 Newsom was hardly at fault last night as he failed in his third at tempt to register his initial win. He gave up only five hits and one run in eight innings. Philadelphia came up with four runs in the top half of the 1lth to whip the Sena- tors 5-1
 Each league got new runner up tenant as Brooklyn moved into second spot in the National by defeating the Boston Braves 8-3 at Ebbets Field and the Boston Red Sox nipped the New York Yankees 4-3 at Fenway Park to move be- hind Detroit in the American.
 Earl Torgeson of Snohomish col lected home run and double to drive in all Boston's runs.
 Dodgers Clip Braves
 The Dodgers made good use of II hits to clip the Braves, who dropped to third place by nine per centage points
 The game was highlighted by a Dodger run-in with plate umpire George Magerkurth in the second frame over his hall and strike deci- sions and resulted in the clearing of the Brooklyn bench of everyone except manager Burt Shotton coach Jake Pitler, infielder Cooke Lavagetto and pitcher Hugh Casey
