BOSTON, July 20. - (F) - The
Tigers wiped out most of the dif
ference between first and second
place ia the - American league
standing today as they turned
back the Red Sox for the third
straight time. 6 to 5, but the
"law of averages" continued to
favor the Yankees.
The triumph gave Detroit,
which has climbed steadily ever
since it moved out of sixth place
late In May, a virtual tie wjth
the Yanks, who were idle. The
Tigers have won 52 games, three
more than the Yankees, and lost
33, also three more. The percent
age table, however, still shows
New York on top. .'620 to .612.
Detroit made four runs off
Cordon "Dusty" Rhodes in the
first two innings and seemed
htjded for an easy victory when
General Al Crowder began to
weaken In the seventh and the
Sox rallied to knot the count in
the Bemi-final inning. Wes Fer
rell. who smacked a pinch double
in Boston's big rally, failed to
hold the Tigers, however, and a !
ninth - inning run decided the
game.
