 New York, Sept. S.--(UP)-If Hal Newhouser's back misery only con- tinues to plague him in the waning weeks of the season, the Tigers are going to be a lot tougher to beat for the pennant than If he were well, judging by what he's done to the New York Yankees.
 Newhouser was supposed to be a big question mark when he started against the Yankees yesterday after flying here from @ sick bed in De- troit. He had been laid up nearly a week with muscle injury in his back.
 Best War Pitcher r But he started right of with a superlative shutout performance that placed renewed emphasis on the fact that he will go down in the books as baseball'S best pitcher of the war-years.
 Throwing blanks to the Tanks" in a four-hit. 5 to o triumph, he pitched to only 29 batters, walked none, struck out four and permitted only one man to reach second. The victory, his 22nd against eight de- feats, put him within one of his 1914 mark of this time when his record was 23-S.
 Eddie Mayo, the series sparkplug, made four hits yesterday, running his mark to l3 hits In 27 at bats in the six games with the Yankees. His hitting was all the help New houser needed to win his sixth shut out.
 Detroit's victory was necessary to maintain the game and a half mar gin over Washington. The sena- tors continued their mastery over the Browns, winning 3 to 2 on Roger WolffS four hit pitching and Joey kuhels home run. Wolf's victory was his l7th while Bob Muncrief, the loser dropped his third game against Il wins.
 Red Sox Win
 Cleveland virtually was elimlnat. cd from contention by a 1 to o loss at Boston in which 4l-year-old Mike | Ryba topped S6-year-old Mel Hard- CT in e duel of oldsters. Ryba gave up three hits. Skrster Newsonne drove in the winning run with two out in the ninth.
 The Athletics knocked the White Sox oat of the running all but mathematically with { to 3 and 9 to | ? wins at Philadelphia. The As took tn. opener with three runs in the ninth, while Q seven run rally In the seventh clinched the nightcap.
 The Cardinals got a three hit pitching performance from rookie George Dockins. They blanked tht Braves at St. Louis, { to 0, and move | within four games of the leading | Cubs. DockinS let only one batter | get beyond first base. Johnny Hopp | with Q triple and Buster Adams with | Q single and double led the Cardinal batterS.
 The Cubs were hlanked by rookie Sal Maglie of the Giants, who held them to six hits in Q 9 to o victory and ended . Six-garne winning streak. Two errors by Reggie Otero | and c long fly by Mel Ott gave the Giants the marginal run without 6 hit. Ott scored the other run on c flW
 Pirates Bow
 The Dodgers bounced back from 6 crushing defeat the day before to take 6 3 to 2 decision from the Pir- ates at Pittsburgh, Tom Seats get- ting the victory with relief help after he developed sore back.
 The Phils and Reds split at Cin- cinnati. Cincinnati took the first game 6 to 2 Joe Bowman adding three hits to good pitching job for the victory. A sever run second inning gave the Phils an 8 to 6 win in the afterpiece, nullifying three Red homers, two by Eddie Miller and one by Al Lakeman.
