NVYl AtDeL Gordon' Baas Homer Niiitli 111 Loss Drops Detroit into Second Place BY LYALL SMITH tree Press Sporta Editor CLEVELAND A leadoff home run by veteran Joe Gordon in the last of the ninth inning hauled the Tigers' pennant flag at half staff. The ball sailed over the left-field barrier to break a 3-3 deadlock and give Cleveland a 4-3 triumph before 29,909 customers. They had seen Don Kolloway's sixth homer of the summer score two runs to tie it up in the top of the same fatal inning. THE LOSS was disastrous for the Detroiters, as it plunged them a half-game behind the idle New York Yankees with the American League pennant race running to a rapid climax.

Harold Newhouser was the victim of Gordon's home run blast, his 19th of the season, after big Luke Easter had belted out a two-run homer in the opening inning and then had driven home the Indians third run with a single two frames later. Rapid Robert Feller came off the winner after Kolloway's blow had knotted the count in the top of the ninth. Feller had allowed just four hits up to that frame but, after Kolloway's blow, the Tigers picked up two more on singles by Joe Ginsberg and a surprise bunt by Newhouser. THEY WOUND UP with eight hits to the seven collected by the winners, but the home run bats of Easter (he hit his 2Sth) and 'Gordon were the difference, as the Tribe took a 9-8 bulge over Detroit for th season. i Arthur Hofitteman (19-11) will try to put the Tigers back in the race when he opposes Turn to Page 16, Column 4 Box Score DETROIT The House overrode the veto byjSress sent to President Truman a vote of 286 to 48, or 63 more I Friday a $4,700,000,000 tax-votes than the necessary two- i boosting bill to help put the thirds majority.
