pARNELL IS WINNER
 20 GAMES
By JOE REICHLER

Who is the Boston Red Sox' most valuable player? Ted Williams? Vern Stephens? Dom DiMaggio? The selection here is Mel Parnell, the majors first 20-game winner
 The rampaging Red Sox today were only game and half be- hind the American League-leading New York Yankees That's the closest they've been to the top all season. And they owe it mainly to the stout left arm of the 27-year-old Parnell.
 Parnell teamed up with Ellis Kinder to pitch the Red Sox to a double triumph over the Chicago White Sox yesterday. Mel twirled seven-hitter in the opener as the Bosox bashed three Chicago pitch CTS for an 11-4 triumph on IT hits Boston collected l6 safeties in the second game to win, 19-7. The triumph not only was Parnell's 20th, but his sixth in a row, and his fifth over the White Sox.
 Boston's sweep, coupled with Clevelands 5-3 victory over the Yankees in a night struggle. shaved off game and half from the Tanks three game margin.
 Ted Williams and Bobby Doerr were the big Red seekers. Williams connected with his 31st and 32nd homers in the opener and batted in two runs with three hits in the nightcap. Doerr drove in seven mates in the twin bill.
 Al Benton, veteran Cleveland righthander. stopped the Yankees with seven hits as the third place Indians climbed to within five games of the top. Lou Boudreau and Dale Mitchell batted in two runs apiece to hand Vic Raschi his eighth defeat.
 Both St. Louis and Brooklyn were lceaten to leave the National League-leading Cards still game and a half in front of the Dodgers. The New York Giants whipped the Redbirds, Az, and the Chicago Cubs defeated the Dodgers by the same score.
 Larry Jansen, aided by a three run uprising against Gerry Staley in the seventh, won his 14th game for the Giants. He allowed five hits including a home run by Marty Marion. Three pitchers stopped the Dodgers, with Bob Muncrief, the middle hurler, winning his fourth game of the season. Joe Hatten was the loser.
 Detroit moved into fourth place in the American League. passing the Philadelphia Athletics as they hammered out IS hits, including three home runs, to wallop Wash- ington, l1-1. Ted Gray scattered six hits for his eighth victory.
 
 Stan Spence belted two home runs and drove in five runs to lead the St. Louis Browns out of the American League cellar with an l1-3 victory over the As. Joe Ostrowski gained credit for his eighth win.
 Al Dark's single with two out in the ninth drove in the tying and winning runs as the Boston Braves nipped the Cincinnati Reds, 3-2.
 Ralph Kiner blasted his 36th home run with a mate aboard in the third inning to give the Pitts burgh Pirates 3-2 victory over the Philadelphia PhillieS.
