■ ^ NEW YORK, April 14 p'—The
New York Yankees should repeat
their 1947 success in the American
League pennant race, ifphke Iqst
year, however, they will not cake
walk to the championship.
At least two other clubs—Bos
ton and Cleveland—will give thel
world champions a run for their
money. If outfielders Dick Wake
field and Walter (Hoot) Evers
-should regain their freshman
form, the Detroit Tigers, with
their wealth of pitching, will have
plenty to say before the 1948 race
is decided. . ,
This quartet ) should have a mon
