With the New York Yankees
and Brooklyn Dodgers monop.
olizing the major league pen.
nant races. fans who like their
baseball close must be getting
an occasional thrill these day:
out of the way the other first
division clubs are scrapping fol
the consolation prizes.
Yesterday, for instance, the
Cleveland Indians battled the
Detroit Tigers for ID inning:
without score on either side
While the Tribe missed a chance
to retake second place in the
American League, the deadlock
produced the nearest thing to a
no-hit game in the current cam
paign.
Alter playing to a standoff in
the twilight half of a double
header, the two teams came
back under the lights and De-
WV eAiuiiipiiSd, o-A.
Thus the Boston Red Sox, who
stopped the Yankees 80 in an
Inning daylight tilt, retained
possession of second place at
least for another day.
GIANTS REGAIN 3RD
At the same time, the New
York Giants recaptured third
place in the National League
from Cincinnati by beating the
Boston Braves, Ga. while the
Reds were going down before
the Pittsburgh Pirates, 81.
At Cleveland, Lefty AL Mil
mar of the Indians bid seriously
for the first no hitter since
Lon Warneke turned the trick
for the st. Louis Card n S
against the Cincinnati Reds last
Aug. 80, and nearly made it.
There were two out in the
ninth inning when Roger Cra-
mer singled for the first blow
off Milnar. But the Indians also
were held scoreless by Tommy
Bridges, although he yielded
nine hits. The only other blow
off Milnar in the five extra
frames was a single by Rudy
York in the 18th.
At the end of IA innings, the
game was halted by darkness
and an American League rule
that won't permit daylight n
tests to finish under lights. It
went into the books as a score
less tie, to be played off today
as part of of a doubleheader.
DIZZY WINS
Dizzy Trout pitched the Tig-
ers to victory in the second
game, Il m i ing the Tribe to
seven hits while his mates
pounded Mel Harder and Harry
Eisenstat for a dozen blows.
Detroit's victory enabled the
Tigers to regain fifth place, with
the help of the ST. Louis Browns,
who snapped nine-game win
ming streak for the Chicago
White Sox. Jenny Galehouse
pitched the Browns to a 90 tri-
umph, tossing four-hitter at
the White Sox which pushed
them back to sixth place.
In another night affair, the
Washington Senators downed
the Philadelphia Athletics, 81,
behind Buck Newsom's five-hit
pitching.
HUGHSON WINS 14TH
Tony Lupien's 18th inning
single drove in the run that
gave the Red Sox their hard
earned triumph over the YAM
KEGS and chopped the Bombers
margin to IL games. Tex Hugh
son went the distance for Bos-
ton, gaining his 14th win against
three defeats, although the ten
hits he gave up represented
twice the number the Sox col
lected off Marv Breuer and
Johnny Murphy.
While the Brooklyn Dodgers
were idle, the st. Louis Cardi-
nails reduced the margin be-
tween them in the National
eague to eight and a half
games by whipping the Chicago
Cubs, To. Max Lanier hurled
five-hit ball for the Cards, but
the Cubs made it close until the
ninth when the Rcd Birds rout-
