The Sox won right and lost five in their last 13 engage , menta; and the Yanks took seven and dropped six. But, as the Tig- • er* opened a four-game series al Boston today, the Sox had an advantage In the standing. Joe Cronin's lads held second place by a margin of one and a half games over the third-rung Invaders. And the fourth-place Yanka were only a half-game behind Detroit. If the Tlgers bleseed with ex cellent pitching and fair hitting can get better than an even break against the Red Sox and Yanlu. and finish their last eastern trip In second place, the achievement la bound to have a et'muiating effect upon the club. Moreover. It would place the Betigale in position to take advantage If the leading SL Louis Browns ha|»pened to falter ( from their currently steady pace At present, the Browne have a commanding lead of alx and half games over runner-up Boston.
