It was a tense, scoreless game with Detroit making several mild threats against the Jittery Tribe. . Three doubles and two Dertolt errors produced the five runs which pushed Cleveland to with in reaching distance of us first championship since 1920. Larry Doby, negro outfielder, started the. burst with the first double, a long one which hit the right field fence, and he went to third .when Detroit's Pat Mullin fumbled the rebound for an error. Doby stayed on third when Cleveland Manager Lou Boud-reau Boud-reau grounded out but came home when Joe Gordon rammed out his double, an arch to left center. Ken Keltner bounced a hard grounder off third baseman Johnny Outlaw's glove and Outlaw Out-law was charged with an error and Keltner went to second.

As Cleveland blanked Detroit defenses before 56,000 Home park fans, the Red Sox were paralyzing paralyz-ing the Yankees in Fenway Park, Boston, and earning a 9 to 1 victory. By winning, Cleveland remained remain-ed one game ahead of the Sox with a game to go. But had the Indians lost, as they did Friday; then Cleveland and Boston would have been tied for first place. Boston teed off early on the Tanks when Ted Williams soared a home run with a teammate on base In the bottom bot-tom of the first inning. The Sox again tallied twice In the third and tallied a fifth run la the fourth. Joe DlMagtio limped across the plate with the lone Yankee ran In the -seventh. Jack Kramer, the most dependable de-pendable man on the Boston staff. hurled five-hit . ball. - Tommy Byrne got the starting pitching assignment for New York. He was succeeded by a parade of tossers. Joe Page took over in the third, Allie Reynolds in the .sixth and Clarence (Cuddles) Marshall in the eighth. So now the chips are down for Sunday the blue chip The Indians In-dians will pitch their fireball star Bobby Feller, against the Tiger ace Hal Newhouser. In Boston will be an equally important game. Cleveland is the leader by one game and Cleveland lis the team the Red Sox must tie. But they can lick the Yankees again and still be cut short of the pennant. All Cleveland has to do to clinch the flag is to win one more game. Mickey Harris or Joe Dobson will pitch for Boston tomorrow and rookie Bob Porterfield for New York. .
