DETROIT, June 6. - The
Tigers agree that the most de-
rooimmates since the
elderly sisters in arsenic and
Old Lace" are Harmon Kille-
brew and Bob Allison. the
young musclemen.
But that pair will need help
II the team is to rise above its
seventh-place status.
Allison and Killebrew are
giving the Tigers a fright every
time they step to the plate,
what with Bob hitting $40 and
Harmon whacking away at a
.428 clip against them. They've
combined to collect 10 hits in
six games against Detroit
pitching and among their
blows have been nine homers,
two triples and two doubles.
They've batted in 81 runs
against the Tigers. Allison
boosted the total to that figure
with four last night as he1 got
five hits in as many tries, in
GLIDING a pair Of long homers.
But with all of Bob's heroics.
the Senators lost as poor field
ing cost Camilo Pascual four
unearned runs and O rs defeat
before 27.537 customers.
The loss not only wasted the
finest night Of Allison's career.
but combined with the YAM
KEGS liz pasting Of Cleve-
land, sent the Senators Keeling
out Of fifth place to seventh,
q full game back Of New York
in sixth.
Bob Boosted Average
Allison, however, boosted. his
average 10 points to .305 with
his pair Of two-run homers
and three singles. The Sena-
tors now have three Of the
leagues top five home run hit
tiers in Killebrew (1O. Allison
(l2) and Jim Lemon CID but
to capitalize on that power
they'll be forced to show more
polish afield.
First Baseman Julio Becquer
was the chief reason for the
Senator'S loss last night. He
let a double-play grounder
scoot between his legs and the
Tigers took it from there.
scoring four runs In the Sec
ond inning, three unearned.
and they added another .un-
earned run in the fourth when
Ed Yost came across from
third base on a passed ball
by Hal Naragon.
Allison. making a strongi bid
to become rookie-of -the-year,
erunched a homer with Faye
Throneberry aboard in the first
inning OF Jerry Davie. He
smacked another. again with
Throneberry on base in the
fourth of Tom Morgan TO send
the Senators into q 6-5 lead. but
the Tigers tied it IN the fourth.
Yost doubled and went TO third
as Charley Maxwell forced Har-
vey Kuenn, who had walked.
Ed scored on the passed ball.
Strategy Is Wrecked
That 6-6 situation lasted un-
til the ninth. YoSt opened the
last of that inning with q hop
ping single over Killebrew's
head and Kuenn sacrificed.
Maxwell was purposely passed
and AL Kaline wrecked the
strategy with q single to center,
scoring Yost.
Allison has dashed across SO
runs and ranks second on the
team to Killebrew, who leads
the league with 40. Bob singled
in the third OF Davie. in the
sixth against Morgan and In
the eighth against Dave Sisler,
who emerged the winner.
Killebrew's homers generally
have been eye-poppers.s but
there was nothing dainty about
his roommate's last night. Al
lison's first was a sizzling shot
into the upper deck in left
field and his second ricocheted
of the second deck In left
center.
Russ Kemmerer, who has lost
four In a row, will try TO get
back on the beam today against
Paul Foytack. The Senators
brief Western trip will end here
tomorrow with Pedro Ramos
taking the mound against Don
MosSi.
Roy Sievers. who had said he
would play last night, decided
against 1t after warming up
before the game. He reported
his sore right arm still panied
him after throwing in practice.
When he'll appear remains on
a day-to-day basis.
