DETROIT - A hunting season
opened early for the Detroit Tigers and
Milwaukee Brewer pitcher Moose Haas
was the game. The Tigers successfully
stalked their prey, tapping Haas for
four runs en route to their 5-2 victory
last night at Tiger Stadium.
Detroit rookie pitcher Dan Petry up-
ped his major league record to 3-1 with
a near-perfect outing. His shutout was
ruined by ex-Tiger Ben Oglivie's ninth
inning homer with one Brewer aboard.
Previous to this he retired nine con-
secutive Milwaukee batters.
TIGER SHORTSTOP Alan Trammell
opened the attack with a looping single
to right in the third inning. He quickly
moved into scoring position for Ron

knocked Haas out of the game and the
Brewers called on reliever Paul Mit-

Shoddy base running helped Mitchell
get out of the inning. Tom Brookens
tapped a grounder to Milwaukee third
baseman Jim Gantner. He threw it to
catcher Charlie Moore, attempting to
cut down Parrish at the plate.

Trammell then grounded out to third to
end the inning.
Brookens added one more run to the
Tiger tally with an upper deck homerun
to left field in the seventh inning. This
put the Tigers up 5-0.
The Tigers travel to Toronto tonight
to face the Blue Jays. Milt Wilcox (8-4)

Ryan's
arm not
damaged
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP)-An exam-
ination yesterday found no damage to
the throwing arm of California Angels
pitcher Nolan Ryan, who left the mound
during a game against the Yankees
Wednesday night after feeling a "pop"
in his elbow, the Angels said.
"He will throw some tomorrow
(Friday), as he always does between
starts," said Angels spokesman Steve
Grinley. "He'll be under observation
and we'll just see what happens."
Ryan may be able to pitch his next
scheduled start, Sunday against Min-
nesota.
Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Robert
Kerlan examined Ryan's valuable right
arm Thursday and found no damage,
said Grinley.
"In all probablility, Ryan popped
some scar tissue in the right elbow,"
Kerlan said.
Ryan, who started the All Star Game
last week, underwent surgery in 1975
for removal of bone chips in the elbow.
Ryan, who has four no-hitters to his
credit, left in the second inning of
California's 9-5 victory over New York
Wednesday night at Yankee Stadium
and was flown home immediately.
The right-hander is 12-7 this year with
a one-hitter, two two-hitters, two three-
hitters and three four-hitters this
season.
The Angels lead the American
League West, thanks in a large part to
the pitching of Ryan, who helped fill the
void created when lefty Frank Tanana
was placed on the injured list.
