BY THEON WRIGHT

(Unitcd Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, Aug. 1S-UP).-The crucial series" has come and gone, leaving the New York Yankees, who were to have stopped Detroit cold, filled with mingled feelings of consternation, awe, hope, horror and helplessness-which would be a dish for Sigmund Freud.
 An analysis of the series, com piled with an experts touch, re- veals that the Detroiters started the series four and a half games ahead and wound up five and half games ahead, while the Tanks finished practically behind the eight ball.
 Yesterdays double-header finale swung like a saloon door-both ways. With Fl Gomez rifiing his bullet-ball from the hump, it look ed as if the Yankees had regained what is known as their old form. The goofy senor from San Fran cisco did not give Mickey Coch- rane's bengal beauties a point in the opening game, which was won by the Yankees to 0.
 Hypnotized "Em"
 When the second game started. MT Lynwood Rowe, the Eldorado sorghum swallower, took his stance on the hummock for Detroit. After that 1t was different. The effect of MT Rowe was such that the cus- toners arose with ringing cheers or coincidence when Lynwod skldded into third base in the sec- ond inning and wrench his foot, so that it looked as if he would be O.. the shelf for keeps.
 You could hear the folks all over the place saying to each other, well, that finishes Detroit Too bad-Ha! Hal"
 But the grief stricken multitude subsided into quite a stiffness when Lynwood got on his dogs, hobbled around, and then proceeded to strike out eleven of the Yankee 1eilo"s, allowing but three hits and winning 20.
 AS a result of the series, Detroit appears more firmly entrenched than ever in first place and it is pretty definitely established that if the Tigers are to lose, they will have to beat themselves. The Tanks can't dot it.
 Boston split with St. Louis, win ming the opener 60 behind Wes Ferre!fs two-hit pitching, and los- ing the nightcap, 5-2. This lost them chance to go into third place, as Cleveland was beaten twice.
 Close One
 Washington took the Indians measure, Earl Whitehiu winning the openers 4-3, in ten innings. while Bobe Burke pitched a three hit shutout in the nightcap. the Senators winning 10.
 The Athletics divided with Chi cago winning the first - their sixth straight 9-S. but dropping the finale 3-2.. Ed Coleman hit three homers in the opener, and Jimmy Foxx got his thirty eighth homer in the second.
 The Giants beat Pittsburgh twice While the Cubs were losing, and pulled away to five-and-a-half game lead. Mel Ott got his thirty first and thirty-second homers, one in each game, as New York won "a and S-3.
 Boston bowled over the Cubs 5-2, driving Jim Weaver from the Hill and taking the series, three out of four.
 St Louis continued to move steadily upward, with Paul Dean, back in favor after the dean in- surrection, allowing only four hits the last seven innings to get his thirteenth win, 12-2. Jimmy Col lins hit & homer.
