Washington In Second Place, Amazing Pace New York, June 4 — (UP) — What in the world has brought about the amazing change in the Washington Senators’ Well, for one thing they do play a lot of games with the St. Louis Browns. This spring when the perennially puny Nats went through the motions 'of spring training at their base in Orlando, Fla., a veteran writer took a look and wrote that "it is a depressing experience to go to the camp of the Washington : Senators." But there wasn’t anything de- ; pressing about it as far as manag- ; er Joey Kuhel was concerned and ' the amateur magician, making no effort whatever to hide a tongue in his cheek, said in reply that "we’ll fool a lot of* folks—we may even wind up in the first division." Well, they were pretty high up in that first division today, in second place to be exact, thanks to their incredible hustle, their consistently fine pitching, and their frequent brushes with the Browns. Last night they defeated the Browns, 13 to 3, for the eighth straight time, taking over undisputed possession of second from the Red Sox, who dropped an 8 to 1 decision to the Indians in Cleveland. Paul Calvert, who got so tired of being a minor leaguer he gave up $1,500 of his own hard-earned cash to buy his release from Toronto, then had to sell himself to the Senators as a free agent, scored his sixth victory by holding the Browns to five hits. Eddie Yost set the tempo for Washington I II I ■

The Indians made it seven victories In their last nine-games by drubbing the Red Sox again, 8 to 1, at Cleveland, sewing up matters with six runs in the first Inning.

Joe Page ' pitched air-tight relief ball for the second straight day to save the ' game for Cuddles Marshall. The Dodgers turned on the Cardinals ahd put on a four run seventh inning to win a 5 to 2 decision in Brooklyn, reversing the pattern of the two previous games in which St. Louis came from behind to win. Relief pitcher Paul Minner won his second game of the season after Gil Hodges highlighted the big inning with a tworun homer. The Giants made it easy for Montia Kennedy to win his fifth game, lambasting Chicago Cub pitchers for 14 hits including homers by Jack Lohrke, Sid Gordon, and Bobby Thomson in a 15 to 5 triumph.
