YANKS NOT ABLE; LOSE TO CAIN
Bengals Lefty Twirls 3rd Shutout
NEW YORK, Sept. 14 (AP) - Bob Cain fired his third shutout of the season and the
Detroit Tigers slipped past the New York Yankees, 1-0, at the Stadium.
With the loss the Yankees fell 2 1/2 games behind the idle Cleveland Indians in
the American League pennant race. New York's Vic Raschi absorbed the loss
despite a strong effort--one run on five hits in eight innings.
Detroit scored the game's only run in the top of the first. Johnny Lipon
led off with a double past third baseman Gil McDougald into the left field
corner. One out later, Don Kryhoski looped a single to center, advancing
Lipon to third. Vic Werz followed with a fly ball to right field that was
deep enough to score Lipon to put the Tigers on top, 1-0.
Detroit threatened to add to the lead in the third, when they loaded the bases
with one out, but Raschi retired Pat Mullin on a pop fly to short and fanned
Hoot Evers to extinguish the threat.
The best scoring chance for New York came in the fourth. Joe DiMaggio drew
a one-out walk and Yogi Berra flied to center. McDougald followed with a
single to center, leaving runners at first and second with two outs. But
Jerry Coleman fouled out to third to end the inning.
Raschi fought off a threat in the top of the sixth. Wertz and Mullin
singled to put runners at first and second to open the frame. Evers flied
to right for the first out and Jerry Priddy was retired on an infield out to
advance the runners to second and third and Frank House walked to fill the bases
with two outs. But Cain grounded out to end the inning.
Meanwhile the Yankees were doing nothing against the Detroit starter.
Mickey Mantle led off the bottom of the sixth with a single, but Hank Bauer
lined into a double play. That was the last New York baserunner of the
game; Cain retired the final 11 Yankees he faced to end the game.
