A WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 30, Hurlers Throwing Grea Ball in PCL: Last Night; Rainiers Wm ¥ (By Associated Press) LOOKS LIKE TIGERS ARE LOSING OUT (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 Tie Boston’s Red hot Red Sox soared fand needed relief from Jim Dav to a third place tie with the In- dians, overpowering the Chicago WhHite 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. The team is in its worst losing 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 Lipon 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. Dizzy 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. ! Hollywood, ls.m Diego’s Jack Kraus 1950 2 Shufouts No pitching in the Pacific Const League? Don’t you believe it. Los Angeles’ Cal McLish bldnked 4-0, with three hits; shut out Portland, 2-0, on four hits; Big Jim Wilson won his 22nd game as Seat- tle beat Sacramento, 5-2, and Al 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 flinge: may soon follow Sacramento’s Surkont to the majors. Wilson, for almost certain; McLish, Gettel and a few others, too, by next season.

[ Frankie Baumholtz lost ground mi his 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 win was not one of his best. The Seattle ace was reached for 10 hits in 7 2-3 innin; and Hector Brown. Walt McCo; new Negro acquisition, lost his firs start for Sacramento.
