Roy, Hank
Hit H0n1ers
BY LEO MACDoNELL

BRIGGS STADIUM, Sept. 70
Behind the brilliant pitching of
Harold Newhouser, their southpaw
ace, the Tigers lambasted the In
dians, IL to 0, here today in the
first game of a double-header.
The victory assured the Tigers
of at least a tie for the American
League championship. They could
clinch the title by winning the
nightcap.
1t was Newhouser's oath victory
of the season, a batch that in
cluded eight shutouts. He allowed
seven hits and struck out 10 bats
men. Three sparkling double
plays, maneuvered by Eddie Mayo
Skeeter Webb and Rudy York,
helped the willowy left-hander
over rough spots.
FOURTH SCALP
Four of Newhouser's wins over
the season were at the expense Of
the Indians.
The Tigers pounded out 13 hits
off Allie Reynolds and Pete Cen
ter. including home runs by Roy
Cullenbine and Hank Greenberg.
They were the eighteenth and
twelfth homers for the two Tigers
this season. Both came with two
mates aboard And both were off
Reynolds, who pitched seven
frames before being lifted for a
pinch-hitter.
THREE BIG INNINGS
The Tiger tallies were crowded
into three innings. five of which
came with two down in the first
inning. Doc Cramer led off with a
Texas Lacquer for single and
Greenberg walked. Then Cullen
bine plastered his homer far up
into the upper deck of the right
field stands.
After York walked, Jimmy Out
law singled TO center. With that
Paul Richards came through with
resounding double that scored
both base runners.
EXPLODES IN SEVENTH
After a five-inning rest, the
Tigers exploded again in tho
seventh. Again there were i~c
out. Newhouser started the fur
with one of his two-baggers Ther
p Webb and Mayo were retired
t Cramer walked and Greenberg
followed with his four-ply blow
which sailed into the lower deck
of the left field stands, NewhouseI
and Cramer trotting home aheaC
