 New York, June 1o-(UP)-Edgar Smith, portly Chicago White sox Southpaw, had 6 flrmer grip than ever today on the title, ."hard luck pitcher of the year."
 Smith has lost 8 couple of l-O contests and pair of 2-l games but he reached new high last night when he lost Q two-hitter to the Philadelphia Athletics. For the two. hits he allowed-one of them of the inf1eld variety, incidentally both became runs as the Sox drop- ped the game, 2-0, before 0l9J fans under the lights at Philadelphia.
 It was Smiths tenth straight loss and he has yet to win a game. The way the White Sox are failing to scoye for him, he conceivably could go all season without winning. Yet he could still wind up with 6 re- spectable earned-run average. Smith gave Bob Johnson a double in the second and the Indian moved to third on a fielder's choice. Then he scored while the White Sox were making a double play.
 Tn the fifth Pete Suder walked, advanced on an infield out, moved to third on a scratch single by Bob Harris and scored on Luke Appling's wild throw.
 Smith walked three and famed two during his seven innings on the mound and Joe Haynes, who re- lleved him, didn't allow a hit in the inning he pitched. Bob Harris, re- gently obtained from the Browns, won his first game for the As, allow ing seven hits. The As victory enabled them to move into seventh place as the White Sox plunged into the cellar. 1t was day of double disaster for Manager Jimmy Dykes who was fined $250 for his stalling tactics in Boston Sunday.
 Cleveland moved up into third place by nosing out Washington, 7-6, in a 10-inning game last night before an estimated 5000 in the na- tion's capital. Three errors by Ellis Clary, rookie second baserlayl up from Chattanooga, played an im- portant part in the Senator's de- feat. Sid Hudson led the Indians, 5-3, going into the seventh, but his teammates made three errors in that frame as the Tribe went ahead, 6-5. washington tied 1t up but Chubby Dean, Clevelands fourth pitcher, scored the winning run on his single, Clary's error, wild pitch and Keltner;s fly.
 Eleven Up
 The Tanks took only one hour and 36 minutes to polish of the Tigers in daylight game, 4-1, and increased their American League lead to II games. The defeat drop ped Detroit from second to fourth place as the idle Red Sox moved into the runner-up spot. Hank Borowy fashioned a 4-hitter while the Tanks trapped Dizzy Trout, who has beaten New York once this year, for ten hits. Tommy Heinrich hit his 7th homer and drove in two runs. Joe Gordon ran his consecu- tive game hitting streak to 26, but Buddy Hasset was halted after bat ting safely in twenty straight games.
 Bobby Doerr, who hit 8 homer, double and two singles, led the Sox to Q 7-4 victory over the Browns. Oscar Judd won his fourth game, allowing eight hits. Bill Conroy also homered for the Red Sox.
 Scoring three runs. in the first inning, the Giants halted Cincin- nati,s 6-garne winning streak with 3-l triumph. Bill Lohrman beat the Reds for the second time, allow ing only five hits. Thompson, Shoun and Beggs allowed only five hits but the Giants early push decided 1t. Ray Lamanno hit homer No. 2.
 Pittsburgh clouted out Q l0-2 vic- tory over Boston, and moved up into fifth place as the Braves drop ped to sixth. It was the Pirates fifth straight win and the Braves eighth straight loss.
 YESTERDAYS STAR - Bobby Doerr, Red Sox second baseman who had a perfect day at bat, 4 for 4," and wrested the Ameri- can League batting lead from Joe Gordon with percentage of .390.
