Now the Tigers, who were making serious first place overtures so recently, head for the west coast and, if the skid isn't checked, they could find themselves in the second division. IT WAS long-time tormentor Jack Kralick, the refugee from Wyandotte, who stalled the Tigers this time, along with a two-inning mop-up job from Gary Bell. Kralick worked seven innings before submitting to the stifling heat and doled out only four hits in registering his second win in six decisions.

Sparma was back in the Tiger dressing room by the end of the game, looking calm and cool, but he was a man who had been scared.
