 MAKE RECORD
BY JOE REICHLER JAP SPORTS WRITERl

barring a sudden collapse, had at least an outside chance today of breaking three coveted standards = winning the most games in one season. winning the pennant by the largest margin, and clinching the flag at the earliest date.
 Having already pockated e39 of tkeir first 48 games for remark able .813 average following yester- days sweep of their double header with the Detroit Tigers, the Red SoX can better the Chicago Cubs 1906 Major league record of 116 victories by winning 73 of their re- maining 106 contests, or in other words play 736 ball from here on in.
 The twin triumphs over the world champion tigers - by 7-1 and l1-6 scores - extended the Red Hose's s latest winning streak to 10 games, ! five short of their early-season consecutive string.
 | With the SoX pounding five De- trci5 pitchers for 25 hits including the 11th and 12th homers for Ted Williams, southpaw Mickey Harris and righthander Dave (Boo) Fer riss had an easy time registering their ninth and 10th victories re- spectively.
 1 The New York Yankees gained a split with the Cleveland Indians when clouting Charlie Keller crash ed his 18th homer of the season with two on in the ninth to give the Bronxites a "A nightcap over the Indians. The Tribe had cop ped the opener 9-5 as converted infielaer-outfieldor Bobby Lemon gained his first Major league pitch ing triumph in a relief role.
 Defeating the first place Brook lyn Dodgers 7-6 in 10 innings for the third straight over the Flat bUshers, the Chicago Cubs ran their streak to seven in row and moved up to within half game of the second place St. Louis Card inals.
 Splitting two games with the rejuvenated Philadelphia Phils, the Cards had to be satisfied with only half game gain on the Dodgers who now lead by three games. The Red Birds captured the first game 9-1 slugging a pair of Philly huflers from the mound.
 Hits in the finale by Schoolboy Rowe gave Ben Chapman's lads a 3-1 win.
 Washingtons Jinx over the Chi cago White Sox finally came to an end as the Sox split with the Sem ators, winning the second game 81 after the Capital City crew captur- ed the opened 0-1.
 Manager Mel Ott was thrown out of 10th games by the umpires as his New York Giants dropped a double bill to the Pittsburgh Pir- atcs 2-1 and 5-1.
 Tie Cincinnati Reds retained their fourth place position in di- yiding two games with Boston's s Braves. After Johnny Sain pitched and battled his way to 14-3 win for Boston in the opener, Cincin- nati's Ewell Blackwell outdueled Si Johnson 10 in the nightcap.
 The St. Louis Browns and the Philadelphia Athletics split two, the Browns winning the first 6-2 be- hind Denny Galehouse, and the As anncxing the nightcap 8-4 with Pail Marchildon on the mound.
