Comment On Sports By rtXE nUTCHIB Washington, D. C. ? The big question in the American League today is whether the Detroit Tig ers will fold. For months now some of th4 experts km said tlte Tigers would come unglued ? that they were above their collective beads. But as July 4th rolled around, the Tigers were still right In there, at gripe with the Yankees over first place, and had not yet collapsed. Hiey did not collapse in the face of challenge* from the hottest club*. When Cleveland was red hot It was Detroit which cooled the In dians off. When Chicago had won twelve straight, it was Detroit that stopped the Sox. When the Yankees first challenged for the lead, in Jnne, Detroit them off two out of three. (That was the series between the two clubs prior to the July 4th double header in Now York.) So the question naturally Is: "Are the Tigers going to fold at allT" Paul Richards said? at the be ginning of the season? that he thought the Tiger* were playing over their heads that they really weren't as good as the standings indicated. Richard* ? ? top man ager?has paid dearly for those slurs. The Bengals have been most un kind to the Orioles. Even in the two Baltimore home series, the Ti gers have decimated the Orioles, this last time wining the series and stopping a five-game Oriole win ning streak at the same time. . It could be i race between t* Tigers and Yankee* down to the wire. That would bring back ihadea of 1990, when the Yankeea noaed out the Tiger*, who at that time had been winning pennants every five year* with aome regu larity (ins, 1940, 1948). In 1945 the Ti gar* edged the Yankee* and Brown*? the old St. Loui* Brown*. In 1940 they edged the Cleveland Indiana, who were then known aa the "Cry BaMea." News Of Our Servicemeij JOHN W.
