The four contenders stay within reach of first place, but always manage to blow a chance to take command. Boston started it, dropping the final game of a three-game set at JN'ew York after splitting the first two. Then Cleveland dissipated a two-game lead of last weekend by losing three in a row.

Next, the Yankees, who looked as if they were rolling, misfired after winning seven straight and, though still on top, settled for a slim one-game edge.

The Sox got two unearned runs for an early lead in the nightcap, but still couldn't get home safe.

Arnie Portocarrero cheeked the Sox oa six hits, but walked four- leaving 10 runners stranded, Trucks Wins. Opener Virgil Trucks won the opener, his 12ife, although forced out when hit by a line drive in the sixth.
