TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday. Sept. 10, 1944 DETROIT WITHIN HALF A GAME OF ; NEW YORK YANKS Tigers Down Cleveland as Boston Wins Cincy Triumphs. ' New York, Sept. 8-U.R) The pennant-hungry Detroit Tigers, eyeing first place, moved within half a game of the leading Now York Yankees today, defeating the Cleveland Indians, 15 to 6, with a thunderous batting attack that offset some pretty shoddy pitching. Meanwhile, the Boston Red Ejox, who have designs on the -"promised land" themselves, knocked down the Yankees, 7 to 1, on the five hit pitching of Rex Cecil, the expensive rookie importation from the Pacific Coast league, who previously had been a disappointment. ; The Tigers, coming from be hind to overwhelm the Indians, Tnade 111 hits, but so did the losers, the combined offensive resulting in ono of the greatest .hitting displays ever seen at PriRgs stadium. Gentry, who worked the last four innings, gained tho Tiger .victory, holding the Indians to a single run, ninth inning homer by Seerey. '- Overmire, who started, appar ently hadn't had enough rest, iiut the Indians gave him on early opportunity to resume his 'leisure, shelling hi in out of the game in the third after scoring three runs. Corsica, who follow ed, was even less effective and remained only until the fifth when the Indians scored two more runs. The Tigers hit Klleman for five runs In the third, then worked systematically on his successors, lleving, Calvert and O'Dca. Rudy York got four hits, including a double and triple, and Cramer picked up two to maintain his phenomenal late season streak. His work today gave him a record of 23 hits in his last 43 times at bat fur a percentage of .535. Cecil, starting Inausplclously for the Red Sox, settled down after a shaky first Inning and had a two-hllter going into the ninth when the Yanks got three more hits but failed to score. The 23-year-old star from San Diego hud been knocked out in his last three starts, but the Yankees could do little with him today. Bor.ham of the Yanks had little of his usual effectiveness nd left tho game In the sixth after being touched for 11 hits. It looked as if Cecil wouldn't last when he started out by walk ing Mctheny and Martin on eight pitches after Stirnwelss sinKlcd. The Yanks got their run when Llndell grounded out, but after that Cecil settled down.
