behind the three-hit pitching of Luman Harris, scored their second straight over the Bengals, 2-0. Harris pitched one-hit ball going into the eighth frame and had retired 18 men in order when the Bengals got to him for their other two hits. Harris also batted in one of the Philadelphia runs with a single in the eighth. Mel Harder, seeking his 202d major league victory on Mel Harder night at Cleveland had a tough time of it as the Senators beat the Indians, 4-2, largely on Harder's error. The dean of the Tribe's pitching staff, being feted by the home town folk for having achieved his 200th victory while the club was in the east, blew a 2-1 lead by dropping a throw while covering first base. Three Nats were on the bases and two scored to deprive Harder of the decision. Browns Gain Half Game The second-place Browns gained another half game on the idle Yankees by winning their second straight over the Red Sox, 3-2. Tex Hughson started for the Sox and gave up all seven of the Browns hits. Bob Muncrief was on the mound for the winners and allowed seven hits. The Yankee game against the White Sox was rained out. In the National the Braves finally supported Al Javery and the hurler came up with the first win of the season, a three-hit performance that edged the Pirates, 1-0. Chicago at Philadelphia, Cinginnati at New York and St. Louis at Brooklyn in the National were rained out.
