San Francisco and Cin- cinatti each gained a pair of votes while Philadelphia and Chicage were selected once each.

It's that time of year again to go out on the proverbial limb and take a guess at which clubs are going to meet in this fall's World Series, Appearing elsewhere on these pages will be the forecasts of some of the most rabid baseball sup- porters in the district. Last year, we held our predictions back a week in the hope we could pick up some help from our contributors. This time, our favorite choices are in very favorable positions in their respective leagues and for a few days at least we can say we are going with a leader. This is probably getting a little hard to take, but this time it should be the Detroit Tigers making the grade in the American league. The Tigers are off to a good start, heading the junior circuit by a half- game as this is written, and seem to be more solid in every department. First of all, the Detroit club has a healthy manager for the first time in a couple of years and this should certainly help in bringing home a pen- nant that has eluded them for 22 years. Mayo Smith, a manager who sticks pretty well to using the tried and true methods of baseball per- centages should have a steadying influence on the players. Last year, the untimely deaths of manager Charlie Dressen and acting manager Bob Swift, tend- ed to keep the morale of the club down. A move by general manager Jim Campbell during the winter months in which he acquired Johnny Sain from the Minnesota Twins as pitching coach can't do anything but help. Sain is considered to be one of the top pitching authorities in the busi- ness and is happy with his Detroit assignment. As for the Tiger pitching staff Sain says, "I wouldn't trade it for any other staff in the league. That's the way I felt when I was hired and my opinion hasn't changed. It takes time to develop good pitching. You can't ask anybody to jump out and be sensational in a series against certain teams. When you keep doing little things in pitching you get results. I've seen it work before." The Tigers appear to have a solid pitching staff, and with Sain to get the most out of it, should be in the running came September. Denny McLain, Joe Sparma, Mickey Lolich and Earl Wilson have been getting the bulk of the starting assignments to date. The bull pen is well staffed with fellows like Fred Gladding, Orlando Pena, Hank Aguirre, Bill Monboquette, George Korince and a trio of ref- ugees from the National league in Johnny Podres, Johnny Klippstein and Larry Sherry. Korince, a big right hander from the St. Catharines area is the only Canadian on the Tiger roster and has looked good in a couple of relief appearances. Smith has a very versatile group of infielders he can play at various positions. Don Wert at third and Norm Cash at the initial sack have their jobs pretty well nailed down, but the other posts at short and second can be handled equally well by Dick Mc- Auliffe, Ray Oyler, Dick Tracewski and Jake Wood. In the outfield pastures Al Kaline, off to a good year at the bat, Jim Northrp, Mickey Stanley, Gates Brown and Willie Horton can take care of the fly chasing chores. Bill Freehan will handle most of the catching duties. In the senior loop we go with Harry Walker's Pittsburgh Pirates to take all the marbles. A couple of off-season trades can't help but put the Bucs high- er in the final standings. The acquisition of Matty Alou and Maury Wills has strengthened the Pirates at the plate, on the defence and also on the base paths. Alou can almost match Wills stride for stride on the bases and has the ability to lay down a lot of good bunts. As of the weekend the Pirates are in third place, four games back of the fast moving Cincinatti Reds. Well, here we go, to pick the first five finish- ers in each league and we look for a couple of sur- prises. In the American it will be Detroit, Boston, New York, Baltimore and Chicago. How about Pitts- burgh, St. Louis, Chicago, Cincinatti and San Fran- cisco in the National league? The surprising performance we look for should come from the Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees and Chicago Cubs. In the latter's case, our high placing of the Cubs is probably due to patriotic sentiment as we follow closely the pitching of Chat- ham's Fergie Jenkins. At the moment Jenkins has three wins and probably missed out on a fourth, more than a week ago when he was forced to leave a game in the sixth inning with a three-run lead, due to an ankle injury. MUST BE FRUSTRATING To throw a no-hitter in the major leagues or even come close is but a dream to most pitchers, but not to Steve Barber of the Baltimore Orioles. The hard throwing lefty of the world cham- pion Orioles came within two outs of achieving this goal of all throwers in his first start April 16 and Sunday afternoon was only one strike away in the first game of a twin bill with the Tigers. With two out and two strikes on Mickey Stanley, Barber un- corked a wild pitch that allowed the Tigers to tie the game at 1-1. Barber was relieved by Stu Miller and the Tigers scored another run on an error to win the game, but without the aid of a hit. It marked the first time in baseball history that two pitchers have combined to throw a no-hit- ter, but lose in nine innings of play. The only hurler to lose a no-hitter by himself in regulation time was Ken Johnson of Houston in 1964. GET A PROGRAM The old saying, "you need a program to iden- tify the players," was quite in order when the big league baseball season opened a couple of weeks ago, When the bell sounded for the '67 season, only 82 of last year's 180 inaugural, starters again opened up for the same teams, still playing in the same positions. Manager Hank Bauer of the Orioles, apparent- ly satisfied with his winning club of a year ago, changed only his pitcher for opening day. The Reds, Dodgers and Yankees, each with seven line-up changes, had the most revised crews. BesidesBaltimore, the only club that kept its infield combination intact was the Cubs.
