Beaten nine straight times and lodged in the National league cellar, the Bees got 8 grip on themselves a week ago when the league-leading Reds moved into the Bee hive. The picture wasn't very inviting for the Bees with the Reds scheduled to play them three straight doubleheaders in three days. Stengel had tossed 26 pitchers into the battle pit in nine games in an effort to find a winner. How could he hope to halt the Reds with their polished pitching staff topped by Paul Derringer and Bucky Walters?
 But Stengel came up with four winners (Strincevich, Salvo, Sulli- van and Errickson) in the Cincinnati series and the Bees gained momen- tum for the drive to get out of the cellar. After winning four out of six from the Reds, the Bees invaded Philadelphia to battle the seventh place Phillies. Hitting and hustling like they were headed for juicy world series cut, the Bees ran of four straight victories against the Phils and moved out of the dungeon.
 The Bees latest triumph was a 6-2 win over the Phillies yesterday. Jim Tobin, who has been laid up most of the season, outpitched Hugh Mulcahy to score his seasons first victory, allowing only seven hits. Mulcahy was tapped for six hits in seven frames and suffered his 18th defeat against as many victories. It was the Phils' eighth straight defeat. Eddie Miller's homer and single drove in three runs.
 Bucky Walters got back on the vic- tory route by pitching the Reds to a 3E1 triumph over the Cubs. It was Walters 18th triumph. He gave up nine hits but was aided by three Gin cinnati double plays. Ival Goodman's single in the fifth drove in what proved to be the winning run. Larry French allowed only six hits in los- ing but walked five men.
 Dolf Camilli's homer with two mates aboard in the 18th enabled the Dodgers to make 1t three straight over the Giants, 6E3. Bill Lohrman had the Dodgers licked, 3-1, going into the seventh when Peewee Reese hit a homer with mate on base to tie the score. Wesley Flowers Dodger southpaw up from Louisville held the Giants to three hits the last six innings and was tight in the pincheS.
 Cleveland muffed an opportunity to move into the American league lead by dividing twin bill with the Browns. Bob Teller scored his 18th triumph in the opener, "A. He was rapped for 10 hits, including a homer by Rip Radcliff but had the game under control all the way. The Browns won the nightcap on three hits, 2-1, with Eldon Auker nosing out Johnny Humphries in a hurlers' duel. An error and two walks loaded the bases and Don Heffner's long fly sent across the Browns winning run in the sixth.
 A two-run rally in the ninth en- abled the Red Sox to come from be- hind and beat the Yankees, 6-5, and make it four out of five over the ex- Bronx Bombers. Joe Cronin's single drove in the winning run. Emerson Dickmon went the route, allowing nine hits. Jimym Foxx hit homer No. 26.
 Sam Chapman's single and dou- bles by Bob Johnson and Babe Sie- bert produced two runs in the tenth and the Athletics beat out the Sena- tors, GA. Chapman previously had hit his 17th homer,
