Cleveland ' has only one more doubleheader left, next Monday with the Athletics ine Philadelphia, while the Yankees have four of the double-poison dates, and the Red Sox have two. The fact Hiat the Yankees '' and tied Sox play each other' in twoxof these twin bills Is aH the more reason to figure that splits are the fciost likely outcome. !K It was clearly demonstrated last night that It is rare for even a hot contender to win two in the stretch. Both the Indians and Red Sox had to settle for splits in night doubleheaders with second division opponents, while the Yankees won a wielrd 4 to 2 decision from the Senators In the afternoon to retake first place by one percentage point. The Yankees were once again ahead as the lead changed hands for the fourth time since last Sunday.

Cleveland's “Mr. Rob Feller, number one candidate for the most, valuable « playei award, pitched his 22nd Victory of the season, a seven-hit 7 to 0 decision in which he struck out eight? after Ned Garver won a 4 to 2 decision for the Browns in the qpener. It was Garver’s 16th triumph. Cliff Mapes gave Garver his margin with a two-run In the second game, Cleveland backed up Feller with a 16-hlt assault. Dale Mitchell. Luke Eas< ter, feobby Avila, and Bob Kennedy chipping in with three each; Thto Red Sox won their opener, 8 to 5, Ellis Kinder' cqming in to pitch five scoreless relief innings.

The pesky Athletics came? back to win the second game. ll£ to 4. getting 15 hits as lefty Kellner doled out eight hits to win? his ninth game. Billy and Gus Zernial hit two tripleseach. Elmer Vaio got two doubles’’ and Eddie Joost hit a homer and single; in the rough work by the A’S. ’ The Yankees put on one of the grand : finishes; scoring three runs in the ninth on doubles by two old pios, Johnny Mize and Joe Di Maggio, to give Allie Reynolds a four-hit win over Washington. DiMaggio’s double, a ground-rule smash to right that bounced intothe stands, caused a furor overthe final score which first was I designated 3 to 2. then changed to; 4 to 2, because it was ruled that a- second run automatically was batted in on the hit because it bounced out of play. The Tigers topped the White Sox, 4 to 1 and 2 to 1, on a pair of five-hitters by Ted Gray and Virgil Trucks. Tracks had to go 14 innings to win the second game and he drove in the decid* ing fun himself with a double. In ; the National league, Brooklyn stayed 5Vk games in front of the Giants on the eve of their final big series when Preacher Roe topped the Phillies, 11 to 6, for his 19th victory against twq defeats, while New York was winning its thrid straight from the Braves, 7 to 3 in Boston. In an almost endless marathon at Cincinnati, 1 the Reds topped the Cubs. 7 to 6, in 18 irinings, while the Cardinals won their 10th game ip the last 11, drubbing Pittsburgh, 11 to 4. Roe received long range support from Furillo, who hit two and Andy Pafko, who delivered one. .Billy Cox drove in four runs with a double and triple. Bobby Thomson was the whole show for the Giants with a triple, double, and three singles as they made 15 hits and enabled Larry Jansen, to score his 18th win withcut difficulty. Monte Irvin hit a Giant homer. Dixie Howell finally broke up t,he endurance contest for the Reds witV a bases-loaded long fly.
