(UPD Manager Bob Scheffing thinks his Detroit Tigers can win the 1962 American League pennant although he warns that to do it "my team will have to improve a lot or the Yankees have to get a lot worse." He doesn't put much hope on the possibility of the Yankees getting any worse even though he contends that' they are going to miss shortstop Tony Kubek, who is in the Army, more than they admit. "You just don't replace a shortstop like Kubek," says Scheffing, "and if he. stay's in the Army all season, our chances would be a lot better." Ironically, shortstop is one position on his club that has Scheffing worried a bit. , " He has the veteran Chico Fer nandez, who hit only .248 last season, or Dick McAuliffe, who hit .256 for the Tigers after being called up front Denver. Mc Auliffe's Army status is doubtful although it looks like he will be with the club to open the season and then will have to go back into the service for a brief stint ' before being released. Needs Bullpen Strength Scheffing admits he also needs more pitching, especially in the bullpen. Otherwise he feels his club has enough to match the Yankees.
