in easy fashion by playing; .010 ball. Only the Boston Braves who got spectacular pitching- to break even in 11 games, could remain at an even keel.

In the American's cast the home teams had Uic edge but had to scramble to keep above the .500 mark by taking 31 of 06. Detroit's success saved the other visitors from a complete rout although each showed flashes of form. See Keai Struggle All indications pointed toward a real knock-down drag-out scramble in the American. Now that every club has played all the others it is apparent there is no standout- team. New York has been in and out, alternating- with its pitching success.

Washington flopped badly in blowing: four straight to the Tigers and the Browns folded with only four vic tories in 11. Because the other top teams were losing too. the St. Louis collapse escaped general notice "and they were able to hang in second place. While the rest of the major leaguers are traveling, the New York Giants and Brooklyn will resume night ball in the Metropolitan disiricf.

tonight, with an p. m. game at Ebbcts Field. Wednesday the National's west ern entries will be in American League eastern teams will be -on their first extended western road trips.
