The Detroit ace figures he could hit that mark by winning a little better than a game a week and, with less than two weeks of the season completed, he already has a 3-1 mark. That’s the best start of hfs ca- ! reer, even better than in 1944 when he won 29 games and lost but nine, just missing the magic mark which 1 no big league pitcher has hit since Dizzy Dean of the Cards had a 1 30:7 season in 1934. No American League pitcher has had a 30-game season in 18 years, Lefty Grove of ■ the Athletics being the last with ’ his incredible 31-4 season in 1931. I * “A guy has to be plenty lucky i s and he has to have a hot streak 6 when he wins a little oftener than 6 a game a week," Newhouser said. ! 5 "Os course you also have to ac1 count for the times when you ’ aren't going so good, too.” The American league’s premier , southpaw had to have a measure of ■ that luck he mentioned yesterday at Detroit when he won a 3 to 2 duel from Bob Lemon of Cleveland, who gave up only two hits. But one of those Tiger hits was a threerun first inning homer by Dick Wakefield and that gave New1 houser all the help he needed. He 3 gave up eight hits, including two * doubles and two triples. 1 The White Sox, who have won seven of their eight victories from the Browns, moved into second '• olace at the expense of their “ Missouri cousins whom they dev seated 7 to 6 and 14 to 11. They won the second game deeply an 8 eight run ninth inning rally by St. r Louis. The usually anemic Chican go batsmen contributed four home ers by Luke Appling and Bud Souchock in the opener and by - rookie Jerry Scala and Cass Mich- * aels in the second game. I At New York the Yankees sufferI ed their first home defeat after I seven the 'Red Sox winI ning an 11 to 2 decision as Ted Williams hit a grand slam homear and Vern Stephens and Johnny Pesky got two run homers. Lefty Mel Parnell scattered six hits to win his third straight game. The Athletics crushed the Senators twice, 15 to 9 and 7 to 4 at Philadelphia. Elmer Vaio batted in seven runs in the first game with two grand slam triples and a single. In the opener Eddie Robinson and Sherry Robertson hit Washington homers while in the second tilt Mark Christman homered ’’or Washington and Fermin Guerra and Hank Majeski homered for Philadelphia.
