THE WINDSOR STAR. FRIDAY. JUNE 14. 196327 Indians Grab Seventh Straight Sffh'' I Jack Kralick Tames Tigers r-" li. l' I fpM By 5-3 Score Kaline.

with 3-for-4, Leads A.L. Batting Race By JDI McKAY There are two reasons why Detroit Tigers are not likely to occupy the American League basement again this year. In whatever order you prefer, they are the Washington Senators and Al Kaline. The Tigers are bad but the Senators are worse. Kaline, though, is just about the greatest thing around these days but not even he can lift his mates out of ninth place.

Kaline splashed three more hits around Tiger Stadium before a Ladies Day gathering of 14,472 Thursday but the surging Cleveland Indians paid no attention. Birdie Tebbetts' Tribe prevailed 5-3 behind Jack Kralick's southpaw pitching for their seventh straight victory and their 10th in 11 starts. Quartet of Gold Cup Champions Prepares (or PETE CRAIG The dates were 1949, 1955, 1946 and 1947 when these lead-footed unlimited class hydroplane pilots had their names engraved on the coveted Gold Cup. Thursday at the Koostertail in Detroit, Bill Cantrell, Lee Schoeniih, Guy Lombardo and Danny Foster (left to right) ganged up on the cup again and swapped tall tales. Occasion was a pre-Gold Cup dinner.

Lombardo, famous band leader from London, who will return to the Gold Cup wars July on the Detroit river, was special guest. Cantrell and Foster will also compete, each in one of Schoenith's Gale boats. Lombardo will drive Tempo, a new four-sealer owned by Bernie Little of Tampa, Fla. Aroused Orioles Craig Signs With Tigers For $13,000 weren't playinp in Boston's Fenway Park. General manager Jim Campbell said earlier Thursday that some changes would be made before the major league trading deadline of midnight Saturday.

There was no indication of what the changes might be although there is talk of bringing up outfielders Purnal Goldy andor Gates Brown and pitcher Willie Smith from Syracuse.

Peter Joel Craig, a lantern-jawed. 22-year-old native and resident of LaSalle, affixed his name to a Tiger bonus contract yesterday and was immediately dispatched to the Bengals' farm, club at Duluth, in the class Northern League. He graduated from U.

of D. Angfles notrnit By JOE REIC1ILER Associated Press Sports Writer A $100 fine levied against Jim Gentile for loafing and a stern lecture by Manager Billy Hitchcock to the rest of the Baltimore team had the slumbering Orioles flapping their wings again today. Aroused by the drastic action, the fired-up Birds took it out on New York Yankees Thursday night with a 5-4 victory that snapped a five-game losing streak, ended a two-week drought during which they lost 11 of 13 games, and knocked the Yanks out of first place. And the surging Minnesota Twins, led by the surprise slugging of second baseman Bernie Allen, moved up another notch Thursday by dumping Kansas City Athletics, 6-3. It was the Twins' 20th triumph in their last 26 games and lilted them to within two games of the first-place Chicago White Sox.

The Orioles ran like crazy, piling up 13 hits, their biggest output in a month. In the process they shelled Whitey Ford, the Yankee ace, who failed to finish a game for the first time in his last five starts.

Brooks Robinson's two-run Ilatren Trophy on by Onimet CHICAGO (iri'I) Francis Ouimct, winner of the National Open championship in 1913, Thursday was named the third winner of the Walter Hagen Trophy, awarded by the Golf Writers' Association to the man who has made a distinguished contribution to Anglo American golf. Ouimet received 105 of a total of 377 votes, with Lord Brabzon of Tare runner-up with 53. NOT BE ACCEPTED Naturally, the Tigers blew the lead twice. They were ahead 1-0 in the first inning and 3-2 in the third on Kaline's 15th homer of the season but starter Phil Regan couldn't hold the edge. The Indians, who made only five hits to Detroit's 10, converted their safeties to good use with the help of Regan's wild-ness and the shoddy work of the Detroit infield.

Cleveland scored twice in the second inning in numerical order, a hit batsman, a fielder's choice, a wild pitch, a bloop wrong-field double, Dick McAuliffe's throwing error and Don Wert's 'boot' of a double-play ball. After Kaline regained the lead, the Tribe climed in front to stay in the fourth when Norm Cash dropped McAuliffe's routine throw and Willie Kirkland lashed a homer off the facing off the upper balcony, about eight feet from the top of the stadium. Detroit had Kralick in hot water several times thereafter but he got out of each jam without allowing another run for his sixth win against five defeats. Detroit manager Bob Schef-fing's office was a silent spot afterwords. Scheffing managed to look at some figures and proclaim "Cleveland has allowed more runs than us and scored fewer and look at them.

