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.
Jim Tobin won his first game
