xNCW 4O2Ag Hughson, the lean righthander who was supposed to be the kingpin of the Boston Red Sox staff but turned out to be their only losing pitcher during an early-SeaSon Spurt, was back on the throne today, fitting place for a man who outpitched Bob Teller.
 Hughson'S victory last night was a royal ob from any angle. He al- lowed only three hits in taking the l to o game from Cleveland. Teller allowed five. Hughson struck out nine; Teller seven. And Hughson's victory was of inestimable value in the morale department. It stopped a four-game Boston losing streak, and such a triumph, coming over the best pitcher in baseball, was a tremendous shot in the arm for the stumbling Bosox, who had lost seven of eight previous games. The one victory was by HughSon at Chicago. Also to be considered was the ef- feet it would have on the New York Yankees. who fell before Hal New houSer at Detroit, 6 to ?, to drop to 1-2 games off the pace. The Tanks had begun to revive pennant hopes as Boston lost game after after game.
 Make Own Breaks
 The Red Sox made their own breaks as they won. Bobby Doerr opened the second inning with a triple. Rudy York, next up, fouled deep behind first base. Doerr streaked for home as the ball touched first baseman Les Elem ing's glove, and Lou Boudreau, ap- parently unaware Doerr was run- ming, cut off Fleming's desperate l throw.
 New York funbled away its game at Detroit. Four Yankee errors gave the Tigers their first four runs, and lefty Joe Page filled the bases on walks to set up the last two, which were chased as earned because De- troit drove them in with hits. New lnouser allowed four hits, including double by Charley Keller in the ninth, followed by Joe DiMaggio's $ homer. The ace lefty famed 10 bat ters, and was very fast as he over- powered the Yanks. Detroit now is only two games behind New York l9 1-2 behind Boston-and has played four less games than the | Tanks.
 Cecil Travis singled with the bases filled in the ninth inning to give Washington a to 2 victory over the St. Louis Browns. Gil Coan sin gled in the third run of the inning to assure Dutch Leonard the nod in pitching duel with Denny Gale house.
 L0wIy As Top SOx A ninth-inning rally also carried Philadelphia to victory over the Chicago White Sox. Hits by Buddy Rosar, Hank MaewSki and Phil Marchildon scored two runs for a 5 to verdict. Marchildon went all the way to gain his ttird pitching win.
 Brooklyn outslugged the St. Louis Cardinals before 8 capacity crowd of 32,OO0 at Ebbets Field, winning to 5 to stretch their lead over the RedbirdS to 2 1-2 games. The Brooks batted Al Brazle off the mound with three runs in the fourth on two walks and four singles. and added single runs in the sixth and seventh. Peewee Reese got three hits for the Dodgers and Stan Musial collected four for the Cards. Hugh Casey re- lieved Vic Lombari in the first inning and got credit for the victory.
 The Phils zoomed out of the cel- lar by edging Cincinnati, 2 to l, on the three-hit pitching of Schoolboy Rowe and the batting of Del Ennis. Ennis singled in the second inning, moved up on an out and then scored on Vance Dinges' hit. Ennis triple in the fourth batted Ron Northey home with the winning run.
 Giants in Cellar
 The Chicago Cubs dumped the New York Giants into the basement by tripping them, 5 to 4. on the hard hitting of Phil Cavaretta and Frank Secory. Cavaretta hit a homer and double, batted in three runs and scored twice. Secory batted in the other two runs with a timely single.
 Boston topped Pittsburgh, 3 to 2, on Mort Cooper's pitching and the hitting of Johnny Hopp and Dan Iitwhiler, each of whom got three hits. Cooper famed seven batters in winning his sixth game, and allowed eight hits. Mike Mccormick singled home in the winning run in the sixth inning.