That's the difference between hitting at the right time and the wrong time." If there's a consolation, the Tigers open a four-game series in New York tonight. They can't beat anybody else with consistency but they're 6-2 against the Yankees. Kaline continued his assault on the A.L. triple crown with two singles and his homer. He zipped his average to .352, seven points ahead of Boston's Frank Malzone, upped 1 league-leading RBI count to 48 and tied for the homerun lead with 15.

Jake Wood's single, Kaline's one-base knock and Rocky Cola-vito's sacrifice fly opened the scoring. After Cleveland went in front, Detroit tied it in the second on Bill I reehan's single, an error and Regan's single. Kirkland, who scored the first Tribe run and drove in the next two, also tallied the final run of the game in the sixth when he walked, moved up as Regan threw out Max Alvis and rode home on Joe Azcue's single McAuliffe and Kaline singled with one out in the fifth but Colavito grounded into a double Iplay. In the next frame, Cash and Wert singled around a pair of hoists to Al Luplow I field but pinch hitter in leu Frank like that just once when he's ahead. If it's any help, the Tigers Luplow on eight flied deep to occasions.

Uunfortunately, they Although some of the other favorites, such as Gary Cowan mm Another Test Yanks Triumph single in the seventh brought the Orioles from behind. The blow, driving in Luis Aparicio and Joe Gaines, pinned the loss on reliever Bill Kunkel. Robinson made it standup in the eighth when he threw out Joe Pcpitone at the plate after making a fine play on a slow-roller. Steve Barber, 10-5, won it, but needed help from Dick Hall. In the background, however, was an incident that took place in the Oriole dugout the night before, during Wednesday night's 3 2 loss to the Yankees.

In the fourth inning, on a play on which Baltimore tied the score there were two out and Aparicio was on first. Gentile raised a high twisting fly behind third base. Shortstop (Tete Boyer camped under it but tripped at the last second and the ball fell to the ground. Aparicio, running like a scared rabbit, scored. (Jen-tile, in disgust at popping up, merely dog trotted to first.

Had he run fast, he easily would have reached second. Hitchcock was fuming. He informed the first baseman he was being fined $100. Allen, whose bat was of little help to the Twins for the majority of their surge, had three of his season's four homers and two doubles in his last 12 times at bat. In addition to Allen, who hit .269 with 12 homers last season, Vic Power and Bob Allison were the big guns in Min nesota's 13 hit attack.

Power had three singles and a double and Allison drove in two runs with a double. Jim Perry, now 5-4, got the victory with relief help from Jim Kaat. Willie Kirkland's two run homer was the difference for the streaking Indians, who won their seventh straight even though out hit by Detroit 105 The Tigers' Al Kaline had three hits, including his 15th homer, and took over the American League batting lead with a 352 average.

Craig, who attended Assumption High School but didn't play there because "I wasn't good enough, I guess," first gained notice in 1959 when River Canard entered the senior and junior divisions of the Essex County League for the first time. The juniors won the title and the seniors were runners-up with Craig, then 19, doing the bulk of the pitching for the senior club. He later played at Maidstone in the County League and with Listowel in the Senior Inter-County. At U. of his records included most strikeouts in season, 103 this year; most strikeouts in career 219; most victories in season, eight in 1962; and most victories in career, 21.

Craig, a 6 5Vi" 225-pound right-handed pitcher, came up through minor ranks at LaSalle and River Canard and first gained prominence in the Essex County Baseball League, senior and junior. It was his work over the past three seasons at U. of though, that attracted the attention of Tiger scout Lou D'Annunzio.

All Craig did was build a brilliant 21-4 mark over three seasons, following in the footsteps of the famed Dave DeBusschere by claiming four U. of D. pitching Craig struck out 219 and walked only 56 in compiling a college earned run average of 2.33. Neither Tiger officials nor Craig would reveal the amount of his bonus, as is their choice. First estimates in the $25,000 neighborhood, however, have been revised considerably downward.

The guessing now is that Craig received about $13,000. Whatever it was, Craig told The Star that he "was extremely satisfied with the arrangement. Was he happy to be with the rpj- I "They've always been my sentimental favorites but it didn't matter really I just want to make the big leagues. Detroit offered me the best deal," commented the pride of LaSalle. D'Annunzio, who landed Milt Pappas for Baltimore Orioles and bagged Bill Freehand for the Tigers after he re-joined the Detroit scouting staff two years ago, said: "He's a good boy, big, and can throw the ball hard.

Confident? Sure, he's confident. That's one of the reasons we went after him. A boy like this has to believe in himself. Pete thinks he can make it to the top and to do we." Unless he shows such stuff that will warrant his elevation to a better league, Craig will probably finish the season at Duluth. At the end of the season, though, he must be placed on the Detroit roster or go on the major league's newly-established first-year player draft list.
