DETROIT. Aug 22.-The Mats
winning streak ended at six games
here today when the Tigers scored
five runs in the ninth inning to gain
5-4 decision in the third game of
four-game series.
A homerun by Barney McCosky
with two mates aboard was what
decided the battle and caused Alex
andre Carrasquel, Venezuelan right
handler, to be charged with his first
defeat of the season The homer
was McCosky's second of the year.
The Mats sent CarroSquel into the
ninth with a four-run edge, and it
looked as if they would gain their
second successive shutout over the
tottering Tigers. But Billy Sullivan
gave the Detroiters an opening
when he singled to right, and before
the crowd quite knew what was
happening, the Tigers had a ball
game. Del Baker sent Birdie Teb-
belts to bat for Frank Croucher
after Sullivan hit and he came
through with single. After School,
boy Rowe forced Tebbetts, Bruce
Campbell batted for Tuck Stainback
and singled to right, scoring Sulli-
van with the first Tiger rum
Charley Gehringer flied out, scor-
ing Rowe and then Rip Radcliffe
singled. McCosky then stepped up
and blasted Carrasquel pitch into
the right field pavilion ending it all
UP to the ninth Carrasquel held
the Tigers to five hits, while the
Mats were getting to Paul Trout and
Rowe for eight, which included a
triple and single by Cecil Travis,
who today took the leadership of
the American League in hits as well
as in triples. He has made I72 hits
thus far this season and IA triples.
The Griffs moved ahead in the
fourth when they got lone tally.
They added two runs to their total
in the fifth and got another in the
seventh, when Travis tripled with
Lewis aboard, but that was their
limit for the day.
