game lead in the American League.
The n-again-out-again series be-
tween the two clubs was in again
for the Senators yesterday as they
scored a 80 triumph by the grace
of Jimmy Vernons prolific stick
work that drove in two runs and
got him on base to score the third.
Hank Borowy's puzzling sophomore
slump continued when he went
down to his sixth defeat as Early
Wynn was earning his fifth victory.
Tex Hughson. boston ace. hurled
the Red Sox into a tie with Cleve-
land for third place with IL vic
tory over the Philadelphia Athle-
tics. Hughson gave up only five hits
over the route while the Sox were
hammering Russ Christopher and
Bert Kuczynski for II, including
Eddie Lakes two-run homer in the
second.
The Chicago White Sox turned
Don Guteridge's smoking liner into
a double play with the bases full
and one out in the ninth inning at
st. Louis to salvage a So decision
over the Browns that gave Johnny
HUMPHREYS his fifth victory.

was postponed because of race riots,
which inspired a ban against

The Brooklyn Dodgers picked up

Cardinals in the National League by
dropping the New York Giants, ia,

sixth inning after two were out
Len Merullo's single scoring Har-
ry Lowrey from second-after the
latter had picked up two bases on
an error by Johnny Wyrostek-car-
ried the Chicago Cubs to 10 YER

a morning game. Paul Derringer,
veteran right-hander, gave up only
seven hits in winning.
Bob Elliott, Pirate third baseman,
was credited with a freak assist
while lying unconscious. After Low
rey's sharp grounder had bounced
off Elliott's head, it was thrown to
first by Pitcher Johnny Podgajny in
time for the putout.
The Boston Braves hooked up
five-run second inning with Phil
