Tuesday $25,000 added JULY 4th HDCP POST PARADE 2 P.M ,16 fvULE fit DEQUtNDRE Continued from First Sports Salmon's double, which knocked Brown, out of the game, had given the Indians a 1-0 lead in the fifth. But McLain had given up just Itwo other singles when he took his 3-1 lead into the eighth. VIC ripped a double down the first base line with one out. McLain retired the next hitter on a fly ball to cen-iter but Max Alvis sent the run Land an answer Thursday to the Al Kaline broke his finger. Jim Landis John Hiller Campbell didn't know how Landis and Hiller would fit into Tiger plans after the return of Kaline in mid-July.

"The Injury to Al is going to hurt but it's not the end of the world," he. said. "I have no reason to believe we over-estimated this team when we came North this spring. "The injury to Willie Horton has hurt, sure. And this slump has been a bad one.

"But to say we're out of it at this stage is ridiculous. Pittsburgh is eight games behind and do you think they're out it? Baltimore is 104 games be hind but would you count them out? We're only 5Vs games from the top and it's still June." THE TIGERS were reassuredj Thursday that Horton will noti injure his leg permanently by playing on it tins season. "If he only plays when he feels he can, there is no danger to the leg," Campbell said. "After the season we may have to consider an operation." Campbell rejected the idea that there are disciplinary problems on the Tigers. "You cannot put a ballclub together and expect to come up with 25 ideal men," he said.

"There are some who get their days and nights mixed up. But to say this is a cause, or even; contributing factor, to the slump is out of line. "We'll come outN of this, though, I guarantee it. Maybe we've already started to. You never know until after it's happened." I pened." The Tigers came up with outfield vacancy created when General Manager Jim Camp bell obtained veteran outfielder Jim Landis from the Houston Astros.

Landis came to the Tigers in a straight swap for relief pitcher Larry Sherry, one of the season's major disappointments. Lefthander Johnny Hiller was brought up from Toledo to fill out the pitching staff. The trade was made early Thursday after Kaline was placed on the 21-day disabled! list. Campbell said a more real-; istic estimate would be four; weeks until he was ready to return to the lineup. LANDIS, 33, was a .259 hitter as a part-time outfielder and defensive replacement for the last place Astros.

The Tigers feel he has retained much of his running speed and can hit consistently when used sparingly. He hit .283 with 22 homers in his best season with the White Sox in 1961. But he hasn't come within 40 points of that batting average since and has played for Kansas City, Cleveland and Houston in the last three seasons. Sherry, 32, set a Tiger record by appearing in 55 games last season, his most successful in three years with De- troit. tsut ne naa Deen Datterea re- peaiecuy xms year ana was u-i with a 6.43 earned run average Sherry complained he had been "left at the post" in relief assignments this season when he got off to a slow start, and lost his fastball because of inactivity.

In the last week he had also been bothered by a bruised instep. The righthander came to the Tigers before the 1964 season on waivers from the Dodgers. HILLER IS getting his third trial with the Tigers after reporting overweight and coming down with pneumonia last year. He was 4-1 at Toledo in both relief and starting assignments. Farm director Don Lund said he had mastered control of his breaking pitches to go along with a fastball that had always been excellent.

of a I Tigers home with a ground single through the left side. When Leon Wagner lined a single to center, Mayo Smith beckoned for the Bear. Don Demeter was the next hitter, but the Indians sent up Whitfield instead. The Tigers retained the lead for one more pitch. The second became Whitfield's eighth homer of the year.

Detroit did a lot of huffing and puffing after that but couldn't score again. They loaded the bases in the eighth on Steve Bailey with a walk and two singles. But Don Wert banged into a double play to stop that threat. IN THE NINTH, a walk and Horton's pine h-h it single brought Landis to the plate with the winning run. But second baseman Gus Gil made a running pickup of his hopper and threw him out.

Detroit also missed a great opportunity against Tiant in the third when Stanley hit a leadoff double, his first of three hits and went to third on a wild pick-off throw. But Tiant struck out McClain and' McAuliffe and shortstop Larry Brown made a running catch of Jerry Lumpe's pop fly to short left. Smith started a lineup of five lefthanded hitters, with McAuliffe opening the game at shortstop for the first time this year. The Tigers remained 5 72 games behind Chicago, which opens a three-game series here Friday night. Kaline, Brown and Earl Wil son will all miss the games with injuries, while the limping Horton will probably see just part-time service.

Cornell Rows To Victory In Henley HENLEY-On-Thames, England UP) Cornell University kept U.S. hopes alive in the Henley Royal Regatta Thursday, scoring a convincing triumph over England's Durham University to enter the quarter-finals of the Thames Cup competition for egiht-oared 'boats. Out of seven American en- tries. U.S. crews won three races and lost four.

Biggest U.S. disappointment was the defeat of the University of Wisconsin heavyweights by Oxford University in the first round of the Grand Challenge Cup, the regatta's top event. Cornell, favorite to win the Thames Cup, beat Durham by 2V2 lengths in 7:24. The New York eight will meet Crowland Rowing Club of England in the quarter-finals Friday.
