 New York, Aug. 3.--(UP)- They don't call owner Clark Griff1th of the Washington Senators the "Old Fox" for nothing.
 Borrowing a page from the book of sam Breadon of the St. Louis Cards, Grifith today has his ball players hustling for world series cut that would be more than many of them will make for an entire season.
 Wherever the Senators go in their swing about the American league circuit, fans, writers and opposing teams are impressed by their spirit and hustle. It's the. same kind of spirit that has typified Cardinal clubs for years and is born of desperation. If a player has chance to double his money just by landing in the world series, he is likely to bear down and that is just what must be buzzing through the minds of the clouting Capitol isns as they get closer and closer to first place.
 Right "Up There"
 Today they were only half game out after another double e-header vic- tory at Cleveland, to 0 and 6 to 5, yesterday. That ran their current winning streak to five straight games. The five-hit shut out by Roger Wolff in the opener was the third blanking job in four games by Senator pitcher.
 Winding up their final western swing with 13 victories out of 20, the Senators won the first game on the margin of 8 homer by George Myatt. Wolff himself drove in the other runs, getting two hits and a sacrifice as he won his 18th game. The Mats knocked out Steve Gromek with four runs in the first inning of the second game but couldn't hold the margin. Cleve- land pecked away at Santiago Ull- rich and finally tied the score with two runs in the ninth on homer by Mickey Rocco and doubled by Lambert Meyer and Les Fleming. Mickey Haefner gained his second win in as many days, pitching three relief innings as the Senators pusf1- over the winning run in the 11th on singles by Mike Kreevich and Dick Kimble and a fly by Buddy Lewis.
 Detroit won, 4 to 1, from the vis- iting Athletics, but lost a half game in the intensifying race. Paul (Dizzy) Trout won his 18th game and his fourth in row, holding the As to seven scattered hits. Detroit could get only six of Bill Connolly, a Virginia Navy dischargee making his first big league start, but for were for extra bases Hank Green berg hit his seventh homer and a double to pace the attack.
 Chicago topped the visiting Yank- ees, 6 to 5, in Il innings when Mike Fresh doubled and Kerby Farrell singled him home. Fresh earlier had doubled in the last of the ninth to touch of three-run rally which tied the score. Ed Lopat was shaky, but managed to win his ninth game, a 12-hitter.
 Close Split
 The Browns and Red Sox split at St. Louis. Bob Muncrief notched his eighth victory against two losses, giving the Browns 4 to 2 victory in the opener. A two-run single by Milt Byrnes put the Browns in front to stay in the seventh In the sec- ond game, the Browns handed the Red Sox a 5 to 4 victory on loose fielding and wildness by pitcher Weldon West, who walked six men. Mike Ryba won his fifth victory although he had to have help from Rookie Dave Ferriss in the ninth when George McQuinn's two-run homer came within run of tying the score. The Browns dropped to fourth behind Chicago.
 There were no National league games scheduled.
