'PascuaI Could
Match Losses
10 Rout by Tigers
Is Sixth Straight
Defect for CumiIo
By BURTON HAWKINS

Camilo Pascual had his bosses
beaming when he won two OF
his first three starts this sea-
son. After all, that matched his
1855 win production. But the
lglow long since has vanished, for
the trigger-tempered Cuban also
is threatening to match his IL
losses Of last year much sooner
than suspected.
Pascual has lost seven games,
including his last six in a row
He hasn't won since April %,
when he beat Baltimore for the
second time. His earned run
average is an inelegant 7.29 sur
passed for ineficiency on the
club only by Bob Wiesler.
He was clobbered again last
night, yielding four rapid runs
to the Tigers before being chased
in the first inning. Billy Hoeft
took it from there, restricting
1.-THE Senators to six hits as De-
troit breezed to a TO victory
before 4,704 customers.
Homer Production Drops
That shutout, incidentally, was
the third inflicted on the Sena-
tors in their last eight games.
Homer happy here early in the
season and at one point trailing
their foes in home run produc-
ton by a 1913 margin, the Sen
ators since have belted only six
homers here. Meanwhile the OPP
position has whacked 10. 1t all
adds to considerable gloom.
Bucky Harris isn't the type to
lgloat. but the Tigers manager
must extract more than a weeny
bit of satisfaction from his clubs
performance over the past two
years against the team that fired
him. The record reads 22-5
with Detroit owning the big
figure.
And the next time the Sena-
tors beat the Tigers this year
will be the first. They've played
five. lost five with Detroit. Hoeft
is living it up against the Sena-
tors, too. He has opposed them
six times in the last two sea-
sons, has six wins and has
completed all games.
Pascual, Dashed for is homers
this year, figured in setting a
Griffith Stadium record. He
walked Bill futile to start last
nights drab affair and Wayne
Belardi then dashed a homer
over the rightfield fence. AL
Kaline followed with a blast over
the new fence in leftfeld. It
was homer No. 81 here this
year, surprising the mark estab-
l1Shed in 1888.
Tigers Get Another
The Tigers pried another run
from Camilo with one out when
Ray Boone walked and Frank
House and Frank Boiling deliv-
cred singles. That was enough
for Pascual and Bunky Stewart
and Tex Clevenger finished ur
adequately if unexcitingly.
If third base had been desig-
mated home plate for the night
the Senators would have scored
a run. They advanced one rum
ner to that outpost in the second
inning when Jim Lemon doubled
with one out and shifted to third
on Lyle Luttrell's grounder, but
Ed Fitzgerald stranded Jim with
a grounder to Boone.
Detroit boosted its lead to SO
in the fourth against Stewart
when Bunky walked House with
the bases loaded. They added
two runs in the sixth after Be-
lardi doubled. He moved to
third when Luttrell gummed up
Kaline's grounder and scored
when Charley Maxwell grounded
out. Kaline took second on that
play, stole third and scored after
House flied to Carlos Paula in
right.
Hal Griggs will attempt to halt
the Tigers tonight, with Steve
Gromek due to pitch for Detroit.
The'clubs will clash in a double
header tomorrow starting at
O'Clock.
