Detroit Drops Cleveland, 5 to 4
DETROIT, July 8 (UP)—The Detroit Tigers, held to a lone hit for six innings, exploded with five runs in the seventh for a 5 to 4 win over the Cleveland Indians today. Coupled to New York's loss to Boston, the friumph inched the Tigers 41% games in front of the American League. Hal Newhouser credited for the win, wasn't around at the finish, and could thank Reliefer Paul Trout for protecting his victory. George Kell doubled in the winning run in the seventh.

As play resumed, Tiger Manager Red Rolfe was heaved out for protesting Rosen's remaining in action.

Can Be Hazy Track Question Proves Puzile ~ To Harness-Race Follower
By GEORGE M. GAHAGAN
finition
WHAT IS a kite track? The query seems a simple
At Wimbledon one, yet the reply must be qualified to regarding the actual "source of the definition. : - The question comes from an who seems to have been confused a bit by a variety of
replies that have come up. Specifically, the basis of the
MUSEL query was the famed Good Time mile track at Goshen, N.Y., over which the premier Hambletonian Stake is annually contested. Quite often this track is referred to as a “kite,” though usually by those unaware of the origin of the term, as applied to harness tracks. z
Adhering to the strict interpre-
tation which has been applied 3 Beyer-/and accepted in the turf world opened - for more than a half century, the Hila, Cal, winning, Goshen course is not a “kite” at all, In its shape, perhaps it is entitled to such, even if any boy its irregular form for a flight with his springtime favorite might be troubled with the action. The Good Time course is really near to a three-cornered plan, as there are three turns in #t, with each turn cutting off] the corner which we might call
