sixth win, will take the mound
tonight against downtrodden De-
troit in the opener of a three
game series. The Tigers, beaten
in 16 of their last II games. will
start Dick Marlowe.
The Mats will attempt to wind
up their trip with a flourish.
They've won seven of II games,
edging the Indians. 2-1. yester-
day at Cleveland as Walter Mas
terson snapped a three-game
losing streak with a three-hitter.
The defeat also checked Cleve-
lands Seven-game string of vic
tories and marked the third
straight 81 affair between the
clubs.
But there's little indication the
Mats have emerged from their
batting slump. They accumu-
lated only seven hits against
Steve Gromek and Bob Hooper.
Masterson was something Spe-
cial yesterday after surviving a
rocky start. He walked three in
the first inning and the Indians
produced their lone run when
Harry Simpsons fly to center
scored Dale Mitchell from third
base.
Retires II in Order. -
AL Rosen and Simpson singled
with two out in the third inning.
but MasterSon then retired II
Indians in order before George
Strickland singled with two out
in the ninth inning.
Gromek was coasting along
with a three-hit shutout until
the Mats caught up with him in
the Seventh. Jackie Jensen
launched the winning rally with
a single to left and Pete Runnels
followed with a single to the
same spot.
The bases were filled when
Jim Busby beat out a bunt to-
ward the mound for his first hit
in Is tries. Ed FITZGERALD then
lashed a single to center, scor-
ing Jensen and RunnelS.
NOTES.-The victory was the
Mats first in five games at Cleve-
land. Four of the six games
between the clubs have been
settled by one run, with the In
dians taking three of them. &.
Clyde Vollmer returned to the
lineup but his lone hit was a
pop fly that fell safely between
Second BaSeman Bobby Avila
