DETROIT - Frank How-
ard's tie-breaking two-run
homer off Wilbur Wood in
the eighth inning lifted the
Detroit Tigers to a 6-5 vic-
tory over the Chicago White
Sox last night.
With the score tied 4-4, Willie
Horton led off the eighth with a
single. Wood, 14-6, retired the
next two batters, but then How-
ard, the Tigers' designated hit-
ter, belted his firsthhome run of
the season into the spper left
field seats.
Chicago came back with one
run in the ninth on one-out sin-
gles by Pat Kelly, Dick Allen and
Bill Melton. But reliever John
Hiller, 3-2, retired Carlos May on
a grounder and struck out Rick
Reichardt to end the game.
The Tigers had taken a 4-2 lead
by scoring three runs in the third
on a run-scoring double by Al
Kaline, a sacrifice fly by Bill
Freehan and a run-scoring single
by Ike Brown.
But Chicago tied the score with
a pair of runs in the sixth on two-
out singles by Ed Herrmann,
Eddie Leon, pinch hitter Tony
Muser and John Jeter.
The game was delayed for 58
minutes by rain following the
sixth inning.
Howard's blast was especially
comforting to Bengal boosters
as he had been so fooled by
Wood knucklers in his previous
two trips to the plate. In one
swing he had seemed to go
around twice.
The victory gave the Tigers a
tie for the first place slot in the
American League East, pend-
ing the outcome of the Yankee
game with Oakland on the West
Coast.

but Doug Rader bounced into a
double play to end the only threat
off the Chicago right-hander.
Reuschel and Houston's Ken
Forsch, 6-6, were lockedd in a
scoreless duel until the fifth

late to third in an attempt to
get Kessinger. Rick Monday
