 New York, May l6.-(UP)-After bouncing around the American league for seven years and always just failing to capitalize on his early promise, Denny Galehouse to- day wondered under what unlucky star he was born. The big St. Louis Browns righthander had another taste of his bad luck yesterday when he missed the Hall of Fame by the scantest of margins-one hit
 Making his first start of the season, Galehouse had the Wash ington senators eating out of his hand until two were out in the 7th Then Jimmy Bloodworth singled to center breaking Galehouses spell And again Galehouse, the man of much promise, had another big "al- most" go down beside his record.
 The lowly Browns won easily To, and Galehouse mastered the Sena- tors. He walked three men and hit one but only two Senators reached second, both on errors. Galehouse struck out five and hit a double with the bases loaded which drove in three runs.
 It was the best pitched game in the American league this season and gave the Browns hope of soon get- ting out of the cellar. It was Galehouses second victory, having game In relief on Sunday.
 Manager Fred Haney hopes that Galehouse will continue to show form he did yesterday and make Joe Cronin sorry he let the big righthander go. Galehouse pitched for the Red SoX for two seasons during which he won 15 and lost l6. Before that, with the Indians, Galehouse won % and lost 20 over four seasons.
 Cleveland continued It's winning way by trimming the Red Sox, 6-4, and increasing It's American league lead to four games. Again the In- dlans capitalized on the breaks, scoring two runs on Joe Cronns error with the bases loaded. Bob Teller had to come in to quell Red Sox rally in the ninth with two on and no out. Spence, try Ing to bunt, popped up and Ted Williams lined to Trosky who turned 1t Into q double play.
 The Yankees hit rock bottom by lowing to the White Sox, l3-l. It was ono of the most humiliating defeats the Tanks have suffered in years. They did everything wrong, Two ex-Yanks, Cyril Hoag and Billy Knickerpocker, rubbed salt In the Yankee wounds, each mak- Ing four hits. Edgar Smith toyed with tho Tanks allowing nine hits, eight of them singles. Kuhel, Wright and Knlckerbocke hit homers mak- ing the seasons home runs totals: Tanks 24, opposition 24. There's been nothing like that since Babe Ruth joined the Tanks in 1920.
 Detroit snapped 6-game losing streak by blasting out IS hits and defeating the Athletics l0-2. Hal Newhouser let the As down with seven hits. Rookie Pat Mullin led the Tigers attack with Q triple, double and two singles.
 Hal Schumacher bested Claude Passeau in a pitchers duel and the New York Giants nosed out the Chicago Cubs, 2-i. Arnovichs single, Fuckers double and Whitehead's single accounted for New York's two runs.
 The Boston Braves battered four St. Louis pitchers for IA hits that were good for c 6 to 3 victory over the Cardinals. The setback in- creased the idle Brooklyn Dodgers league lead over the second place Red Birds to two-and-one-half games. The Braves replaced the Cubs in fourth place by virtue of the victory.
 The Philadelphia Phill!es drove out five singles in four-run 9th inning rally to hand the Cincin- natl Reds their fifth straight defeat, 5-4 in the first night game of the season before 18,8l4 fans at Crosley field. The Phils tralied 3-l going
