troit's Steve Gromek matched his
entire 1953 victory total and be
came the major league's first sev
en-game winner today, breezing
to an 8-3 victory over the slump
ridden Philadelphia Athletics.

righthander, who has lost only
once this season, spaced six hits
in sending the A's down to their
fifth straight defeat and 11th in
their last 12 games.
The Tigers backed Gromek with
a 14-hit attack including rookie
Frank Bolling's two-run homer.
Detroit catcher Frank House
collected a single and double to
extend his hitting streak to 13
games, and Ray Boone connect
ed for three singles.
Jim Finigar and Bill Renna
slugged Gromek for home runs
but both blows came at the start
of an inning and proved nothing
more than an annoyance to the
veteran hurler.
