LOOKS LIKE
TIGERS ARE
LOSINGOUT
(By Associated Press)
. Are the Detroit Tigers finally
cracking under the persistent pres
sure, one of the most gruelling pen
nant battles ever waged?
The answer may come within the
next few days. Then again, it may
not be known until the waning days
of the season. This is certain, how
ever. The Detroit picture was never
stranger than it is today. At least,
not since the Tigers took over the
American League lead 82 days ago.
True, they are still clinging to
the top, but by the slimmest margin.
Following last night's 5-4 loss to
the Senators in Washington, the
Tigers once-comfortable four and a
half game bulge was whittled to (
two percentage points.
The hard-pressing New York
Yankees picked up a full game on
the tiring Tigers by clipping the
Cleveland Indians, 6-5, in 10 in
nings of the first game of a sched
uled doubleheader. The second
game was postponed after two and
a half innings because of rain.
Three Place Tic
Boston’s Red hot Red Sox soared j
to a third place tie with the In
dians, overpowering the Chicago
White Sox, 13-6. The victory moved
them within two games of the top.
It was a dreary looking Detroit
squad that braced itself for a
doubleheader today with the Sen
ators.

slump of the campaign—six defeats
in the last nine games.
Pitchers Virgil Trucks and Ted
Gray are on the shelf. Right-hander
Art Houtteman still is bothered by
a side injury. Shortstop Johnny
Upon is playing with a protective
pad that covers a 10-stitch spike
wound in his right leg.
Added to that the Tigers were
faced today with the possible loss
of Slugger Hoot Evers. The out
fielder sprained his right wrist last
night and is awaiting the result of
X-rays.
Hitting Falls
As if that isn’t enough, the club’s
hitting has fallen off. The Tigers
managed only six hits off Sid Hud
son last night in dropping their
third straight one-run decision.
riizzy Trout was the loser. He
blew a 2-0 lead in the third inning
when four consecutive hits gave
Washington three runs.
A single by Hank Bauer with the
bases loaded in the 10th inning de
cided the first game and gave Vic
Raschi his 17th victory.
Two Homers
Bobby Doerr’s two homers spark
ed the Red Sox to their 14th vic
tory in 15 starts. Mel Parnell regis
tered his 13th triumph.
Jim Konstanty made his 59th re
lief appearance for Philadelphia to
help the Phillies down the St. Louis
Cardinais, 5-3. The triumph kept
the Phillies five and a half games
ahead of the Brooklyn Dodgers
who whipped the Cubs in Chicago
8-2.
Boston's Braves blanked the Cin
cinnati Reds, 4-0, and the New York
Giants slugged the Pittsburgh Pi
rates, 10-5, in other games. St. Louis
and Philadelphia in the American
League were rained out.
(By Associated Press)
No pitching in the Pacific Coast
League? Don’t you believe it.
Los Angeles’ Cal McLish blanked
Hollywood, 4-0, with three hits;
San Diego's Jack Kraus shut out
Portland, 2-0, on four hits; Big Jim
Wilson won his 22nd game as Seat
tle beat Sacramento, 5-2, and A1
Gettel posted No. 16 for Oakland
in a three-hit, 9-2 win over San
Francisco.
All that chucking in one night—
last night—indicates other flingers
may soon follow Sacramento’s Max
Surkont to the majors. Wilson, for
almost certain; McLish, Gettel and a
few others, too, by next season.
McLish, found wanting in earlier
National League triai.., posted his
16th win against eight defeats fcr
the seventh place Angels and his
fourth straight win over Hollywood.
Les Layton, with a homer and
two singles, and Clarence Maddern,
with a double and two singles, drove
in two runs apiece for the Angels.
Frankie Baumholtz lost ground in
nis drive for the .400 batting mark,
getting only one single in five
trips to slip to .390.
Kraus turned in his season’s best
and needed only Suitcase Simp
son’s two-run homer off Red Lynn
to breeze home. It was No. 27 for
Simpson.
Gettel’s performance kept Oak
land 5'- games'ahead of San Diego.
Two unearned runs in the ninth
kept him from a shutout.
Wilson’s 22nd w'in was not one
of his best. The" Seattle ace was
reached for 10 hits in 7 2-3 innings
and needed relief from Jim Davis
and Hector Brown. Walt McCoy,
new Negro acquisition, lost his first
start for Sacramento.
