May slammed his sixth round tripper of the season Thursday afternoon, breaking a 2-2 deadlock and lifting the Milwaukee Brewers to a 3 2 victory over the Detroit 'Tigers and pitcher Denny McLain.

"I hit a fast ball," May said of the pitch he parked into the right field bleachers to lead off the fifth inning. "I was surprised to see it." Of the Milwaukee center fielder's six home runs this season, four have won ball games. "When I was with Baltimore they said I should hit about 20 or 25 home runs a year if I was playing regularly," May said. "I think I could hit 15 or 20 by playing every day." At the rate he's going, that would mean at least 12 or 16 more victories for the Brewers, lost their franchise in the Midwest football league at the Another change is planned by Judd who reports that: Larry Crouch, a defensive tackle, will replace Walt Lange at center this week. Lange will be out ior this contest only.

The crowd of 19,977 must have thought victory was a long way off as Detroit erupted for both of its runs in the first inning. Dick McAuliffe led off the game with a single and went to third on Mickey Stanley's double down the right field line. After Jim- Northrup walked to load the bases, Norm Cash hit a one-hopper back to pitcher Marty Pattin, who threw home to force McAuliffe. Bill Freehan then hit a ground single between short and third that chased Stanley and Northrup across the plate. After Pattin settled down and gave up only two more hits, both coming in the fourth.

He set down the Tigers in one-two-three order in the second, sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth In the fifth, he faced only three batters as a double play wiped out McAuliffe, who had walked to open the inning. "I didn't have my rhythm," Pattin said after evening record at 9-9. "I was missing the plate with my fast ball in first inning, it was moving so much."
