George, the baseball radio voice, is the only man that a pitcher tried to hit after he reached first base. No kidding. The pitcher was Early Wynn who has, as you may know, a built-in hatred of all hitters. The White Sox veteran, then pitching for Cleveland, was worked up to a special peak about Kell because the Tiger third-sacker had a penchant for I hitting line drives through the box.

Wynn freely admits driving back hitters who crowd the plate on him. His reputation of being a mean man when he faces the enemy (the hitters) is widespread. "I always considered the pitching mound my place of business," Wynn explains," and I had no desire to have it cluttered up with blood, especially when it had a pretty good chance of being my blood. That George Kell had the craziest notion that the best place to hit a baseball was through the box, because the pitcher didn't have time to field it." undisputed possession of second place but left them still 3 games behind the Yankees, who nipped Boston 1-0 for their fifth straight victory. Minnesota dumped Cleveland into third place with a 7-2 LOS ANGELES, July 18 (UPI) They all look like Walter Johnson to the Detroit Tigers.

Hank Aguirre pitched six-hit ball for seven innings last night but his support from the Tiger offense was all moral. The Los Angeles Angels cruised to a 1-0 decision as flashy Ken McBride held the Bengals to three hits to send them to their fifth straight loss since the All-Star break. In their last five games the Tigers have now managed 17 hitst. The loss dropped them two games below the magic .500 mark and nine games out of the top spot in the American league. The Boston Red Sox now provide the most serious threat the Tigers face.

The Bengals are only one-half game ahead of the Red Sox for the eighth spot in the league and not too long ago that would have been rock bottom. For McBride it was his ninth straight win, the longest streak in the junior circuit this year. In advancing his record to 10 wins and 3 losses, McBride gave up three scattered singles, three walks and managed to strike out six. The Angels dented Aguirre's armor for the only run in the game in the fourth inning. Steve Bilko singled, moved to third on Felix Torres ground rule double and then trotted home when Lee Thomas added a single.

Aguirre gave up six hits in his seven-inning stint before being lifted in the eighth for a pinch hitter. Ron Nischwitz came on in relief and gave up one hit in the inning he pitched. Torres was the bastion of the Angels' attack, blasting three hits, two of thedoubles. For the Tigers there was nothing offensively roarable. Norm Cash, Bubba Morton and Dick Brown singled but the Tigers were unable to put together a good inning.

Tiger Manager Bob Schef-fing, at his wits' end, scheduled extra batting practice for the Bengals this afternoon before the series resumes tonight. Paul Foytack will be looking for his eighth victory of the campaign to go with two losses tonight.

"After five or six shots whistled past my ear one season, I talked to Kell one day and told him when he hit through the box like that it wasn't healthy for me and if he kept it up it might not be healthy for him. "So, the next time up he whistled a drive through my legs before I could move my glove. "I called over Al Rosen, who was playing first base and told him I was going to knock that guy down on first base. I took five or six shots at him, but Rosen kept catching the ball.

"Rosen finally came over and said he was having trouble handling the throws. I told him the idea was not to catch it until it had gone by or through Kell. But he wouldn't go for it. I think he tipped off Kell." Wynn didn't know it for sure See GRIST Pg. E-4, Col.
