 New York, Sept. 7-CUP) Base balls spotlight shined brightest to. day on pitchers Lefty Lee Grisson, Cincinnati southpaw, and Raymond Phebus, Washington's rookie right handler. .., ..,.
 On a day in which the pitchers had perhaps their greatest success this season, GriSsom and PhebuS just missed baeball's hall of fame. Each pitched a one-hit game. Gris- som lost his by a queer quirk. Phe- bus won his, 20 shutout.
 Out of the 16 games yesterday, there were nine of five hits or less. Seven out of the IS were decided by one run. Twenty-two pitchers went the route. Only the Detroit Tigers did any real slugging, col- lecting 17 hits in one game and IS in another.
 Hard Luck
 Grissom came nearest to a perfect game, and yet he lost 2-l, to the Chicago Cubs. He held the Cubs hitlesS until the eighth. Then Phil Cavarretta's pop fly fell safe for a double. Jurges was safe on an error and Curt Davis bunted and was saf' on flelders' choice, filling the bases.
 Grissom threw a wild pitch and Cavarretta scored the tying run. Jurees tallied the winning run on Galan's fly.
 Phebus allowed the Red Sox only one hit, double by catcher Gene DesautelS, but walked seven men. He pitched superbly in the pinches and had two double plays to aid him in scoring 20 shutout.
 Ivy Paul Andrews, Cleveland castoff now with the Yankees, held the Athletics to three hits; Bob Teller, Indians miracle boy turned the White So back with four hits; Ted Lyons, White SoX veteran yielded only five hits to Cleveland; Curt Davis, Cubs sick man" doled out four hits to the Reds; Danny MacFayden, Bees bespectacled vet eran, pitching with a broken toe, lost four-hitter to Brooklyn; Hal Schumacher, Giants veteran, let the Phils down with five hits; and Cy Blanton and Jim Tobin, com. bined to lose a five-hitter to the Cardinals.
 In the pennant race, events con- tinued to point more strongly to another subway series" The Giants won a double~header from the Phillies, 6-2, and 9-3, and gained another game on the Cubs who split a double-header with the Reds. Errors helped Cincinnati win the first game, 7-3. Curt Davis bested Grissom in the second game, 2-l. The Giants lead Is now three games.
 The Yankees knocked off the Athletics twice, 6-3, and 2-1, hold ing their Il games. Joe DiMaggio hit homer No. 40.
 Detroit walloped the St. Louis Browns twice, l0-9 and 5-2, to hold the runner-up position. Pete FoX's double won the opener, and his homer and single helped win the nightcap,
 No Blood
 All the other double -headers re- suited in even breaks. After Lyons had pitched the White Sox to 2-l victory in the opener with Cleve- land, Teller pitched the Indians a 2-' triumph. Lefty Grove outpitched Wes Terrell to- give the Red Sox a 6-2 victory over Washington, and then Phebus came through with his one-hitter to tame the Red Sox, 20. Outfielder Johnny Stone, Wash ington, hurt his shoulder in diving for fly and may be out the rest of the year.
 Arky Vaughan's homer in the ninth gave Pittsburgh a 5-4 victory over the Cardinals in the nightcap after St. Louis had won the opener, Al, on five hits. Johnny Cooney's single with the bases filled in the tenth gave Brooklyn a 2-1 ten inning victory over the Bees despite MacFayden's fourShit pitching. Lou Fette pithced the Bees to a GA tri- ufhph in the nightcap, and scored his 17th win.
